@@twitherspoon8954 Isaiah 7. This chapter sets out from the beginning of the year at the spring equinox. Ahaz, the Sun's ecliptic, is the king of Judah, or the first four months of the year. Rezin (delight) is also king of Judah. Pekah (open-eyed = summer solstice) is king of Israel, or the four months, July, August, September, October. He is the son of Remaliah (the Sun adorns = the flowers of spring), because he follows spring. These Rezin and Pekah) went toward Jerusalem (summer solstice), but didn't take it, because they didn't get there, a very good reason, certainly! However, David (the Sun), on being told that Syria (spring) and Ephraim (fruits = autumn) were confederate against him, was badly scared, for his heart moved as the trees before the wind. The signs of the zodiac were so many trees, which moved as the Sun moved, but in an opposite direction. The Lord (Jahveh) told Isaiah (savior-Sun) to go forth (from the spring equinox) with his son, Shear-jashub (returning-remnant = Libra and Scorpio, two of Israel's children yet above the horizon at sunrise) to meet Ahaz at the upper pool (the former rain, which came on when the Sun entered Scorpio) and tell him not to fear for, or because of, the two tails (ends) of these smoking firebrands (the two warm seasons). No matter if they (Syria and the son of Remaliah = Pekah) did take evil counsel against thee and try to set up a king in the midst of Judah - even the son (Scorpio) of Tabeal (the good Ram). For the Lord-God (Jehovah-Adoni = Sun at the fall equinox) saith it shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass. For the head (beginning) of Syria (spring) is Damascus (the East), and the head of Damascus is Rezin (delight), i.e., spring begins at the eastern equinox, and the season is one of delight. But yet it (Ephraim) within 65 years (days) shall be broken "from a people" (marginal reading), i.e., the season will be over half gone. Again: The head of Ephraim (spring) is Samaria (winter), and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son = Pekah (summer), taken retrospectively. If you don't believe, it's your own fault (v. 9). Ahaz, having given no heed to what Isaiah had said, the Lord (Jahveh) spake again unto Ahaz, saying: Ask thee a sign (constellation) either in the depths (winter) or in the heights above (summer)." But Ahaz would not tempt the Lord (Jahveh)! So, the Lord (Adoni) gave the proffered sign: "Behold, a virgin (Virgo) shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel " (the Ram is with us, - Aries comes to his meridian as the new year's Sun is born at the winter solstice. Thence the two journeys together toward the north, meeting at the spring equinox = Sun in Aries). "Butter and honey, shall he eat that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good; for before the child shall know to refuse the evil (winter) and choose the good (summer), the land (winter) that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings (vv. 15, 16), i.e., the winter will end. D'besh, here translated "honey," means a collection = the winter stores. "Libations of honey," says Faber, "were wont to be poured out to the infernal gods" (Pag. Idol., vol. iii, p. 220). Honey was, therefore, a symbol of winter. This may be inferred from the frequent phrase - "a land flowing with milk and honey," i.e., the productive land = summer, since winter is unproductive. Jupiter, let us remember, was fed during his infancy, with goat's milk (Capricorn) and honey. "The Lord shall bring upon the people days that have not come” (v. 17). Wonderful! that day should follow day. "It shall come to pass in that day when (not 'that,' as supplied by the translators,) the Lord (Jahveh) shall hiss for the fly (hunt bees) that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria (spring). After this they will come into desolate vallies," etc., i.e., winter will begin. Then, in that same day, shall the Lord (Adoni) shave with a razor that is hired of the Assyrians (the frosts of winter); then shall a man (the Earth) nourish a heifer (the Moon, - see Faber, vol. 3 p. 220,) and two sheep (the second sheep = Aries setting). Then, too, everyone, i.e., the people, shall eat butter and honey, i.e., of their winter stores (vv. 18-22). Then shall the land, which abounded with plenty (summer), be covered with briars and thorns (winter), and men will resort to the bow and arrow for food (vv. 23, 24). "On all the hills that shall be digged in the spring thorns and briars need not be feared, for oxen shall be produced” (Taurus of spring), and the season will yield its usual crop.

