He was leaving them with hope and a wakeup call that he would fulfill these prophecies.

It could not have been merely to fulfill prophecy because that wound't have been entirely authentic.

Absolutely! Because that's what he said he came here to do!
Matthew 5:17
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Luke 24:44
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
That's another reason why Jesus quoted over 60 scriptures from 24 books of the Old Testament. The Old Testament is filled with the story of Jesus and why he came here.
He came here to prove that "I am he" and to die for his sheep so that they would be able to live with him forever.
Isaiah 41:4
4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Isaiah 43:10
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isaiah 43:13
13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
John 8:24
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
John 8:28
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
John 9:9
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
John 13:19
19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
John 18:6
6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

"My God. Why have you forsaken me?"
According to the Gospel of Mathew, these were some of Christ's last words.
What could have made him speak them? Did God forsake Him? Or was Christ there for a reason? What were Jesus's reasons for being on the cross and why did he think Father abandoned him?

Ahahaha. Quite the story, the way you tell it. Source and Origin are copies of each other.
We are copies of them.
Jesus was a copy of both of them, and was told by them both all he needed to know to set the path in motion.
You think Jesus expected to bring peace to himself? Then how do you explain "There are some who think, perhaps, that I have come to spread peace. I have come not to spread peace, but a sword."
I think Jesus did not want to die. It is perfectly human to not want to die. But His Father made him die. That was the betrayal. They were capable of bringing him down from the cross and healing his wounds and all the wounds of the world, but they did not. He had to die before all those who scourged and defamed His name. But He knew that it was the only way to bring peace and leave the path open to bring glory to His name.

I call BS.
The only thing you did was give him another name and call him "Source Entity".
This is how you are the one who's been fooled.

You came up with this idea on your own or through some substance enhanced encounter you had with a lower spirit entity that's warped your mind?
