Greetings Deb, In the East the donkey is as large as a small horse, often having a rich saddle and accouterments and carrying great men. The horse was for war (Prov 21:31), but the donkey was always used for peaceful events. Zechariah prophesied that Jesus would ride a donkey because He is the King of Peace, thus giving another indication that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. The donkey was a lowly beast. Christ's first coming to Israel was in meekness and peace, on a lowly beast of burden,and resulted in national rejection, suffering, death, and resurrection. No Jewish king since Solomon had ridden upon one officially. prayon | ||||||
