"Behold, your King is coming to you... humble and mounted on a donkey."
Zechariah 9:9
Written 500 years before Yeshua was born.
What kind of prophecy is that?
Kings ride warhorses. They enter cities with armies, chariots, banners flying.
But Zechariah said the Messiah would ride... a donkey.
A symbol of peace. Humility. Service.
Then It Happened
Yeshua entered Jerusalem on a donkey.
Crowds shouted, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!"
They were quoting Psalm 118: another messianic passage.
The prophecy was being fulfilled in real-time.
And most people didn't even realize it.
The "Rejected Stone" Became the Cornerstone
Psalm 118:22 says, "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone."
Yeshua was rejected by the religious leaders. Crucified by the Romans.
But He didn't stay dead.
He rose. And His movement spread across the entire world.
The rejected stone became the foundation of the largest faith in history.
This Wasn't the King They Expected
Israel wanted a political liberator. Someone to overthrow Rome.
Yeshua came to overthrow sin and death.
He didn't come to rule by force. He came to reign through love, sacrifice, and resurrection.
A different kind of power. A better kind of King.
The Gentle King Still Reigns
Yeshua's Kingdom isn't geographic. It's spiritual.
It doesn't need borders, armies, or thrones made of gold.
It just needs hearts willing to bow.
Is yours?
