  • They seem to indicate, at least in the first book, that after Paul entered the sietch, the jihad was unavoidable. Even if Paul died, the Fremen would carry it out in his name. Leto II says something about how a prophet is locked into their own prophecy unless they create their death contrary to it. He mentions John the Baptist apparently engineering his own beheading to escape his vision. Supposedly this death need not be real, as Paul allowed himself to be abandoned in the desert to die, allowing Muad’Dib to die, and the Preacher to arise. He was no longer The Messiah, but this fell to Leto II, but even he “died” to the tigers and was reborn as a worm.
