When did Jesus come to earth?

The phrase 'in the fullness of time' from Galatians 4:4 implies that Jesus entered the world at the precise moment ordained by God. This was a time established in eternity, in which all prophecies and the history of God's people converged for the arrival of the Messiah. The meticulous timing illustrates God’s sovereignty and the climax of His redemptive plan. By coming at this designated time, Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament, underscoring the significance of His mission and the need for His arrival in human history.
