Or<00:03:59.520><c> do</c><00:03:59.740><c> we</c><00:03:59.939><c> have</c><00:04:00.099><c> other</c><00:04:00.400><c> things</c><00:04:00.719><c> that</c><00:04:00.960><c> we</c><00:04:01.219><c> worship</c><00:04:01.580><c> in</c><00:04:01.759><c> this</c><00:04:02.000><c> life?</c>

00:04:02.139 --> 00:04:04.659
And<00:04:02.280><c> the</c><00:04:02.419><c> Lord</c><00:04:02.620><c> Jesus</c><00:04:03.039><c> Christ</c><00:04:03.280><c> is</c><00:04:03.460><c> our</c><00:04:03.740><c> king</c><00:04:03.939><c> and</c><00:04:04.219><c> our</c><00:04:04.300><c> messiah.</c>

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.199
He<00:04:05.080><c> becomes</c><00:04:05.400><c> crowded</c><00:04:06.039><c> out</c><00:04:06.680><c> in</c><00:04:07.340><c> this</c><00:04:07.659><c> noisy</c><00:04:08.159><c> and</c><00:04:08.639><c> boisterous</c>

00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:15.219
So<00:04:12.300><c> it's</c><00:04:12.460><c> very</c><00:04:12.780><c> easy</c><00:04:13.080><c> for</c><00:04:13.259><c> us</c><00:04:13.419><c> to</c><00:04:13.699><c> examine</c><00:04:13.960><c> Israel</c><00:04:14.379><c> of</c><00:04:14.639><c> old</c><00:04:14.860><c> and</c>

00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.500
Now<00:04:27.399><c> I</c><00:04:27.500><c> find</c><00:04:27.740><c> it</c><00:04:27.959><c> interesting</c><00:04:28.259><c> in</c><00:04:28.439><c> verse</c><00:04:28.699><c> 9,</c><00:04:28.899><c> when</c><00:04:29.040><c> I</c><00:04:29.240><c> look</c><00:04:29.399><c> at</c>

00:04:44.660 --> 00:04:46.600
It<00:04:45.379><c> doesn't</c><00:04:45.579><c> tell</c><00:04:45.759><c> us</c><00:04:45.939><c> about</c><00:04:46.100><c> the</c><00:04:46.319><c> reception.</c>

00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:29.319
So<00:08:24.959><c> it's</c><00:08:25.160><c> not</c><00:08:25.699><c> particularly</c><00:08:26.240><c> far,</c><00:08:28.079><c> but</c><00:08:28.639><c> it's</c><00:08:28.779><c> like</c><00:08:28.959><c> a</c><00:08:29.139><c> desert</c>

00:08:34.860 --> 00:08:37.320
It<00:08:35.019><c> is</c><00:08:35.240><c> a</c><00:08:35.419><c> place</c><00:08:35.639><c> of</c><00:08:36.059><c> solitude.</c>

00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:41.139

00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.720
Do<00:12:31.980><c> you</c><00:12:32.059><c> think</c><00:12:32.220><c> those</c><00:12:32.559><c> words</c><00:12:32.820><c> are</c><00:12:33.000><c> meaningful,</c><00:12:33.340><c> brothers</c><00:12:33.600><c> and</c><00:12:33.840><c> sisters?</c>

00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:40.200
The<00:12:36.059><c> elders</c><00:12:36.620><c> were</c><00:12:37.340><c> consenting</c><00:12:38.240><c> to</c><00:12:38.419><c> his</c><00:12:38.799><c> death.</c>

00:14:09.899 --> 00:14:13.320
John<00:14:10.059><c> 12</c><00:14:10.279><c> then</c><00:14:10.480><c> in</c><00:14:10.620><c> verse</c><00:14:10.799><c> 1,</c><00:14:11.259><c> then</c><00:14:11.600><c> Jesus</c><00:14:12.320><c> six</c><00:14:12.700><c> days</c><00:14:13.000><c> before</c>

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.460
where<00:14:15.480><c> Lazarus</c><00:14:16.059><c> was</c><00:14:16.360><c> which</c><00:14:16.559><c> he</c><00:14:16.759><c> had</c><00:14:16.879><c> been</c><00:14:17.159><c> dead,</c><00:14:17.860><c> whom</c><00:14:18.059><c> he</c><00:14:18.259><c> had</c>

