"Hosannah in the highest"

 
Hello, John and Doves,
 
Jesus does not idly say stuff.
 

Luke 13:35

" 'Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.' "

 
Seeing that today's date, as I write this, is Monday, February 6, 2012--13 Shevat 5772, we are in the Spring of the year.
 
Jesus said, " 'Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.' "
 
On what day, long ago, did the Jewish people shout loud hosannahs unto the LORD?  Wasn't the date 10 Nisan 3793?  What was that date?  At twilight, on Sunday, 29 March, 33 AD, when the date had changed to 10 Nisan, Jesus approached Jerusalem.  He came to Bethpage [House of figs], on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives.  From there, He dispatched two disciples into the village to get a donkey and its colt.
 
Some depictions of the Savior show Him straddling both as He enters Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate--where the sun rises.  [2 Peter 1:19]
 
Well, the night began with the selection of the lamb.  http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Exd&c=12&v=1&t=KJV#1  The 10th of Nisan was the day of selection.  Perhaps the AC will reveal himself to the world on this date in 5772.  If so, it will be for the second time [the first being on October 29, 2008].  We don't have to be there.  We could be gone at evening, on Sunday, April 1, 2012, as the Jewish date changes to 10 Nisan 5772.  But no one knows the day nor the hour.
 
Baruch HaShem Adonai Roi,
