Daniel: The Future Foretold

May 25, 2026    Pastor Steve Finley

What if I told you that 500 years before Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the prophet Daniel predicted the exact day He would arrive? 


In the book of Daniel, we discover some of the most stunning prophecies in all of Scripture. From Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a great statue to Daniel's vision of beasts and kingdoms, God reveals His sovereign plan over human history. But here's the breathtaking part: Daniel 9 tells us that from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem's walls to the coming of Messiah would be exactly 173,880 days. Do the math—it lands on April 6, 32 AD, the day Jesus entered Jerusalem as the Passover Lamb.


Daniel saw it all: kingdoms rising and falling, an Antichrist to come, and ultimately Jesus returning to establish His eternal kingdom. The message? Even though trouble is coming, Jesus has already won. He came to end transgression, to reconcile us to God, and He's coming back to reign forever.


This is Jesus in the Old Testament—undeniable, prophetic, victorious.
