"But when the fullness of the time had come,
God sent forth His Son, born of a woman,
born under the law.:

Bill Watterson of the Calvin and Hobbes fame wrote:
“Reality continues to ruin my life.” While that makes for
a humorous quote, it is not a recipe for successful
living.
Nonetheless, many people have chosen to deny the reality of the
prophetic chronology of Daniel’s Seventy Weeks (Daniel 9:24-27)
especially as it pertains to the identity of the Jewish Messiah,
Jesus Christ (verse 26).
Daniel prophesied that there would be 483 years (69 weeks of
seven years each) between Persian king’s permission
to rebuild
Jerusalem and the appearance of the Anointed One, the Messiah.
Many biblical scholars worked out the details of this chronology
and found it to be accurate.
That means that the appearance of Christ came in “the fullness
of the time” (Galatians 4:4). Jesus Himself said at
the beginning
of His ministry, “The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is at
hand” (Mark 1:15). Christ’s birth, ministry, death, and resurrection
were based on God’s prophetic calendar.
Never doubt God’s timing for events in your life.
Your days have been ordered by Him (Psalm 139:16).
"God’s plan will continue on God’s schedule."
