Key Notes
model
The Babylonian exile and Persian restoration teach a repeatable strategy: a displaced Jewish population can return to Israel by aligning with a protecting empire.
definition
Jiang describes Zoroastrianism as an eschatology of truth versus lie, light versus darkness, final battle, judgment, and heaven on earth.
prediction
Jiang predicts Al-Aqsa will be destroyed and Persia/Iran will rise because eschatology needs the Islamic world united against Israel.
evidence
Macedon's conquest of Persia and Rome's rise repeat the same pattern: poor marginal peoples can defeat wealthy, cultured, apparently invincible centers.
evidence
He cites the Bronze Age collapse as a terrible event that nonetheless led to Israel, the Greeks, and Persia, which he describes as periods of tremendous human creativity.
diagnosis
The Persians are said to solve the Jerusalem problem by financing a Jewish identity implanted in the Levant as a loyal foreign entity.
