A Different Kind of King

A Different Kind of King

Matthew 21:4-9 (ESV)
4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5      “Say to the daughter of Zion,
         ‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
         humble, and mounted on a donkey,
         on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.
8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Revelation 19:11-16 (ESV)
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 
12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 
13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 
14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 
15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 
16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
