They turned on him pretty quick. Any reasons why?

The way I see it is that the Jews were under occupation and oppression from the Romans . When they realized that Jesus was not there to free them from bondage and supply their needs , well that wasnt what they had in mind for a Messiah . I think many people have that same attitude today , in that Jesus is great so long as he is supplying our needs and he serves our purposes.

That "Heroic" welcome may have just been the very last straw that broke the camel's back with the Pharases. Remember, Christ had dared to commit heresy by putting himself on par with God. He'd challenged the authority of the Pharases on numerous occasions. And none of this set well with the corrupt political/religious system. They'd been looking for someone like Moses to come and lead them into a new kingdom. They wanted the kingdom to be here on earth, over-ruling Caesar... Christ offered them something different.

Two different kinds of people. The ones who sent him to be killed were the leaders who feared him and they had pull over many but 5the ones who welcomed him were the believers of him. It's just like if Gandhi would walk through our streets he'd have followers but there would be many who'd love nothing more than to see him killed.

It truly demonstrates the fickleness of the human race, doesn't it? They were bought off or were coerced into condemning Jesus the Christ. But who can really judge them. They only did what they thought was right in their own eyes.. and that's ok, right?

Yes, it was one week. Yes, they turned on Him pretty quickly. But it was prophesied that it would happen that way. Jesus knew it. The triumphal entry into Jerusalem was laden with symbolism and prophesy that still hasn't even come true all the way yet.

The chief priests and the scribes were seeking the effective way for them to get rid of him, because they were in fear of the people. Luke 22:2

Because it was part of our glorious {FATHER}s brilliant designed plan. Never forget that there is always a special "hidden" reason for every horrific {ACT} that is bestowed among the true and faithful.

People wanted him "to establish his kingdom" literally and in that particular time. When he refused, he insulted them. His kingdom was not of this world and therefore they killed him.

that's exactly why. The Jewish leaders saw what Jesus was becoming, and knew they needed to nip it in the bud.

It just shows how fickle the jewish crowd of that day was... I guess there is a reason God called them sheep.

Probably the Pharisees conducted a propaganda campaign to demonise him.
