God's plan of redemption was already in motion after Adam and Eve sinned, and their relationship with God was broken. The promise of his coming is so absolutely unique it's beyond chance. God had planned it 100% from the very beginning. The Bible announces right here: 743 years before Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, that the one coming would be a child born, he's going to come as a child, because a son will be offered. He was born to die. The fact that his return has been promised, its promise is anticipating every human need. God's consolation, God's comfort cannot come for you.
