Predestination Keeps Perfect Time

Commenting on God's sovereign schedule in the hour of the arrest, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus, Klaas Schilder says,

"He allowed neither the forces above nor the forces below to tamper with the clock of history. He directed the battles of Caesars, the conflicts of kings, the migration of peoples, the world wars, the courses of stars and sun and moon, the change of epochs, and the complex movements of all things in the world in such a way that this hour would come and had to come."

Frederick Leahy adds...

"Yet as he prayed in the very shadow of the cross, Christ saw his death as the means to true glory, and he saw his own glory closely connected with that of his Father. Indeed they merged into one."

~ The Cross He Bore (p.25 & 28)
