Key Notes
He defines dispensationalist premillennialism as the belief that close Bible reading reveals a plan for how and why Jesus will return.
Jiang's central distinction is that historic premillennialists treat Jesus's return as a promise, while dispensationalist premillennialists treat prophecy as a plan that must be achieved.
He says most Christians do not believe in dispensationalist premillennialism and many regard it as evil or anti-Christian.
Jiang says many Christians object to dispensationalist premillennialism because treating prophecy as a plan tries to manipulate or force God to return.
He says dispensationalist premillennialism gains strength in times of massive uncertainty and inequality, like the present.
He says Christian Zionism intersects with dispensationalist premillennialism when Christians believe Israel must be restored and in conflict with the Middle East for Jesus to return.
He predicts that the religious worldview connecting Christian Zionism, Israel, and Iran will become more popular in America over time.
He argues that hopeless young people under Pax Americana are attracted to dispensationalist premillennialism because it offers a better world through the destruction of the present one.
