Zechariah 9:9-10. 9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey. 10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem; the battle bow shall be cut off. He shall speak peace to the nations; His dominion shall be ‘from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.’
Psalm 72:17-19. 17 His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; all nations shall call Him blessed. 18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things! 19 And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.
The story told long before the Christ came triumphantly on a donkey with salvation and peace with God by reconciliation also quotes from Psalm 72. Here the King to come is told to bless all nations, to do wondrous things, and to show His glory to the world. The fact that Jesus echoes through history and Christmas celebrations reflect that glory to the world is proof of His word and will.
