As this is
which of course it is referring to the day also called 
into Jerusalem and the branches of the palm trees. This is the day that palm fronds were waved by the crowds and together with Tallits, (prayer shawls/garments), were laid along the road for Messiah Jesus/Yeshua to ride over.
What do Palm branches remind us of …? A tropical beach, southern climates, an oasis in the burning desert, children part of a procession dancing and singing Hosanna to the Son of David?
12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”
14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!” (John 12:12-15 ESV)
The custom of palms traditionally at the end of ‘Lent’ in the Christian Church Calendar, can serve to remind us of a certain day in the month of Nisan, over 2000 years ago; 
because it has its roots in the Judeo/Christian and Hebrew Appointed Times/ Feasts of the children of Israel.
In Jewish culture, palms were used for such an event because they are symbols of victory. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem amid shouts of praise and symbols of victory we clearly see the connection.
In the reference to the branch in Isaiah 11:1
Messiah Jesus IS the branch from the stem of Jesse growing out of his roots/stump.
Little did the people know that the victory Jesus would win was neither political nor military in nature but salvation victory.
On His way to the cross,
Jesus is riding into Jerusalem amid the shouts and palm branches where He won the victory for us over sin, death, and the power of the devil at the cross. The palms also representing the victory that Messiah Jesus/Yeshua won over our sinful, corrupt nature.

However as our English language often has the same word for two different meanings there is another connection here. Palm doesn’t just mean a certain type of tree, or the branch of that tree; It also refers to the part of our hands from the wrist to the base of the fingers.
Our English word palm came from the Latin word for the tree or branch. One source says the word travelled to Northern Europe (where the English language developed) via the Christians bringing the word for the tree they used on Palm Sunday in celebration of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
The English word palm, meaning the part of the hand, is used in an Old Testament Bible passage.
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.
Isaiah 49:16
In Isaiah 49:16 this is a reference declaring that we are written, inscribed, or engraved in the palms of His hands. God says this to us to remind us that He has not – and never will – forget us. Sometimes in stressful situations, it may ‘feel’ that He has; but God says this to us to remind us that He has not – and never will – forget us.
And in Ps 31:15
Our times are in His Hands
WE are in HIS HAND –
Written on His hand.
Isaiah 49:16.
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.
The word “engraved”, it is an eternal reminder, not just written, but ENGRAVED.
Behold I have graven
I have inscribed chaqaq חַקֹּתִ֑יךְ
(khaw-kak’) chak·ko·tich; to cut in, inscribe, decree; to hack, i.e. engrave (Judges 5:14, to be a scribe simply); by implication, to enact (laws being cut in stone or metal tablets in primitive times) or (gen.) prescribe.
Hebrew word for engrave is haqaq, meaning to mark out, inscribe, portrayed.
Portrayed means a representation of something, or in other words a picture, a picture of us engraved on the hands of the LORD. We look at our hands multiple times a day. When we worship Him they are open before Him, usually with our palms facing upwards in an attitude of openness and humility; giving of our love and gratefulness and also a readiness to receive. 
Our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Is it possible that our names are written in His Book of Life not with ink, but with the Holy and Precious Blood of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua?
Is it possible that on that day of Triumphal entry, He knew the deeper significance of the word PALM? 
His Blood was shed on the cross when He died for our sins. Are our names written with the Blood of Jesus that flowed when nails where driven through the palms of His hands – thus marking Him for eternity??
As scripture tells us, Jesus is ever interceding for us before the throne of God.. maybe with His hands open in prayer, pointing to them and saying, 
‘Look at this one engraved on My palm, look at this picture of them portrayed on my palms. I love them, and I am praying to you Father for them, keep them safe for they are in covenant with Us.’
For example a wedding ring on someone’s finger whenever they glance down at it, it is a constant reminder that they are married to someone, they will always think of the one they are married to when they see their wedding ring. However, it is only a temporary token, but to have someone engraved on the palm of the Lord’s hands it is eternal.
I have engraved thee upon the palms of my hands.
We are on the palms כַּפַּ֖יִם
Hebrew: kaph כַּ (kaf)
The hollow hand or palm, so of the paw of an animal, of the sole, and even of the bowl of a dish or sling, the handle of a bolt, the leaves of a palm-tree); figuratively, power.
kap·pa·yim hollow or flat of the hand, palm, sole (of the foot), a pan from kaphaph Kaf כַּ, meaning Palm, Open hand cover, Allow.
Your walls are ever before me.Isaiah 49:16
Behold, I have graven (8804) thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. [of My hands]; Your walls חֹומֹתַ֥יִךְ
cho·v·mo·ta·yich
חוֹמָה Entry for Strong’s #02346 – wall – chômâh kho-maw’
In the time in which this was written, walls were used as writing tablets to record the chronological detail of someone’s life, and to display a person’s life achievements, identifying who they were and what they did, including if they had a family, or what kind of possessions they owned.
This amazing verse highlights how interested the LORD is in every detail of our lives. Not only are we engraved upon the palms of His hands, but our lives, ‘the wall of our life’ is before Him.
Nothing is hidden from the Lord, yet he still loves us with an everlasting love.
By engraving our names on the palms of His hands He reveals the depths of His love towards us. We need to better understand the meaning of that word ‘engrave’, Its like tatooing. You cannot take it out. Once it is engraved, it is the part of the skin..There is no way to separate both. So our lives with all its boundaries are constantly viewed by God; and because of this promise, we are to have childlike faith and be anxious for nothing.
Everything we lack, everything we are, our limitations, our expectations, our hopes and dreams, our brokenness…everything is like an open book before Him. He knows what we are going through, He knows our limits too.
The LORD will never let go of us.
Why He has engraved us on His palms?…it’s because He wants to see us everyday, every moment of our lives…because each one of us is precious in His sight. Imagine, the creator of this world, has us on His palms. What else do we need in life? This is to remind us that there is a greater love than all the other relationships that we have on this earth. It is the love of Jesus. 
He is the only one who chose to die for us. He shed his blood for us.
He suffered the shame and pain to make us His own and we are engraved on His palms. Nobody else or any kind of situation can remove us from there unless we choose to leave, we are constantly in His presence.
He loves us and is constantly praying for us and thinking of us. Listen to tender words of love from Psalm 139:17 (NIV), ‘How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!’
This Passover season and as we celebrate Palm Sunday remember you were in His thoughts as He prepared to go to the cross. 
We were and are Engraved in the palms of His hands, the same hands that were pierced through for our sorrows.
There is another fascinating connection to God, Palms and Israel….
Below a flattened out map shows Israel in the center.
The most amazing thing is that the area around Jerusalem, Israel as seen from above, resembles a hand. (Almost like a glove or mitten.)
Here are some pictures which seem to reveal that He has His hand positioned on, in and over Israel.
Topographic Map of Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5.6-10)
But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there;
and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. 2 Chronicles 6:6
Is the Name of God Hidden on The Mountains of Israel?
A satellite picture made several years ago
shows some Hebrew letters formed from the shadow of mountains on top of Israel.
This was looked at in depth in a previous post click link

