The stunning accuracy of prophecy in the Bible gives an authority to the Scriptures that no other written document can match. Many prophetic passages in Scripture are very precise, but the fulfillment of Daniel 9:24-27, particularly with regard to the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem provide no margin of error and was fulfilled to the very day! Having spent most of His ministry resisting being presented as the “Messiah, the King”, Jesus then carefully arranges this very event to declare that He was in fact the Saviour of the world!
Here is an article by Chuck Missler which looks at this in more detail:

This is a short audio description of this prophecy by John MacArthur:
Just as OT prophecy was literally and precisely fulfilled, we have no doubt that God will also literally and precisely fulfill the prophecies that relates to the end times. We have a responsibility to be ready as we have been warned before the event.
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7)
