ZECHARIAH 9:9
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
ZECHARIAH 9:9
1- THE STRUGGLE WAS REAL.
1- THE STRUGGLE WAS REAL.
ISRAEL WAS A POWERHOUSE OF A NATION AND PROSPERED GREATLY.
12 and Jehoiachin the king of Judah gave himself up to the king of Babylon, himself and his mother and his servants and his officials and his palace officials. The king of Babylon took him prisoner in the eighth year of his reign
13 and carried off all the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold in the temple of the Lord, which Solomon king of Israel had made, as the Lord had foretold.
14 He carried away all Jerusalem and all the officials and all the mighty men of valor, 10,000 captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. None remained, except the poorest people of the land.

2 KINGS 24:29
12 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the Lord.
13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord, the God of Israel.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
2 CHRONICLES 36:12
19 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.

MATTHEW 21:
3- NOW WE WAIT.
3- NOW WE WAIT.
EARLY CHURCH ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THE COMING OF CHRIST AS THE COMING JUDGMENT.
God is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas Day Four: An Un-Christmas-Like Idea
We have become so accustomed to the idea of divine love and of God’s coming at Christmas that we no longer feel the shiver of fear that God’s coming should arouse in us. We are indifferent to the message, taking only the pleasant and agreeable out of it and forgetting the serious aspect, that the God of the world draws near to the people of our little earth and lays claim to us.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, “The Coming of Jesus in Our Midst”
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.
13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done.
14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
