Matthew 21:1-11 - Revelation 19:11-16, some explanation
In Matthew people lay their garments on the ground that will be walked on by Jesus' donkey and possibly other people, which would get them dirty. Getting their clothes dirty for Jesus may refer to us getting stained by the sins of the world here on Earth. His disciples take some of their clothes and put them on the donkey for Jesus to sit on.
In Revelation Jesus has on some clothes that have been dipped in blood. This refers to Jesus' crucifixion and possibly the blood of His martyrs. Those that follow him have on clothes that are white and clean, rather than being walked on or bloody.
Both Matthew and Revelation state that people are following Jesus. In Matthew the people are following praising Jesus and in Revelation the people are following to make war.
In Matthew words come out of the people's mouths praising God; Jesus says nothing. In Revelation a sword is coming out of Jesus' mouth and His followers say nothing.
In Matthew the donkeys walk through the streets of Jerusalem.
In Revelation the horse treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of God.
In Matthew people identify Jesus as Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
In Revelation Jesus has a name no one knows but himself and the name KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
