Who did Jesus think he was?

In this song in the popular musical , Jesus Christ Superstar, Judas expresses the disappointment that Jesus did not come in modern times.  He laments over what could have happened if Jesus came during the 1970s - and how many would have followed him and understood what he was all about. In the song, he questions Jesus' timing.

What do you think of Jesus' timing? Could he have come at a more opportune time so that it would have had a greater effect. [i.e., come today when more modern technologies could have spread his teachings]

What do you think would have been the kinds of things he would have done today to convey who he was and why he was here?

What is it about the timing of Jesus appearance and what he says that has stood the test of time?