00:14:21.539 --> 00:14:23.220
So<00:14:21.779><c> it's</c><00:14:22.019><c> purposeful</c><00:14:22.440><c> language</c><00:14:22.820><c> there.</c>

00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.399
Well,<00:14:28.519><c> he</c><00:14:28.659><c> eats</c><00:14:28.940><c> of</c><00:14:29.139><c> this</c><00:14:29.379><c> meal</c><00:14:29.759><c> six</c><00:14:30.139><c> days</c><00:14:30.480><c> before</c><00:14:30.919><c> Passover,</c>

doesn't<00:14:31.720><c> he?</c>

00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.700
And<00:14:31.940><c> then</c><00:14:32.039><c> we</c><00:14:32.179><c> come</c><00:14:32.399><c> to</c><00:14:32.539><c> verse</c><00:14:32.779><c> 12</c><00:14:33.139><c> and</c><00:14:33.279><c> this</c><00:14:34.720><c> phase</c><00:14:35.360><c> in</c><00:14:35.559><c> the</c>

where<00:14:36.399><c> he</c><00:14:36.740><c> commences</c><00:14:37.240><c> his</c><00:14:37.559><c> journey</c><00:14:37.919><c> into</c><00:14:38.240><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:14:55.720 --> 00:15:01.799
So<00:14:55.720><c> now</c><00:14:56.379><c> we're</c><00:14:56.899><c> at</c><00:14:57.080><c> the</c><00:14:57.279><c> phase</c><00:14:57.539><c> where</c><00:14:57.840><c> Jesus</c><00:14:58.519><c> is</c><00:14:59.759><c> riding</c><00:15:00.139><c> into</c><00:15:00.500><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:49.380
And<00:20:47.819><c> when</c><00:20:47.900><c> we</c><00:20:48.039><c> go</c><00:20:48.180><c> back</c><00:20:48.420><c> to</c><00:20:48.640><c> the</c><00:20:48.740><c> reading</c><00:20:48.940><c> that</c><00:20:49.079><c> we</c><00:20:49.220><c> had,</c>

the<00:21:41.960><c> Lord</c><00:21:42.240><c> hath</c><00:21:42.500><c> need</c><00:21:42.799><c> of</c><00:21:43.740><c> them.</c>

Yet<00:21:46.519><c> John</c><00:21:46.819><c> tells</c><00:21:47.160><c> us</c><00:21:47.420><c> that</c><00:21:47.660><c> this</c><00:21:47.980><c> man</c><00:21:48.259><c> sat</c><00:21:48.559><c> on</c><00:21:48.799><c> a</c><00:21:49.380><c> young</c><00:21:49.759><c> ass.</c>

00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:54.119
But<00:21:51.940><c> Jesus</c><00:21:52.400><c> calls</c><00:21:52.819><c> two</c><00:21:53.240><c> animals</c><00:21:53.680><c> to</c><00:21:53.920><c> him.</c>

00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:55.859
Two<00:21:54.700><c> animals</c><00:21:55.119><c> are</c><00:21:55.359><c> presented.</c>

00:21:56.259 --> 00:22:00.180
Jesus<00:21:56.640><c> makes</c><00:21:56.880><c> a</c><00:21:57.220><c> choice</c><00:21:57.460><c> from</c><00:21:57.759><c> two</c><00:21:58.160><c> animals</c><00:21:58.619><c> and</c><00:21:58.839><c> chooses</c><00:21:59.140><c> one.</c>

00:22:02.299 --> 00:22:04.259
And<00:22:02.700><c> straightway</c><00:22:03.240><c> he</c><00:22:03.380><c> will</c><00:22:03.640><c> send</c><00:22:03.859><c> them.</c>

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:06.700
All<00:22:04.980><c> this</c><00:22:05.200><c> was</c><00:22:05.440><c> done</c><00:22:05.680><c> that</c><00:22:05.799><c> it</c><00:22:05.960><c> might</c><00:22:06.099><c> be</c><00:22:06.299><c> fulfilled,</c>

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:08.240
which<00:22:06.920><c> was</c><00:22:07.039><c> spoken</c><00:22:07.279><c> by</c><00:22:07.460><c> the</c><00:22:07.660><c> prophet</c><00:22:07.880><c> saying,</c>

