This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, “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.’”
Matthew 21:4-5 and Zechariah 9:9
#yeshua didn't act specifically to fulfill the prophecy, but knowing that his actions would fulfill it.
The quoted prophecy is sometimes interpreted to mean two donkeys, but it's actually a parallelism. It's possible that Matthew specified that there were two donkeys so that those who believed that interpretation would still see the fulfillment.

We all know the songs and the verses about Jesus being the same yesterday, today, and forever. However, we typically interpret Scripture to say He does change.
I've seen memes going across social media for the last few years along the lines of: If it was a sin 100 years ago, it is a sin today. I don't understand why they limit it to 100 years ago. What happened 100 years that makes it the point in time to refer to on a sin list? Why not: "If it was a sin 4,000 years ago, it is still a sin today" ?
The list of what is and isn't sin was given to us to be written down at Mt. Sinai. God emphasizes that He is giving life and death. Life if we do what He says to do (i.e. not sin) and death if we don't do what He says to do or do the things He says not to do (i.e. sin).
If we had a time machine (and the capability to make him understand English) and went and grabbed Moses and brought him here; do you think after explaining the Messiah he was prophesying about came, he would agree that those commandments God gave him to pass along were now null and void? That all we have to do now is love one another? That essentially, sin has changed and those things that he wrote down as things not to do (sin) were now okay to do (not sin) ?
If you would say yes to that, I would encourage you to go back and read to understand what Moses was writing about. Then read the Psalms. Then read Jesus' words. Then read James. Then read Stephen's account.
Amos 3:7 states that God does nothing without revealing to His prophets, and I will tell you, there is no passage in any of the prophets that states sin will change.
Think about this: If sin can change, that means what is good can change. So, if it was a sin to eat certain animals during Moses' time, but today it is no longer a sin (like what most churches teach), what else can change? It is good to love one another, but what if tomorrow God changes His mind and now calls that a sin? Do either of these accounts match the many verses that tell us He doesn't change?
Many would say "He didn't change, how He interacts with us changed" or "instructions for us changed" or various other things that make it where it isn't God changing, but something else. However, God is our source of good. He knows what is good and what is evil and is the ultimate authority on that. If He says something is life (good) and something is death (evil), wouldn't that be Him telling us the essence of who He is and who He isn't? So, if something that was evil is now good, wouldn't that be a change in His character, thus Him changing?
Something to think about.

"Every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire."
Lk 3
(This story so far resides here: ofourmaker.com/2023/10/17/adolphus-search-and-rescue )
Number One bowed her head in affirmation. Gibbsen could not tell how affected she was by the prospect of her previous kind and companions being hailed with bullets, but no doubt it had happened before. She followed without hesitation when SAC Gharial beckoned her to come with him closer to the silk screen, while movement could begin to be seen on the other side, connected with the nearing cries and breaking of undergrowth.
"Turn on the floodlights," the SAC ordered.
"It will enrage them, sir," the aide-de-camp said as he jogged to the light controls.
"She needs to see," the SAC said. "Only long enough for that."
As expected, when the blackness turned to the various shades of dust and dry growth, and the devilish gang stood out suddenly like huge, badly made puppets without a stage, they reared in anger, and their chorus was like an avalanche of slate. Their darts, hurled stones, and javelins striking the silk screen made it ripple like water; however, this did not affect the visibility nearly so much as seeing through water would.
Number One was about to point out one of the beasts, when there was a sharp clink, and one of the floodlights blinked and flickered, no doubt struck by one of the gluckast projectiles (these were not great cat's eyes, but of some yet larger, reptilian creature). When Number One again found the one she had chosen, she pointed.
"There, is with the broken horn on his head, the left side. That one is my brother. I like him more than my mother."
"Do you wish to leave before we begin?" the SAC asked. She said simply, "No."
SAC Gharial gave his orders - the blackness returned, and was perforated with gunfire (the bullets peering from the goblin-arm-wielded guns could see in the dark).
An oblong cage rolled on wheels through the left-hand barricade. This cage's operation could not clearly be seen, but Gibbsen knew it well: its open end was mounted with several long appendages, like cougars' tails but at least twice as long. These pulled it forward, and it would snare the limb of a gluckast, holding it to be shot, or catch hold of any that came to succour the first. This it carried on until it reached Number One's brother, when it employed all its arms to drag the creature inside the cage and immobilise it. Cables hooked to the rear of the cage began to draw it back to the barricade.
A gluckast managed to evade the wall guns, and charge the silk screen with an axe. On the inside Gareth walked to meet it, and when within five yards he put a rifle bullet between the beast's eyes. The silk had followed the bullet the entire way, and when the fiend stumbled to the ground, the light from the bay glinted off the bullet, dangling from the exit wound in a transparent bubble of the silk amidst the hair and scales. The great ripple was still spreading across the screen. Gareth's lips, grey as gun-smoke, did not move in the slightest smile.
The survivors became disgusted with the contest, and made off, cursing and gnashing their fangs over their shoulders as they went.
Yet the battle did not feel over, as the caged prisoner, shrieking and yammering, was now inside the barricade. It was a frightening thing, though the gluckast was enveloped in iron bars and pinioned by many living ropes. SAC Gharial's horse wheels carried him across the bay towards the loud cage, with Number One and Gareth and Gibbsen behind him.
"Now," he said with simplicity in the midst of the tumult, "let us see what we have for Dr. Kilver."

Prayer -- Day 8
Confess
“Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective”. (James 5:16)
How can your prayers be powerful and effective? You need only do three things: confess your faults, pray with kindred spirits (even if separated by distance) and enthusiastically believe.
