According to the angel of God, once the decree to rebuild Jerusalem went forth, God’s people would know for certain that the Messiah would be in Israel in 483 years. This is a fascinating prophecy that opens scripture and indisputably points to Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
God told His people the exact year and even the day in which He would present Himself as their king. The Bible warns, “to whom much is given, much is required”, so because they refused Him knowing that the time was at hand, God held Israel accountable.
