John
12:12-14 KJV On the next day much people that were come to
the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to
Jerusalem, (13) Took branches of palm trees, and
went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna (hoshia (save us)-na (now I
Beseech thee)): Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name
of the Lord. (14) And Jesus, when he had found a
young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
Mark 11:7-10 KJV And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast
their garments on him; and he sat upon him. (8) And
many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off
the trees, and strawed them in the way. (9) And
they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna;
(hoshia (save us)-na (now I Beseech thee)) Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of the Lord: (10) Blessed be the kingdom
of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in
the highest.
Revelation 7:9-10 KJV After this I beheld, and, lo, a great
multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and
people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
(10) And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our
God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
“HOSANNA” means “SAVE US, WE BESEECH
THEE”
Psalms
118:25-26 KJV Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I
beseech thee, send now prosperity. (26) Blessed be
he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the
house of the LORD.
The Jews actually knew that David’s Son would reign in a
Kingdom that would supply all their needs.
- When they cried HELP US, or
SAVE US, or HOSANNA, they only did so to a king.
2
Samuel 14:4 KJV And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the
king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said,
Help (hoshia), O king. (First part of HOSANNA)
2 Kings 6:26 KJV And as the king of Israel was passing by
upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help (hoshia), my
lord, O king. (First part of HOSANNA)
They attribute the CROWN to the one Whom they believe is KING, and
crown Him with a petition that He would give them all the blessings and
prosperity they need.
The Apostles knew the KINGDOM was THE CHURCH IN THEIR DAY:
Isaiah
49:3 KJV And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in
whom I will be glorified.
Israel was the servant being spoken of here.
Isaiah
49:6 KJV And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest
be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the
preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles,
that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Acts 13:46-48 KJV Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and
said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been
spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves
unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
(47) For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set
thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
salvation unto the ends of the earth. (48) And when
the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the
Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
The GENTILES were foretold to come to the LIGHT OF ISRAEL.
- Jesus was BORN IN ISRAEL and
was the LIGHT OF THE NATIONS – Gentiles.
And look what else Isaiah 49 said:
Isaiah
49:7-10 KJV Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and
his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation
abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes
also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy
One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. (8) Thus
saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day
of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give
thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to
inherit the desolate heritages; (9) That thou
mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness,
Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall
be in all high places. (10) They shall not hunger
nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath
mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he
guide them.
After Revelation 7 shows the PASSOVER entrance of Jesus as KING OF
JERUSALEM riding the donkey, we read these words taken from Isaiah 49
concerning GENTILES (the chapter the apostles claimed was fulfilled in
their day)…
Revelation
7:16-17 KJV They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any
more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
(17) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall
feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Isaiah 49 said HE THAT HATH MERCY ON THEM shall lead them, while
Revelation says THE LAMB IN THE MIDST OF THE THRONE shall lead them.
Recall that the SON OF DAVID who would be KING on DAVID’S
THRONE had the SURE MERCIES OF DAVID on Himself.
Acts
13:34 KJV And as concerning that he raised him up from the
dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will
give you the sure mercies of David.
These sure mercies were ultimately found in JESUS’
RESURRECTION!
- So not only does Revelation
7 point to JESUS AS SON OF DAVID since the people said
HOSANNA/SALVATION (a cry only given to the KING as SON OF DAVID), like
the Jews gave it to Him the day they rejected Him, but also…
- THE MERCY that Isaiah said
the Lord has to lead them to waters indicates SON OF DAVID’S
POWER AS KING (sure mercies of DAVID), while Rev 7 calls Him the LAMB
IN THE MIDST OF THE THRONE!
IT ALL POINTS TO JESUS ON THE THRONE OF DAVID!
Look what else Isaiah 49 says:
Isaiah
49:20-23 KJV The children which thou shalt have, after thou
hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too
strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
(21) Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me
these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and
removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left
alone; these, where had they been? (22) Thus saith
the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set
up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their
arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their
shoulders. (23) And kings shall be thy nursing
fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to
thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy
feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be
ashamed that wait for me.
