Parking lot — Thread candidates

Append-only index of thread candidates surfaced during foundation-pass batches (ADR-0021, Variant 2). The weaving pass reads this file to pick what to thread.

Each entry: one line per candidate, grouped under a ## {batch-id} — {YYYY-MM-DD} heading. Format:

- **{title-hint}** — anchors: [[atomic-a]], [[atomic-b]] | trigger: {source-section ref} | one-line: {thread-claim seed} | review: {batch-review filename}

Anchors should be atomic wikilinks (existing or this-batch). The trigger field cites the source section that surfaced the thread idea so weaving can recover context without re-reading the chapter. The one-line seed is the thread’s claim in compressed form.

Silence ≠ deferred forever. The weaving pass triages: promote, defer further, or drop with rationale in _meta/rejected-proposals.md.

  • Sexual-fall doctrine vs orthodox pride-as-root-sin — anchors: dp-spiritual-fall-eve-lucifer-illicit-sex, dp-physical-fall-eve-adam-premature-sex, dp-fruit-of-knowledge-symbolizes-eves-consummated-love, dp-original-sin-transmitted-via-blood-lineage | trigger: DP §1.3–1.5 + §2.2 | one-line: DP’s most contested doctrine vs the Augustinian City of God XIV reading of pride/disobedience as the essence of the fall — orthodoxy holds the fruit was literal or that the essence-of-sin was the prideful act of disobedience, not its sexual character | review: dp-1-2-the-human-fall.md [woven into thread-dp-sexual-fall-vs-augustine-pride-disobedience]
  • Lucifer-named vs modern OT scholarship — anchors: dp-lucifer-was-archangel-and-channel-of-gods-love, dp-serpent-is-the-fallen-archangel | trigger: DP §2.2.1 | one-line: DP confidently names Lucifer from the Isa 14 / Ezek 28 / Rev 12 conflation; modern OT scholarship (Walton, Block) reads Isa 14 as taunt against Babylon’s king, not Satan-myth — does DP’s typological identification survive critical exegesis? | review: dp-1-2-the-human-fall.md [woven into thread-dp-lucifer-named-vs-modern-ot-scholarship]
  • Theodicy of non-intervention: DP vs Calvinism vs open theism — anchors: dp-three-reasons-god-did-not-intervene-in-the-fall, dp-power-of-love-is-stronger-than-power-of-principle | trigger: DP §6 | one-line: DP’s three-reasons theodicy stands against Reformed sovereignty (God sovereignly permitted the fall for greater glory), classical Arminian middle-knowledge, and open theism (God didn’t precisely know); DP is closer to open theism but uniquely constrained by the Principle. Extends Ch 1’s divine-constraint thread. | review: dp-1-2-the-human-fall.md [woven into thread-dp-theodicy-non-intervention-vs-boyd-open-theism]
  • Pre-fall envy in unfallen archangel — anchors: dp-four-primary-fallen-nature-characteristics, dp-lucifer-was-archangel-and-channel-of-gods-love | trigger: DP §4.6 (“envy is inevitable by-product of original nature, like shadow cast by object in light”) | one-line: DP concedes envy arose in an unfallen archangel from the unfallen original-nature pairing of intellect and desire — orthodox theology says no negative emotion in unfallen state; does this concede a flaw in original nature itself? | review: dp-1-2-the-human-fall.md [woven into thread-dp-pre-fall-envy-vs-augustine-simultaneous-fall]
  • Power-of-love > power-of-Principle as theodicy — anchors: dp-power-of-love-is-stronger-than-power-of-principle, dp-freedom-did-not-cause-the-fall-unprincipled-love-did | trigger: DP §3.1 + §5.2 | one-line: DP’s distinctive theodicy — God designed love stronger than principle because He governs by love; the fall’s possibility is the price of governance-by-love, not a design flaw. Engages free-will defense (Plantinga) and divine-impassibility tradition. | review: dp-1-2-the-human-fall.md [woven into thread-dp-power-of-love-vs-barth-aseity]
  • Relative-goodness during restoration vs natural-law moral realism — anchors: dp-standard-of-goodness-is-relative-during-restoration | trigger: DP §4.3 | one-line: DP says standards of good shift with era and prevailing authority until Second Advent absolutizes them — bristles with Thomist natural-law (Aquinas ST I-II Q94) and Kantian deontology; could be misread as moral relativism. | review: dp-1-2-the-human-fall.md [woven into thread-dp-relative-goodness-vs-aquinas-natural-law]
  • Pentecost-as-flaming-sword-removal — typology vs mission-empowerment — anchors: dp-pentecost-as-flaming-sword-removal-by-holy-spirit | trigger: DP §1.1.1 | one-line: DP’s typological reading of Acts 2 (Pentecost’s tongues = cherubim’s flaming sword cleared) competes with the mainstream mission-empowerment reading; thread should engage Patristic + modern Pentecostal readings. | review: dp-1-2-the-human-fall.md

