Jesus Enters Jerusalem (1928-40)

• Jesus deliberately fulfilled messianic
  prophecies. (p86t)
• Zechariah 99 Everyone in Jerusalem,
  celebrate and shout! Your king has won a victory,
  and he is coming to you. He is humble and rides
  on a donkey he comes on the colt of a donkey.
• Jesus not only accepted the homage paid to
  Him as the Messiah, but He insisted that it was
  legitimate. (v40)
• The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, which
  took place on Sunday before the Crucifixion, was
  an enacted parable, a dramatic way in which Jesus
  proclaimed His messiahship. This fulfilled in
  minute detail the prophecy of Zech. 99.

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem (1941-44)

• Jesus knew that the acclaim of the populace
  would be short-lived. They were blind to the true
  nature of His kingdom and would reject Him. As a
  result, Jerusalem would be destroyed, a prophecy
  that came to pass in A.D.70.

12
Jesus Cleanses the Temple (1945-48)

• The money changers and other merchants were
  fraudulent in the transactions. Jesus fulfills
  the prophecy of Mal 31-3 by another anacted
  parable, this one demonstrating His messianic
  authority with respect to the fraudulent and the
  commercialisation of the sacrificial system.

13
Jesus uses OT scriptures (1945-48)

• Malachi 31-3
• 1 I, the LORD All-Powerful, will send my
  messenger to prepare the way for me. Then
  suddenly the Lord you are looking for will appear
  in his temple.The messenger you desire is coming
  with my promise, and he is on his way.
• 2On the day the Lord comes, he will be
  like a furnace that purifies silver or like
  strong soap in a washbasin. No one will be able
  to stand up to him. 3The LORD will purify the
  descendants of Levi, as though they were gold or
  silver. Then they will bring the proper offerings
  to the LORD,
• Isaiah 567
• I will bring them to my holy mountain,
  where they will celebrate in my house of worship.
  Their sacrifices and offerings will always be
  welcome on my altar. Then my house will be known
  as a house of worship for all nations.
• Jeremiah 711
• You are thieves, and you have made my
  temple your hideout. But I've seen everything you
  have done.
