In the Fullness of Time
But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son Galatians 4:4 The events of history moved according to an invisible sequence of order, known only to the Creator of heaven and earth, the God of this Universe.

Exodus 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
