Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!

Jesus said: "For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

Hashanna Rabba  -  The Great Hosanna

On the last day of the feast (21st Tishrei), the day of the Great Hosanna was celebrated.  It was the climax of the day that was the climax of the whole season of feasts/holy days (Hosanna translates as "Save Now").  The people prayed especially for GOD'S salvation through Meshiach / MESSIAH - (the anointed one).

A joyous crowd assembled, carrying palm branches a couple of meters in length. It was said to resemble a forest in motion if seen from a rooftop. There was silence in the crowd as the priest said the Hallel (praise) Psalm 118, to which the people responded at every line with Hallelujah. The people processed seven times around the altar.

As they got to verses 25-29, they joined in with the words "Hosanna, make thy salvation now manifest, o Lord" and "O Lord send now prosperity" and they would wave their palm branches. As they reached the words  "Baruch haba bashem Adonai"  "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD", the godly would greet the coming Messiah in their hearts, knowing it applied to Him.

The joy of this celebration became proverbial. "He that has not seen Simchat bet ha Sho'ebhah has not seen joy in this life".

It was on this "last great day of the feast", the day of messianic expectation, that Jesus said, "If anyone is thirsty let him come to me and drink" (John 7:37). He offered living water to anyone who would believe and accept him. He was saying "Look to me and be saved - I AM the great Hosanna".    

What Jesus was trying to tell us is that the next time He comes (at the Rapture), when WE SEE HIM FACE TO FACE, the next time we will get to SEE HIM will be when the people say, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." The only time the Jewish people recite this verse from Psalm 118 is on the last day of Tabernacles! Jesus Himself tells us what day He is coming to get us - on the last day of Tabernacles! He is saying this: The next time I come, when those who believe in Me will be able to SEE ME, will be at the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, when the people are crying out, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.' The day we get to see Jesus again, when He comes to get His Bride, is on the day when the people say, "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!!!"

Right after the Lord made His first Triumphal Entry and the people cried "Hosanna!" "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!", He told us that we would not see Him again until the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, when once again the people cry, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" This is when He will make His next Triumphal Entry and come to take His Bride to Himself. We will again wave palm branches and dance before Him when He delivers us and saves us right at that moment (Hosanna means, "Save us NOW!). And only those who truly can say, "Blessed is Jesus who comes!" will be able to SEE HIM!!!
