God creates the very temporality into which the Incarnation enters

Evidence

The temporality introduced in this curriculum vitae is none other than the temporality posited by the subject as ahead of itself (vor-stellt). … Now if Christ, as is claimed in the Encyclopedia, ‘involves himself in time’, this does not mean that he enters into a temporality which is already given, already there. The temporality he is involved with is a temporality whose very concept God has introduced. Indeed, He creates it. Without this correlative dimension of time, Revelation would not be a revelation. Without it, there would be no way of distinguishing the life of Christ from that of any other exemplary individual. By dying, Christ reveals to the Western world a new relation between spirit and finitude, in which death is the limitation (borne), the end of a linear series of moments linked one to the other. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 866
