- Zechariah 9:9, describing the Messiah entering Jerusalem on the colt of a donkey
- Zechariah 14:4, naming the Mount of Olives as significant in God’s work of salvation and judgment.
- Psalm 118:25-27, noting that Jesus quotes from v22-23 in chapter 12.
- Micah 7:1-6, describing Israel as a fig tree and God looking for fruit but finding none.
- Isaiah 56:7, the Temple as a house of prayer for all nations
- Jeremiah 7:11, judgment upon those who have made the temple a den of robbers
Day 2: (v12-19) The King Approaches, and he will bring an end to the old ways.
Day 3: (v20-33) The King Approaches, so will you delight in his reign?
