In case anyone is interested, I have posted a Biblical commentary about Mark 11:1-11, which includes Bethphage, the donkey colt, the triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, and going to the temple on my blog that is part of my website. Everyone is welcome to read and add comments here...

Let's all pray that entrance into heaven requires being filled with the knowledge of Acts Bible Studies and not the ability to listen to God read about the Passover of Exodus being a redo in the last Passover of Jesus. Moses reflects Jesus. The feasts commanded by God reflect those repeated...

John is the only Gospel that tells of Jesus raising Lazarus. Mathew was a disciple who did not write about that event. Mark wrote the accounts of Simon Peter, but did not write about the miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus. Luke wrote the accounts of Mother Mary, who was with the disciples and...

When I realized the meaning of Bethphage, not fig tree ever grown to the mature state of producing figs ONLY produces unripe figs. All figs are unripe first, then all figs are either picked as unripe fruit and left to ripen somewhere, or they stay on the tree until they ripen and fall to the...

Thank you!

Passover is a feast of one day, done twice (Nisan 15 & Nisan 16). The Festival of the Unleavened Bread is the Passover Festival that is the week following Passover. The feast of the First Fruits in one day, during the Festival of the Unleavened Bread. The Feast of the First Fruits is in...

I think what you are calling faulty information is a misunderstanding of the same information you quoted. The First Fruits were the first harvest of the Spring, which were still in need of ripening to be eaten. They were placed in the Temple on 16 Nisan and deemed ripe on the fiftieth day...

The Hebrew word Shavuot means Weeks. It is the Festival of seven Weeks after the Passover. It is a God-Commanded festival of memorial, marking when God brought down the Covenant from Mount Sinai. Jesus was executed during an 8-day Passover Festival, as the Paschal Lamb. He rose on a Sabbath...

OIC what you mean. The Jews ritually count the days [called Counting the Omer], which begins on the second day of the Passover festival [Nisan 16] and goes for seven weeks [49 days]. That Passover began on a Friday [6:00 PM it technically became the Sabbath then, 15 Nisan], so the 1st day of...

Eternal life is like a box of mixed Scripture treats. :-)

Bus Stop Bob is my pseudonym for a blog where I wrote sermons for an Episcopalian-esque bus stop. I followed their lectionary schedule, but welcomed all bus riders. Like Forrest did. Thanks for the warm welcome, to you and all!

I apologize for mistaking the timing. I leaped forward to the ascension. I'm not sure how you mean ten days? It was after the Passover festival was over and the forty days of training began. The ascension was when the disciples and other followers began prayers before Pentecost. Still, the...

There can be so many differences in English translations of Scripture, I like to go to the Bible Hub Interlinear page and see what the original text is. As far that the Greek word you refer to, translated as "doubted," it can equally mean "wavered." I do not think that is reference to them...

The amazing thing that I realized is Bethphage being where the disciples stayed, before going into Jerusalem with Jesus on a donkey colt [Palm Sunday], is the disciples were the unripe figs of Jesus. It says Jesus carried with him an omer of green figs to drop off at the Temple of Jerusalem...

Yes, the nearby village is where two disciples were sent to get a donkey colt, never ridden before by a man. There were only two roads out of Bethany - the Jericho Road being one, and another that went to the village. Two disciples went one way, Jesus and the rest went the other. Both roads...

Same difference, Magenta. It means House of unpicked fruit ... figs, olives, grapes, it really does not matter. Still, Bethphage is said in Mark 11:1 "[they - the disciples and Jesus"] came to Bethphage and Bethany." The conjunction "and" says Bethphage was a House [fig farm or fig orchard]...

Some tidbits of info: Bethphage is thought to be the name of a town, but no one has ever been able to determine where that town was. In the local language, which is rooted in Hebrew, "Beth" means "House," and "phage" means "an unripe fig." In all of Scripture, "Bethphage" is only found written...

This past week, while reading Mark 11:1-11 [the Palm Sunday reading], I was led to realize a much deeper meaning for Bethphage being written. If anyone cares to discuss this, please let me know!

I appreciate that advice.

I'm new to this forum, but I have been posting Biblical interpretations on various sites for years. What I see in Scripture never ceases to amaze with new, deeper meaning. Just this past week, while writing about Mark 11:1-11, I was shown the true meaning of "Bethphage." If anyone likes to...
