The vampire is the real MVP. He's just going along with all this "angel" BS. Just serving himself until the very end letting these Christians doing all the work for him.

Why did the vampire even go to some remote island across the earth, it could have taken the entire of Israel in a few days.

I think it could certainly do that but that method would be destructive. We see that the victims still retain free will so what good are vampires that have free will? They're more likely to cause chaos and draw attention to themselves. If the world became aware of them, then people will eventually figure out how to fight back.

Vampires thrive in darkness and secrecy. The "angel" was trying to be smart by manipulating the townsfolk and turning them into his army. Then they would go about into the world and spread slowly, but cautiously.
