If Jesus was who Christians claim, I would expect the fuse to be long. Impactful events, after all, typically have longer fuses. The events building toward the appearance of Jesus should span centuries if he was the person the pastor described. I also expected the fuse to act as a timer. If Jesus was something more than human, was the timing of his appearance significant? Was there a reason why he didn’t arrive centuries earlier or decades later? Was there a historic “deadline” he had to meet? The fuse would reveal the answer.
