  • This morning I invite you to take a journey with me. We are going to relive the journey down the Mount of Olives with Jesus as he descended into Jerusalem and proclaimed Himself to be the Messiah. Along the way we are also going to journey back to the OT and see the prophetical significance of the Triumphal Entry.
    Shall we begin?
    Luke 18:31 ESV
    31 And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.
    Everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.
    What prophetic events were written about the Son of Man concerning the triumphal entry? How did Jesus prove, beyond any doubt, that He is the Messiah by fulfilling everything that was written?
    Luke 19:28–29 ESV
    28 And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
    Luke 19:30 ESV
    30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here.
    Here the omniscience of Jesus, the divine/man, the Son of David and the Son of Man, the Messiah, is on full display!
    Luke 19:31 ESV
    31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’ ”
    Luke 19:32–33 ESV
    32 So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
    Luke 19:34 ESV
    34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.”
    Why did Jesus need to ride into Jerusalem upon the colt of a donkey?
    Zechariah 9:9 ESV
    9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
    “This does not mean, surely, that to ride into Jerusalem on a colt would by itself prove Jesus to be the Messianic King; for any imposter might have thus come into the city. But it does mean that Jesus, who had already by undeniably miraculous signs proven His Messiahship, was careful to fulfil down to the last physical detail all the predications concerning His arrival in Jersualem as King of Israel.” —Alva J. McClain (The Greatness of the Kingdom)
    Luke 19:35–36 ESV
    35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.
    Luke 19:37 ESV
    37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,
    What mighty works? Feeding of the multitudes, the healing of the blind, the deaf, the lame, and the diseased, the raising of the dead—all of these things were predicted in the prophets in connection with the coming of the Messianic King.
    Isaiah 35:5–6 ESV
    5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; 6 then shall the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing for joy. For waters break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert;
    Isaiah 26:19 ESV
    19 Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead.
    Here is more prophecy that Jesus fulfilled on that day… As Jesus was riding into Jerusalem the people began to praise him. What they said is prophetically significant.
    Luke 19:38 ESV
    38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
    Matthew 21:9 ESV
    9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
    Mark 11:10 ESV
    10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
    John 12:13 ESV
    13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”
    The people are shouting the words of a Messianic Psalm. They are proclaiming Jesus to be the promised Messianic King.
    Psalm 118:22 ESV
    22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
    Do these words sound familiar? Jesus claimed these words for himself later on the passion week. Jesus is the stone that Israel rejected. This is a Messianic Psalm!
    Psalm 118:23–26 ESV
    23 This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save us, we pray, O Lord! O Lord, we pray, give us success! 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We bless you from the house of the Lord.
    And the Pharisees know exactly what is going on!
    Luke 19:39 ESV
    39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
    Had Jesus rebuked his disciples in the past when they tried to proclaim Him as the Messiah? Yes! Many times. But on that day something was different.
    Luke 19:40 ESV
    40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
    This was time! Jesus’s hour was drawing near. Now Jesus openly and publicly proclaims to be the Messiah. There cannot be any doubt in the minds of the Jews!
    Then we get to the most remarkable fulfillment of prophecy in the whole of the Triumphal Entry!
    Luke 19:41–44 ESV
    41 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42 saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
    What is the significance of “this day”? The day of Jesus’s Triumphal entry was not random. The Jews should have known why “this day” was important. They should have know that the Triumphal entry was “the time of your visitation.”
    Why? Because God told them exactly the day it would happen in the OT!
    Did you know that? God prophesied, down to the day, the exact time the Messiah would visit Jerusalem? The Bible predicts the day five hundred years in advance. Does that sound incredible to you?
    Where do we find such a prophecy?
    Daniel 9:1–2 ESV
    1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, by descent a Mede, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans— 2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.
    Where is Daniel when he writes this prophecy? He is in Babylon! Why is Daniel in Babylon? Because in 586 B.C. what happens? Jersualem is destroyed (2 Chron. 36:17-21).
    Daniel is now an old man living in captivity in Babylon. But we know that Daniel is a godly man. He was a man of spiritual disciplines! He prayed three times a day, even when his life was in danger.
    Apparently Daniel was also a faithful student of his Bible. He was studying the book of Jeremiah and realized something very important.
    Jeremiah 25:11 ESV
    11 This whole land shall become a ruin and a waste, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
    God prophesied through Jeremiah that Jerusalem would be conquered by Babylon and they would be held in captivity for 70 years. Daniel realizes that the 70 years are up. So he begins to pray! He prays and confesses his own sins and the sins of the Israelites so that God could bless them and restore them to their homeland.
    Daniel 9:18–19 ESV
    18 O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.”
    God answered Daniels’ prayer.
    Daniel 9:20–23 ESV
    20 While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the Lord my God for the holy hill of my God, 21 while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you insight and understanding. 23 At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word and understand the vision.
    Then in vv. 24-27 the angel Gabriel gave Daniel an very significant vision or prophecy.
    Daniel 9:24–27 ESV
    24 “Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place. 25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks (and sixty-two weeks.) It shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
    Now, this is an important prophecy. It unlocks for us a significant hermetical lens to view the book of Revelation. But it also gives us awesome confidence in the supernatural nature of the Bible. Once you understand Gabriel's vision to Daniel in these four verses I don’t know how anyone can walk away not believing in the divine inspiration of the Bible.
    In order to understand Daniel’s prophecy and how it relates to the Triumphal entry we need to answer several important questions.

