Spiritual truth on why Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on a donkey

All the donkeys attributes are made for Gods glory.

I'll stick with the fulfillment of prophesy about the triumphal entry.

Matthew 21:4
All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

Zachariah 9:9
“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.

Yes, of course the Lord uses animals for ordained purposes. He uses people and objects as well. Donkeys are also very adaptable to the climate of the near east regions.

All the donkeys attributes are made for Gods glory.
They are good workers.Good pack mules for the Lord.
Big ears to hear his voice.
Big nose to smell his presence.
Strong back legs with a deadly kick.Perfect for standing strong for him.
Their eyes are capable of seeing what's in front of them.Donkeys love their masters and will follow him.
These are attributes of the 12 Apostles and what the 144,000 will have.We have the power too.
Have you made a ass of yourself when the lord gave you signet ring in his absence?.We all have.Nobodies perfect.

I'm making the sign of the Ark of the Covenant, with the hands God made,in his image.Now I'm placing the one who's the head of the Church on his mercy seat.
Who's the donkey now?! still me.
So I'll use this fresh donkey jawbone like Samson did and slay many upon many.Thousand's hopefully, at the least.
For his glory.He will raise them up from the dead if they believed.

The colt has his place too.

Zecharia 9:9
9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto
thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

It was to be lowly.

Amen. Not as a warrior King, which they wanted.
