1. His prophethood addresses all humanity.
2. He is the final prophet.
3. Evidence of his prophethood remains available today.
4. The religious teachings and law he brought remain available today.
These are separate dimensions: the scope of the message, the conclusion of prophethood, the continuing evidence for his truth, and the continuing presence of his teaching.
