In context this verse is referring to the birth of Christ, how he was born according to God's timing, not man's.  It was not random.  It was not accidental that Jesus was born when and where he was.  God had everything in place for the Lamb of God to come and take away the sin of the world.

When we look at our current news it reveals a world that is chaotic, seeming to be totally out of control.  But I have good news, things are not falling apart, they're falling into place!  Events are coming into alignment for the Second Coming of the Son of God.  He will come the second time as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and He is coming to rule this world and bring order and true peace.

So if you're apprehensive about the future, be assured that the Father in Heaven has not relinquished control.  God is getting things in place for the greatest "rescue" in human history that will be followed seven years later by His return.  "Lift up your head, redemption draweth nigh!"
