In the time of Jesus, Jerusalem represented God's rule and hope for the nations. As Jesus approached Jerusalem, he fulfilled Old Testament prophecies by riding in humbly on a donkey. The temple, though meant to symbolize God's presence and character, became an ugly misrepresentation of God. Jesus fulfilled and embodied many Old Testament symbols as he rode into Jerusalem.
