Day 5 - Zechariah 9:9 & John 12:12-15 - February 29, 2016
THE PROPHECY
v 9 Rejoice 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.
{Zechariah 9:9}
Zechariah had two burdens {visions} concerning the coming messiah. In chapter 11:4-17, Israel will reject the coming messiah who would {and will} be a priest, governor, humble king, and afflicted shepherd. The second burden is contained in chapters 12-14. Chapter 14 is fascinating as it speaks of the messiah {Jesus} coming in power to judge the nations and to reign in Jerusalem over to whole of earth {sounds to me like a prophecy yet to be fulfilled - the millennial reign of Christ Jesus spoken of in Revelation}
NOTE: Zechariah is quoted more times in the New Testament Gospels than any other prophet.
THE FULFILLMENT
v 12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to
Jerusalem,
v 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of
Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
v 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
v 15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
{John 12:12-15}
John is speaking of the second coming of Jesus into Jerusalem {the first is in Matthew 21- read this account paying particular attention to verse 17}and how Jesus would ride in on an ass’s colt. This was a demonstration to the people that he would be a humble king, subject only to his Father.
If our King is humble enough to ride on an ass’s colt, instead of some great white stallion {that’s to come}, why do so many professing Christians act like they are above our Lord. With pride, vanity, a holier than thou attitude, and a lofty attitude, these people are putting themselves above the one who saved them.
These are the same people that will not bow down to anyone.
I am humbled at our Fathers written word and at his spoken word. You should be also, for he is a mighty God who by his nature demands reverence, fear, and respect. He has blessed each and every one of us with so many blessings we are unable to count them, how could you not bow down or even fall on your face in humbleness when you come face to face with your Lord and master and messiah. Being humble is not a sign of weakness. Jesus was humble and in that humbleness his father gave him all the strength {physical and mental} that was needed for his daily walk here on earth. Our father has also given us all the strength that we need in our own daily walks.
Let us walk with him and talk with him, remembering at all times who HE is.
Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Note: additional reading/studying on the Messiah’s entrance into Jerusalem can be found in Matthew 21, and Luke 19.
