Prophecy V

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!  Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!  Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.  (Zechariah 9:9, NASB)

This is another prophecy to Israel about God’s Christmas gift to them and the whole world of the coming of the Savior of the world!  This one is from the book of Zechariah.  The Prophet Zechariah wrote during the end of the Babylonian exile.  Seventy years had passed since Judah was defeated by Babylon and carried into exile.  The Persian Empire in turn had defeated Babylon, and was now in power.  God spoke through Zechariah to heal the hearts of the Jewish exiles, reconcile them to Himself, and prepare them to return to the land of Judah.  (Zechariah 1)


The prophet says that Israel should rejoice.  Indeed!  The arrival of Messiah would fulfill hundreds of years of waiting and hoping for their Savior King to arrive.  Zechariah describes the future King as “just and endowed with salvation.”  Jesus fulfilled this description.  He walked among us, and taught justice and mercy, that we should love God and love other people.  Messiah would also be humble.  He left His heavenly home and humbly took the form of a man to deliver His message of salvation and gospel of love.

Further, their future King would arrive “mounted on a donkey.”  Jesus would fulfill this prophecy during His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.  We’ll talk more about this during Lent.  Zechariah’s prophecies would come true later, but they gave God’s people reason to hope as they prepared to reenter and inhabit the Promised Land.  

Jesus Messiah fulfilled 108 prophecies from the Old Testament.  God spoke through His prophets to tell Israel Whom to expect that would lead them to salvation.  The long-expected King came to the earth on that first Christmas.  He still calls us today.  God’s Gift to us is most precious.  Have you received Him?

Meghan, my excellent nurse, made this elf for me.  I guess you could say it’s my elf-on-the-shelf!  He’s holding a pennant with a red football helmet representing the University of Oklahoma.  She tried to put a blue one on (Air Force!), but there wasn’t enough room.  I think Meghan couldn’t care less about football, but over the fall she’s evolved to root for my teams:  Air Force, OU, Ohio State, and TCU.  Oh, and the elf has my name on his shirt.  Thank you, Meghan!

In the end, FSBO sellers don’t “save” the payment. Rather, they try to earn the commission by doing a good agent’s task. In doing so, they shell out their money as well as time to execute, as best they will, the obligations of an real estate agent. Those tasks include getting known the home by means of marketing, offering the home to all buyers, constructing a sense of buyer emergency in order to make prompt an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, handling qualification investigations with the loan provider, supervising fixes, and aiding the closing of the deal.
