Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey.
His riding in on a donkey also fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah, which was proclaimed approximately 500 years earlier as he predicted in Zechariah 9:9 that the king would come seated on a donkey. ‘
In biblical times, kings were customary to ride a stallion or warhorses as symbols of power and conquest. If the governor at the time, Pontius Pilate, had come into Jerusalem, he would have been in a chariot with an array of soldiers. He would have bought his whole posse, showcasing his prestige and level of importance, solidified by a host of armed men.
But Jesus, the able to calm storms, resurrect the dead, and turn water into wine, came on a donkey with all His disciples unarmed, representing the Kingdom of God and His peace.
