Time’s turning point coincides with its plenitude or fulfillment

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. ‘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
