Matthew 21:4-5 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
When Jesus entered Jerusalem just before His crucifixion, He came sitting on a colt (young of a donkey) which was not even two years old while its parent/adult donkey was tagging alone without a rider. We know its age for it was not yet saddled (a donkey is saddled at two).
What is interesting is that this appearance is stated as for the Daughters of Sion/Zion. Sion was a term used for fortified Jerusalem when David took over as king. Like Egypt, Jerusalem refer to stages of initial spiritual growth; similarly, Zion/Sion refers to those who are maturing spiritually and becoming Sons of God. We also need to understand man was made in the image of God (symbolic) and woman was made from the bone/nature of man.
When it says daughters of Sion, it does not refer to the women/females of Sion/Jerusalem. The term daughters of Sion, as explained, symbolises those who are spiritually maturing. The Lord is telling them He will come in glory sitting on ones who are considered unskilled/useless/unsuitable.
On Judgment Day He comes with His Angels who are also referred to as saints by Paul. If understood, they are the Elect who are the First Resurrection, and it is from these Elect that those who are existent during the Two Witnesses are Raptured. Not all believers will be Raptured at that time. If someone understands this, then they will know when the Rapture comes.
Even today, we have some of the Elect amongst us, and one would be surprised to learn they are not amongst the famous or on stages before large crowds. They are the ones who make disciples rather than just believers. They are not those who chose God but those whom God has chosen. They are numbered, and during the end days we see more of them, and the end waits for their coming. They are the colt on whom Jesus comes in glory. But at that time He does not come for the Daughters of Zion but comes for the Sons of Zion/Israel.
[Prayer Starter]
Lord, You are Almighty God. You, Lord, are Spirit and Your Kingdom is a Spirit world. Lord, You made us in the beginning as Sons but sin corrupted us. As we journey from Egypt to Zion and transform from man to Your Image, from daughter to sons. Lord we pray we realise we are the colt on whom You come in glory on Judgment Day.
This prayer we make in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
