The Message.

What happens after the prophet is dead is that the powers of the world appropriate his message of forgiveness and love and his name and reinstate the religion of rewards and punishments, heaven and hell.

This is the carrot and stick approach of the ruling elite which is universally adopted to keep the masses in line.

Napoleon said that if the Catholic Church had not existed he would have to have invented it.

This should give you some idea of what is involved.

And this is true in modern times.

The Church of the 1950s was part of the Conservative Establishment.

They preached obedience to authority, repentance from sin, guilt and shame.....

They threatened judgement and hell.

And they reinforced the powers of the world.

So do not romanticize the 1950s.

The churches were full.

But they were full of cowards and hypocrites.

Look to the future and hope that the message of forgiveness and love will not be lost again.
