The Talmud (Berakot 56b–57a) declares that seeing an donkey in a dream gives hope for Yeshua (salvation) and the Messiah who comes lowly and riding upon an ass, as written in Zechariah 9:9.
Berakot 56b states: “If one sees an ass in a dream, he may hope for salvation {Yeshua}, as it says, Behold thy king cometh unto thee; he is triumphant and victorious, lowly and riding upon an ass” (Zechariah 9:9). Berakot 57a adds: “If one sees a choice vine, he may look forward to seeing the Messiah, since it says, Binding his foal unto the vine and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine” (Genesis 49:11, understood as referring to the Messiah). These texts connect the dream of an ass with the hope of Yeshua (salvation) and the coming of the King who rides upon an ass, as fulfilled in Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem.
Yeshua=Messiah in the Talmud
Berakot 56b
If one sees an ass in a dream, he may hope for salvation {Yeshua}, as it says, Behold thy king cometh unto thee; he is triumphant and victorious, lowly and riding upon an ass.(44 – Zech. IX, 9.)
Berakot 57a
If one sees a choice vine, he may look forward to seeing the Messiah, since it says, Binding his foal unto the vine and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine.(18 -Gen. XLIX, 11. This verse is supposed to refer to the Messiah).
Zec 9:9 Rejoice 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.
Joh 12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Joh 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Joh 12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
Joh 12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