Uh...Jesus was a 33 man. He would have looked stupid af riding on a small donkey, and the colt probably wouldn't be able to hold jesus up. This is just a funny translation error that Christians can't accept, so they make crazy jumping through hoops reasons to make it fit lol

I’m kind of confused. In Zechariah 9:9 … the first “ass” or donkey is a male and the second “ass” is a female who is young. In this video Jesus is riding the young female donkey …. My question to you is, can a baby donkey be considered a mother? And how can that baby donkey be a colt when the word to describe that donkey is a feminine noun? I’m lost. Forgive me.

@@chemosh9565 ...because......there are numerous websites instructing on how train young riding donkeys...they all instruct even a ride of 1.5 to 2 miles bearing an adult -would be cruel to a small equine unused and unconditioned to such a task...so the mother was ridden first

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Matthew contradicts the Hebrew of Zech 9:9 and the other gospels. Now whether he rode two donkeys at once is not really the issue but skeptics say this because that is how it reads: "Look, your king is coming to you, unassuming and seated on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεύς σου ἔρχεται σοι πραῢς καὶ ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἐπὶ ὄνον καὶ ἐπὶ πῶλον υἱὸν ὑποζυγίου. Matthew does not tell us HOW Jesus rode them. Now the charitable reading is assuming that Jesus dismounted and then got on the other animal. Either way there are two animals here being ridden to fulfill Zech. not one like the Hebrew of Zech. tells you nor like the other gospels. Deal with the facts!

Provide evidence for your claims.

Wouldn't you think if a baby was recognized as God at birth, and met dignitaries, and this God was walking around town for thirty years, performing 36 miracles and raising the dead, and was publicly executed and then his body disappeared from a secure tomb, and then the graves opened and the corpses rose out and walked into town, and the sun went dark for three hours, that someone at the time would have noticed and memorialized it in some way? Yup and the Gospels fit that bill pretty good. In the entire first century Jesus is not mentioned by a single historian, religion scholar, politician, philosopher, or poet. His name never occurs in a single inscription, carving, sculpture or monument, and it is never found in a single piece of private correspondence or official record. The Gospels do. Furthermore, this is just a textbook example of an argument from silence. Requiring proof of a negative is a fundamental fallacy of logic. There are no square circles There are no vegan carnivores There are no one ended sticks Abraham Lincoln is no longer alive. Fundamental fallacy of logic you say? Are you sure bro?

Man the problem here And why scholars say he is quoting the passage is because Of the contradiction and Mathew changed the verse in mark since it well established Mathew copied from mark gospel Matthew says that a donkey (adult) and a foal (baby donkey) were the animals (“s” for plural) that Jesus sat upon, while Mark, Luke, and John all affirm that one donkey was used for the Triumphal Entry. So Mathew specifically changed this verse and a lot of scholars say it fulfill that prophecy because there no reason why Mathew Would change it That what you are missing and ignoring So scholars say it because Mathew wanted to fulfill the prophecy that why and misunderstood the verse

Happy Palm Sunday!

Well the artists were being honest while the skeptics are being obtuse.

Yes, they may have been led side-by-side and sat on the colt and draped his arm and weight on the mother.

How is this not just as absurd? Why would he be riding a donkey in such a ridiculous manner?

@@nothingbutthetruth613 Because he was riding a colt who was not accustomed to being ridden. The mother would have calmed the colt and supported the weight the colt was not used to carrying. Alternatively, he may have traded animals due to the colt getting jaded.

@@l.quranhubbard5275 But don't you see that both these explanations are just as absurd? Why wouldn't he just ride one donkey that could handle it? Can you picture the scene?

Why wouldn't he just bring one donkey that could handle it? I'm not saying you or this video are wrong but I'm asking what is the probable explanation here? Do you really think it happened according to these odd scenarios you describe or is it truly that Mathew has tried to make it fit no matter how crazy it sounds?