dp-1-4-the-messiah-his-advent-and-the-purpose-of-his-second-coming — 2026-05-22

  • Cross-as-plan-A vs cross-as-contingency — anchors: dp-cross-was-not-gods-primary-plan, dp-disciples-grief-shows-cross-was-not-foreordained, dp-gods-preparation-of-israel-shows-cross-was-not-foreordained, dp-jesus-own-words-and-gethsemane-show-cross-was-not-foreordained | trigger: DP §1.2-1.3 + §1.6 | one-line: THE load-bearing UC-vs-mainstream contest; DP reads the cross as Plan B accepted under duress, mainstream reads it as Plan A prefigured from Eden — counters include Anselm Cur Deus Homo, Calvin Institutes II.16-17, Aulén Christus Victor, John Stott The Cross of Christ; Isaiah 53 hermeneutic is the load-bearing OT exegetical battleground; thread should address why God’s contingency-planning is theologically coherent if cross was Plan B (does this constrain divine sovereignty?). | review: dp-1-4-the-messiah-his-advent-and-the-purpose-of-his-second-coming.md
  • Spiritual-only-salvation + Second-Advent-requires-physical-completion — anchors: dp-cross-grants-spiritual-salvation-only-not-physical, dp-second-advent-required-to-complete-physical-salvation | trigger: DP §1.4 | one-line: DP’s spiritual/physical-salvation split rests on lineage-transmitted original-sin (extends Ch 2 sexual-fall) and requires the Second Advent for physical completion; counter is mainstream “Christ’s atonement was sufficient” + Reformed “already-but-not-yet” eschatology (Vos, Ridderbos) which integrates ongoing sanctification without requiring a second atonement. | review: dp-1-4-the-messiah-his-advent-and-the-purpose-of-his-second-coming.md
  • Two-kinds-of-prophecies hermeneutic — principled or ad hoc? — anchors: dp-two-kinds-of-prophecies-reflect-human-portion-of-responsibility | trigger: DP §1.5 | one-line: DP’s “God prepared prophecies for both fulfillment and failure” move dissolves Isaiah 53’s apparent unity with the messianic-king prophecies; question is whether this hermeneutic generalizes (apply to every unfulfilled OT prophecy?) or is invoked only post-hoc when a glory-prophecy failed — falsifiability and methodological consistency the hinge. | review: dp-1-4-the-messiah-his-advent-and-the-purpose-of-his-second-coming.md
  • JtB-failed-Elijah vs orthodox-JtB-greatest-prophet — anchors: dp-jtb-faithlessness-was-main-reason-jesus-had-to-die, dp-jtb-denied-being-elijah-against-jesus-testimony, dp-jtb-separated-from-jesus-and-baptized-independently, dp-jtb-prison-doubts-confirm-faithlessness, dp-jtb-greatest-of-prophets-but-least-in-kingdom-due-to-failed-attendance | trigger: DP §2.3 | one-line: DP’s most ad-hominem reading of a biblical figure; orthodox tradition (Origen, Aquinas Summa III.q.38, Calvin commentary on Matt 11) frames JtB’s prison question as moment-of-weakness, not load-bearing faithlessness, and Matt 11:11 “least in kingdom” as dispensational-temporal not personal-evaluative; thread should also engage how a human-portion-of-responsibility failure of one man can be the principal cause of the Messiah’s death (does this over-weight JtB’s role at expense of corporate Israel?). | review: dp-1-4-the-messiah-his-advent-and-the-purpose-of-his-second-coming.md
  • JtB-Elijah identity — mission/spirit-cooperation vs Catholic-Orthodox traditional readings — anchors: dp-jtb-was-elijah-by-mission-not-soul-transmigration, dp-elijah-mission-incomplete-required-successor | trigger: DP §2.4 | one-line: DP’s “John was Elijah by mission and via Elijah’s spirit-world cooperation” framing sidesteps both literal-reincarnation (which DP rejects) and pure-typology (which DP exceeds) — counters include Catholic teaching on the communion of saints + intercessory cooperation, Orthodox views on holy ones aiding from heaven, and Protestant typology-only readings; load-bearing for DP’s later Second Advent christology (identity-by-mission, not numerical-soul-identity). | review: dp-1-4-the-messiah-his-advent-and-the-purpose-of-his-second-coming.md
  • Apologetic-from-Christian-decline / Israel-rejection-and-2000-year-suffering — anchors: dp-gods-preparation-of-israel-shows-cross-was-not-foreordained | trigger: DP §1.3 | one-line: DP frames post-AD-70 Jewish dispersion as indemnity-consequence of rejecting the Messiah; in tension with post-Holocaust theology that rejects supersessionist consequence-language (Nostra Aetate, Soulen God of Israel and Christian Theology, Greenberg, Levenson); thread should engage how DP’s providential reading interacts with the moral weight of post-Holocaust Jewish-Christian dialogue. | review: dp-1-4-the-messiah-his-advent-and-the-purpose-of-his-second-coming.md

