The Prophetic Significance of Palm Sunday

The significance of what we have come to call Palm Sunday cannot be overestimated as a major prophetic event in the Bible. This is the day, a week before the Passover which was the day our Lord Jesus was crucified. It is one day that was prophecied in the Scripture that would be fulfilled by the Messiah Himself.
Jesus knew that His arrival on this one particular day was so important and prophecied in Scripture. He was not going to let the people make Him their King until the exact time that was given the Scripture had arrived. He had arranged all things pertaining to His arrival in Jerusalem in order to cause the Scriptures which He wrote to be fulfilled exactly as they were given. None of the prophecied aspects of His arrival would be omitted or the timing of His arrival be off the prophecy. He would enter Jerusalem exactly the date when the Scriptures prophecied.
