Isaiah 13:22

Her time is near to come; so it was, though not according to man's rash judgment and impatient expectation, yet according to God's estimation, and to the eye of faith, whereby Abraham saw Christ's day as present, many ages before it came, 1 Thessalonians 8:56: and comparatively; for it happened within two hundred years; which is but a small proportion of time, if it be compared either with the foregoing or following ages of the world, or with the immense duration of eternity, from whence it was decreed by God, and therefore might well be said now to be near the accomplishment of it. In like manner the apostles speak of the day of judgment as near in their time, though it was at many ages distance. Her days shall not be prolonged beyond the time prefixed and appointed by God. Compare Habakkuk 2:3.
