Why was Jesus born in that time frame into the world?

Answer 1

good question ... ive never thought about that ....i will ponder it often ...

Answer 2

It was the perfect time to fulfill all of the prophecies written about him. God had it in mind from the beginning. If you look at everything that had to be fulfilled to prove that he was the promised Messiah, there may not have been a better time. From where he was born to how he died, the scriptures were very specific. All these pieces had to be in place.

Rome's presence even helped in the spreading of the Gospel and of the church. When had the Hebrew people been under the rule of any more powerful and wide spread group? The Jewish Christians had a period of favor under Rome where the church could become established and doctrines strong, but a few years later the persecution from the Roman rulers began. This sent the church scattering, and the Gospel spreading around the world.

Just saying it was God's timing is true, but isn't really answering your question. Hope this helps a little.

Answer 3

Well, the actual time was disputed in early Christianity, but later decided on as the year 0 (the calendar years were based on that of course). Christianity didn’t really begin until about the year 70 C.E. Why? I believe people were looking for a revolution. There were many factors involved.

Answer 4

Jesus eagerly and humbly accepted this assignment, although it meant leaving the heavenly home he had shared with his Father longer than anyone else. (John 8:23, 58; Phil. 2:5-8) His motive? Deep love for Jehovah and a zealous desire to see His name cleared of all reproach. (John 14:31) Jesus also acted out of love for humankind. (Prov. 8:30, 31; compare John 15:13.) His birth on earth, in early autumn of the year 2 B.C.E., was made possible by holy spirit—by means of which Jehovah transferred Jesus’ life from heaven to the womb of the Jewish virgin Mary. (Matt. 1:18; Luke 1:26-38) Jesus was thus born into the nation of Israel.—Gal. 4:4.

More than any other Israelite, Jesus knew that he had to be a witness of Jehovah. Why? He was a member of the nation to which Jehovah by the prophet Isaiah had said: “You are my witnesses.” (Isa. 43:10) In addition to that, at Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River in 29 C.E., Jehovah anointed him with holy spirit. (Matt. 3:16) Thus Jesus was empowered, as he later testified, to “proclaim the year of goodwill on the part of Jehovah.”—Isa. 61:1, 2; Luke 4:16-19.

Jesus faithfully carried out his assignment and became Jehovah’s greatest witness ever on earth. With every right, then, the apostle John, who stood near Jesus at the time of his death, calls Jesus “the Faithful Witness.” (Rev. 1:5) And at Revelation 3:14, the glorified Jesus calls himself “the Amen” and “the faithful and true witness.”

It was predestined by God where and when and how the Messiah would be born.