00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.299
Tell<00:22:08.680><c> ye</c><00:22:08.900><c> the</c><00:22:09.039><c> daughter</c><00:22:09.299><c> of</c><00:22:09.500><c> Zion,</c><00:22:10.000><c> behold</c><00:22:10.279><c> thy</c><00:22:10.619><c> king</c><00:22:10.980><c> cometh</c>

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:12.039
unto<00:22:11.539><c> thee,</c>

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:17.380

an<00:22:17.500><c> ass.</c>

00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:21.099
So<00:22:17.980><c> the</c><00:22:18.099><c> prophet</c><00:22:18.680><c> almost</c><00:22:19.619><c> ambiguously</c><00:22:20.380><c> says</c><00:22:20.779><c> that</c><00:22:20.940><c> there's</c>

00:22:21.099 --> 00:22:22.880
two<00:22:21.380><c> animals</c><00:22:21.700><c> here,</c>

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:25.500
but<00:22:23.319><c> we've</c><00:22:23.539><c> already</c><00:22:23.720><c> read</c><00:22:23.900><c> in</c><00:22:24.099><c> John's</c><00:22:24.460><c> gospel</c><00:22:24.720><c> record</c><00:22:25.240><c> that</c>

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:28.220
there<00:22:25.740><c> was</c><00:22:26.019><c> only</c><00:22:27.119><c> one.</c>

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:34.460
And<00:22:31.180><c> both</c><00:22:31.700><c> animals,</c><00:22:32.619><c> verse</c><00:22:33.099><c> 8,</c><00:22:33.359><c> and</c><00:22:33.559><c> brought</c><00:22:33.779><c> the</c><00:22:34.019><c> ass</c><00:22:34.200><c> and</c>

00:22:34.460 --> 00:22:35.339
the<00:22:34.660><c> colt</c>

00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:38.039

00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:39.980
So<00:22:38.779><c> just</c><00:22:39.000><c> pause</c><00:22:39.259><c> for</c><00:22:39.440><c> a</c><00:22:39.579><c> moment.</c>

00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:44.259
Not<00:22:41.039><c> only</c><00:22:41.400><c> were</c><00:22:41.619><c> two</c><00:22:41.880><c> animals</c><00:22:42.240><c> brought</c><00:22:42.559><c> to</c><00:22:42.740><c> the</c><00:22:42.859><c> Lord</c><00:22:43.019><c> Jesus</c><00:22:43.400><c> Christ,</c>

00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:46.000
two<00:22:44.619><c> animals</c><00:22:44.980><c> were</c><00:22:45.259><c> clothed.</c>

00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:49.599
Jesus<00:22:46.940><c> could</c><00:22:47.400><c> sit</c><00:22:47.599><c> on</c><00:22:47.980><c> either</c><00:22:48.460><c> of</c><00:22:48.839><c> these</c><00:22:49.099><c> animals.</c>

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:52.799
Both<00:22:50.420><c> of</c><00:22:50.660><c> these</c><00:22:50.900><c> animals</c><00:22:51.259><c> were</c><00:22:51.599><c> ready</c><00:22:51.920><c> and</c><00:22:52.420><c> prepared</c>

00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.900
to<00:22:53.359><c> carry</c><00:22:53.779><c> the</c><00:22:54.180><c> Lord</c><00:22:54.599><c> Jesus</c><00:22:55.140><c> Christ</c><00:22:55.519><c> into</c><00:22:55.779><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:59.680
Both<00:22:58.500><c> were</c><00:22:58.740><c> ready.</c>

00:23:01.859 --> 00:23:04.980
But<00:23:02.039><c> the</c><00:23:02.180><c> Lord</c><00:23:02.359><c> Jesus</c><00:23:02.759><c> Christ,</c><00:23:03.460><c> as</c><00:23:03.599><c> astute</c><00:23:03.980><c> as</c><00:23:04.140><c> he</c><00:23:04.299><c> was</c><00:23:04.500><c> as</c><00:23:04.640><c> being</c><00:23:04.859><c> the</c>

00:23:04.980 --> 00:23:05.420
son<00:23:05.099><c> of</c><00:23:05.299><c> God,</c>

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:09.079
he<00:23:05.680><c> chooses</c><00:23:06.500><c> the</c><00:23:07.380><c> young</c><00:23:07.900><c> ass.</c>

