Matthew 21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
On their journey from Jericho to Jerusalem, we find that as they reached Bethphage, a place near Bethany, Jesus sent 2 of His disciples to fetch Him a colt tied alone with its parent. It is on this colt, which is about 2 years old (unsaddled) that He rides into Jerusalem, where the masses greet him with praises of Hosanna.
If one understands this event is an underplay of that which happens on Judgment Day. In Bible symbolism, an olive tree symbolises God’s people and a fig tree the people of the world. Raw figs are not consumable, and we see that when Jesus saw a fig tree in season that had no fruit, He cursed it (passed judgment) and it died from its roots. On Judgment Day, the situation is the same. In its due time, He finds people do not change, then His Two Witnesses, by their death and resurrection, trigger the Rapture, and then He comes with His Angels (Elect – colt) in glory and the Judgment happens.
The Bible gives us warnings in words or in symbolism; we need to use wisdom to understand them and prepare ourselves likewise. Let us not neglect any scripture, for in them are treasures we cannot fathom.
[Prayer Starter]
Lord, You are Almighty God. Lord, You are Creator of all that exists. You created everything with purpose, and in its due time You reveal things. Lord, we pray we understand our purpose and prepare ourselves in time so that we are not found unworthy and rejected thus punished…
This prayer we make in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Revelation 11:3-12
3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless
Zechariah 4:2-3, 11-14
2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [are] upon the top thereof:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side] thereof.
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What [are] these two olive trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon the left [side] thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What [be these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these [be]? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
