Sal. 118:19-fin Esto es parte del Hallel (alabanza), Salmos 113-118), unos himnos cantados durante la semana de Pascua. El contexto del salmo es posiblemente una gran victoria para David y la nación de Israel porque Dios los ha bendecido. O posiblemente la vuelta del exilio.

v. 21 La palabra para salvación es Yeshua, una variación de Jesús. v. 22 Compara con 1 Ped. 2:7 v. 25 La palabra para “salvar” es Hoshana vv. 28-29 ¿Alabanzas a Dios por Cristo?

Zacarías 9:9-11—profecía cumplida V. 11 ¿Referencia a la sangre del pacto? La fiesta que se acerca es la Pascua, donde se sacrifica el cordero. La sangre del nuevo pacto viene, de un nuevo Cordero.

Las ramas de las palmeras no eran solamente para festejar, porque la palmera era símbolo de orgullo nacional, el cual podría haber sido tomado por los romanos como amenaza de revolución. Mar. 11:10 Bendito el reino de nuestro padre David que viene.

Puerta Occidental desde el este Golden Gate from east An Earlier Gate below the Golden Gate? There may be an earlier gate below the Golden Gate. James Fleming fell into a hole near here and thinks he saw an earlier gate (Fleming 1982: 24). Leen Ritmeyer says that the arch Fleming saw protrudes from the outer face of the Golden Gate, which in turn sticks out from the line of the pre-Herodian eastern wall. What Fleming saw is the outer face of an arch which supported the platform of a staircase leading up to the gate. Thus the Golden Gate is in the same place as a Second Temple period gate. The presence of a Muslim cemetery precludes the possibility of excavation. Today, there is a girls Islamic school in the gate building. Puerta Occidental desde el este

Dome of the Tablets Dome of the Tablets Location of Temple: Three Major Views Asher Kaufman, Hebrew University physicist, believes that the Temple was located 330 feet (100 m) northwest of the Dome of the Rock, under the Dome of the Tablets (pictured above). The Dome of the Tablets is also known as the Dome of the Spirits. Leen Ritmeyer, architectural draftsman, argues that the Holy of Holies was on the Sakhra inside the Dome of the Rock. David Jacobson suggests that the center of the main hall of the Temple was over the Sakhra. Dome of the Tablets

Mar. 11:11 Cristo va al templo, y vuelve a Betania para la noche. En Mateo 12:17, Cristo vuelve a Betania después de la higuera y la purificación. Betania significa “casa de los pobres”. Pues Cristo iba cada día esta semana de la casa de Dios a la casa de los pobres—¿simbólico para su misión del cielo a la tierra?

Tomando estas las dos citas del pasaje de órden al revés, vemos: Jer. 7:11 Por remez, Cristo implica que los judíos tienen muchos pecados, y que serán rechazados por Dios. Is. 56:6-8 Y los gentiles serán aceptados por Dios. Por qué estaba enojado Cristo? Is. 2:2-4, 56:6-8 (Juan 10:16)

Temple Mount Royal Stoa from northeast The Royal Stoa The Temple Mount plaza was surrounded by covered colonnades on all sides. The largest one was on the south side and was known as the “Royal Stoa.” This area was used for monetary transactions and judicial activity. The Royal Stoa was built with four rows of monolithic columns crowned by Corinthian capitals. The columns were 27 feet high and 4.6 feet in diameter. “Several column and capital fragments have been found, along with pieces of upper sections of decoration, some painted gold” (McRay 1991: 110). “The Sanhedrin may have moved to the Royal Porch about the time of the death of Christ; according to the Babylonian Talmud it was ‘forty years before the destruction of the Temple’ that the Sanhedrin moved from its former meeting place at the Chamber of Hewn Stone, which the Mishnah states was ‘in the Temple Court’” (McRay 1991: 110). The model of the Royal Stoa is based upon the Stoa of Attalos in Athens, which was recently reconstructed. Stoa Real--¿lugar de reuniónes de los 120? (Hch. 2)

Resumen Esta es la entrada de un “guerrero-rey”. Que haya ido al templo y después SALIR es un anticlimax asombroso (Mar. 11:11). Al día siguiente, en vez de ofrecer un sacrifio como el rey, él ataca las prácticas del templo y los sacrificios. No sólo vuelva mesa, sino expectativas también. La entrada triunfal que comenzó en Mar. 11 terminará en Marcos 15 con la ejecución no de los presos de guerra, ¡sino el rey divino!

Temple Mount southern wall The Hulda Gates The southern gates of the Temple Mount are known as the Hulda Gates for one of two reasons: The prophetess Hulda (2 Kings 22) had a monument here. The word “Hulda” means “mole” and this characterized these underground passageways to the Temple Mount. Today the western gate is preserved as a “Double Gate” and the eastern one is preserved as a “Triple Gate.” Some scholars believe that both were originally double gates (as is depicted on the model). For traffic control, entrance to the Temple Mount was by the eastern gate and exit was by the western gate. The exception to this rule was those who were in mourning over the passing of an immediate family member. They would go the opposite direction, thus to be comforted by those who knew them.

Southern steps with Psalms of Ascent Pilgrims in biblical times would sing the “Psalms of Ascent” as part of their approach to the Temple. The Psalms of Ascent are Psalms 120-34. It is not known exactly where these psalms would have been sung. Some suggest that the pilgrims sang them at various stations on the roads leading to Jerusalem. Others believe that they were sung on a series of steps inside the Court of the Women. Another possibility for where the psalms were sung is this monumental staircase on the southern wall of the Temple Mount. In favor of this proposal is the fact that there are 15 wide steps, corresponding with the 15 Psalms of Ascent. It may be that these psalms were sung in many different places by different groups of pilgrims. It is also possible that the places shifted over the centuries. Southern steps with Psalms of Ascent
