I don’t claim to be all that good at math but shouldn’t there be a first coming before the second?
A still more likely story is your opinion comes from your bias, not from any facts.
And you don't have a valid interpretation do you?
Jn 1:8 - He was not the Light but came to testify about the Light.
Jn 8:12 - I am the Light of the world,
Jn 1:14 - And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as the only begotten from the
Father, full of grace and truth.
Jn 1:29 - The next day he saw Jesus coming and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Phil 28 - Being found in the appearance of man...
Do you really not understand the incarnation?

God is with us when we do the will of God. He will guide us, provide for us, protect us and save us from our enemies. This is the message from both the Gospels and Jewish scripture. They both use poetry to convey their message. The main difference between the two is the type of poetry being used.

Did you google....
You see John and Christ showed a truth people fail to recognise.To be a son or a child of God, you would do the works God did. Jesus did his Fathers work and Abraham and John did their Fathers work.
Being a Son of God is about doing the will of God.
God made man in 'our image'.
King James Bible
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
JPS Tanakh 1917
And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.'
Living beings....
He came unto his own and his own received him not. In truth the Jews rejected the Prophets because they did not tell them what they wanted to hear. Do you not see your own self reflected in
the same way. Rejecting the truth for your own accepted version of what God is telling us?
So Christ did fit prophecies about the Messiah.
These differences exists, as Pharisees have lots of made up oral traditions, which the Sadducees didn't have.
Mine is based on first hand knowledge, and then systematically questioning all religions globally to see if it adds up.
Where as mine comes from God and his Word. King James Bible
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
It says Elohim (plural) made man in their image... God (singular) is beyond a form or a concept of a soul....We're like angels, nothing like God from my own first hand experience (NDE).
Yes clearly, was sent from Heaven to explain things, and people reject what I've been sent with, to follow their traditions passed down.
I'm completely open to being shown a better comprehension of the texts; yet so far based on what prophecy stated, most of it adds up clearly....
Whereas can show many flaws in the Pharisaic thinking that has created Christianity (John, Paul and Simon), Islam, and Rabbinic Judaism.
Yes clearly so, it has to be him based on the criteria happening because of him, 2nd temple destruction, the Abomination of Desolation, the Diaspora, laying a Snare (Great Deception) across the world, and Israel/Judah divorced God because of their own choice for 30 pieces of silver, etc.
The same, use Esword Bible software to study, as can then check every word, and understand the prophets.
Do you see Christian mobs as an occasional bear in the woods?

Well I was reading "Why the jews rejected Jesus." So you know.
Wait Christian mobs?
Evidently you don't.
Nothing you said is about the incarnation and it certainly isn't poetry.

Ok, nothing in the Bible is poetry. All of it should be taken literal. Jesus was born of a virgin. He raised people from the dead, walked on water, turned water into wine and he himself rose from the dead. How do you explain no one wrote about any of this during his life time?

Because much of it probably never happened literally. Its great allegory and symbolism though.
The resurrection with an ascension through the stratosphere to literally sit at the right side of God makes no sense, even considering an Omnipotent, All-powerful God. However the story helps us understand about the spiritual nature of our lives and life after death.
Walking on water is an allegory for rising above our lower nature (ego and desire) and walking the spiritual path (love, truth, justice).
Turning water into wine speaks of the potency of God's word to transform hearts and lives.
Raising people from the dead means through Christ's teachings we can have spiritual life.
The virgin birth helps us understand the sanctified nature of Jesus.
Or any of the other events in the Gospels.
Like the Star of Bethlehem or the Slaughter of the Innocents. Or the Passover Eve that combined a solar eclipse with an earthquake that damaged the Temple. Or the crowds that saw the Risen Christ.
Can you really imagine a perfectly sinless Jew, son of a sinless Mother, being rejected by His hometown? More likely, they just knew more about Him than made the cut in the Legend of the Christ.
