I don’t think the time or the actual place effects mankind. Our Lord could have died and risen from the dead anywhere. To raise any questions now would be like the Pharisees of His time. All technical!
And the Pharisees of His time as well as today were/are oblivious to the most important event in history.
The death and Resurrection of our Lord to save our souls.
There's an important point raised in the article concerning timing.
Mat 12:38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."
Mat 12:39 But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Mat 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
This is a reference to the timing of the resurrection of Christ. It is the only SIGN that Jesus said he would give. It's significant and it's a technical detail that proves who is the messiah and who is not.
