Sound familiar: "the last messenger of God"?

It's all too familiar. Same narrative, different players and terminology. In the LC they would claim it was Lee who "recovered" the church that had fallen into apostasy. Then by the time of his passing, it was that the age of spiritual giants is over, leaving no room for anyone else to take his place. WL had already reached the "high peak". Seems like all the false teachers come and con people the same way. For some reason, everyone though Lee would be different. He wasn't.
