The Prediction of the Triumphant Entry

Introduction: Bible Prophecy is amazing; its precision, the accuracy is unprecedented. Zechariah’s prophecy is no exception. In addition to numerous prophecies concerning Jesus Christ, the one concerning His triumphant entry, is fascinating to say the least.
1. The Prediction of Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry! (Zech 9:9)
“9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”
If you did a study on the context of Zechariah chapter nine you would discover other predictions besides the triumphant entry. Alexander the Great fulfilled the first part of this chapter. There is no book like the Bible.
2. The Fulfillment of Jesus’ Triumphant entry! (Luke 22:28-31)
“And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.”
Imagine “the Lord hath need of him,” this was precisely the time when Zechariah predicted. Another fulfillment of the Bible.
Jesus said that if those who praised Him ceased their praise, then the rocks would cry out. Today’s application? Don’t let the rocks beat you!