00:23:11.299 --> 00:23:13.240
So<00:23:11.460><c> if</c><00:23:11.640><c> two</c><00:23:11.799><c> animals</c><00:23:12.099><c> go</c><00:23:12.319><c> into</c><00:23:12.579><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:16.440
and<00:23:13.440><c> he</c><00:23:13.619><c> only</c><00:23:13.859><c> sits</c><00:23:14.039><c> upon</c><00:23:14.599><c> the</c><00:23:15.519><c> colt,</c>

00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:19.660
then<00:23:17.079><c> presumably</c><00:23:17.940><c> what</c><00:23:18.220><c> we're</c><00:23:18.420><c> being</c><00:23:18.660><c> told,</c>

00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:21.619
that<00:23:20.039><c> Jesus</c><00:23:20.319><c> sat</c><00:23:20.539><c> upon</c><00:23:20.799><c> the</c><00:23:21.000><c> ass's</c><00:23:21.279><c> colt</c>

00:23:21.619 --> 00:23:25.299
and<00:23:21.880><c> he</c><00:23:22.319><c> let</c><00:23:22.779><c> the</c><00:23:24.079><c> ass</c><00:23:24.440><c> into</c><00:23:24.880><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:28.299
So<00:23:25.519><c> it</c><00:23:25.599><c> would</c><00:23:25.759><c> have</c><00:23:25.859><c> been</c><00:23:25.980><c> a</c><00:23:26.480><c> striking</c><00:23:26.920><c> picture</c><00:23:27.339><c> to</c><00:23:27.619><c> see.</c>

00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:31.799
There<00:23:29.140><c> they</c><00:23:29.400><c> were</c><00:23:29.680><c> all</c><00:23:29.940><c> with</c><00:23:30.119><c> their</c><00:23:30.480><c> pantries,</c><00:23:31.000><c> singing</c><00:23:31.359><c> Hosanna,</c>

00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:33.480

00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.940
sitting<00:23:34.259><c> upon</c><00:23:34.559><c> this</c><00:23:35.039><c> ass's</c><00:23:35.359><c> colt</c><00:23:35.579><c> and</c><00:23:35.819><c> leading</c><00:23:36.420><c> an</c><00:23:36.900><c> ass</c><00:23:37.059><c> into</c><00:23:37.359><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:41.960
though<00:23:38.380><c> both</c><00:23:38.700><c> were</c><00:23:38.940><c> prepared</c><00:23:39.279><c> to</c><00:23:39.559><c> carry</c><00:23:40.140><c> our</c><00:23:40.880><c> Lord.</c>

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.460
Just<00:23:42.519><c> want</c><00:23:42.660><c> you</c><00:23:42.920><c> to</c><00:23:43.619><c> visualize</c><00:23:44.480><c> that.</c>

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:48.160
Now<00:23:47.000><c> the</c><00:23:47.079><c> first</c><00:23:47.299><c> thing</c><00:23:47.420><c> we</c><00:23:47.539><c> should</c><00:23:47.680><c> remark</c><00:23:48.019><c> on,</c>

the<00:23:48.319><c> Lord</c><00:23:48.460><c> Jesus</c><00:23:48.740><c> Christ</c><00:23:49.019><c> could</c><00:23:49.220><c> have</c><00:23:49.400><c> selected</c><00:23:49.700><c> a</c><00:23:50.000><c> horse,</c>

00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:51.339
couldn't<00:23:50.599><c> he?</c>

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.500
He<00:23:51.859><c> could</c><00:23:52.059><c> have</c><00:23:53.019><c> sat</c><00:23:53.279><c> upon</c><00:23:53.519><c> a</c><00:23:53.720><c> great</c><00:23:54.019><c> charge</c><00:23:54.359><c> and</c><00:23:54.660><c> gone</c><00:23:54.880><c> in</c>

00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:57.920

00:24:00.099 --> 00:24:03.240
But<00:24:00.460><c> he</c><00:24:00.640><c> chose</c><00:24:01.240><c> not</c><00:24:01.839><c> to,</c>

00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.900
because<00:24:04.099><c> this</c><00:24:04.319><c> was</c><00:24:04.500><c> a</c><00:24:04.579><c> man</c><00:24:04.680><c> of</c><00:24:04.980><c> great</c><00:24:05.359><c> humility.</c>

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.420
He<00:24:06.200><c> went</c><00:24:06.559><c> in</c><00:24:06.819><c> though</c><00:24:07.019><c> as</c><00:24:07.180><c> their</c><00:24:07.420><c> king.</c>

