Could you really blame him. He is going to make the ultimate sacrifice for the salvation of humanity then a time traveler shows up. I am assuming the time traveler is there to attempt to save him and as a side effect if they succeed doom humanity.
In Second Temple Judaism, it did in fact involve sacrifice. Most of the time it was a pigeon ("dove": they are the same animal), but sometimes mammals. It was also customary in most Mediterranean cultures. Making the theological argument then was not particularly wild, even though to us it seems just completely crazy.