Significance has been applied to the fact that there are three valleys that comprise the city of Jerusalem’s geography. This also has a connection to palm/hand.
The Valley of Ben Hinnom, Tyropoeon Valley, and Kidron Valley, and that these valleys converge to also form the shape of the letter shin, the Temple in Jerusalem located approx. where the dagesh, the horizontal line is.
This is seen as a fulfillment of passages such as Deuteronomy 16:2 that instructs the Israelites to celebrate the Pasach at ‘the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for his Name’. (NIV).
The first letter of ‘Shaddai’ in Hebrew is the letter shin (pronounced ‘sheen’). 
It is the 21 st letter of the Alef Bet (alphabet). See earlier posts for more.
The pictograph behind it is fire and teeth.
The word shin is spelled, shin-nun, (S N) from
the Hebrew word for tooth is, shen and has the exact same spelling. Deut 9:3
It is very significant and because of its importance to Shaddai one of the Names of God, a kohen (priest) 
forms the letter Shin with his hands as he recites the Priestly Blessing.
Shaddai, meaning ‘the keeper of the doors of Israel’ and is also inscribed on the mezuzot placed on all the doorways of Jewish homes.
The letter Shin is often inscribed on the case containing a mezuzah, a scroll of parchment with Biblical text written on it. 
The text contained in the mezuzah is the Shema prayer, which calls the Israelites to love their God with all their heart, soul and strength. The mezuzah is situated upon all the door frames in a home or establishment. Sometimes the whole word Shaddai will be written.
is said over the people, found in Numbers 6:24-26.
It is fairly well-known. However, lesser known, is the deeper meaning found
in the pictorial language of the ancient Hebrew.
It is not necessary for salvation to know and to search for the deeper meaning
but when we dig a little deeper, we are able to see additional beautiful pieces of the picture our Heavenly Father has been wanting us all to understand that we have all missed out on for so many generations. 
In the following the information is:
Hebrew word(s)
English word
Ancient pictorial Hebrew language symbols
Name of the above symbols
Meaning found in the above symbols
Pictorial meaning of the word.
May YHVH bless you..
and keep you…
YHVH make His face..
shine
to you (upon you)
and be gracious to you
YHVH lift up
His countenance
to you
and give you
peace.
It could also be read this way:
YHWH, the head of the house with His own work
strengthens His own hand–
by His work He binds and overpowers the destroyer
using the authority in His hand–
YHWH, the Chief Ruler, He secures life and order,
His teaching strengthens,
His work secures the hedge of strengthening life-
YHWH’s strong pressing hand lifts up, His work adds living utterance,
He strengthens authority, His hand destroys chaos,
His authority covers destroying the authority attached to chaos.
And we have His Name written upon our hands too, represented as the letter shinis seen in the lines of our palms.
And finally His very Name,Yeshua is also written upon your right hand. (In Hebrew letters):
the Yud ” י ” (thumb),
the Shin ” ש ” (index/middle/ring),
the Vav ” ו ” (baby)
and the Ayin ” ע ” (palm to wrist).
In Hebrew: Yeshua ישוע (Jesus) אֲדֹנָי .
So everytime we look at our hands during the day remember God specifically tells us that He will not forget us. In fact, He says He cannot forget us because every time He looks at His hands, He remembers us. 
He has engraved us on the palms of His hands as a reminder of us, as a reminder to us of how much He loves us, as a reminder of what He did because He loves us; and amazingly His Name is recorded on ours! Right palm out and centered over head is our affirmation of Yeshua/Jesus Name.
Particularly this coming week, as it is the week leading up to Passover… let’s remember what He did for us recalling His Palms of promise.
Of all weeks in the year this is a perfect time to share the gospel message and make certain your family and friends are saved.
Please don’t leave this page without the certainty in your heart that you are ENGRAVED IN HIS PALM.

A Final P.S. 
Hand Of God Spotted By NASAs NuSTAR Space Telescope!
Make certain Jesus is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.
You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.
Its all about Life and Relationship, not Religion.
NOT CERTAIN? YOU CAN BE..
SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’ name.
