Yeshua's entrance into Jerusalem on the donkey as King of the Jews
(Joh 12:1) Then Jesus
six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had
been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
(Joh 12:2) There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was
one of them that sat at the table with him.
Remember that the feast of Unleavened bread begins on the 15th day of month 1. But the feast are to begin with Passover (pesach) on the evening of the 14th day (an exception). Six days before that are therefor DAY 9 (15 – 6)
(Joh 12:12) On the next day much people that
were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
(Joh 12:13) Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and
cried, Hosanna:
Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
(Joh 12:14) And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is
written,
(Joh 12:15) Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold,
thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
The "next" day (Joh 12:12) must therefor be Day 10.
Note: As shown before, during the feast of Pesach, the lamb is
chosen on day 10 of the first month.
Therefore – Yeshua is the perfect Lamb.
Yeshua was completely obedient to his Father, up to his death. He would surely have followed his Father's calendar. Yeshua did also say that he does nothing in his own.
(Joh 5:19) Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you,
The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
(Joh 7:16) Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his
that sent me.
(Joh 7:17) If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
(Joh 14:9) Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet
hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
(Joh 14:10) Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in
me?
the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
(Joh 14:28) Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again
unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father:
for my Father is greater than I.
(Joh 18:37) Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus
answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.
To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
From early childhood, Yeshua and his family followed the tradition to go to Jerusalem for the Pesach and the feast of Unleavened bread.
(Luk 2:40) And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with
wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
(Luk 2:41) Now his parents went to
Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
(Luk 2:42) And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after
the custom of the feast.
