Kairos

Kairos is a cool word. An ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment. A undetermined period of time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word.

Sophists, paid lecturers of the 5th century, stressed it is a key ability to adapt to and take advantage of changing, contingent circumstances.

Aristotle the time and space context in which the proof will be delivered to an audience in order to reawaken them to the speaker.

The New Testament refers to Kairos as the point in time where God changes things. The appointed time in the purpose of God.

I like kairos as the special thing that happens when God shows up. The time when it's an Oh My God moment and the Holy Spirit shows up big. I'm sure the appointed time in the purpose of God isn't always dramatic. I still like to think of this mysterious word as God's wake up moment. The time when God reveals him self, leaving all uncertainty a side.
