Every thing or any thing God is doing is perfectly arranged under His divine timing because He is God of plan and purpose. He told Abraham about the future of his descendants, of how they would suffer and be in bondage in a foreign land at the fullness of time. He, God would liberate them. Verse 4 and 5 of our text say... "But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His son made of a woman under the law to redeem them that are under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons".  In this same vein, God gave a promise after the fall of man in the Garden of Eden concerning the seed of the woman i.e Messiah.  Eventually, God kept to His promise at the fullness of time, as He sent the deliverer to the hum