    I. What is the measure of time indicated by “weeks” in the prophecy?

    In Daniel 9:24-27 the word “weeks” is used five times. What kind of weeks are they? To our English minds when we see the word “weeks” we assume the measure of time is a period of seven days.
    Daniel 9:24 ESV
    24 “Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.
    Now if you understand seventy weeks as a period of 70x7 days or 490 days Daniel’s prophecy make little sense. It is important to understand that seventy weeks is not talking about days but years.
    When Gabriel told Daniel Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, he meant 70 weeks of years or 70x7 years or 490 years (not days).
    How do we know that weeks is speaking about years and not days? This is an important question. We cannot make the text say what we want it to say. We must discover from the context that weeks is talkin in terms of years and not days?

    1. The Hebrew term is (שָׁבוּעַ) shabua

    This term literally means “seven”
    We could translate v. 24 this way.
    Daniel 9:24 ESV
    24 “Seventy sevens are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.
    What the “sevens” refer to must be determined by context.
    Context Clues

    2. Daniel is already thinking in terms of years from the context.

    Daniel 9:1–2 “1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, by descent a Mede, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans— 2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.”

    3. Daniel understood that the very length of Babylonian captivity had been based on the Jewish violations of the Sabbatical year.

    2 Chronicles 36:19–21 ESV
    19 And they burned the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem and burned all its palaces with fire and destroyed all its precious vessels. 20 He took into exile in Babylon those who had escaped from the sword, and they became servants to him and to his sons until the establishment of the kingdom of Persia, 21 to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. All the days that it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
    The Jews were removed from the land for 70 years. Why? Because the land needed 70 years of rest. This was the law of the Sabbatical rest for the land.
    Exodus 23:10–11 ESV
    10 “For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield, 11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the beasts of the field may eat. You shall do likewise with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
    The law stated that every seventh year the people were to let it rest. What does that mean? Let the land lie fallow (uncultivated). They were not to plant any crops on the land every seven years.
    Evidently, the people of Isreal had to be removed from the land for 70 years so the land could rest. That means for the las 490 years the people had violated God’s law of Sabbatical rest for the land.
    Daniel 9:24 ESV
    24 “Seventy sevens are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.
    Gabriel came and told Daniel that the start of God’s new era of dealing with the Jews would extend for the same number of years that covered the violations of the Sabbatical year, that is, another cycle of 490 years, or seventy sevens of years.
    This is what Gabriel is saying to Daniel. Daniel God is going to deal with the Jewish people and here is the timeline. God is going to finish the transgression of the Jews, he is going to end their sin, and atone for their iniquity, and finally he is going to bring in everlasting righteousness. And all of this is going to take another cycle of 490 years, or exactly seventy “sevens” of years.

    4. The context of the prophecy demands seventy “sevens” of years not days

    One of the things that will happen in this prophecy is that Jerusalem will be rebuilt and then once more destroyed. If seventy sevens were referring to days how could Jersualem be rebuilt and then destroyed once again in 490 days? It must be a longer period of time. Context demands we think in seventy sevens of years and not days.