THESE ARE THE GENTILES COMING INTO THE CHURCH, after He seemingly LOST
MANY OTHER CHILDREN.
- Who are these NEW children?
- THE GENTILES COMING IN!
- Whom did He lose?
- The majority of Jews who
rejected Him!
THIS IS THAT KINGDOM.
Imagine realizing that we HAVE RIGHT NOW the Kingdom we thought would
not come until after the rapture!
- Right now we are the kings
and priests and the Gentiles RIGHT NOW are coming to the LIGHT and
walking in that LIGHT.
- See if you can have eyes to
see and realize the KINGDOM RIGHT NOW that others have told you is not
yet come until a millennium.
This kingdom’s most characteristic POWER is POWER OVER DEATH.
1
Corinthians 15:25-26 KJV (25) For he must reign,
till he hath put all enemies under his feet. (26)
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Psalms 110:1-2 KJV A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my
Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy
footstool. (2) The LORD shall send the rod of thy
strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Power over death is ultimate power!
RESURRECTION POWER.
To cleanse a person from death, the high priest had a red heifer
sacrificed, and burned and ashes in water sprinkled on a person.
Numbers
19:2 KJV This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath
commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring
thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which
never came yoke:
Numbers 19:4-6 KJV And Eleazar the priest shall take of her
blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the
tabernacle of the congregation seven times: (5) And
one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and
her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: (6) And
the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it
into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Numbers 19:9 KJV And a man that is clean shall gather up the
ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place,
and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for
a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
Numbers
19:13 KJV Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is
dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD;
and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of
separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his
uncleanness is yet upon him.
RED means LIFE.
- The MOST intensive LIFE is
RED.
- A virgin female cow is a
HEIFER.
- FEMALES BRING FORTH LIFE.
- No yoke ever came on it
– indicating no weakness where energy taken.
- No blemish, no weakness
– uninjured.
- AN ANTIDOTE FOR DEATH!
- BURNED since FIRE purges
anything – gold becomes more concentrated GOLD by fire.
- So LIFE is even more
concentrated by FIRE.
- SPRINKLE seven TIMES
– perfect application.
- CEDAR thrown in fire with
it… cedar evergreens… LIFE THAT DOES NOT STOP.
- HYSSOP –
purification from death.
- SCARLET WOOL – RED
COLOR again
- “as the
quintessence of all that purified and strengthened life, refined and
sublimated by the fire”
All this was applied to a person who JUST TOUCHED death for a moment.
- Death was that powerful!
- But JESUS had far more life
than all of that!
Anyone who touched death unclean for seven days and all in the house
where dead lay is also unclean.
- Jesus walks into
Jairus’ house where daughter lay dead, and TOUCHES HER and
she comes to life.
- It not only could not affect
Him to make him unclean, but it could not stay in the girl and she
resurrected!
- And none of the people in
the house are considered UNCLEAN!
Jesus takes all that powerful death and lets it do it worst to Himself,
and is killed.
Just before he died, he said IT IS FINISHED!
- And three days later He
resurrected from that death!
- He preached for forty days
of the KINGDOM as though to throw it in the face of the devil!
- HE IS ALIVE!
He is not only alive but is preaching about the KINGDOM.
Acts
1:3 KJV To whom also he shewed himself alive after his
passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and
speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
The whole point of preaching for that amount of time was to SHOW
HIMSELF ALIVE!
- He had THAT MUCH victory
over death!
- He proved it for forty solid
days!
- Not only did he STAY ALIVE
ON EARTH that long, but He provided MANY INFALLIBLE PROOFS!
And He put it in the devil's defeated face by PREACHING KINGDOM!
Talk about ruling in the midst of your enemies!
NO WONDER HE SAID IT IS FINISHED!
Hebrews
10:10-14 KJV By the which will we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
(11) And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering
oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away
sins: (12) But this man, after he had offered one
sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of
God; (13) From henceforth expecting till his
enemies be made his footstool. (14) For by one
offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
John 19:30 KJV When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar,
he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
