These rides are significant in various biblical narratives, symbolizing status, divine intervention, or fulfilling prophetic events.<br><br><b>1. Donkeys:</b><br><br>Donkeys are frequently mentioned as a common mode of transportation in biblical times. They were used by individuals of all social standings, from common people to kings. In the Old Testament, donkeys are often associated with peace and humility. For instance, in <a href="/genesis/22-3.htm">Genesis 22:3</a>, Abraham saddles his donkey to travel to the land of Moriah for the sacrifice of Isaac. In the New Testament, Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem is marked by His ride on a donkey, fulfilling the prophecy in <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a>: "Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey."<br><br><b>2. Horses:</b><br><br>Horses in the Bible are often associated with war and power. They were used in chariots and by cavalry, symbolizing strength and military might. In the book of Revelation, horses are depicted in apocalyptic visions, representing various divine judgments. <a href="/revelation/6-2.htm">Revelation 6:2</a> describes a rider on a white horse: "So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer."<br><br><b>3. Camels:</b><br><br>Camels were essential for long-distance travel and trade, especially in desert regions. They are mentioned in the context of wealth and commerce. In <a href="/genesis/24-10.htm">Genesis 24:10</a>, Abraham's servant takes ten camels to Mesopotamia to find a wife for Isaac, indicating the wealth and status of Abraham's household. Camels are also part of the narrative of the Magi visiting Jesus, as they likely traveled on camels to bring gifts from the East.<br><br><b>4. Chariots:</b><br><br>Chariots are a symbol of military strength and are frequently mentioned in the context of battles. The Egyptians famously pursued the Israelites with chariots during the Exodus (<a href="/exodus/14-6.htm">Exodus 14:6-7</a>). In <a href="/2_kings/2-11.htm">2 Kings 2:11</a>, Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind accompanied by a chariot of fire, signifying divine intervention and the prophet's departure from earthly life.<br><br><b>5. Symbolic Rides:</b><br><br>Rides in the Bible can also have symbolic meanings. For example, the ride of the four horsemen in Revelation represents different aspects of divine judgment. The imagery of riding is used to convey messages of power, authority, and the unfolding of God's plan.<br><br>Throughout the Bible, rides serve as more than mere transportation; they are integral to the unfolding of God's narrative, illustrating themes of humility, power, prophecy, and divine intervention.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/7392.htm"><span class="l">7392. rakab -- to mount and ride, ride</span></a><br><b>...</b> 1), harness (1), horseman* (2), lead (1), led (1), mounted (4), pace (1), placed<br> (1), put (2), ridden (2), ride (17), rider (7), riders (5), <b>rides</b> (5), riding <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/7392.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/wesley/the_journal_of_john_wesley/wesley_rides_ninety_miles.htm"><span class="l">Wesley <b>Rides</b> Ninety Miles</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Chapter 8.
