As we enter into the year 2024, I am reminded of another entrance … the entrance that changed human history.
Mark 11 1 As they approached Jerusalem … Jesus sent two of his disciples,2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there … 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it.8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields.9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,”Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
Jesus declared Himself King.
As you read the gospels, Jesus tells those close to Him “my time has not yet come” many times.
But on this day, He orchestrates His entrance.
And it is much more complicated than you might imagine.
Daniel knew this:
Daniel 9 25 “Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.
Referencing Chuck Misssler and Koinonia House, I share the following information:
On March 14, 445 B.C., the decree came out to restore and rebuild, and 173,880 days later, on April 6, 32 A.D., Jesus entered Jerusalem.

Daniel knew that Jesus was coming.
He knew when Jesus was coming.
And on the day that Daniel said that He was coming, Jesus showed up and declared Himself King.
Our God is not off of our timeline. He is not late and He is not unaware of the battles before you.
As you go about your days in 2024 make sure that His entrance into Jerusalem is the most important event … make sure that His entrance into your life IS …
Because He … is our only hope.
In The Name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
