The King Is Coming (1 of 8)
Series: The Final Week - Part 2
Jeff Strite
John 12:12-19
OPEN: The last emperor of Germany was Kaiser Wilhelm II and, in 1898 he decided to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. At the time, the once great Jerusalem was in serious need of attention. So 6 months before the Kaiser's scheduled arrival, the Sultan replaced the mayor of Jerusalem with a more energetic official who was charged with making some much needed improvements to city. To prepare for the Kaiser and his entourage, a small village of 81 tents was set up for them to live in just outside city. And inside the city, the Markets were rebuilt, the city water system was repaired after centuries of neglect, roads along the Kaiser's planned route were paved, new buildings were constructed and old ones were whitewashed and painted. Beggars and barking dogs rounded up and exiled to distant villages. And a wall near the Jaffa Gate (thru which the Kaiser was to enter) was torn down to allow for him/his entourage easier access to city. On the day of his grand entry the Kaiser entered Jerusalem riding on a beautiful white horse and he was welcomed by numerous dignitaries, journalists and photographers. As the crowd cheered - he received a 21-gun salute.
Over 100 years later, the ''Tower of David Museum'' in Jerusalem set up an interactive display of the event entitled ''The Kaiser Is Coming!'' (https://www.jpost.com/in-jerusalem/features/historical-exhibition-kaiser-is-coming-again)
The Kaiser Is Coming!!!
As this last Emperor of Germany entered the city - the crowds went wild.
Nearly 2000 years before that... Jesus entered that same city! The crowds went wild and spread their coats and palm branches on the road before Him. And they shouted ''Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!'' John 12:13
They were declaring THE KING IS COMING! And they knew that Jesus was the coming King because He was fulfilling a couple of the prophecies ...
