You say, 'Jesus would need to be chosen by the LORD to be ruler and he wasn't'.Ummm... it sure does. It's not only suggested it's precisely and literally what happens in the story. The "new cart" replaces and prohibits carrying it on their shoulders. What I said was "the details of the law are jetisoned". The detail of carrying on shoulders is gone, ignored, over-ruled, made irrelevent by the "new cart". And that's also what Hebrews perscribes about the original law. ( Hebrews 8:13 )
Yes. Jews. But again, you are skipping, skipping, skipping, repeatedly 20 verses that indicate the "new cart" was a bad idea.
Yes... she's being sarcastic
Yes, and he does not rejoice until *after* the "new cart" has been abandoned. They may have been playing music, but the joy of King David comes later.
It doesn't matter because to be a match Jesus would need to be chosen by the LORD to be ruler and he wasn't. I don't know your scripture well enough to locate the story you're referring to. But plenty of people can act like a fool and bring honor to themself from common people. What you're describing is a comedian not a king.
As l see it, John the Baptist was sent as the forerunner to the Messiah and his prophetic mission was accepted by the people. John pointed to Jesus, and witnessed his baptism in the Holy Spirit. This was not men choosing Jesus; it was God choosing Jesus.
The scriptures teach of Jesus that, 'He came unto his own, and his own received him not.' [John 1:11]
This would suggest that God did not force His king upon the Jews. To have done so would have been an act of despotism.
According to Acts 1:11, Jesus will return in the clouds from heaven, but he comes only when lsrael are ready to accept His salvation [Zechariah 12:9-14]. This appears to be when the nations finally come against Jerusalem.