@@nothingbutthetruth613 He rode the colt to fulfill prophesy. That is all that was necessary for Mark and Luke to report. However, Matthew added more that he recalled from his memory of the event. It is about about the image that God wanted to project. An earthly ruler would have ridden in on the strongest specimen of horse he could muster. Or perhaps on a chariot drawn by fine horses. Jesus, rode on a lowly colt that could barely support his weight. It showed his humbleness. No, it isn't normal. A king would extol his regal presence. Really, it seems like you are begging for an excuse to dismiss it.

The two asses are still in the Cancer constellation.

Of course but that contradicts the other gospels. And it mistranslated Zech in the Hebrew by reading the LXX and seeing two donkeys not one.

How is it common sense! Read how Matthew quotes Zech, Here I'll do it for you: “Tell the people of Zion, ‘Look, your king is coming to you, unassuming and seated on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” It says he will be coming to Zion seated on a Donkey AND on a colt. Why do you think Jesus asked for two animals and said he has NEED of THEM? Why were cloaks put on both animals? Come on it's common sense - in order to fulfill the prophecy.

They are the same stars in the Cancer constellation. The writer is pointing to the Summer Solstice in Cancer (Age of Aries the Ram known as El). The "death" of Moses (Aquarius) marked the precession of the equinoxes from the Taurus to Aries. This is where Joshua/Jesus takes over. Aaron, the brother of Moses, was also called Cohen Aldebaran. Aldebaran is a royal star and is opposite Antares in Scorpio.

What?

Im no biblical expert but ive always thought that the disciples asked 2 questions in response to Jesus saying no stone would be standing on another. WHEN will THIS happen, and what will be the sign of your coming. Mark 13:4,28 [4]"Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?" he goes on to answer both questions. I believe Mark 13 1-23 is the answer to the first question. The destruction of the temple. what will happen, and indeed did happen. Mark 13 24-37 is the answer to the second question. Mark 13:28 [28]"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. this is the sign. After the temple, including the nation of Israel, is destroyed, it would have to regrow, be rebuilt...put forth leaves again)). Once that starts, the end is near. The antichrist will again sit in the temple proclaiming himself to be God.

The Temple is a symbol of Light over Darkness (six days/months in Genesis one). The "destruction" of the Temple is the end of this season and entry to Darkness over Light (six nights/months in Genesis one). The "let there be light" denotes from Darkness to light, aka the beginning of the new year/world at the spring equinox.

It's a good topic. Considering that the NT contemporanies were also well versed Jews, they knew what it was meant in 7 verse 14, so modern language critics often say that it isn't what it means there, and discredit actual contemporany hebrew speakers and claim it was a mistranslation... When it had native jews involved.

WHY DO YOU WESTERNERS, EASTERNERS WHITEWASH THE ENTIRE BIBLE AND MAKE EVERYBODY WHITE. THE BIBLICAL HEBREWS AND EGYPTIANS WERE BLACK PEOPLE. v

According to British historian, James Morgan Wellington III of Oxford University the common usage of the clothing items has pagan orgins. Wellington has been studying this connection, something he coined "sockology," since the early 1990s. He is most well-known for documenting the ancient origins of socks and their pagan association. Though it is a topic of little recent interest, the relationship has been noted in several ancient texts and seems to have been well understood by the Babylonians and Romans. The first usage of socks comes from the 3rd millennium BCE from a Babylonian priest during the reign of Sargon of Akkad named Harbishihu of Sumer he describes the making of socks involving the blood of infants as dye. The second usage comes from the Greek poet Hesiod, in the 8th century BC, the Ancient Greeks wore socks called "piloi", which were made from matted animal hair. The earliest known surviving pair of knitted socks, made with a technique called naalbinding, dates from 300 - 500 AD and was found at Oxyrhynchus on the Nile in Egypt. Oxyrhynchus was the sight of many pagan temples such as the temple of Zeus, Isis, Seraphis and Osiris. The socks feature split toes and are designed to be worn with sandals. Critics of Wellington have cited poor history and questionable methodology when dismissing his results, going so far as to call Sockology "nonsensical"( Crane 2007), "Pseudohistory" (Walker, 2010), and "quite possibly made up" (Johnson, 2008). Despite these criticisms, there does appear to be a strong correlation between socks and paganism, with Dr. Wellington documenting numerous historical references of pagan rituals involving socks leading to the conclusion that socks have pagan orgins and have been used in pagan rituals and rites throughout human history and are indeed "clothing of the most heinous origins" (Wellington 2006).

