JOHN 13

13 Now before the feast of the Passover, when JESUS knew that His+ hour was come that HE+ should depart out of this world unto the FATHER, having loved His+ own which were in the world, HE+ loved them unto the end. ² And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray HIM+;

³ JESUS knowing that the FATHER had given all things into His+  hands, and that HE+ was come from GOD, and went to GOD;

⁴ HE+ riseth from supper, and laid aside His+ garments; and took a towel, and girded Himself+.

⁵ After that HE+ poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith HE+ was girded.

⁶ Then cometh HE+ to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto HIM+,

LORD, dost THOU+ wash my F E E T?

HIS+ TWO Triumphal Entries into JERUSALEM ! ~ Yes, there will be Another Triumphal Entry , and This Time, HE+ will need no donkey to ride .

 PALM  SUNDAY

 TRIUMPHAL ENTRANCE INTO JERUSALEM

 

PALM SUNDAY, Guest Post  ,2017,  by SAMSON7ABLE + , 

It is Passover.   Our Passover+ entered into Jerusalem with the crowds of pilgrims proclaiming HIM+ as the Son of David, ha Mashiach+.

 

At this time of the year, there would have been over two million Jews there at Jerusalem for Passover.  The city of Jerusalem could contain around 350,000, with the rest "camping out," as it were. Tents, booths, and temporary dwellings would have been spread out into the whole countryside around Jerusalem.

The crowds that  met Yeshua /Jesus coming to Jerusalem would have been massive. The amount of garments strewn in the way would have been tremendous.  The excited uproar was noted by everyone, officials included.

T

he crowd was rolling out the "Red-Carpet" for The Son of David!  All had heard that HE+ had just raised a man to life who had been dead four days. They were very excited.  This, they said, was the King of Israel, ha Mashiach+.

Prophecies were being fulfilled before their eyes, even as prophecies are being fulfilled before our eyes today.  The religious leaders did not like it! They complained and asked HIM+ to forbid HIS+ disciples from saying these things. HE+ answered them, " If these should go silent, then the stones would cry out !"

He+ then went and cleansed the Temple, driving out the servants of mammon and the defilers of HIS+ Father's House.  

H

E+ is going to do that again to those who have defiled the Temple of Living Stones and have hindered those little ones who want to enter into the Kingdom.

We are looking for HIS+ second Triumphal Entry, this time through the clouds, rending the heavens on HIS+ way to the Mount of Olives, which shall split down the middle before Jerusalem.

 

HE+ shall have cleansed HIS+ Temple of Living Stones and shall have them with HIM+ as HE+ rescues Jerusalem from those who seek to destroy it.   The cities of the nations will be flattened and the infrastructure of the nations will be destroyed and the arrogant armies of the nations will be wiped out.

M

ashiach+ is going to rule the nations with a Rod of Iron from the Millennial Temple of Ezekiel that HE+ will build in Jerusalem. There will be Peace over all of the earth. 

HE+ will enforce Peace with A Rod of Iron.

No one will hurt anyone, food will be plentiful, water will be clean once again, there will be no more lying politicians, and those left of the nations will be allowed to participate in this "Day of The LORD" . . . the 1,000 year long Day that begins with the First Resurrection of the Righteous and ends with the Second and final Resurrection of the rest of the dead.

The Second Triumphal Entry is on the way! Let us be prepared for it!  Hosannah to The Son of David! Blessed is HE+ Who comes in the Name of YHWH of Armies!   YHWH is a MAN+ of War!  Yes HE+ is! Watch and see!

Come Lord JESUS CHRIST, YESHUA ha MASHIACH+.  Take back the world from the hands of the evil one and his servants. Destroy every lie and Reign in Power and Great Glory!

Strengthen us , O LORD+, to Overcome as YOU+ overcame and to be with you forever. Amen.

HE+ was bruised for our iniquities:

the chastisement of our peace was upon HIM+;

and with His+  stripes we are healed.

And HE+ said unto them, 

How is it that ye sought ME+? 

Wist ye not that  

 I+ must be about My+ FATHER'S business?

# 12 PASCHAL FAST ~ JESUS WEPT ~# 12 Lenten Meditation, 2022 ~ John 11:35

 JESUS wept.

John 11:35

+  +  +

Who+ in the days of HIS+ flesh, when HE+ had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM that was able to save HIM+ from death, and was heard in that HE+ feared .  . . Hebrews 5:7

+  +  +

Once at the grave of Lazarus; once in the Garden of Gethsemane.

 

What made HIM+ cry ? 

DEATH.

#11 PASCHAL FAST ~ PERFECT through SUFFERINGS ~ Lenten Meditation # 11, 2022

For it became HIM, for WHOM are all things, and by WHOM are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory,

to make the CAPTAIN+ of their Salvation

PERFECT THROUGH SUFFERINGS.

Hebrews 2:10

+  +  +

Are we perfect ? NO. But our CAPTAIN+ is . . . and was . . . even in the days of His+ flesh.

HE+ was made PERFECT THROUGH SUFFERINGS.  Yes, “sufferingS”  is indeed plural.