00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.240

He<00:24:12.779><c> went</c><00:24:13.039><c> in</c><00:24:13.339><c> with</c><00:24:13.660><c> great</c><00:24:14.279><c> humility.</c>

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:20.500
And<00:24:17.660><c> what</c><00:24:17.799><c> do</c><00:24:18.000><c> you</c><00:24:18.099><c> think</c><00:24:18.200><c> this</c><00:24:18.480><c> meant</c><00:24:18.720><c> to</c><00:24:19.019><c> the</c><00:24:19.279><c> disciples?</c>

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:23.480
They<00:24:21.039><c> would</c><00:24:21.200><c> have</c><00:24:21.319><c> known</c><00:24:21.500><c> their</c><00:24:21.779><c> scriptures,</c><00:24:22.200><c> wouldn't</c><00:24:22.380><c> they,</c><00:24:22.539><c> brothers</c><00:24:22.759><c> and</c><00:24:23.000><c> sisters?</c>

00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.440
They<00:24:24.119><c> would</c><00:24:24.279><c> have</c><00:24:24.460><c> known</c><00:24:24.660><c> Zechariah</c><00:24:25.119><c> chapter</c><00:24:25.400><c> 9.</c>

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:28.640
But<00:24:26.799><c> this</c><00:24:27.059><c> was</c><00:24:27.359><c> a</c><00:24:27.559><c> heady</c><00:24:27.819><c> environment.</c>

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.440

Well,<00:24:55.640><c> the</c><00:24:55.799><c> disciples</c><00:24:56.240><c> here</c><00:24:56.539><c> in</c><00:24:56.680><c> John</c><00:24:56.880><c> chapter</c><00:24:57.140><c> 12</c><00:24:57.440><c> and</c><00:24:57.640><c> verse</c><00:24:57.819><c> 16,</c>

00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:01.259
there<00:24:58.859><c> was</c><00:24:59.079><c> Jesus</c><00:24:59.559><c> sitting</c><00:24:59.900><c> upon</c><00:25:00.240><c> an</c><00:25:00.500><c> asses</c><00:25:00.700><c> cult</c><00:25:00.940><c> there</c><00:25:01.160><c> at</c>

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:03.740
And<00:25:02.660><c> what</c><00:25:02.799><c> were</c><00:25:02.920><c> the</c><00:25:03.119><c> disciples</c><00:25:03.500><c> doing?</c>

00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:07.019
These<00:25:04.279><c> things,</c><00:25:04.700><c> verse</c><00:25:04.900><c> 16,</c><00:25:05.359><c> understood</c><00:25:05.799><c> not</c><00:25:06.240><c> his</c><00:25:06.500><c> disciples</c>

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:08.440

00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:11.799
But<00:25:09.220><c> when</c><00:25:09.440><c> Jesus</c><00:25:09.819><c> was</c><00:25:10.140><c> glorified,</c><00:25:10.779><c> then</c><00:25:11.039><c> remembered</c><00:25:11.500><c> they</c>

00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:13.539
that<00:25:12.019><c> these</c><00:25:12.400><c> things</c><00:25:12.599><c> were</c><00:25:12.839><c> written</c><00:25:13.019><c> of</c><00:25:13.200><c> him,</c>

00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.039
So<00:25:19.420><c> the</c><00:25:19.619><c> disciples</c><00:25:20.019><c> didn't</c><00:25:20.319><c> understand</c><00:25:20.700><c> what</c><00:25:20.839><c> was</c><00:25:21.059><c> going</c><00:25:21.279><c> on.</c>

00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.680
They<00:25:22.819><c> could</c><00:25:23.259><c> not</c><00:25:23.660><c> see</c><00:25:24.220><c> what</c><00:25:24.819><c> Jesus</c><00:25:25.279><c> was</c><00:25:25.480><c> doing.</c>

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:27.500
Can<00:25:25.940><c> we,</c><00:25:26.279><c> brothers</c><00:25:26.440><c> and</c><00:25:26.700><c> sisters,</c><00:25:26.920><c> this</c><00:25:27.119><c> afternoon,</c>

00:25:27.859 --> 00:25:31.740
can<00:25:28.079><c> we</c><00:25:28.359><c> see</c><00:25:28.619><c> what</c><00:25:28.880><c> Jesus</c><00:25:29.599><c> was</c><00:25:30.720><c> doing?</c>

