Palm Sunday

"But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons." (Galatians 4:4-5)NKJV

The prophet Daniel predicted the exact day that the Messiah would ride triumphantly into Jerusalem, Daniel 9:25: "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks..."

"Weeks" here are defined as 7 year periods or 483 years. Sir Robert Anderson, in his book, "The Coming Prince," documents that the fulfillment of Daniel's prophesy began with the command of Artaxerxes on March 14, 445 BC (Nehemiah 2) to Nehemiah to restore and re-build Jerusalem. And that 173,880 days later (483 years)on April 6 AD 32, Jesus Christ made His Triumphal entry Jerusalem.

God sent His Son at exactly the right time, to the very day He declared.
