Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the Prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near (Revelations 1:3).
God sets everything in place and in motion for His word to be fulfilled. He is not bounded by time and all that had happened in the past, is happening today, or will happen in the future is already a predestined event that the Lord had made. There is always a good purpose for such things to happen and God gave man the gift of prophecy so that he can prepare for any eventuality that comes.
