Donkey at the East Gate
December 9th, 2007
“…behold your king is coming to you…mounted on a donkeyâ€
(Zechariah 9:9; see Matthew 21:4-5)
Introduction: The donkey at the east gate is a definite signal. Let us explore this magnificent text.
I.    Matthew 21:1-3 – A Messianic Directive
II.  Matthew 21:4-5 – A Messianic Fulfillment
III. Matthew 21:6-7 – A Messianic Feat
IV. Matthew 21:8-10 – A Response to Messiah
Conclusion: Zechariah’s prophecy was given about the year 520 B.C. Simple math infers that this pre-dated the coming of Jesus to Jerusalem by some 550 years. What does it say? What does it say to you?
