He was God. He knew about Twitter, and every other stupid thing He probably would have preferred to not waste His omniscient intellect on because He had to as part of His job.

If he had Twitter, his last tweet would've been 'damn I gotta go to court, hope I get off with a warning lol' and then he gets banned. But a few days later, his account gets unbanned and he gets a blue check mark and goes viral.

That's how the book of Acts starts.

All should read this with regards to Matthew 7:6 “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you."

COMMENTARY

Before Jesus says, “Do not cast your pearls before swine,” He says, “Do not give dogs what is sacred.” An analogy mentioning dogs is also used in Proverbs: “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly” (Proverbs 26:11). A dual reference to swine and dogs is also found in 2 Peter 2:22, “Of [false teachers] the proverbs are true: ‘A dog returns to its vomit,’ and, ‘A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.’” In His sermon, Jesus uses dogs and pigs as representative of those who would ridicule, reject, and blaspheme the gospel once it is presented to them. We are not to expose the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have no other purpose than to trample it and return to their own evil ways. Repeatedly sharing the gospel with someone who continually scoffs and ridicules Christ is like casting pearls before swine. We can identify such people through discernment, which is given in some measure to all Christians (1 Corinthians 2:15–16).

END

Some can be reached, some will never let themselves to understand or discern wisdom. Our world needs Christ Jesus more than ever.

never to cast your Pearls Before Swine

I like to believe that quote was an admonition toward copulating with disreputable women.
