Key Notes
The expected return of Jesus to destroy evil and build eternal paradise, as Jiang summarizes the Christian story.
Jiang uses it as a Western image of destroying the current reality and replacing it with paradise, oneness, completeness, and wholeness on Earth.
The promised return of Jesus, associated here with bringing heaven to earth and creating a theological problem for establishment authority.
He claims Isaac Newton's biblical prophecy work becomes the basis for a Freemason plan to force the Second Coming through reconstituting Israel, temple rebuilding, Gog and Magog, Antichrist, and Armageddon.
The second coming is powerful because it marks the end of history and promises paradise and reconciliation with God.
Jiang says Newton searched the Bible for a secret code that would reveal the future and was convinced of the Second Coming.
Newton is described as a Christian Zionist because he believed Jesus's return required conditions, including the return of Jews to Jerusalem under Ottoman control.
The First Crusade recruits many motives at once, including forgiveness, legal immunity, vengeance, land hunger, apocalyptic belief, chivalric loyalty, piety, fanaticism, and glory.
Christianity tries to solve Judaism's problems by personifying and perfecting divinity in Jesus and by promising the second coming.
Jiang argues that Christian Zionist belief in war as the trigger for Jesus returning is one of the main causes of Middle East conflict.
Jiang argues that humans generally have nostalgia for oneness and false reality, and he identifies Plato's cave and the Second Coming as powerful Western expressions of those same desires.
