Palm Sunday, the Celebration of Yahshua's Kingship!

Click Image To Enlarge
The Christian Feast of Palm Sunday, which falls on March 29th in 2015, celebrates the events surrounding Yahshua's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem in the week before He died. This is the event that established the fact that Yahshua is to be worshiped as the King of All Israel (Israel = both the House of Judah and the House of Ephraim) Who has come in the Name of His Father Yahweh. He was so worshiped by the Jews and other Israelites who loved and followed Him during the week before He died for our sins on the Cross, and He will be worshiped in the same way when He comes again and the Jews finally acknowledge Him and worship Him at His feet! Luke 19:28-44 and Matthew 23:37-39 confirm this:
~*~ Luke 19:28-44 ~ The Triumphal Entry ~*~ 
          “When He had said this, He (Christ) went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. 31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’”
          So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them. But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, “Why are you loosing the colt?” And they said, “The Lord has need of him.” Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him. And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road. Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, saying:
          “ ‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!’ (Psalm 118:26) Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
          And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.””
~*Matthew 23:37-39 ~ Christ Laments over Jerusalem*~
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ (Psalm 118:26)”
It is clear from these two Scriptures that directly quote the words about Yahshua in Psalm 118:26 that Yahshua is to be worshiped as the King of All Israel now and forever, and all the Jews will have to be ready to accept Yahshua as their Messiah when He comes again. Thankfully, there are many signs that Jews all over the world are awakening to the realization that Yahshua is truly their Messiah! Hallelu-Yah for that, because this means that Yahshua is indeed coming again very soon!

Also in Honor of Palm Sunday, Passover and Firstfruits, I would like to recall an article I wrote and published on my POEM Blog in August of 2014 that is directly tied to the events that Palm Sunday commemorates. In hopes that you will read it to gain more wisdom, here is the Title and Link to it:

THE SPIRITUAL ALLEGORY HIDDEN
IN CHRIST’S RIDE UPON TWO DONKEYS

This article explores the rich symbolism that is tied directly to Yahshua's rides upon two donkeys during His triumphal ride into Jerusalem - symbolism that is directly tied to the Celestial Sign of Cancer, which is known in the Gospel in the Stars as God's main Heavenly Sheep Pen. It depicts the heavenly abode where God symbolically keeps His faithful Sheep from both Houses of Israel, which can be likened to the Mansions that Yahshua has prepared for His Bride in Heaven, a place the Bride of Christ and the Wise Virgins will inhabit temporarily after the Rapture, which will likely happen very soon.

This March, Jupiter will be in the Sign of Cancer, which is the Constellation that also represents the in-gathering of all those who love Yahshua into one family during His Millennial Rule. Jupiter is called the Messiah Planet because it is representative of Yahshua as the Suffering Servant, by Whose stripes we are healed, and this is likely why Jupiter is a planet that appears to have red and white stripes reminiscent of Christ's scourge marks. Since Jupiter is a very bright planet, it is a great time to see it and its largest moons, which can be seen without a telescope or binoculars in really dark skies.

While Jupiter is still in Cancer, the next Full Solar Eclipse or Sackcloth Sun will appear in the Sign of Pisces, which - uncannily like Cancer - also represents the Two Houses of Israel. The main difference between Cancer and Pisces is that Cancer depicts the Two Houses united under the kingship of the King of kings, whereas Pisces shows them at odds with one another and the King of kings.

When the Solar Eclipse occurs, it will be best seen over Greenland, the United Kingdom, and Northern Europe, and it is likely a sign that judgment is coming to the wicked in those nations soon. Below are some graphics depicting that event that were taken from my blog article entitled: "The Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014 and 2015 - A Visual Prophetic Guide Focusing on the USA and Israel".

There are similar graphics in that same Blood Moon Tetrad article that depict the meaning of the third Blood Moon in the Tetrad of 2014 and 2015 that will fall on Passover, April 4th, 2015, just before Pascha or Resurrection Sunday. These are powerful heavenly signs that were left for us by God to tell us that the Rapture, the Great Tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ are all very near! Look up, fellow believers, for our redemption and deliverance from this wicked world are coming soon!

MARANATHA, AND SHABBAT SHALOM!

THE SPIRITUAL ALLEGORY HIDDEN IN CHRIST’S RIDE UPON TWO DONKEYS

Click Image To Enlarge
The Scriptural subject of this important study can be found in the Book of Zechariah, Chapter 9. It can also be found in Matthew, Chapter 21, where Zechariah’s prophecy is mentioned in relation to Yahshua’s Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem in the week before He died on the Cross:

~*~ Zechariah 9:9 ~*~
“Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! 
Shout, Daughter Jerusalem
See, your king comes to you, 
righteous and victorious, 
lowly and riding on a donkey, 
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

~*~ Matthew 21:5 ~*~
“Tell the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

This Scripture makes it clear that our Messiah Yahshua rode not one, but two donkeys into Jerusalem, and deep thinkers may wonder why He chose to do so. For those who wish to dig deeper into God’s Word, there is a very interesting reason why Yahshua rode two donkeys that day, which is simple - yet profound. 

