_ _ heard thee — In the eternal purposes of my love I have hearkened to thy prayer for the salvation of thy people (compare John 17:9, John 17:15, John 17:20, John 17:24).

As it is God’s time of receiving sinners, receive ye His grace: accept (2 Corinthians 6:1) the word of reconciliation in His accepted time.
_ _ in the day of salvation — “in a day of salvation” (Luke 4:18, Luke 4:19, Luke 4:21; Luke 19:42; Hebrews 3:7). |

(2) In that grace is offered, it is by the grace of God, who has appointed times and seasons to all things, that we may take occasion when it is offered.
(a) Which I of my free mercy and love towards you liked and appointed. And at this time God poured out his marvellous love upon us. |
