God's Appointed Time
Commentators explain that the "set time" refers to a specific, divinely appointed moment for God to show mercy. Many connect this to the end of the 70-year Babylonian captivity, highlighting God's faithfulness to His promises. This verse is a powerful reminder that God's plans are not haphazard; He has a perfect, predetermined time to act in mercy for His people, rooted in His eternal and unchanging nature.
