Things in the Bible not really in the Bible…and a few Surprises

OOPS OF THE DAY 

Palm branches were always waved to celebrate Passover,

so that’s what people waved when Jesus entered Jerusalem as their king.

Matthew 21:7-10  –  Leviticus 23:39-43

FACT OF THE DAY

No!  The Passover was held each year in in late March or Early April.  Palm branches were waved in early October.   Palm branches were part of the Feast of Booths which was an extension of the Day of Atonement – the Day of SALVATION. 

Passover was in the spring and the Feast of Booths was in the autumn.  So the people declared him their SAVIOR symbolically with the palm branches.
