Why Did Jesus Enter Jerusalem Riding a Donkey? - Jerusalem In The Footsteps of Jesus

For centuries, the Holy Bible has been a source of inspiration for people all over the world. It is the most widely distributed book today. The Bible is a part of our modern world and has influenced the foundations of Western culture. The Israel Institute of Biblical Studies aims to make the Bible accessible, live from Israel, to people around the world. Through Biblical study and language courses students connect with teachers in the Holy Land to learn the original languages of the Old and New Testaments. This allows them to interpret the holy texts themselves, while discovering the ancient land of the Bible where the stories took place. Find out more about the Old and New Testaments through the Jewish studies, and the connection between Judaism and Christianity.

Students benefit from a full educational experience with an entirely new dimension that immerses them in the Bible's texts, land, people, language, and culture. Our supportive and social learning environment ensures that students are academically challenged through the in-depth study of the Bible. Professional and passionate teachers from the Holy Land of Israel lead each online course, including: Exploring the Biblical Land of Israel, Discovering the Hebrew Bible, Modern Hebrew, Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Greek.

Did you know that the Biblical Hebrew alphabet is different than the Modern Hebrew alphabet? Even Biblical Hebrew verbs, phrases, punctuation, syntax, and more are all different, and important to understanding ancient Holy Scriptures. The Israel Institute of Biblical Studies offers students the best teachers and a strong and supportive community combined with advanced technology that makes our live courses available to anyone anywhere in the world. Students can learn in their own time and even in their own language.

I've always understood that there are two ways for kings to ride into a town -- either:
- on a donkey, symbolizing he comes in peace,
- on a horse, symbolizing he comes to conquer or as a conqueror.
It's neat to see this secondary aspect, where He first comes as a humble servant, and the Greek & Hebrew texts confirm it.

I’m watching this during Holy Week in preparation for our Easter Experience at our village Church on Good Friday

I think the riding on a donkey depicts a humble suffering servant in earthly form and in heavenly form he will come back riding on a horse to show his glory as the king of kings

Jesus,
Please Heal us & Save us From This Evil World.

One of the highlights of the teaching of our Master is humility. True greatness comes with humility. In the kingdom of God, the most humble person is the greatest of them all. It is harder to be humble than to be proud. The world will only achieve peace once people follow the teachings of Christ.

Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.

I really enjoyed this explanation of Jesus riding on a donkey. He humbly came with a purpose, not to draw attention to himself but to the Father. Thank you

I took the Bibilical Hebrew course through eteacher. After 35 years of biblical study and having earned a ThD, I found it to be a truely effective learning tool. Regardless of being a beginner or in need of a refresher; it's a great program.

I enjoyed learning about Yeshua's ride into to Jerusalem. From Scripture I had the idea that Martha, Mary and Lazarus were wealthy. No one explained what Bethany meant in Hebrew. But it is very consistent with Yeshua;s life and ministry. Thanks Dr Lipnick. Shalom janice

[Barukh]

I started learning Hebrew to understand the Bible and what it conveys better. Therefore, I am very grateful for this channel and this ministry. God bless you all.

Gracious Lord, in the Bible you are called "the One who sees me." and I know that your eyes are always upon me to guide and protect and bless and correct. You have given me eyes too. Grant me the power to use them to truly see Help me see those you put in my path really see them, with all their hurts, their desires, their longings, their needs, their joys, and their challenges. As you open my eyes, prompt me to open wide my arms to offer whatever help and encouragement I have to give. 


In Jesus’ name I pray amen.


God bless you and keep you.


Happy Easter.
