“This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I pray, O LORD; O LORD, I pray, send now 1prosperity. BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!” (Psa. 118:24-26) 1tsâlach: to advance, to make progress.
This was a prophecy of the revelation of the Christ WILL, the savior of the world, “Jesus said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied…Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘THE LORD HAS NEED OF IT,’ and immediately he will send it here.” So they went, and found the colt and loosed it…some there said to them, “What are you doing? And they spoke just as Jesus had commanded. So they LET THEM GO.” (Mark 11:2–6)
They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. “…many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then those who went before and followed cried out: “Hosanna! ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!’” (Mark 11:7-9) Zechariah spoke of this day, “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.” (Zech. 9:9) This day was April 6th, 32 A.D, 483 years after Daniel prophesied, “Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And TO ANOINT THE MOST HOLY.” (Dan. 9:24)
It was proclaimed about Jesus on that day WILL, “Blessed is the kingdom of our father David That comes in the name of the Lord! HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST!” (Mark 11:10) The phrase HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST appears only twice in the Bible, once in Matthew and again in Mark, during the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The people were crowded around the gate watching Jesus enter the city, and they were celebrating and calling out, “Hosanna to the Son of David!
