“Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:”
He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes. The abundance of the coming king — vineyards so plentiful that donkeys are tied to vines, wine so abundant it becomes laundry water — is the covenant image of a prosperity beyond normal expectation. Zechariah 9:9 anticipates the king coming on a donkey; Matthew 21:5 applies it to Jesus. The application: the king whose abundance is described in images of overflowing wine is the king who will make wine flow beyond what any vineyard has ever produced.
