Why did Christ come at exactly the right time in history?
Christ came at the exact right time because it was fixed by the predetermined counsel of God. History would not have worked out rightly had He come a hundred years sooner or later. His coming and crucifixion were foreknown and planned by the Godhead before creation.
Les teaches that history unfolded according to the predetermined counsel of God. The Redeemer was promised immediately after the fall in Genesis chapter 3 and then prophesied all the way up through the Old Testament. One day Christ came on the exact right moment in time; nothing would have worked out right if He had come a hundred years sooner or a hundred years later. His crucifixion and slaying were foreknown and belonged to the predetermined plan of the ages, way back before anything was ever created. Les notes that everything has been right on schedule, and the Lord's coming will not be an hour late or an hour early.
