When was Zechariah 9:9 fulfilled?
Zechariah 9:9 was fulfilled at His first advent, specifically on triumphal Sunday when He came riding in on a young donkey. Verse 10, by contrast, points to the tribulation and Armageddon, which are still ahead. This fulfillment belongs to His first coming.
Les explains that Zechariah 9:9 was fulfilled at His first advent. He points to the triumphal Sunday when Jesus came riding in on that little young donkey. Then verse 10 shifts to the tribulation and Armageddon, which are still ahead. This mirrors the earlier passage where verses 28 and 29 took place at His first advent, but the remaining verses are still future, so a parenthesis is placed between verse 29 and 30.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