    5. The other use of the Hebrew term shabua in Daniel argues for years and not days

    The word shabua is used one other time in the book of Daniel.
    Daniel 10:2–3 ESV
    2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks. 3 I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks.
    What kind of weeks are we talking about here? Days of years? Cleary this is days. It is impossible for Daniel to fast for 21 years!
    What is significant is the Hebrew.
    The Hebrew literally reads, “three sevens of days.” In Daniel 10 the word “days” is added to the text to show that three sevens meant three weeks. But in order to show that the word days was added for clarity.
    But the word “days” does not appear in Dan. 9 24
    Daniel 9:24 ESV
    24 “Seventy sevens are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.
    Why? “The quite obvious answer is that Daniel used the Hebrew shabua alone when referring to the well-know “week” of years, a customary usage which every Jew would understand.”
    In order to understand Daniel’s prophecy and how it relates to the Triumphal entry we need to answer several important questions.
    We must understand that the prophecy is concerned with a time frame of 490 years not days.

    II. How long were “years” in Daniel’s day?

    How many years are in our calendar year? 365.
    How many years were in Daniel’s calendar year? Not 365, but 360.
    How do we know this?

    1. Because of the length of the Flood

    Genesis 7:11 ESV
    11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.
    Here we have the start date of the flood. The flood began on the 17th day of the second month.
    When did the flood end?
    Genesis 8:4 ESV
    4 and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
    The 17th day of the seventh month. So the flood lasted exactly five months. Why is that important?
    Genesis 7:24 ESV
    24 And the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days.
    Genesis 8:3 ESV
    3 and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had abated,
    If you take 5 months and dived that by 150 days you get 30 days. So the Biblical calendar consisted of 12 months each having 30 days. How many days is that? 360 days.
    How do we know that this is the still the calendar Daniel was using? Daniel lived many centuries after the flood.

    2. Because of the length of the Tribulation

    Daniel 9:27 ESV
    27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
    Daniel 9 27 makes a reference to a price who is to come. This prince who is to come in the future and make a covenant with Israel of one “seven” or seven years is the future antichrist of the book of Revelation.
    Notice it says that the antichrist will make a strong covenant with many for one seven or seven years. But at the half way point, 3.5 years, the antichrist will break that covenant with Israel.
    We find this event further described in the book of Revelation.
    Revelation 13:4–5 ESV
    4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” 5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.
    Revelation 12:13–14 ESV
    13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
    A time (year), and times (2 years), and half a time (.5 years). That is in the middle of the seven year covenant the antichrist would break that covenant of peace and pursue Israel, but God would protect Israel in the wilderness for 3.5 years. 3.5 years is the same as 42 months (Rev. 13:5).
    Revelation 12:6 ESV
    6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.
    Here the same period of time is described. But instead of 42 months or 3.5 years the text gives us the number of days. 1,260 days = 42 months = 3.5 years. If you do the math guess what? 1260/3.5=360.
    Daniels’ prophecy is directly linked to the prophecy in Revelation thus showing that Daniel was using a calendar year of 360 days.
    In order to understand Daniel’s prophecy and how it relates to the Triumphal entry we need to answer several important questions.
    We must understand that the prophecy is concerned with a time frame of 490 years not days.
    2. We must understand that the prophecy was using a calendar year of 360 days.

    III. When did the time period for the seventy “sevens” begin?

    Daniel 9:24 ESV
    24 “Seventy weeks (sevens) are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.
    Isreal had rebelled against God. God had given Israel over the the Babylonian Empire. After 70 years of captivity the nation of Israel would be set free from captivity.
    But now God tells Daniel that there would be another cycle of 490 years before everything is made fully whole. There would be 490 years before Isreal would be back in her land, before she would be ruled by the Messiah, before there would be everlasting righteousness.
    When does this period of 490 years begin?
    Daniel 9:25 ESV
    25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks (and sixty-two weeks.) It shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.
    Daniel 9:25 CSB
    25 Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until an Anointed One, the ruler, will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat, but in difficult times.
    When will it start? From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Now this is important. Gabriel does not mean the decree to rebuild the temple. That happened earlier on in the history of the nation (See Ezra 1) at the Decree of Cyrus in 538 B.C.
    Gabriel specifically says the decree is to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Look at the end of the verse- “It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat, but in difficult times.”
    The decree to rebuild the city of Jerusalem is found in the Book of Nehemiah.
    Read Nehemiah 1:1-4 and 2:1-8.
    Nehemiah 2:5 ESV
    5 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ graves, that I may rebuild it.”
    May rebuild it (in context is the entire city) including the walls that were burnt down.
    Most helpfully for our discussion Nehemiah records the exact date of the decree.
    Nehemiah 2:1 ESV
    1 In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.
    It is a well documented event in history that Artaxerxes ascended to the throne in 465 B.C. and that would make the twentieth year of his reign 445 B.C.
    If you convert the Jewish calendar to our calendar the start date of the prophecy is March 14, 445 B.C.
    This is the beginning date of Daniel’s seventy weeks of years.
    In order to understand Daniel’s prophecy and how it relates to the Triumphal entry we need to answer several important questions.
    We must understand that the prophecy is concerned with a time frame of 490 years not days.
    2. We must understand that the prophecy was using a calendar year of 360 days.
    3. We must understand that the beginning of the seventy weeks of years is clearly noted as march 14, 445 B.C.

