The Perfect Timing of God’s Plan
"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law," - Galatians 4:4
Galatians 4:4 (KJV) states, "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law."

The Jewish people were yearning for a Messiah, yet this longing existed amidst a backdrop of oppression and disillusionment.

He sees the complete tapestry that unfolds over time, understanding the significance and consequences of every thread that is woven. The fullness of time had to include a world ready, not only for a Savior but also for His message of grace and salvation.