dp-1-5-resurrection — 2026-05-22

  • Spiritualized resurrection vs bodily-resurrection orthodoxy — anchors: dp-resurrection-is-restoration-from-satans-to-gods-dominion, dp-resurrection-changes-are-internal-body-unchanged-externally | trigger: DP §1.3-1.4 | one-line: DP’s spiritualization of resurrection (= dominion-transfer, not bodily revival) contests the Apostles’ Creed and Nicene Creed’s “resurrection of the body / dead” plus 1 Cor 15’s bodily-resurrection chapter; counters include N.T. Wright The Resurrection of the Son of God (2003), Pannenberg Jesus — God and Man, classical patristic readings — thread should engage whether the word “resurrection” can be honestly transposed to dominion-transfer or whether DP’s redefinition substantively changes the gospel. | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • Physical death NOT from Fall vs Augustinian mortality-from-sin — anchors: dp-physical-death-was-original-design-not-fall-consequence, dp-fall-caused-spiritual-not-physical-death | trigger: DP §1.2 | one-line: DP holds Adam was designed to die at 930 regardless of Fall; mainstream Christianity holds Rom 5:12 (“through one man… death”) makes mortality the Fall’s penalty (Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, modern: Cranfield, Moo); thread engages Rom 5:12-21 exegesis and the systematic-theology consequences (does spirit-only Fall affect atonement scope?). | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • Three-mode justification (works/faith/attendance) vs Reformation sola fide — anchors: dp-formation-stage-old-testament-age-justification-by-works-form-spirit, dp-growth-stage-new-testament-age-justification-by-faith-life-spirit, dp-completion-stage-completed-testament-age-justification-by-attendance-divine-spirit | trigger: DP §2.2.2-2.2.4 | one-line: DP dispensationalizes justification — OT works, NT faith, Completed Testament attendance — claiming each is correct for its age; counter is timeless-sola-fide (Luther, Calvin) which reads Rom 4 (Abraham justified by faith before the Law) as showing faith-justification is universal-timeless; thread engages whether DP’s age-relativization survives Paul’s Abraham argument. Extends Ch 3’s sola-fide-vs-indemnity thread. | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • Kingdom of Heaven is empty vs Christ-ascended-and-reigns — anchors: dp-kingdom-of-heaven-is-empty-paradise-is-interim | trigger: DP §2.2.5 | one-line: DP holds even Jesus is currently in Paradise, not the Kingdom of Heaven, because no one has reached divine-spirit yet; mainstream (Apostles’ Creed: “ascended into heaven, seated at right hand of Father”; Heb 8:1, Acts 1:11, Phil 2:9-11) holds Christ ascended and reigns now; thread engages the Hebrews ascension/session texts and what theological work the “Kingdom is empty” claim does (motivates Second Advent urgency? frames pre-SA history as theologically incomplete?). | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • Returning resurrection vs Catholic-Orthodox communion-of-saints + Mormon vicarious work — anchors: dp-returning-resurrection-mechanism-spirits-descend-to-earthly-people, dp-growth-stage-returning-resurrection-of-old-testament-spirits, dp-completion-stage-returning-resurrection-of-new-testament-spirits | trigger: DP §2.3 | one-line: DP’s spirits-descend-to-earthly-people mechanism shares the form of Catholic intercession-of-saints + Mormon vicarious-baptism (earthly action affects spirit-world status) but reverses the direction (in DP, spirits need earthly cooperation to grow, not the other way) and rejects ancestor-veneration; thread should map the formal similarities and substantive differences across these three traditions. | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • 144,000 as arithmetical-restoration vs dispensational-literal & preterist-symbolic — anchors: dp-144000-as-restoration-of-twelve-twelve-twelve-tribal-pattern | trigger: DP §2.2.7 | one-line: DP derives 144,000 as 12 × 12 × 1000 from the Jacob → Moses → Jesus tribal-restoration sequence; dispensationalism reads it literally (12,000 from each of 12 Jewish tribes); preterist/amillennial reads symbolically (complete number of redeemed); thread should engage whether DP’s arithmetical-providential method is falsifiable and what happens if SA-leader cannot find 144,000. | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • Reincarnation as misread returning resurrection vs Hindu/Buddhist self-understanding — anchors: dp-reincarnation-is-misread-returning-resurrection | trigger: DP §2.4 | one-line: DP’s “you misread your own phenomenon” posture is a strong apologetic move; counters include the Hindu Vedanta and Buddhist abhidharma’s own internally-coherent metaphysics, the karma-mechanism (DP has nothing analogous), and the question whether DP’s mission-and-spirit-cooperation framework actually explains the phenomena reincarnation traditions take to be paradigmatic (e.g., past-life memories of personal events, not just missions). | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • All-religions-converge-on-one-Christ vs religious pluralism + exclusivism + each tradition’s self-understanding — anchors: dp-christ-at-second-advent-is-maitreya-true-man-chongdoryong, dp-christianity-unified-via-paradise-spirits-returning-at-second-advent | trigger: DP §3.1-3.2 | one-line: DP’s “Maitreya = True Man = Chongdoryong = SA Christ” identification is inclusivist-supersessionist; counters include Hick’s pluralism (no convergence required), evangelical exclusivism (Christ-only salvation, no non-Christian path), and the specific Buddhist eschatology of Maitreya (a Buddha, not a Christ), Confucian sage tradition (not a returning messiah), Korean Chongdoryong tradition — does DP’s identification do justice to each tradition’s distinctive theology, or absorb them via category-error? Extends Ch 3’s supersessionist thread. | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • Universalism (hell abolished) vs eternal-conscious-torment mainstream — anchors: dp-hell-will-be-abolished-universalism-as-providential-completion | trigger: DP §3.3 | one-line: DP is universalist in the strong sense (hell empties completely); counters include Augustine City of God XXI, Aquinas ST Suppl Q97-99, Edwards Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, modern: Walls Hell: The Logic of Damnation; engagement texts: Matt 25:46’s “eternal punishment,” 2 Thess 1:9’s “eternal destruction,” Rev 14:11’s “smoke of their torment rises forever and ever”; pro-universalism sources: Origen De Principiis (condemned at Constantinople 553), DBC Hart That All Shall Be Saved (2019), Rob Bell Love Wins (2011); extends Ch 1’s hell-as-self-elected-withdrawal thread with abolition framing. | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • Evil-spirits-as-providential-tormentors vs spiritual-warfare paradigm — anchors: dp-evil-spirits-torment-as-indemnity-mechanism | trigger: DP §2.3.3 | one-line: DP allows evil spirits a positive providential role (Heaven uses them as indemnity-payment agents); spiritual-warfare paradigm (charismatic + evangelical: Frank Peretti, C. Peter Wagner) treats demonic activity as unambiguously enemy-action to be resisted; thread should engage the pastoral implications — how does this frame interact with mental health, abuse-survivor pastoral care, and the asymmetric “only willing endurance pays indemnity” claim that risks blaming victims? | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md
  • “You are the Lord” position-vs-identity revelations — charismatic discernment — anchors: dp-you-are-the-lord-revelations-are-position-recognition-not-identity, dp-spiritually-restored-people-face-same-temptation-adam-eve-failed | trigger: DP §2.2.6 | one-line: DP supplies a structural account of charismatic delusion (high-spiritual-experience without Principle = antichrist risk) and the recurring scandal pattern of charismatic leaders falling at ministry-peak; engagement with charismatic-renewal scholarship (Wagner, Anderson, Vineyard), countercult literature on antichrist movements, and pastoral discernment frameworks — does DP’s frame generalize beyond UC self-context? | review: dp-1-5-resurrection.md

