Chris.
At the correct time God sent His Son. This is something that every True Believer is convinced about. Jesus Christ came at the correct time, fulfilling all the Scriptures prophesying about Him. At the Correct time Jesus Christ will come again. This is something that we anticipate. We do not know when but we have assurance that this event will happen.
