Hosanna!

The ‘white horse’ is definitely ready to go. I also felt led to have a palm in the background — it is a symbol of triumphant entry by the ‘head’ and victory. It seems we will soon see the power, royalty and authority of the conquering King visible among us. Remember when John sees heaven opened in Rev 19? The first thing he sees is the white horse — I think this represents the Kings royalty, power, authority — victory!

REJOICE!

From the NetBible:

3. Palm Branches:

Branches of palms have been symbolically associated with several different ideas. A palm branch is used in Isa 9:14;19:15 to signify the “head,” the highest of the people, as contrasted with the rush, the “tail,” or humblest of the people. Palm branches appear from early times to have been associated with rejoicing. On the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles the Hebrews were commanded to take branches of palms, with other trees, and rejoice before God (Lev 23:40; compare Neh 8:15; 2 Macc 10:7). The palm branch still forms the chief feature of the lulabh carried daily by every pious Jew to the synagogue, during the feast. Later it was connected with the idea of triumph and victory. Simon Maccabeus entered the Akra at Jerusalem after its capture, “with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and with harps, and cymbals, and with viols, and hymns, and songs: because there was destroyed a great enemy out of Israel” (1 Macc 13:51 the King James Version; compare 2 Macc 10:7). The same idea comes out in the use of palm branches by the multitudes who escorted Jesus to Jerusalem (Jn 12:13) and also in the vision of the “great multitude, which no man could number …. standing before the …. Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands” (Rev 7:9). Today palms are carried in every Moslem funeral procession and are laid on the new-made grave.
