I mean, think about all the ways that we could have, you could have wrote the gospel out in the sky every day. I mean, it's all kind of things that we could have done, that God could have done to allow angels to appear in front of people all the time. He could have spoken audibly from heaven. I mean, this thing didn't have to be that hard. …
