“And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.”
Luke 19:35-36 KJV
After they brought the colt to Jesus, they placed their prayer shawls on its back, and Jesus rode it as He descended the Mount of Olives toward Jerusalem. As He rode toward the city, people spontaneously threw their prayer shawls like a carpet on the path in front of Him. This was done to signify Jesus was King. This was how David had Solomon his son anointed as king, “Take Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and take him down to Gihon. There let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel; and blow the horn, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ Prophecy, hundreds of years before when the Jews were in exile, was made about the Messiah Who would come, “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.” God fulfils what He says. Jesus Himself said about His coming back again, “For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.” He will come again, Amen!
