Branches of trees are associated with the feast of the Lord. During the eight days of the feast, the Israelites would dwell in booths or tabernacles that were made from the branches of trees ( Leviticus 23:40-42). Secondary meaning we shall examine. This triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem was also celebration of the circuit of the word of God which in the person of Jesus of Nazareth was moving forward. Isaiah had foretold,"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." We already examined the Spirit's annotation on this, " His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."(Ps.19:5-6) He is indicated as the bridegroom. It is thus we examine the itinerary of the Son on his father's errand and he is passing through. He knew well what awaited him there.
It was at the festival of the tabernacles he announced, "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water./(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)" John 7:37-38
In the vision of Ezekiel we have the river of time, "Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other."(Ez.47:7-12)
In Ez.41 the vision concerns the temple the motif of palm tree connects. "And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;"(41:18) The living waters issued from the Sanctuary from creation account to Re.22:1-3 also gives us the circuit of the word that God sent forth. Thus it is triumph of the word of God as much as of Jesus Christ.
