Deuteronomy32:35
35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence, their feet shall slide in due time : for the day of their calamity is at hand , and the things that shall come upon them, make haste.
It is my office to punish sin, and therefore as I know their sins so I will assuredly punish them.
They who now think they stand fast and unmoveable they shall fall into utter destruction.
Though not so soon as some may expect it, yet in that time when it shall be most proper and seasonable, when they have filled up the measure of their sins. This due time may be the same with that fulness of time, Gal. 4. 4. when Christ came into the world, whom this people by wicked hands crucified and slew, Act. 2. 23. for which wrath came upon them to the uttermost, 1 Thes. 2. 15, 16.
Heb. is near. So the Scripture oft speaks of those things which are at many hundred years distance, to meet with objections arising in mens minds from the delays of them, and to signifie, that though they may be afar off as to our measures of time and expectation of the things, yet in Gods account they are near, they are as near as may be, as soon as ever the fit and the full time is come, they come instantly, they are nearer than sinners would have them, when the measure of their sins is once full, the judgment shall not be deferred.
