RE: ‚Palm Sunday‘ = 10th Day of the month of Nissan
This year ‘Palm Sunday’ = Sunday, March 29, 2015 = 9th of Nisan 5775 / Eve of 10th
Please consider: The date of Easter differs between the usage of Western and Eastern (Orthodox) Christianity.
Western Church Calendar: ‘Palm Sunday’ = Sunday, March 29, 2015
Orthodox Church Calendar: ‘Palm Sunday’ = Sunday, April 5, 2015
Would our Lord do a ‘major sign’ on a day having different meanings… I don’t know…
And
aren’t there books written: Spring Feasts were fulfilled at Christ's
first coming - all the Fall Feasts picture His Second Advent. http://waitingforjesus.com/jewishfeastsprophecy.html
Well, on the other hand, perhaps there is something like a ‘refreshing’ ‘sign’ on 9th/10th of Nisan this year !…pointing to the ‘opposite’ feast 6 month later in the Fall, which is Yom Kippur, the Feast of Atonement.
Surely, ‘We will soon find out.’
JW, re July 16, think about, - this year not ‘only’ 21 years since that comet impact on Jupiter…
This year will also be 70 ! years since that blaspheme ‘Trinity’ nuclear test…
And here is one more ‘event’ on a July 16… it was in A.D. 622:
The Islamic Calendar began! (‘The first day of 1 AH corresponds to July 16, 622, denoted as "1 Muharram 1’)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijri_year
Finally I like to point to this (as you did emphasize the “21”) …remember those 21 ! http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-heroism-of-christian-martyrs-lets.html
“…We need to look at those 21 young Christians
in the face. Rather than deny Christ they underwent martyrdom in Libya
and before having their throat cut by ISIS - in reading their lips
(which was done) – they were continuously pronouncing the name of Jesus.
Like the martyrs of old.
THE NAME OF JESUS
Their
Bishop says: “That name whispered at the last instant was akin to the
sealing of their martyrdom.” Coptic Christians are strong people,
tempered by 1400 centuries of Islamic persecutions. …”
Let’s hope and pray that soon and very soon this Islamic era is coming to the end … and:
Thousands and Millions of Muslims will See Jesus…..and THE Trumpet proclaim Liberty and The Jubilee …and
proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man
unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family…
(Leviticus 25:8-13)

Yes: Luke 21:36, Pray always to be counted worthy to escape the tribulation and stand before the son of man.
All power glory and honour to our Lord Jesus.
