Palm Sunday

Jesus' Triumphal Entry is the fulfillment of prophecy from  Zechariah 9:9-13 - The Coming of the King of Zion

9:9: "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." -- Fulfilled by Jesus during the Triumphal Entry.

9:10: "I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace to the nations; his rule shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth." -- Jesus established the covenant of grace which is available for Jews and Gentiles alike; the church has expanded from sea to sea, and the gospel has been preached all over the world. (This verse is very close to Psalm 72:8, which is about the Lords Anointed King, which is fulfilled by Jesus.)

9:11: "As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit." -- Through the sacrifice of Christ and the atonement provided through His blood (as He mentioned at the Last Supper), God has liberated those who were trapped in the pit of sin and guiltiness.

9:12: "Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double." -- Jesus will compensate His martyrs and confessors for their losses and hardships. He calls all those persecuted for the sake of the gospel to maintain their hope and faith in God, the ever-present refuge.

9:13 "For I have bent Judah as my bow; I have made Ephraim its arrow. I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and wield you like a warrior's sword." -- God used the Jews to bring salvation to all people in the entire world.
