A question lurks in the background of our Galatians text when Paul says “the time was right.” And, this is my question today. How did God know or determine when the time was right? How was everything put in place and ready for His Son to come? The prophets couldn’t say when – just like we cannot say when the world will end.  So, I wonder, did things get so bad that God needed to intervene then and there? Can this be? I mean, things were equally bad before, no?  When is God's time the right time?
