Spoke 21

Ecclessiastes, John, Jude

And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

Matthew 21
(vs. 1)

Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

Spoke 21, Cycle 2
(John 8.1)

Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

Spoke 21, Cycle 2
(John 11.28)

Christ enters Jerusalem

Spoke 21 of the Inner Cycle of Matthew opens with two phrases that form KeyLinks to the Gospel of John (Spoke 21, Cycle 2). The first is based on the phrase ("nigh unto Jerusalem") ^[Verify] which is found only in the two verses above. The context is significant; John's Gospel is talking ahout the sorrow at the death of Lazarus, whom Jesus was on his way to resurrect, while Matthew 21 speaks of the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem where He would be crucified, and resurrected. We have the KeyLink:

	KeyLink: Nigh Unto Jerusalem
	PMatthew( 211 ) PBible( 212 )

The other KeyLink is based on the set ("unto the mount of Olives") ^[Verify] which selects two verses, both of which are also quoted above:

	KeyLink: unto the mount of Olives
	PMatthew( 211 ) PBible( 212 )

Now while it is true that Mark and Luke also report the story of Christ and the colt, only Matthew 21 and John explicitly mention the prophecy from Zechariah. This leads to a number of KeyLinks, such as the set (Behold, King, Sion) ^[Verify], which selects Matthew 21.5 and John 12.15:

Of course, there is a host of sets that are KeyLinks, based on combinations of elements of this link, such as (King, Sion, Daughter) ^[Verify], and so forth. If we extended the search to include the OT spelling "Zion" it would include the verse from Zechariah 9.9 that contains the original prophecy. In any case, we have a strong KeyLink:

	KeyLink: Behold, Thy King Comes!
	PMatthew( 211 ) PBible( 212 )

Believing, Ye Shall Recieve

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Spoke 21, Cycle 1
Matthew 21 (vs. 22)

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Spoke 21, Cycle 2
(John 20.31)

In case you haven't noticed, this is the theme verse of this web site! :-) They are linked with the set (believing, ye, might/shall) ^[Verify]:

	KeyLink: Believe that Jesus is the Christ
	PMatthew( 211 ) PBible( 212 )

There is a deep insight based on on the link to the Shin KeyWord Shem (Name). This is the beginning of a great Spoke 21 theme that manifests with perfect clarity in the KeyLink based on the set

That Ye Might Believe!

For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Spoke 21, Cycle 1
Matthew 21 (vs. 22)

And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

Spoke 21, Cycle 2
(John 14.29)

And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

Spoke 21, Cycle 2
(John 19.35)

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Spoke 21, Cycle 2
(John 20.31)

All four verses above, linked between Matthew 21 and John on Spoke 21, are based on the extremely significant phrase ("ye might believe") ^[Verify] . This is what its all about!

	KeyLink: That ye might believe
	PMatthew( 211 ) PBible( 212 )

This integrates with the overwhelming witness of the Isaiah 43 - John link discussed at length in the article called Witness and Believe. If ever there were a witness to God speaking through the Bible, is this not it?