dp-1-6-predestination — 2026-05-22

  • Calvin’s absolute-predestination explicitly rejected — engagement with Reformed sovereignty theology — anchors: dp-rom-rereads-vindicate-conditional-predestination-against-calvin, dp-god-predestines-only-good-never-evil | trigger: DP §1 (theodicy bound) + §4 (explicit naming) | one-line: DP’s most direct anti-Reformed move at the doctrinal level — engagement texts: Calvin Institutes III.21-24 (election + reprobation), Westminster Confession III; modern Reformed counters: R.C. Sproul Chosen by God, John Piper The Justification of God; engagement should examine whether DP’s “God predestines only good” actually weakens or merely reframes the sovereignty/freedom problem (Calvin would say DP collapses providence into human-conditional, losing the unconditional-election guarantee that makes salvation secure). Extends but is distinct from Ch 2’s theodicy thread. | review: dp-1-6-predestination.md [woven into thread-dp-conditional-predestination-vs-calvin-absolute]
  • The 95/5 ratio — quantification of divine/human cooperation vs other free-will/sovereignty schemes — anchors: dp-95-5-ratio-of-divine-to-human-responsibility | trigger: DP §2 numerical formulation | one-line: DP supplies a numerical split (95/5) where most theological traditions resist quantification — engagement with Molinism (concurrent freedom), open theism (no fixed split), classical compatibilism (no quantitative claim), and Eastern Orthodox synergism (cooperation without ratio); thread should examine whether the proportion is rhetorical (Ch 6 says “five percent… is one hundred percent of our effort” — already self-relativizing) or doctrinal (binding for SA Christ’s mission, blessing conditions, etc.). | review: dp-1-6-predestination.md [woven into thread-dp-95-5-ratio-vs-molina-middle-knowledge]
  • Central-figure selection criteria — falsifiability of the five-prerequisite funnel — anchors: dp-central-figure-selection-criteria-five-prerequisites | trigger: DP §3 funnel | one-line: DP’s five criteria (chosen people → lineage → character → development → time-place) are concrete enough to be evaluated against historical figures — engagement should ask whether SMM himself meets all five (Korean as chosen-people claim contested; lineage requires careful tracing; character/development/time-place have UC tradition’s positive case but external counters exist), and whether failure on any criterion would disqualify rather than merely delay; also engage Mormon-prophet criteria, Bahá’í manifestation criteria, and Buddhist Maitreya-recognition methods for comparative method. | review: dp-1-6-predestination.md [woven into thread-dp-central-figure-criteria-vs-acts-4-28]
  • Replacement-pattern providence vs primary-plan providence — structural contingency claim — anchors: dp-failed-central-figure-replaced-to-fulfill-absolute-will, dp-gods-will-is-absolutely-predestined-toward-restoration | trigger: DP §1 final paragraph | one-line: DP’s claim that providence is structurally replacement-driven (Adam→Jesus, Cain→Seth, Moses→Joshua, Judas→Matthias) generalizes the Ch 4 cross-as-contingency thesis; counter is the Augustinian/Calvinist reading where each apparent “failure” was foreordained for higher providential purpose (e.g., the cross as primary plan, Judas as necessary betrayer per Acts 4:28’s “predestined”); thread should engage Acts 4:28 (“to do what your power and will had predestined to take place” — re: Herod, Pilate, etc. crucifying Jesus) which is the strongest textual counter to DP’s structural-contingency reading. | review: dp-1-6-predestination.md [woven into thread-dp-replacement-providence-vs-maximus-synergism]

