The Timing of God's Revelation

God revealed himself 2000 years ago, which raises the question of why he chose that specific time, especially given the lack of scientific verification tools. The speaker suggests that the timing was strategic; the smaller population during that era allowed for more effective dissemination of the gospel. Additionally, the widespread use of Koine Greek facilitated communication across diverse communities, enhancing the spread of Jesus' message. The Roman road network also played a crucial role in enabling missionaries to travel and share the gospel, which helped ground Christianity early on.
