o: Entry into Jerusalem
We read in the first book of Kings that when David smote Goliath, he cut off his head and brought it in his own hand. When coming from the Philistines, the women came rejoicing, and received him into Jerusalem with great glory. David thus typifies Christ, whom the children of the Hebrews received into Jerusalem, shouting with loud voice, and uttering blessings on Him who came in the name of the Lord. |