    IV. When did the first 69 weeks of years end and what happened on that date?

    Daniel 9:25 CSB
    25 Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until an Anointed One, the ruler, will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat, but in difficult times.
    What is Daniel to understand?
    From the issuing of the decree to rebuild the city of Jerusalem which was March, 14th 445 B.C. there would be seven weeks and sixty two weeks.
    How many weeks from the decree? 7 + 62 weeks = what? 69 weeks.
    So in 69 weeks of years or 476 years from the decree in Nehemiah 2 something significant would happen.
    What is the significant event?
    An Anointed One, the ruler, would come.
    Anyone want to guess what the Hebrew word for Anointed One is? מָשִׁיחַ Mashiah or Messiah!
    Around 500 years before the coming of Messiah to Isreal, God predicted down to the day, the exact date of the Triumphal entry.
    If you do the math here is what you come up with.
    69 x 7 x 360 = 173,880 days
    Beginning Date: March 14th, 445 B.C.
    173,880 days
    End Date: April 6th, 32 A.D.
    April 6th, 32 A.D. was the tenth of Nisan, that momentous day on which our Lord, in fulfilling Messianic prophecy, rode up to Jerusalem on the colt of donkey and offered Himself as the Prince or King of Israel!
    This is why Jesus wept on that day.
    Luke 19:41–42 ESV
    41 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42 saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
    What day? The day fixed in Daniel’s prophecy! This was the day God promised to send Israel their Messiah. On this day their Messiah would reveal himself as “Prince” on the exact 173,880th day of the prophecy!
    Luke 19:43–44 ESV
    43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

    Implications:

    The Bible is the inspired Word of God and Christianity is absolutely true!

    The exact fulfillment of this prophecy is sufficient to demonstrate the accuracy of Daniel and also by implication the inspiration of the Bible and the truth of Christianity. Only God could predict something like this
    Isaiah 46:9–10 ESV
    9 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’

    Jesus Christ is the divine Messiah promised in the Old Testament

    After reading Luke 19 and Daniel 9 and understanding all of the prophecy that Jesus fulfilled, how can you come to any other conclusion!
    Luke 18:31 ESV
    31 And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.
    But the triumphal entry wasn’t the only writing of the prophets that Jesus fulfilled!
    Luke 18:32–33 ESV
    32 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon. 33 And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise.”
    Come to our Good Friday and Easter concert to hear more about these verses. For now I want to point this out. It is crucial to believe in Jesus the Messiah!
    Daniel also speaks about this!
    Daniel 9:26 ESV
    26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing.
    After the period of seven weeks and sixty two weeks, that is after the 69 weeks of years, Messiah will present himself to Israel as their coming King. But shortly after the very same Anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. This is a prophecy of the death of the Messiah. We know that Jesus the Messiah, was delivered over to the Gentiles, that he was mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon, that he was flogged, and finally that they crucified Him on a Calvary’s cross. Why?
    Luke 19:10 ESV
    10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
    My friend, do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe he is who he claimed to be? Are you convinced from the evidence you have seen this morning? Jesus is seeking you! He wants to save you! You are lost. You are lost in your sins and you are destined for hell, but Jesus, the divine Messiah, who died for you, can save you. Will you believe in Him?

    Jesus Christ, the divine Messiah, is coming again!

    So far we have only seen 69 weeks of Daniel’s prophecy come to fruition. But what about the seventieth week?
    Daniel 9:24 ESV
    24 “Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.
    What about the part where the Messiah brings in everlasting righteousness?
    We are still waiting for that to take place!
    There is a gap between Daniel’s 69th week and 70th week. That gap is called the church age.
    We don’t have time this morning to demonstrate that from the Scriptures. But that is our reality.

    If the reliability of the Scripture is so certain, so secure in relation to the first presentation of the Messiah, we should be no less certain about the second presentation of the Messiah!
    Revelation 19:11 ESV
    11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
    Brothers and Sisters do you hold this as absolutely true?
    Is the second coming of Jesus your ultimate reality? Is this the north your compass points to?
    Even so Come Lord Jesus!
