Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11, 15, 17
1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. 15 That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires an account of what is past. 17 I said in my heart, “God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

God's times and timing are made for us. He is eternal, El Olam, and has not allowed us to see all of time as He does - so He can test our hearts for Him (do we love and obey)? We are accountable to Him along the time we are given, knowing He will have a final judgement; this is for both good and bad, righteous and evil. Those who admit their sin, turn from it and to Him, believe and receive Jesus Christ as taking their place for just sentencing - these are seen only as right before God because of what He did that we could not. This was planned before time... Eternity is in our hearts.