Due to the hidden message of the two donkeys, I find it irksome that none of the modern depictions of Yahshua riding into Jerusalem show this foal of a donkey that Yahshua rode along with its mother. Thankfully, some older depictions - like the one shown with this article - do show the foal trotting alongside its mother. This is not the same thing as riding upon it, however, and that is what Scripture suggests that Yahshua actually did. Whether or not the foal was ridden, however, its presence during the Triumphal Entry still has an allegorical spiritual significance. Let me explain:

First of all, the donkey and its foal represent beasts of burden. Since both donkeys must have supported Yahshua’s weight, my guess is that the foal was big enough to support part of Yahshua’s body without harm. It therefore could not have been as tiny as the foal depicted in the painting, but was most likely almost full grown. If not, perhaps the foal served as a footstool for Yahshua’s feet, just as the Earth is Almighty God’s footstool. 

Besides signifying the hard work that is involved in being a believer in Yahshua, these two donkeys signify the Two Houses of Israel. This understanding can also be seen represented in the heavens by the Mazzaroth sign of Cancer. As one of the 12 main signs in the Gospel in the Stars, Cancer has two bright stars on either side of the Beehive Star Cluster or “Praesepe”, meaning “manger”, which are located in the center of Cancer. 

In the following Star Gospel illustration taken from my book “The Language of God in Humanity,  the story of Samson in the Bible comes to life in the heavens. Not only does it include the close connection between the Zodiac signs of Cancer and Gemini as representations of the Two Houses of Israel, but it shows  how Samson, who was from the Tribe of Dan  - or “the serpent by the wayside” in Genesis 49:17 - acted as the defeater of the original Serpent or Satan in his victories over the Philistines, who are signified by modern Palestinian Radicals and all Terrorist organizations within the Muslim world.

Interestingly, in connection with Samson’s riddle, Yahshua or Jesus acted as a serpent (as seen in the constellation Hydra) when He died on the Cross for our sins. Although Yahshua was sinless, “He was wounded for our transgressions, and He was bruised for our iniquities” on the Cross (Isaiah 53:4-5). By doing so, the Lion of Judah (Leo) died so that mankind could receive the sweet honey of forgiveness, freedom from sin, and everlasting life that is the spiritual honey coming from the bees in the Beehive Cluster. In fact, our Salvation from sin in Christ is represented by both Cancer signifying the Two Houses of Israel as redeemed followers of Yahshua, and Gemini, which signifies the Two Houses taking part in the Wedding of the Lamb.

The two bright stars in Cancer on either side of “Praesepe” or the “manger” signify the two donkeys that Yahshua rode into Jerusalem, while the star manger signifies their spiritual food, which is Yahshua. This is why Yahshua rode the female donkey - which signifies the House of Judah or the Jews - and the foal of the donkey - which signifies the House of Ephraim or all Gentile believers - at the same time. Once this is understood, a lovely parable emerges from Yahshua’s act of riding these two donkeys into the city that is the spiritual epicenter of the world called Jerusalem, or the “City of Peace”. This parable and its interpretation can be seen in the following explanation:

Just as the Kings of Israel would ride upon a donkey as they entered Jerusalem, Yahshua entered Jerusalem riding on two donkeys to declare that He was the true King of both Houses of Israel on a spiritual level. Likewise, just as Yahshua did not want to separate the foal from its mother, He did not want there to be a separation between Jewish and Gentile believers. But unless Jews are born-again and have Yahshua sitting in authority over them like Gentile believers naturally do (and the donkeys physically did), they are like ships without a rudder and should not be looked to for spiritual understanding. This is because the Jewish understanding of the Old Testament Scriptures will remain superficial unless they accept Yahshua’s deity and the power of the Holy Spirit and become true Messianic believers. 

Once Jews become true Messianics, they become one in the Spirit with Christians and will see Yahshua and the gifts of the Spirit of God in the same way. So, even though we may choose to worship God differently, Yahshua will always direct our paths to be in sync and as one when it comes to following Him, just as He directed the paths of the donkeys He rode to be in sync with one another and with Him so that He could avoid falling off one or both donkeys, and no longer be in control of them.

What this means is that all believers need Yahshua to be their Master, and He needs to be in full control of their lives if they want to be in sync with Him! Likewise, if Yahshua is not sitting in authority over us and our lives, we will never be able to consistently flee from sin in order to please God, nor will we be able to worship Him in truth. So our goal should be to put and keep ourselves in submission to God our Father and His Son Yahshua at all times, and in all ways by utilizing the power of the Holy Spirit, which is ONLY given to those who desire to surrender their lives to God.

~*~  Our King Yahshua Is Coming Very Soon! ~*~ 
~*~  Hallelu-Yah! ~*~
