I've always understood that there are two ways for kings to ride into a town -- either: - on a donkey, symbolizing he comes in peace, - on a horse, symbolizing he comes to conquer or as a conqueror. It's neat to see this secondary aspect, where He first comes as a humble servant, and the Greek & Hebrew texts confirm it.
I think the riding on a donkey depicts a humble suffering servant in earthly form and in heavenly form he will come back riding on a horse to show his glory as the king of kings
And when I was young, I did not understand animals like I do now. Now that my eyes are open n observant I realize how much I personally grew to love the donkey and have so much compassion towards them💔
I think it very possibly did not happen and is a literary device as "prophecy fulfillment". We do not have historically reliable data that it happened, especially as these stories tell it.
I really enjoyed this explanation of Jesus riding on a donkey. He humbly came with a purpose, not to draw attention to himself but to the Father. Thank you
One of the highlights of the teaching of our Master is humility. True greatness comes with humility. In the kingdom of God, the most humble person is the greatest of them all. It is harder to be humble than to be proud. The world will only achieve peace once people follow the teachings of Christ.
Isaiah 53:5, he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS and the other is a WORK OF FAITH, Obedience to God's command. God told Noah to build an ark to be saved. Noah believed and responded by building the ark. Mark 16:16. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ so people can get saved the right way. God bless you!
Kia'ora from New Zealand.Thank you for explaining the entrance of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem, on a donkey. A humble servant of God. He Reigns forever and ever! Stay blessed.
I started learning Hebrew to understand the Bible and what it conveys better. Therefore, I am very grateful for this channel and this ministry. God bless you all.
I enjoyed learning about Yeshua's ride into to Jerusalem. From Scripture I had the idea that Martha, Mary and Lazarus were wealthy. No one explained what Bethany meant in Hebrew. But it is very consistent with Yeshua;s life and ministry. Thanks Dr Lipnick. Shalom janice
He is Risen. Gracious Lord, in the Bible you are called "the One who sees me." and I know that your eyes are always upon me to guide and protect and bless and correct. You have given me eyes too. Grant me the power to use them to truly see Help me see those you put in my path really see them, with all their hurts, their desires, their longings, their needs, their joys, and their challenges. As you open my eyes, prompt me to open wide my arms to offer whatever help and encouragement I have to give. In Jesus’ name I pray amen. God bless you and keep you. Happy Easter.
I took the Bibilical Hebrew course through eteacher. After 35 years of biblical study and having earned a ThD, I found it to be a truely effective learning tool. Regardless of being a beginner or in need of a refresher; it's a great program.
Your works among the brethren speaks a worth! Thank you so much for the explained and we the followers in Christ remain blessed and you be blessed abundantly. Amen
From Jakarta Indonesia, we’re entering the week of Jesus Crucifixion and it’s really wonderful and I’m enthusiastic to learn the original Hebrew language of Our Holy Bible... God Bless us...
Jesus Christ is on his way to me God bless my heart desire work paid off that’s real in Jesus name I am so beautifully grateful to know the real name Jesus.
This does not explain the fact that Ancient King rode horses to war but when they return to Victorious they came on a donkey in peace. A donkey is a sign of peace.
I have gained a much better understanding of the event on Palm Sunday with this video. Thank you very much for giving this clear explanation of why Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem.
Y'shua actually enters Jerusalem on a foal,upon which nobody has ever sat. This is important detail because it was actually the weekly Sabbath and working donkeys could not be used since they too were to rest on the Sabbath. This colt upon which nobody had ever ridden was therefore exempt. Hope this helps to truly see The Messiah entering on the 10th day of the first month to fulfil the Torah and the Prophets. Shalom
fallenSlave - Many followers of Jesus today use the Hebrew name Yeshua for Jesus. The reason is because Mainstream Christianity has destroyed the truth of Gods (Yahweh, YHWH, God Almighty Heavenly Father, Abba) word in the Bible. - It’s to separated themselves from those who really do not know the Jesus of the Bible, they may say they do, but they do not. Why, because they do not live by Gods word and follow His commands. Yeshua is Gods only begotten Son, Yeshua is our Messiah, Mediator, King. Trinity is False. God Almighty and His Son [whom He sent; he did not send himself] are One. One as united as one. Jesus is The Son of Man, God Almighty is not a man, nor is He the son of man, nor does He die, nor does He change ever. They are One not the same exact being. A husband and wife are also One, they are not the same person. ‘we’ is plural. We are One. Not the same exact being. God is not the son of man nor does he repent for sin. Look these scriptures up for anyone who does not yet understand that the Trinity is 💯 false. Learn the Word of God. Gods Word comes to us, taught to us, through His Son. No one has seen the Face of God Almighty, we saw the face of Jesus on earth, because he is the son of man, who was sent. We see the Father only due to learning His Word through our mediator that being Jesus, Gods Son. Jesus was given this authority, he is the beginning and the last. He is not Yahweh His Father. We have a God, The one and only true God Yahweh, who is also the God of Yeshua Jesus. The word God in the Bible was not used as we use the word God today. Example is Satan is also called a God. He is a God of this world, until his time is up, which is close at hand. Jesus 1000 millennial reign will begin soon enough. That is why the earth today is in ruins, because the God of this world is a false God. The world is fallen due to sin. However when Jesus rule begins because he is the only one who paid the price for sin, His rule over all the Earth will be eternal. He is the beginning and the last. He will rule as King over the earth because he is the son of man. Yahweh is God Almighty who rules both heaven and earth. Yeshua Jesus is King over the earth.
This event occurs on Sunday, the Sabbath' begins on Friday at sunset and ends on Saturday at sunset so the animals could work unless he sent the two disciples ahead of him quite a few hours beforehand and they travelled throughout the whole night.
Thank you! This is what I was looking for. Someone to go into the root of Palm Sunday and reveal why it happened. He stayed over in the Poorhouse area and he rode into Jerusalem proclaiming freedom for the poor in spirit
I enjoyed the informations about why Jesus came into Jerusalem riding on a donkey. It shows why knowing the Hebrew and Greek help to get insights on the scriptures.