00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.519
Well,<00:25:34.660><c> one</c><00:25:34.779><c> thing</c><00:25:34.940><c> I'd</c><00:25:35.119><c> like</c><00:25:35.220><c> us</c><00:25:35.400><c> to</c><00:25:35.559><c> notice</c><00:25:35.759><c> there</c><00:25:36.480><c> is</c><00:25:37.220><c> found</c>

00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:40.640
So<00:25:38.799><c> there</c><00:25:39.039><c> they</c><00:25:39.180><c> had</c><00:25:39.380><c> the</c><00:25:39.660><c> palm</c><00:25:39.900><c> trees,</c><00:25:40.160><c> and</c><00:25:40.240><c> they</c><00:25:40.420><c> were</c>

00:25:42.579 --> 00:25:44.160

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:46.839
It<00:25:44.460><c> literally</c><00:25:44.799><c> means</c><00:25:45.039><c> save</c><00:25:45.579><c> now</c><00:25:45.920><c> or</c><00:25:46.380><c> help.</c>

00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:49.559
It<00:25:47.420><c> is</c><00:25:47.640><c> a</c><00:25:47.940><c> cry</c><00:25:48.240><c> of</c><00:25:48.680><c> plea.</c>

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:53.079
They<00:25:51.039><c> wanted</c><00:25:51.339><c> him</c><00:25:51.519><c> to</c><00:25:51.660><c> be</c><00:25:51.819><c> king,</c><00:25:52.059><c> didn't</c><00:25:52.279><c> they?</c>

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:55.480
Maybe<00:25:53.839><c> they</c><00:25:54.059><c> understood</c><00:25:54.480><c> to</c><00:25:54.680><c> a</c><00:25:54.839><c> certain</c><00:25:55.019><c> extent,</c>

Zechariah<00:25:55.980><c> chapter</c><00:25:56.240><c> 9,</c><00:25:56.640><c> that</c><00:25:56.700><c> he</c><00:25:56.819><c> was</c><00:25:57.059><c> the</c><00:25:57.319><c> king,</c>

00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:02.900
He<00:26:00.519><c> would</c><00:26:01.119><c> overrule</c><00:26:01.960><c> the</c><00:26:02.240><c> Romans.</c>

00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.359
But<00:26:03.420><c> this</c><00:26:03.579><c> is</c><00:26:03.700><c> not</c><00:26:03.799><c> what</c><00:26:03.940><c> Jesus</c><00:26:04.240><c> meant</c><00:26:04.460><c> at</c><00:26:04.700><c> all,</c><00:26:04.980><c> was</c><00:26:05.099><c> it?</c>

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:21.780
Why<00:34:21.380><c> was</c><00:34:21.679><c> it?</c>

00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:40.179
But<00:34:36.599><c> the</c><00:34:36.900><c> ass</c><00:34:37.159><c> was</c><00:34:37.719><c> differentiated</c><00:34:38.400><c> from</c><00:34:38.699><c> all</c><00:34:39.199><c> the</c><00:34:39.480><c> unclean</c><00:34:39.920><c> animals.</c>

00:34:43.179 --> 00:34:47.280
So<00:34:43.360><c> it</c><00:34:43.719><c> singled</c><00:34:44.159><c> out</c><00:34:44.599><c> the</c><00:34:45.239><c> only</c><00:34:45.739><c> unclean</c><00:34:46.519><c> animal</c><00:34:46.840><c> that</c><00:34:47.079><c> could</c>

00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:50.280
Why?

00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:52.699
And<00:34:50.500><c> it</c><00:34:50.599><c> had</c><00:34:50.880><c> to</c><00:34:51.019><c> be</c><00:34:51.179><c> the</c><00:34:51.440><c> firstborn.</c>

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:29.219
A<00:36:26.699><c> lamb</c><00:36:27.059><c> that</c><00:36:27.539><c> symbolises</c><00:36:28.179><c> Passover.</c>

00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:33.360

00:37:33.420 --> 00:37:39.539
And<00:37:33.739><c> that's</c><00:37:34.019><c> why</c><00:37:34.260><c> I'd</c><00:37:34.579><c> suggest</c><00:37:35.059><c> he</c><00:37:35.860><c> sat</c><00:37:36.360><c> upon</c><00:37:37.679><c> the</c><00:37:38.239><c> ass's</c><00:37:38.599><c> cult.</c>