All people suffer; the human heart knows its own sorrow, no matter of how someone’s life looks to others on the outside. 

ALL Suffering has the hidden blessing of perfecting us

in our walk with CHRIST JESUS.

# 10 PASCHAL FAST - TOUCHED with the Feeling of our INFIRMITIES ~ # 10 Lenten Meditation- 2022 ~ Hebrews 4:15

 

 And HE+ went a little farther,

AND FELL ON HIS+ FACE,

and prayed, saying,

O My+ FATHER, if it be possible, let this cup pass from ME+:

nevertheless not as I+ will, but as THOU wilt.

Matthew 26:39

+  +  +

YES, our dear LORD JESUS fell on His+ Face , crying and pleading for that cup – His+ Crucifixion -- to be passed away from HIM+.

⁷ Who+ in the days of His+ Flesh, when HE+ had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM WHO was able to save HIM+ from death, and was heard in that HE+ feared;

Hebrews 5: 7

+  +  +

The PROMISE is that we will not suffer death eternal but will live forever.

It is NOT PROMISED that we can escape all suffering living on planet earth, in this fallen, cursed-laden world.

But there is another PROMISE:

# 9 PASCHAL FAST ~ Strong Crying and Tears ~ Lenten Meditation # 9 ~ 2022 ~ Matthew 26:39

 

 

 Blowing the Shofar on Passover

³⁹ And HE+ went a little farther, and fell on His+ Face,

and prayed, saying,

O My+ FATHER,

if it be possible, let this cup pass from ME+:

nevertheless not as I+ will,

but as THOU wilt.

Matthew 26:39

+  +  +

Our LORD JESUS CHRIST knew at the sound of the Shofar on Passover morning that HE+ was going to be The Passover LAMB+ of GOD this time.  

This FINAL time, HE+ would become the Last and Final Passover Sacrifice that the earth would know.  HE+ would put to rest the need for all future Passover Lambs being slaughtered. HE+ was the last and great --- and SUFFICIENT --- Sacrifice for the human race.

FATHER, Glorify Thy Name ~ #8 PASCHAL FAST ~ #8 Lenten Meditation 2022 ~ John 12:28

 

#8 PASCHAL FAST ~

Lenten Meditation # 8, 2022

FATHER, GLORIFY THY NAME.

+  +  +

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

FATHER, GLORIFY THY NAME.

Then came there a voice from Heaven, saying,

I have both glorified it,

and will glorify it again.

John 12:27-28

+  +  +

This is the Divine Reason WHY The LORD JESUS came to His+ Hour. 

It was to GLORIFY His+ Heavenly FATHER.

This is the “cause” that we embrace as well: to GLORIFY our Heavenly FATHER.

We glorify HIM when we submit to HIS Will.

Never do we forget that we too learn OBEDIENCE through the things that we SUFFER .

For THIS CAUSE Came I+ unto THIS Hour ~ #7 PASCHAL FAST ~ #7 Lenten Meditation ~ John 12:27

 

  PASCHAL FAST ~

Lenten Meditation # 7, 2022

. . . but for THIS CAUSE came I+  unto this hour. 

John 12:27

+  +  +

Now is My+  Soul  troubled and what shall  I+   say? ‘FATHER, save ME+ from this hour ?’  but for this cause came  I+ unto this hour. 

+  +  +

When we are going through life’s HARD times of sorrow, of sickness, of struggles within and without, let us apply His+ Words to us:

 . . . For THIS CAUSE came I unto this hour.

For THIS REASON --- to endure the struggle, to experience this sickness, to walk that deep, dark valley of heart-ache --- The LORD has allowed THAT “CROSS” to enter into our life. .  . 

. .  . Our little life.   It means SO MUCH to HIM+.

And WHAT Shall I+ Say, 'FATHER, Save ME+ from This Hour ? ' ~ # 6 PASCHAL FAST - # 6 Lenten Meditation ~ John 12:27

“ . . .and what shall  I+  say?

‘FATHER, save ME+ from this hour ?’  . . .”

Now is My+ Soul Troubled . . . #5 PASCHAL FAST ~ #5 Lenten Meditation ~ John 12:27

 

 

Now is My+  Soul  troubled

and what shall  I+  say?

‘FATHER, save ME+ from this hour ?’

but for this cause came  I+   unto this hour. 

Did The FATHER Actually FORSAKE HIS Beloved, Obedient, Only-Begotten SON+ in the Hour of His+ Greatest, Darkest NEED ?

 

 

DID the FATHER FORSAKE HIS OBEDIENT SON+ ?

#4 PASCHAL FAST  

# 4 ~ Lenten Meditation -2022

 

ELOI ! ELOI ! Lama sabachthani ?

MY+ GOD, MY+ GOD,

why hast THOU forsaken ME+?

And at the ninth hour JESUS cried with a loud voice, saying, ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI? which is, being interpreted, MY GOD, MY GOD, why hast THOU forsaken ME+? Mark 15:34

 

SO IT SEEMED ! But it only "seemed" so.
