He would not cease the proof his revelations, his revelations would not stop, and there would be a guide in each age. Why would God communicate to one generation and then stop for the rest?You're only considering one god concept with all of this Mystic, out of a great many. It's, as you said, inconclusive. It's also not likely, let alone most likely. Have you ever thought of checking out Bahaism, btw.....I think you'd enjoy it? In any case "you think its fair to say" all of this because you have baggage. When you think "if a god" you're actually thinking "if allah/yahweh/christ" (which is odd, because you're clearly dissatisfied with that god-concept). Perhaps you should cast your net further out?
