Remarkable
Mark 11:1-11
Zechariah 9:10
The remarkable entrance fulfilled prophecy
Big Idea:
The remarkable entrance pointed to peace.
- 69 weeks=483 yrs
- Artaxerxes decreed to Nehemiah March 5, 444BC
- 483 yrs x 360 days back then=173,880 and you get March 30, 33AD...the exact day Jesus rode into Jerusalem.
I will submit to who Jesus really is.
He will proclaim peace to the nations. His rule will extend from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit.
Jesus' purpose was peace between God and people
The blood of Jesus sets captives free...that's good news
Romans 5:1--we have peace with God through Jesus.
Daniel 9:25
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…then for 62 weeks it shall be built again…
Zechariah 9:9
The Remarkable Entrance was an opportunity.
1. an opportunity to submit
rejoice greatly O daughter of Zion, shout daughter of Jerusalem. See your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, humble and riding on a donkey, on a foal, the colt of a donkey
2. an opportunity to miss
Upside down Kingdom
Don't Miss the Opportunity
The King comes to us!
Ezekiel 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove from you your heart of stone.
