Description

Contrary to popular belief the Kingdom of Heaven, known today as the messianic era, is neither a Jewish nor Christian concept, but is the belief inherited from Zoroastrianism, the legacy of the Persian religion that prevailed during Persia's 200 year occupation of "the Land of the Jews" beginning in 540 BCE. The book describes a period of about three hundred years, from 160 BCE, to 130 CE, from the time the Kingdom of Heaven was thought to be an actual Kingdom in which God would reign, to the time Christianity separated from Judaism, both religions sharing the same understanding of the Kingdom, if not the manner by which it will come about. In the book we meet the Chasids, Galilean Jews who inadvertently set the basis for Western justice while attempting to bring about the Kingdom by force. We then meet the Essenes, Jewish priests of the desert who took the Kingdom to be a messianic era brought about by a heavenly Messiah reserved for the just and righteous. Over the years, the Kingdom of Heaven has had different meanings for different people at different times. In the section, Seeds of Pre-Christianity there is a chapter on Jesus' proclaiming the Kingdom as actually unfolding in his time. It contains an in-depth discussion of the messages contained in Jesus' parables referring to the Kingdom. After Jesus died a polarization took place. The Kingdom came to focus on either the violent End Times, a doctrine emphasizing the Day of Judgment, the repercussions of which reverberate in many parts of the Judeo-Christian world today, or on the peaceful coming of a time of peace, joy and abundance for all humankind. In tracing these changing concepts, we watch Jewish Christianity's rise and fall including the great Pharisee mission to the gentiles of the first century BCE, intended to make Judaism a world religion. New light is also shed on Jesus' arrest and crucifixion, on the Sanhedrin's relation to the Roman authorities and on the Orphic religion of Tarsus, home to both Paul and the Stoics and its similarity to the Christology of the Christian Church of the first century CE. Continuing to follow the course of the Kingdom during the time of early Christianity we see that it becomes subordinate to the deification of Jesus, beginning with the Gospels and culminating in the Christian belief that the Lord Jesus will establish the Kingdom for all time at his second coming.
