Question

The Maharal writes in chapter 26 of Tiferet Yisrael that time and place are one and the same in some respect, as is known to those who understand.
(And this is his wording:
"Just as was explained above, that the time of the Torah is not incidental, so too the fact that the Torah was given in the wilderness is not incidental, for time and place are one matter, as is known to those who understand.")
 
 
The difference between time and place is as clear as the sun and the moon.
In what sense can one understand the Maharal’s words that time and place are one matter?
To which "those who understand" is he referring, that this is known to them??
