Zechariah 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.
Who is the "daughter of Zion...daughter of Jerusalem"? It is a personification of Zion, the city of the Great King and Jerusalem, its capital. Why is it called "daughter"? In the Jewish understanding, Jewishness comes through the mother; therefore this establishes that the King is coming for His Bride, the Children of Israel - Jewish people. After Pentecost, the Bride is the Church, ALL those who believe in JESUS, the Messiah.
The King will be humble, meek and a savior who rides on a colt, the foal of an ass, which is a sign of peace, not war. The Peace/King will conquer with the strength of peace. When JESUS returns, He will ride a great white horse, the symbol of the conquer, and He will make war on all evil.
This verse in Zechariah is a prophecy of the coming of JESUS, the Messiah, riding into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, the foal of an ass. He rides in peace into the jaws of death, in order to conquer death and the grave through the shedding of His precious Blood on the cross. All people; Jew, Greek, Roman and all other people of every race and tongue were lined up against JESUS and cried out for His crucifixion. This was true so that all people; Jew, Greek, Roman and all other people could receive the forgiveness of GOD and be sprinkled with the Holy Blood and water from His side. JESUS cried aloud, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Thus it is written, "For GOD so loved the world that He gave his Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3: 16, 17). His death brought life to all people who believe on His Name.
REJOICE GREATLY AND SHOUT, BEHOLD YOUR KING COMETH UNTO YOU, O CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH GOD
