[Taffy]

Why a Donkey?...we know Christ said Nothing to the Mulitude lest In parables..But why a Donkey Ride into Jerusalem?
sure  I have my thoughts..but any comments to what maybe symbolic ?

lol , you know  bro G , i  believe it is  Hagars son Ishmael [in bondage ]

Gen 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

Gen 16:12 And he will be a wild man;6501  his hand [will be] against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.   please  consider it is not  dwelling in the presence of the Lord , but among the brethren !  that says alot to me
  and confirmed again   Job 11:12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born [like] a wild ass's colt.


  seems  Paul knew already in Gal 4  28Now you,[f] brothers,(AK) like Isaac,(AL) are children of promise. 29But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh(AM) persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit,(AN) so also it is now.   as SO IT IS NOW AS WELL  !!


the Lord must make him still  and tame him

Zec 9:9  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.

Mat 21:1-5  And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,  (2)  Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.  (3)  And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.  (4)  All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,  (5)  Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

He came riding on two animals, a colt and an ass. It was a sign to the people that this was their King and they knew it. I wonder what the odds were to find the ass with the colt?

  Hi tony  , good point ! 

  to me its  represents  the  levitical/Law  church  in bondage  and She is with young  and Jesus Christ come to tame them[ hold them ] and set them FREE
  IT TAKES THE LORD  HIMSELF TO do this for us

  this man to me was bound and hurting  with the Law /cutting with the stone tablets , till the Lord helped Him   , cutting  or marking yourself for the dead ,  let the dead bury the dead ...

  Jesus Christ is the Lord of all , the dead and living .........


  Mar 5:4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any [man] tame him.

Riding on two animals--the old and the new.

He is the LORD of all.

Matthew 5:17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
