Exploring Historical Context of Prophets

You know, you just think about certain individuals

that have existed.

They make no sense because they are so removed from the historical

context. Like, where did Jesus come from?

Where did Muhammad come from? Where did Buddha come from,

right? I mean, given the historical context,

we should not have people

like that. Muhammad

was

barely literate, right? I mean, was he literate? Maybe not.

But he grew up, but he was born, he lived in the Arabian

desert.

And

he became one of the most influential prophets in

human history. Same thing with Jesus. Jesus was illiterate.

He was born in a very poor family.

And you ask yourself, where did these people come from?

Because from using our modern psychological

tools,

we could not possibly predict that they would come in their time,

right? So I think the only explanation is they're messengers of God, which

is what

they said they were, right? We come as a prophet to

spread the message of God. And I think

that when originally their message was the

same,

but over time, because of empire,

their messages became corrupted, okay?

I think that during the time Muhammad and Jesus were saying the

same thing, which is we all come from the source.

God loves every one of us. There should be no hierarchy.

There should be no inequality.

There should be no caste and difference among

us.

I think that's what every prophet has said.

But again, over time, the message has become very corrupt.
