Galatians 4:4-5 King James Version (KJV)

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.


Galatians 4:4-5 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

4 but when the appointed time arrived, God sent forth his Son. He was born from a woman, born into a culture in which legalistic perversion of the Torah was the norm, 5 so that he might redeem those in subjection to this legalism and thus enable us to be made God’s sons.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.


4 When the time was right Jesus came, people most likely had been looking for the Messiah prior because they thought John was the Messiah but he only came to lead the way for the Lord’s coming. Jesus was born of a woman thru the virgin birth, God became in the likeness of man and He fulfilled the law, He completed the law because none of us could or can.


5 Thru the law we are found guilty of the payment of judgment due to our debt of sin, thru Christ’s death that debt has been paid. We are now able to become children of God by become siblings to Jesus by our faith. We no longer live for the keeping of the law but live for our Lord Jesus.

Why then?

As when God kept Israel out of the Promised Land until those people earned destruction, I believe it was at that time Israel earned disowning as Covenant nation.

Also when Rome was in decline, Gentiles were in a state where they would listen and some other things.

As well, the Father had his OT Wife, Israel and it was time to give Gentiles their role as Bride. And the Second Person his role as King, Savior and husband.

It was a needed time for a reset of God's plan to give Man another couple of thousand years for the Church to live out its life cycle on the earth.

Truly a testament how God can bring so much good out of so much chaos and evil.
