And so [i.e., in this way] all the Israelites will be saved. [Note: The “all” here is thought by many to refer to a large number of the physical Jews who will be saved, not necessarily to every single individual Jew]. Even as it is written [Isa. 59:20-21], “The Deliverer [i.e., Christ] will come from Zion [i.e., either Jerusalem, or the nation of Israel]. He will take away the wickedness from Jacob [i.e., the Jews].”
And the crowds that walked ahead and followed behind Him shouted, “Hosanna to the son of David. [Note: The Syriac word ‘Hosanna’ originally meant ‘save now’ but came to be used as an expression of welcome, praise, blessing or acclamation]. May He, who comes in the name [i.e., by the authority] of the Lord, be blessed. Hosanna in the highest [i.e., may this blessing reach to the highest heaven].”
