1). In our reading today we have the fulfillment of a Messianic prophecy concerning Jesus life and ministry. In this instance it is the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem in the days preceding his death and resurrection (Luke 19:28-40). Though it is not mentioned in the gospel of  Luke, this was a prophesied event foretold by the prophet Zechariah. “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass” Zechariah 9:9). I am persuaded that all in Jerusalem that participated in this prophetic praise moment did so at the command of the LORD in Zechariah 9:9. It lasted from the time the group was at the Mount of Olives all the way into Jerusalem.

a). Luke 19:37-39 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 

19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 

19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.” 

2). Though Luke does not report it, in Matthew 21:9 the multitudes were referring to Jesus as the Son of David as well as “King”, in Luke 19:38. Jesus responded to the Pharisees demand with this response. Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. I believe that if the multitude in Jerusalem would not have praised the Lord in his triumphal entry, that the rocks would have cried out. If the mountains and hills can praise yes rocks will cry out. 

a). Isaiah 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