Since Israel rejected God’s law (Ezekiel 20:8, 20:13, 20:16), God allowed them to live under the law of other nations - laws that were not good and judgments by which they could not live. Israel served and gave honour to the pagan idols in the most unclean and terrible ways, ultimately including child sacrifice

@@thatsriiiiight4170 but doesn’t God say he told them to sacrifice their children as punishment?

@@joshuadunford3171 Nope, and that would contradict the verses before and after this condemning child sacrifice.

@@joshuadunford3171 God didn't tell them to do that. This passage you quote is similar to Romans 1 in the sence that it is conveying similar information - God giving people the or desires which came about from them rejecting and not wanting to uphold his statues. In the passage God says he does this so Israel will know he is the Lord where this is made clearer later in the chapter "And there you shall remember your ways and all your deeds with which you have defiled yourselves, and you shall loathe yourselves for all the evils that you have committed. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel, declares the Lord God.” Ezekiel 20:43‭-‬45 Here it shows that God gave them up to such desires amd essentially let them be in order to attack their conscience and bring about repentance and show how disguising it is when they don't wish to follow God's statutes. As as said, resd Romans 1 as the same thing is essentially being said in regards to God giving people bad laws.

@@Nov_Net ok thanks this helps, but are there any scholars who back you up on this?

The two donkeys are in the Cancer constellation, just like Issachar.

@@enos4571 that's how I started

@Excuse me but There is such a thing because they aren't estimates they are direct translations of manuscripts which were direct translations of what the people close to God wrote, it's why the Rosetta Stone was so important, it had translations from an unknown language

Try the works of the Englishman the Reverend Robert Taylor.

@@harveywabbit9541 the first thing I read about him is calling the worship of Jesus paganism, if I knew him IRL I would have beat him to death 💀

The two donkeys are stars in the Cancer constellation. The northern ass (white) is 158 light years from Earth and the southern ass (orange hued) is 136 light years from Earth. In astrology, which is not a science, Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac and represents those born between June 20 and July 22. It is considered a water sign and is one of the four cardinal signs, which are signs that indicate a change of season when the sun makes its annual passage into them.

@@twitherspoon8954 Basically all serious scholarship on the era acknowledges that Jesus existed. There’s as much or more evidence for it as any similar, contemporary historical figure.

Are you really this dumb or just completely dishonest?

I made it up? Here, let me google that for you. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity

@@InspiringPhilosophy I have never heard of any critical biblical scholar invoke the principle of “charity”. And I’ll take your response to mean that what I was presuming regarding your argument is correct, Jesus’ little toe simply needs to touch the cloak of the foal and you intellectually roll over.

@Excuse me but By this standard the NT becomes unfalsifiable, which tells me the use of such a principle (if I grant its even used in biblical scholarship) is inappropriate.

@@Actuary1776 No; it's just that you WANT the "NT" to BE "false" (and CONSIDERED "false" by EVERYONE). Unfortunately for you, the Principle of Charity is UTTERLY reasonable; and, we WILL use it (and, MANY OTHER tools) to SHOOT-DOWN your PATHETIC attacks (like the nitpicking/splitting-of-hairs that is THIS one) upon Christianity. 😏😉😜

@@johnharrison6745 No I don’t want the NT to be false, I just don’t want to lie to myself to make it true.

Biblical cursing in the winter season of hardship and empty belly. Biblical blessing is the crops produced during the summer season.

What?

