“Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.”
When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son — the birth narrative's terse announcement communicates the fulfillment of Gabriel's promise without elaboration. The son whose birth was promised in verse 13 has arrived. The time having come echoes the messianic fullness-of-time language — the appointed moments are arriving in sequence.
