Yeah, it took three years for Jesus to do His Message and He was the Foundation on top of being God in the Flesh. Very few things are 'instant' including the events that happen in the Bible. For example take the Exodus out of Egypt. According to common theory that was roughly two and a half million people which is way. . .WAY more than what was shown in The Ten Commandments movie. Then from the Pharaoh's side of things getting his military together to try and stop the Hebrews from leaving. Not going to do that with a hundred or so soldiers.