dp-1-7-christology — 2026-05-22

  • Jesus’s deity — DP’s perfected-man christology vs Nicene homoousios and Chalcedonian hypostatic-union — anchors: dp-jesus-value-equals-any-perfected-person-not-uniquely-divine, dp-jesus-is-not-god-himself-but-gods-second-self-via-union, dp-perfected-person-is-one-body-with-god-with-divine-nature | trigger: DP §2.2-2.3 | one-line: THE central christological contest — DP rejects both Nicene homoousios (Jesus is one substance with Father) and Chalcedonian hypostatic-union (one person, two natures) as misreadings of a perfected-man-united-with-God reality; engagement texts: Athanasius On the Incarnation, Gregory of Nazianzus Theological Orations III-V, Augustine De Trinitate, Chalcedonian Definition (451), Council of Constantinople III on dyothelitism; modern: T.F. Torrance The Trinitarian Faith, Robert Letham The Holy Trinity, John Behr The Way to Nicaea; key NT proof-texts contested by both sides: John 1:1-14, John 14:9, Phil 2:6-11, Col 1:15-20, Heb 1:1-4 | review: dp-1-7-christology.md
  • Holy Spirit as feminine — DP’s True-Mother claim vs masculine/neuter mainstream pneumatology — anchors: dp-holy-spirit-is-feminine-spiritual-true-mother | trigger: DP §4.1.1-4.1.2 | one-line: DP’s Spirit-as-feminine claim is structurally derived from the Logos’s dual-characteristic pairing plus second-Eve restoration mandate; engagement with Orthodox Sophiology (Bulgakov The Comforter, Solovyov), Moltmann The Spirit of Life and Spirit-feminism, Elizabeth Johnson She Who Is, Sallie McFague Models of God; opposing: traditional masculine/neuter (Greek Pneuma is grammatically neuter; most Latin and English tradition uses masculine), modern conservative Reformed (e.g., Sinclair Ferguson The Holy Spirit); DP’s frame is uniquely restoration-grounded (Eve must be restored by Spirit-as-Mother) rather than merely grammatical or experiential | review: dp-1-7-christology.md
  • Trinity as four-position-foundation vs classical-Trinitarian metaphysics — anchors: dp-trinity-is-four-position-foundation-god-with-true-parents | trigger: DP §4.2 | one-line: DP’s Trinity is a structural relationship (God-centered True-Parent pair within FPF), not an ontological co-equality of three persons sharing one essence; engagement with Cappadocian-Augustinian Trinitarian theology, modern: Karl Barth CD I.1, Catherine LaCugna God for Us, Zizioulas Being as Communion, Boff Trinity and Society; DP universalizes the Trinity-form to every couple-with-God (each restored couple forms a trinity) — a strong democratization of Trinitarian language that classical theology reserves for the immanent Godhead | review: dp-1-7-christology.md
  • Rebirth via True Parents vs evangelical born-again and Reformed monergistic-regeneration — anchors: dp-rebirth-requires-spiritual-true-parents-jesus-and-holy-spirit | trigger: DP §4.1.1, §4.1.3 | one-line: DP rereads Jesus’s John 3 “born anew” as requiring two spiritual parents (Jesus as True Father, Holy Spirit as True Mother); engagement with evangelical born-again theology (Wesleyan new-birth, Reformed monergistic-regeneration per John Murray Redemption Accomplished and Applied, R.C. Sproul Chosen by God); also key: how DP’s “we must believe in Jesus through Holy Spirit’s inspiration to receive True-Parent love” differs from the standard ordo salutis; engagement with the 1 Cor 15:45 “last Adam = life-giving spirit” Pauline contrast under DP’s True-Father reread vs traditional second-Adam Christology (Bavinck, Ridderbos Paul: An Outline of His Theology) | review: dp-1-7-christology.md
  • Spiritual-only-salvation, physical-rebirth-incomplete, and the True-Parents-in-flesh mechanism for the Second Advent — anchors: dp-jesus-completed-only-spiritual-rebirth-second-advent-needed-for-physical, dp-fallen-people-engrafted-to-jesus-recover-perfected-value | trigger: DP §3, §4.1.3, §4.2 | one-line: Ch 7 supplies the positive mechanism for Ch 4’s spiritual-only-salvation gap — Christ must return in the flesh, find his Bride, and form earthly trinity with God to give physical rebirth; counters: mainstream already-but-not-yet eschatology (Vos The Pauline Eschatology, Ridderbos The Coming of the Kingdom, G.E. Ladd A Theology of the New Testament) holds Christ’s atonement was sufficient and no second atonement is required for ongoing sanctification; the bridegroom-and-Bride imagery (Matt 9:15, Eph 5:32, Rev 19:7) is DP’s NT-anchored description, but mainstream reads these as ecclesial-mystical, not requiring Christ’s literal return in flesh with literal Bride | review: dp-1-7-christology.md

dp-2-1-introduction-to-restoration — 2026-05-22

  • Indemnity-condition-fulfillment vs penal-substitution atonement theory — anchors: dp-restoration-through-indemnity-is-condition-fulfillment-not-payment, dp-three-types-of-indemnity-equal-lesser-greater | trigger: DP §1.1 | one-line: DP’s indemnity is NOT debt-payment-to-God (Anselm’s Cur Deus Homo, Calvin’s penal substitution); it’s structural condition-fulfillment by the human portion of responsibility; engagement texts: Anselm Cur Deus Homo, Calvin Institutes II.16–17, Aulén Christus Victor, Abelard’s moral-influence view, Boersma Violence, Hospitality and the Cross, Hans Boersma’s Heavenly Participation | review: dp-2-1-introduction-to-restoration.md
  • Two-foundation messianic prerequisite vs mainstream “fullness of time” Christology — anchors: dp-foundation-for-messiah-requires-foundation-of-faith-and-substance, dp-foundation-of-faith-requires-central-figure-object-and-numerical-period | trigger: DP §1.2 | one-line: DP’s Messiah comes only after fallen humans build the FoF + FoS prerequisite; mainstream readings of Gal 4:4 (“the fullness of time”) and Reformed covenant theology treat Christ’s coming as sovereign-divine, not human-conditioned; engagement: Vos Biblical Theology, Calvin on Galatians, Karl Barth CD IV.1 on the time of Christ, modern: Tom Wright Paul and the Faithfulness of God on the messianic-expectation context | review: dp-2-1-introduction-to-restoration.md
  • Cain–Abel pattern as substance-foundation mechanism vs mainstream Genesis 4 readings — anchors: dp-foundation-of-substance-removes-fallen-nature-via-cain-abel-indemnity | trigger: DP §1.2.2 | one-line: DP reads Gen 4 as the paradigmatic structural pattern for all subsequent restoration history — every later figure-pair (Noah’s sons, Isaac/Jacob, Esau/Jacob, Joseph/brothers, Jesus/JtB) is a Cain–Abel re-enactment; mainstream OT scholarship reads Gen 4 as one historical instance of sin’s expansion, not a recurring structural template; engagement: Gerhard von Rad Genesis, Westermann Genesis 1–11, Walter Brueggemann Genesis, modern: Gordon Wenham Story as Torah | review: dp-2-1-introduction-to-restoration.md