@@gospel2dgeek There is also the Lion, Virgin, Reed, and Scorpion in Isaiah 9.14-15. Two are above and two are below. Scorpio is called Satan, father of lies. Royal/Noble refers to Leo and the Palm frond/branch = Virgo.

The Messiah has never been anything more than the spring Sun which brings resurrection of the Earth through new plant growth.

@@harveywabbit9541 Really?? I just quoted for you Zachariah 9:10. You need to read the prophets a little more. Read Isaiah 11 and how the ingathering of the exiles, world peace, universal knowledge of God and the rebuilding of the temple are clearly spelled out. This is not a debatable subject. Btw of all the clear prophecies spelled out over and over in almost all the prophets, jesus has fulfilled a whopping zero of any of them. I wonder why

@@nothingbutthetruth613 The preceding chapter 10, left us in winter. Here the rod (shoot, or new year Sun) is to start from the stump of Jesse (the existing Sun, the Sun at his farthest south declination). Hence the spirit of the Lord (Jahveh) shall rest upon him (Jesse), the summer solstice being exactly opposite. "He shall not judge after the sight of his eyes," but he will judge the poor (winter) with righteousness (summer), and that righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins (the crops - the Sun gets to the loins of the man in the almanac, about harvest time), i.e., all will be rewarded according to their labor (v. 5). But he will smite the Earth with the rod of his mouth, slaying the wicked with his breath (v. 4). This brings us around to winter. We now encounter a series of prophesies the most astounding in the Bible, i.e., taken literally, as usually taught by our clergy. That contained in vv. 6, 7 of this chapter, in relation to certain animals of the most discordant dispositions and natures - the wild, the savage and the ferocious, as the wolf, the leopard and the lion, against the gentle, the mild and the peaceful, as the lamb, the kid and the calf - the carnivorous against the herbivorous, is the one usually harped upon with a gusto really sickening to the intelligent. Little children, too, mingle with them without danger. Now the idea that all these animals of the most opposite natures should lie down in peace together - the carnivorous all at once becoming tame, gentle and straw-eating as the ox, is the most preposterous that could enter the brain of infatuated man. The thing is utterly impossible, and demonstrates but too well the frightful extent to which the fraudulent are willing to degrade the industrious in order to live off of them. Literally true the account cannot be. How, then, shall it be understood? The constellation Lupus (the wolf) rises as a paranatellon of Scorpio, i.e., the two rise together. At sunrise, then, the Sun entering Scorpio, the wolf (Lupus) and the lamb (Aries) "dwell together" just below the horizon, but opposite each other. Thus, the time was at the beginning of winter. The calf (Taurus) and the kid in Auriga and the fatling, an indefinite idea, which may apply to any small fat animal, as Noah’s dove (Columba), and the young lion (Leo) and the leopard all lie down together in the winter hemisphere, where they are led by " a little child " (Ganymede, Moses, Jesus, or the new year's Sun). At the coming of spring, the cow (Taurus) and the bear (Ursa major) are "green together" and " their young ones shall lie down together " - copulate. Who knows but by a misconstruction of the Hebrew text, one of the greatest miracles (the gendering of the cow with the bear) has been overlooked? Will not some of our worthy clergy look to this at once? Josephus tells us that at one time at the Passover feast (the time here spoken of) "a heifer, about to be sacrificed by the high priest, brought forth a lamb" (Wars, v 6.5). Why not produce a bear-cub as well? Herodotus also informs us that in the time of Xerxes, "a mare brought forth a hare!" (B. 7.57). But "the lion shall eat straw like the ox." The lion" typifies the Sun in winter, which, by metonomy, eats straw like the ox. "The sucking child " (the Sun between the winter solstice and spring equinox, which equals the time Moses' mother nursed him) shall play on the hole of the asp (the last half of winter); "the weaned child " (the Sun during summer) shall stretch his hand over the cockatrice's den (mearoth tsiphon = enlightened north = summer, which is opposite to or over winter = cockatrice's den). " They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain " = summer. No; for the period of destruction (winter) is past; the time of renovation and reparation has come; hence the earth shall be full of knowledge of the Lord (Jahveh = summer), as the waters cover the sea, i.e., the crops of summer. "And in that day," the crops being matured at the equinoctial day of autumn, there shall be a root (not a branch, as in spring) of Jesse (Sun in winter), which shall be a sign to the people that the Lord (Adoni = winter Sun) will " set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people (Libra and Scorpio). At the fall equinox the Sun first enters Libra and afterward Scorpio, two constellations of Israel or summer, which remain below the equator at the time named above, and so recovers the remnant of his people from Egypt or winter. These same constellations coming in conjunction with the Earth, as in spring, the Lord (Jahveh) forsakes them and delivers them over to their enemies.

