Chapter 31 - YOUR KING IS COMING

Continued from Chapter 30 (Zechariah 9:9) The prophet Zechariah declares: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, your king is coming to you, he is just and has been saved, humble, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of a she-ass” (Zechariah 9:9). The Synoptic Gospels say that this prophecy was fulfilled when Jesus sent two of his disciples to fetch the animal that was to carry him into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:2-7, Mark 11:2-7, Luke 19:30-35).

Where Esebeius Comes To Play In The Christian Trinity

Continued from Part 28 Eusebius, who supported the orthodox trinitarian position, was present at the Council of Nicaea and was involved in the debates concerning whether Jesus was part of the essence of God or a creation of God. If the manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew that he used read “in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” and thus could be used to support the trinitarian position, he would not have quoted it so frequently as “in my name.”  Thus, it can be assu
