Blessed is He, who comes in the Name of the Lord – HOSANNA
God is the Prophet. He prophesied through one of His prophets, Zechariah, five to seven centuries earlier. And since Yeshua is the One who says a thing and brings it to pass. What He prophesied through Zechariah 9:9, was later fulfilled on Palm Sunday. 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.
God said in the gospel of Mathew 11:29; I am meek and lowly in heart. Since Yeshua is lowly in heart, no wonder He hates the proud, which is why He said in Mathew 23:12; For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. God sees everything, there are those who study the Scriptures with their head, and therefore try to follow this attribute of Christ with their head, they try to exhibit meekness from their head, and not from their heart. For these people the Holy Spirit said in Colossians 2:18; Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.
The fulfilment of the prophecy in Zechariah came to pass on Palm Sunday in Mark 11:1-11; As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’” They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
When those singing Hosanna were being rebuked by those who exalts themselves, Yeshua reminded them of what He, the Holy Spirit said through King David, a millennium earlier. We have the account in Mathew 21:15-16; But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?” Yeshua was quoting from Psalm 8:2; Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. Yeshua is indeed meek and lowly of heart, so much so that when He came to execute the most important task since before Creation, which is Salvation, He didn’t come with His Hosts, Mighty Angels, Heavenly Army primed for battle, instead with the stronghold of praise from the mouth of children and infants singing HOSANNA, HOSANNA, HOSANNA to the King of Kings.