  • Genesis 4 readings — DP’s positional Cain/Abel + four-fold reversal vs mainstream Genesis 4 scholarship — anchors: dp-cain-abel-positions-determined-by-eves-two-fallen-acts, dp-cain-sacrifice-rejected-due-to-satanic-claim-not-divine-hatred, dp-cain-removes-fallen-nature-via-fourfold-reversal-of-archangels-acts | trigger: DP §1.1–1.2 | one-line: DP’s distinctive Gen 4 reading places Cain’s evil-side position via Eve’s two fallen acts (not arbitrary divine choice), reads God’s rejection as structural-satanic claim (not heart-of-faith or blood-versus-grain), and supplies a four-fold reversal mechanism Cain failed; mainstream (Westermann Genesis 1–11, Wenham Story as Torah, von Rad Genesis, Brueggemann Genesis) reads Gen 4 as one historical instance with single-individual culpability and divine sovereignty in offering acceptance — engagement should evaluate whether DP’s positional reading survives the canonical exegesis | review: dp-2-2-foundation-for-restoration.md
  • Genesis 9 Ham episode — DP’s sexual-shame-recapitulation vs mainstream readings (literal incest, voyeurism, paternal mockery, Canaanite-curse etiology) — anchors: dp-hams-shame-at-noahs-nakedness-broke-the-foundation-of-substance | trigger: DP §2.2 | one-line: DP folds Ham’s act into the fall’s sexual-shame mechanism (Ham’s shame = acknowledging satanic kinship); mainstream readings vary widely — Bergsma & Hahn (CBQ 2005) read literal incest with Noah’s wife; Calum Carmichael reads paternal castration; von Rad reads disrespect; modern Africana scholarship (e.g. Felder, Stony Brook) reads the curse against the colonial misuse of the text; engagement should assess whether DP’s specific structural reading survives the actual Hebrew text plus the broader interpretive history | review: dp-2-2-foundation-for-restoration.md
  • Genesis 15 covenant cutting — DP’s “Abraham failed to cut the dove” reading vs mainstream covenant-cutting scholarship — anchors: dp-abrahams-failure-to-cut-the-dove-defiled-the-symbolic-offering, dp-isaac-offering-as-greater-indemnity-restitution-of-abrahams-failure | trigger: DP §3.1.2 (Abraham’s symbolic offering) | one-line: DP reads Abraham’s uncut dove and pigeon as load-bearing sin causing 400-year Egyptian slavery; mainstream covenant-cutting scholarship (Wenham Genesis 16–50, Mathews Genesis 11:27–50:26, Hamilton, Westermann) reads the uncut birds as part of the standard ancient-Near-East covenant rite (Jeremiah 34 parallels), not a failure; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s reading requires re-reading both Gen 15:13’s slavery-prophecy (DP: consequence; mainstream: predestined) and Gen 15:10’s bird-treatment (DP: error; mainstream: standard practice) | review: dp-2-2-foundation-for-restoration.md
  • Genesis 22 binding of Isaac — DP’s greater-indemnity restitution vs mainstream readings (test of faith, typological prefiguration of Christ, ethical conundrum) — anchors: dp-isaac-offering-as-greater-indemnity-restitution-of-abrahams-failure | trigger: DP §3.1.2 (Abraham’s offering of Isaac) | one-line: DP reads the Akedah as restitution for Abraham’s prior failure (the uncut dove), not as a freestanding test; mainstream readings range from Kierkegaard Fear and Trembling (teleological suspension of the ethical), to Patristic typology (Isaac prefigures Christ; e.g. Origen Hom. Gen. VIII), to Jewish midrash (Akedat Yitzchak, Levenson Death and Resurrection of the Beloved Son); engagement should assess whether the prior-failure reading changes the Akedah’s moral meaning — is it indemnity restitution or independent test? | review: dp-2-2-foundation-for-restoration.md
  • Jacob-Esau cycle — DP’s providential-Cain-Abel reversal vs mainstream readings on Jacob’s moral ambiguity — anchors: dp-jacob-restored-abels-position-via-three-victories, dp-esaus-embrace-of-jacob-was-first-successful-foundation-of-substance | trigger: DP §3.2 | one-line: DP reads Jacob’s deception of Isaac, Laban-conflict, and Esau-reconciliation as providential Cain-Abel reversal — the first historical success of foundation-of-substance; mainstream readings (Brueggemann Genesis, Fokkelman Narrative Art in Genesis, Alter Genesis, Wenham) wrestle with Jacob’s moral ambiguity (trickster figure, fraternal deception, divine election despite character) without integrating into a positive structural mechanism; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s providential frame ennobles or problematically rationalizes Jacob’s actions | review: dp-2-2-foundation-for-restoration.md

