but the Messiah did not come during the time of any of those prophets
The connecting word "But" contrasts the many prophecies about the Messiah given to the prophets, with the Messiah not coming during their life time. It is not expected that so much detail would be given but it be another four hundred years until the Messiah came. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast)
More than four hundred years after the last of these prophecies was given, at exactly the right time
This is background information about what happened before the Messiah came. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background)
four hundred years
This could also be written as numerals: "400 years." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers)
into the world
This could be translated as, “to the people of the world.” The Messiah would be sent not only to the Jews, but to all people.
