Time’s fullness coincides with man raising himself to the trinitarian standpoint of God.

Evidence

When the time was fulfilled, God sent his Son (Galatians 4, 4).’ The turning point of time is also its plenitude, its fulfilment. This is the moment when man, as self-consciousness, raises himself to the standpoint of the trinitarian God. ā€˜The identity of the subject with God appears in the world when the time is fulfilled (als die Zeit erfüllt war); the consciousness of this identity is the knowledge of God in his truth.’ — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 829

Categorization

  • DEFINE: The ā€˜fullness of time’ is defined as the moment when subject-God identity enters the world — the temporalization of what later chapters pressed as identity-with-God.
  • XREF: connects to: God’s self-alienation manifests a new mode of time, not lack; Hegel inscribes time, not lack, within God by identifying God with transcendental imagination; Christianity makes divine self-vision a single decisive moment.
  • yield-rescued: below the book’s yield-target cutoff, included anyway for connecting to: God’s self-alienation manifests a new mode of time, not lack; Hegel inscribes time, not lack, within God by identifying God with transcendental imagination; Christianity makes divine self-vision a single decisive moment.