  • DP’s reading of Moses’ rock-striking (Num 20) vs mainstream readings on Moses’ failure mode — anchors: dp-moses-struck-rock-twice-the-second-sin-allowed-satan-to-claim-christ-rock | trigger: DP §2.2.3 | one-line: DP reads Moses’ second strike as the load-bearing remote cause of Jesus’s wilderness temptation and the structural pre-condition for the cross; mainstream readings vary — Sarna JPS Torah Commentary: Numbers (Moses’ anger and lack of trust), Levine Numbers 1-20 (Moses’ failure to follow precise instruction), Milgrom Numbers (rebellion against divine sanctity); rarely connected to christology; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s typological loading is exegetically defensible | review: dp-2-3a-moses.md
  • Tabernacle/Ark/Temple as contingent emergency-substitute vs mainstream Temple-as-Plan-A theology — anchors: dp-tablets-ark-tabernacle-given-only-because-israelites-lost-faith, dp-tabernacle-as-object-of-faith-relay-race-indemnity-inheritance | trigger: DP §2.2.2 | one-line: DP frames the entire Tabernacle/Temple apparatus as a contingent substitute given because of Israelite failure; mainstream Christian tradition (G.K. Beale The Temple and the Church’s Mission, Vern Poythress The Shadow of Christ in the Law of Moses, classical Reformed covenant theology) reads the Tabernacle/Temple as Plan-A typological shadow of Christ-from-eternity, prefigured before any “failure” — engagement should evaluate whether DP’s contingency reading survives the Hebrews 8-10 typology framework which reads Tabernacle as positively prefiguring Christ regardless of Israel’s faith | review: dp-2-3a-moses.md
  • Brazen-serpent typology — DP’s “remote cause of cross” reading vs mainstream John 3:14 typology — anchors: dp-brazen-serpent-foreshadowed-jesus-as-lifted-up-on-the-cross | trigger: DP §2.2.3 | one-line: DP weights the brazen-serpent episode as causal-typology (a “remote cause” of Jesus walking the cross); mainstream Patristic and modern readings (Athanasius, Augustine, Calvin commentary on John, D.A. Carson The Gospel According to John) treat the brazen-serpent type as positively prefigurative without causal-contingency loading; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s contingency-typology is hermeneutically distinct or an over-reading | review: dp-2-3a-moses.md
  • Test-then-grace as universal indemnity mechanism vs Reformation grace-precedes-faith and Eastern Orthodox synergy — anchors: dp-greater-mission-requires-greater-test-grace-follows-test | trigger: DP §2.3 | one-line: DP’s “every grace requires a paired test to prevent Satan’s accusation” generates a transactional-conditional grace-doctrine; counter is Reformation grace-precedes-faith (Eph 2:8-10, Luther Bondage of the Will) and Eastern Orthodox synergistic-grace (Maximus the Confessor, Gregory Palamas); the most pointed contest is whether grace can ever be prior to test (DP’s answer: never, because Satan-relationship requires the test-condition first) | review: dp-2-3a-moses.md
  • Internal/external Israelites distinction vs Israel-as-corporate-elect — anchors: dp-moses-could-not-enter-canaan-joshua-replaced-him-with-internal-israelites | trigger: DP §2.2.3 | one-line: DP introduces a within-Israel theological split based on rock-water grace-reception during wilderness wandering; mainstream OT theology treats Israel as a corporate elect throughout (with selected individuals like Moses/Aaron exiting via punishment); engagement should evaluate whether DP’s internal/external bifurcation is hermeneutically supported beyond Num 14’s age-cutoff (which is generational, not internal/external in DP’s sense) | review: dp-2-3a-moses.md

dp-2-3b-jesus — 2026-05-22

  • Wilderness temptations — DP’s three-blessings-recovery vs mainstream readings (testing of obedience, second-Adam typology, monastic-spiritual-warfare) — anchors: dp-three-temptations-attempted-to-keep-rock-and-three-blessings-from-jesus | trigger: DP §3.2.1 | one-line: DP reads each temptation as a structured attempt to retain Satan’s claim on a specific blessing (individual, multiplication, dominion); mainstream readings (Athanasius Life of Antony, R.T. France Matthew, Joel Marcus Mark, Henri Blocher) read the temptations as obedience-tests or second-Adam re-enactment without the three-blessings structuring; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s tripartite-blessing schema survives a careful exegesis of Matt 4 / Luke 4 | review: dp-2-3b-jesus.md
  • Forty-day post-resurrection course as JtB-position spiritual indemnity vs Patristic ascension theology — anchors: dp-resurrected-jesus-spiritually-fulfilled-tablets-ark-and-tabernacle | trigger: DP §3.3.1 | one-line: DP reads Acts 1:3’s forty days between resurrection and ascension as Jesus paying spiritual indemnity from John the Baptist’s position to lay the spiritual foundation of faith; mainstream Patristic and Reformed readings (Pannenberg, N.T. Wright, Donald Macleod The Person of Christ) read the forty days as messianic instruction-period and ascension preparation, not as indemnity-payment from a substituted role; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s structural reading distorts or illuminates the Acts narrative | review: dp-2-3b-jesus.md
  • Mosaic-course-as-structural-argument for cross-was-contingent vs the Christ-from-eternity protology — anchors: dp-mosaic-course-structure-confirms-cross-was-contingent-not-foreordained | trigger: DP §3.3.1 closing | one-line: DP’s NEW structural argument — Mosaic course exhibits contingent prolongations and substitute-objects, therefore by parallel Jesus’s course’s cross was also contingent — extends the existing cross-was-not-Plan-A cluster with a load-bearing inductive argument; counter is the classical Reformed Christ-from-eternity (Eph 1:4, Rev 13:8 “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world”) which forecloses contingency by making the cross part of the eternal divine decree; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s structural induction survives the eternal-decree texts | review: dp-2-3b-jesus.md
  • Joshua-Second-Advent typology as load-bearing eschatological identity vs Patristic-Joshua-as-Christ-type — anchors: dp-christ-at-second-advent-completes-substantial-course-as-joshua-completed-moses | trigger: DP §3.3.2 | one-line: DP reads Joshua’s substantial-completion of Canaan as a load-bearing typological model for Christ at the Second Advent’s substantial completion of the worldwide course; Patristic and modern Christian typology reads Joshua (Hebrew “Yeshua”) as a type of Christ at the First Coming (Justin Martyr Dialogue 75, Origen Homilies on Joshua, John MacArthur on Joshua); engagement should evaluate whether DP’s Joshua-equals-Second-Advent reading conflicts with the Patristic Joshua-equals-First-Coming typology, or operates at a different layer | review: dp-2-3b-jesus.md

