The promise kept.
People came to Jerusalem a week before Passover to get ready for Passover. On the Sunday before Passover was the day they selected the lamb for sacrifice. On this day 2000 years ago God was saying here is my Lamb,His Son Jesus to be the unblemished lamb.
The lamb was killed to cover up theirs sins because God is Holy and can't be around sin. With Jesus Gods Lamb it was not to cover up the sin but to wash it away! With all them that believed in Gods Lamb Jesus.
19:28 And when he had said this, he went on in front of them, going up to Jerusalem.
19:29 And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
19:30 Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.
19:31 And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.
19:32 And those whom he sent went away, and it was as he said.
19:33 And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?
19:34 And they said, The Lord has need of him.
19:35 And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him.
19:36 And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him.
19:37 And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;
19:42 Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them.
19:43 For the time will come when your attackers will put a wall round you, and come all round you and keep you in on every side,
19:44 And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.
