Matthew Chapter 21

Mt.21:9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:


“ Hosanna to the Son of David!

‘ Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’^[e]
Hosanna in the highest!”

Mt.21:10 And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”
Mt.21: 11 So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”

When Jesus entered Jerusalem the mulititudes were praising him and shouting words of blessing. But this multitude will change its attitude towards Jesus soon. If we look at the crucifiction of Jesus, we recognize...

Mt.27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
Mt.27:22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
Mt.27:23 Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”


This time they also cried after him. But this time they did not cry words of praise, but they "cried out all the more, saying, "Let him be crucified!""
Thats a pretty heavy turn from before. This shows us, that these mulititudes did actually not really know, who Jesus was. They had not a firm rooted faith.

Mt.13:4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.
Mt.13:19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

They are like the seed, which is by the wayside. The word was sown into their heart, but the wicked one comes and snatches it away. So they changed their attitude towards Jesus so fast and heavy. And what this multitude/people have done, many other multitudes/people would also do. It's like a specific attribute of multitudes/people crowded.
