Palm Sunday. by Richieboyn: 7:59pm On Mar 23, 2013
PALM SUNDAY.

This is the Sunday that begins the 'HOLY WEEK' of the Church. The feast marks Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Palm Sunday is usually marked by the use of palm fronds(sometimes tied to the shape of a cross) together with 'Hosanna in the highest' chants by the congregation while the do a PUBLIC procession on the streets in a similar manner like 'Christ the King'.

BIBLICAL BASIS:
The symbolism is captured in Zechariah 9:9 "The Coming of Zion's King – See, your king
comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly
and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a
donkey".
According to the Gospels, Jesus rode a
donkey into Jerusalem, and the celebrating
people there lay down their cloaks in front of
him, and also lay down small branches of
trees. The people sang part of Psalm 118: 25– 26 – ... Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord ...
The symbolism of the donkey may refer to the
Eastern tradition that it is an animal of peace,
unlike the horse, which is the animal of war.
A king came riding upon a horse when he was bent on war and rode upon a donkey
when he wanted to point out he was coming
in peace. Jesus' entry to Jerusalem would thus
symbolize his entry as the Prince of Peace, not as a war-waging king.

So, go out tomorrow with the other members of your Church, proclaiming JESUS as the PRINCE of PEACE. Goodevening...

And I beheld another beast
coming up out of the earth; and he
had two horns like a lamb, and he
spake as a dragon. And he
exerciseth all the power of the first
beast before him, and causeth the
earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was
healed” (Revelation 13:11-12).
Looking around the political and
religious world in which we live, it
would seem that prophecy is
starting to speed up into overdrive.
Much speculation has been made
of signs and seasons that beckon
the possible soon return of our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. No
other prophecy is more central in
symbolism than the prophecy
concerning the False Prophet to
come that will support the “deity”
of the Antichrist.
Since I was a small child I have
heard of one religious institution
the Antichrist and/or the False
Prophet would come from. Not
withstanding that there a lot of
people that make this
denomination the home of their
worship, I do not intend to
denigrate their belief system, as
there are many good people who
follow this denomination and only
wish to follow God to the best of
their ability. But here are the facts.
What denomination am I speaking
of? You know, already. It is the
Roman Catholic Church who has
held sway over political and
religious power for nearly 1400
years, and only in recent history
has its power waned from it’s
“glory” days of full and complete
power over all of mankind,
including kings, princes, and every
economy on the face of the earth. I
have written many articles
concerning this “church” as they
believe to have been founded by
the apostle Peter, as the first pope.
I am reading and have yet to fully
finish the book by Tom Horn and
Cris Putman titled, Petrus
Romanus - The Final Pope Is Here.
I must encourage everyone who is
looking for the signs and seasons
of our Lord’s return to secure this
book. In it you will find the sullen
history of the popes and anti-
popes that were nothing short of
demon possessed and filled with
the lust of the flesh and desires of
earthly pleasure/power. Their
antics and affairs would make any
Christian’s hair stand on end. It’s
not an indictment per se, but its
history of the debauchery, the
blood letting -- the “church” falling
away from being the church that
Jesus spoke of in Matthew16.
“And I say also unto thee, that thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I will
build my church; and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against
it” (Matthew 16:18).
The church delivered to the
apostles started out on the right
foot but during the next few
hundred years that church ran
aground and instead of the church
of God, it became the church of
men seeking power. Of course as
any true Christian believer can
determine for his or her self by
doing a study of the “Rock” that
Jesus spoke of, He was speaking of
Himself, not Peter. Peter would go
onto to deny Him three times and
be asked also, three times if he
truly loved the Lord. But the
Roman Catholic Church holds to
the premise that Peter was the
first pope. Of course that is not the
focus of this message, as you can
find all the sordid details that I
learned in Bible College at an early
age in their book. This book only
re-enforced my recollection of
what I already knew. The Roman
Catholic Church has always been
about power, and very little about
the gospel to hold men in their
grips.
Saint Malachy’s Prophecy
A lot has been said, pondered, and
much titillation of the senses about
the coming of this “last pope” in a
vision by this 12th century Irish
Catholic priest by the name of St.
Malachy. You can read all you want
in any encyclopedia or even online
at Wikipedia to get the history of
the Catholic priest that has many
saying that his predictions were a
forgery by those who used his
name to promote, Cardinal
Girolamo Simoncelli’s bid for the
papacy in the second conclave of
1590, and that it was divinely
ordained. I am a little bewildered
how some of his late predictions of
modern history popes have a
smack of fulfilled prophecy. But I
am cautious to believe a long dead
priest, noting the forgeries and
shenanigans of the Roman Catholic
elite to further their nefarious
claim to power. But it is an
interesting tidbit of spice to add to
the smorgasbord of intrigue
related to the Roman Catholic
Church. But one thing I do note, if
there is a power struggle and
power to be had then you can bet
your bippy that the Roman Catholic
Church is involved. My friend,
count on it. It is their M.O. and
their sordid history.

@ELgordo so you believe just about any negative thing you read about the catholic church? don't be so childish!
And stop Misinterpreting the book of Revelations.
Re: Palm Sunday. by omaigala(m): 1:00pm On Mar 24, 2013
Only God (Jehova) knows which is true or false, what I've resolved to do now; is read the holy bible, interpret it as led. And most importantly, look for opportunities to help anybody, cos they are God's treasures, he values them more than any treasure on earth. If you can't help them, don't hurt them.
