Christians find an anchor for life in historical events, centrally in the cross and resurrection of Jesus.
We are not the only ones. For some, the Holocaust becomes the key to understanding all subsequent history. For others, the Spanish Civil War. For others, the founding of the US, or the French Revolution.
Has it always been this way? Or is it possible that after the cross and resurrection, realized eschatology has become unavoidable? Perhaps since Jesus we can't not believe that a new creation has come.