FYI "The burden of the desert of the sea "= Babylon = winter. It (winter) comes from a desert land - a terrible land. This treacherous dealer and spoiler comes every year as all know, when Isaiah's (the Sun's) loins are filled with pain, and he is bowed down (below the fall equinox to the winter solstice), where he ordered the princes (the stars) to arise and "anoint the shield" (the Earth, i.e., put a new crop on it). The King is the Sun /Gold and the Queen is the Moon/Silver. The Sun and Earth are never separated, remember the Lord God is a Sun and a Shield. Although the sun many appear to be in Aries at the spring equinox the real sun is in Libra along with Earth. The biblical Eldad aka Ram Lover = Aries and Medad aka Water Lover = Libra. See Isaiah 19.14-15, where the Reed, a water plant, is id with Libra. The tail of Israel is Scorpio which the Christians call Satan, father of lies. This has messed up a few Christian "teachers" who do not understand that Scorpio is also the sign of Love and Lust which comes with creation. Scorpio (Genitals) tells us a lot about the Jewish "ingathering." For thus hath the Lord (Adoni = winter Sun) said unto me, "Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth" (Isa 21, v. 6). This was done. Presently he saw three chariots, one of horse-men, one of asses, and one of camels - typical of the three seasons in their order; the horses, of spring; the asses, of summer; the camels, of winter.

Then he rode on two not one! Hello! Are you not following the texts?

@@veridicusmaximus6010 It doesn't say that. It says that he sat upon them. "Them" could be the cloaks. Try to use your brain. Try really hard. Or he could have ridden one until it got tired and then switched. Who cares, Matthew knew more about riding pack animals than you ever will, nobody rides two at once, everybody knows that, and only a scoundrel would pretend that this is an argument at all.

@@sliglusamelius8578 Are yo not paying attention? If it is the cloaks where were they placed - on THEM (the two animals). What the hell do you think Matthew is writing about two animals for - to fulfill the prophecy? And why does this contradict the other gospels? Jesus can't have said both things - "go get one animal" and "go get two animals." Try reading the damn context! He did not have to ride both at once for it to be a contradiction.

@@veridicusmaximus6010 A discrepancy is not a contradiction. Jesus sat upon "them". Them could be the cloaks. Nobody cares whether there was one or two donkeys in the caravan. That's not a detail that tells me whether to believe in Jesus lol. Maybe they placed items on the second donkey to be carried, why would it matter whether other writers mentioned the second one? If that's what makes you either believe or disbelieve, you have serious problems. You're ok with miracle stories, but two donkeys mentioned vs one is the detail that makes you faithless? That makes no sense. How about you just admit that you don't believe in miracles and save us all a lot of discussion?

@@veridicusmaximus6010 Nobody cares about the detail of two vs one donkey. The authors were not trying to talk about donkey caravans, despite Bart Ehrman's obsession, they merely wanted to recount the story of Jesus riding Into Jerusalem. No believer cares about donkeys lol. We really don't. There's a lot more to the Jesus stories than how many donkeys were in the caravan. It seems to me that not believing in miracles is better argument than this nonsense. Of course the details of a stupid pack animal caravan don't matter to the meaning of the story. Ridiculous

Zion is the winter solstice and daughter of Zion is the summer solstice. Peace, is represented by the six days in Genesis one (Spring equinox - Autumn equinox). Every heard about allegory in the bible?