  • DP’s 120+400+210+400 period sequence vs critical OT chronology — anchors: dp-six-old-testament-age-periods-restoring-foundation-laying-age-through-image-parallels | trigger: DP §3 | one-line: DP’s six-period OT cascade requires exactly 120 (united kingdom), exactly 210 (Babylonian exile), exactly 400 (each of slavery, judges, divided-kingdom, Messiah-preparation); mainstream OT chronology (Albright-Bright synthesis, Provan-Long-Longman, Finkelstein-Silberman lower-chronology) reads Saul 0–10 years, David ~40, Solomon ~40 (so united kingdom ~80–90 not 120), divided monarchy ~350 not 400, Babylonian exile ~50–70 not 210; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s structural-numerology is data-driven or curve-fit | review: dp-2-4-providential-periods.md
  • DP’s Reformation-as-preparation-for-Second-Advent reading vs secular Reformation historiography — anchors: dp-six-prolongation-age-periods-restoring-providence-of-restoration-through-substantial-parallels | trigger: DP §4.6 | one-line: DP reads 1517 (Reformation) as the start of a 400-year preparation period ending ~1917 at the Second Advent; mainstream Reformation historiography (MacCulloch, Gregory, Roper) reads the Reformation as a confessional rupture with multi-secular consequences, not as a millenarian preparation period; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s providential reading is a theological category-extension over Reformation history or a historically-supported claim | review: dp-2-4-providential-periods.md
  • DP’s Western-Christian periodization vs non-Western Christianity — anchors: dp-six-prolongation-age-periods-restoring-providence-of-restoration-through-substantial-parallels | trigger: DP §4 (entire) | one-line: DP’s six prolongation periods are all Latin/Western-Christian events (Roman persecution, Carolingian Empire, Holy Roman Empire vs France, Avignon papacy, Protestant Reformation); Eastern Orthodoxy (Byzantine continuity, 1054 schism, 1453 fall), Oriental Orthodoxy, Church of the East, global South Christianity develop on different timelines; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s periodization is provincially Western or universally providential | review: dp-2-4-providential-periods.md
  • DP’s three-attempts-allowed rule (§2.1) vs Calvinist secret-decree providence — anchors: dp-up-to-three-attempts-allowed-in-providence-grounded-in-trinity-of-creation | trigger: DP §2.1 | one-line: DP claims a cap on providential attempts (up to three) grounded in trinitarian creation-structure; Calvinist providence (Westminster Confession 5, Frame, Helm) treats all events as ordained by a single eternal decree with no prolongation/substitution mechanism; engagement should evaluate whether DP’s contingency-with-cap doctrine is exegetically supported (vs Acts 4:28’s “predestined” frame) or a structural-deductive overlay | review: dp-2-4-providential-periods.md

dp-2-5a-period-parallels — 2026-05-22

  • DP’s Western-Christendom-as-providential-history (§§1–6 detailed-content claims) vs modern medieval historiography — anchors: dp-judges-and-regional-church-leadership-parallel-as-feudalistic-pre-monarchic-period, dp-saul-david-solomon-parallel-to-charlemagne-and-carolingian-line-in-monarchic-stage, dp-divided-kingdoms-ns-and-ew-parallel-as-third-generation-fracture-with-prophet-then-chastisement | trigger: DP §§1–4 specific-figure identifications | one-line: DP’s specific-figure pairings (Charlemagne ≈ Saul; Otto I ≈ Rehoboam-stage Judah-king-equivalent; Holy Roman Empire vs France ≈ Israel vs Judah inverted-polarity) are testable against modern medievalists (Peter Brown The Rise of Western Christendom, Chris Wickham The Inheritance of Rome, R.W. Southern Western Society and the Church in the Middle Ages); engagement should examine whether DP’s specific identifications survive critical medieval historiography or are post-hoc theological overlays | review: dp-2-5a-period-parallels.md
  • The Crusades as providential chastisement vs critical Crusades historiography — anchors: dp-divided-kingdoms-ns-and-ew-parallel-as-third-generation-fracture-with-prophet-then-chastisement | trigger: DP §4 closing | one-line: DP reads the eight Crusades as God’s external chastisement of an unrepentant corrupt papacy paralleling Assyrian/Babylonian chastisement of Israel — a strong providential reading that conflicts with critical readings of the Crusades as Christian aggression, pilgrimage-protection mission, political-economic enterprise, or eschatological project (Thomas Asbridge The Crusades, Christopher Tyerman God’s War, Jonathan Riley-Smith The Crusades, Christianity, and Islam); engagement should evaluate whether DP’s chastisement reading survives historical scrutiny of Crusade-causation | review: dp-2-5a-period-parallels.md
  • The Cain/Abel polarity inversion between OT (Judah=Abel-south) and NT (Holy Roman Empire=Abel-east) divided kingdoms — anchors: dp-divided-kingdoms-ns-and-ew-parallel-as-third-generation-fracture-with-prophet-then-chastisement | trigger: DP §4 inversion-not-flagged | one-line: DP’s parallel between Israel/Judah and Holy-Roman-Empire/France assigns the Abel-position differently between the two ages (Judah-south = Abel in OT, but Holy Roman Empire-east = Abel in NT — and France-west is described as Cain) — Cain-side is south in OT, west in NT; if Cain/Abel polarity is providentially-meaningful, why does it invert between paired periods? Engagement should evaluate whether the inversion is principled (e.g., Cain-position varies with geography or providential center) or a curve-fit artifact | review: dp-2-5a-period-parallels.md
  • DP’s regional-religions-as-God-founded-preparation (Buddhism, Hellenism, Confucianism as parallel arms of the same providence) vs exclusivist Christian missiology and comparative-religion scholarship — anchors: dp-malachi-to-jesus-and-reformation-to-second-advent-parallel-as-400-year-preparation | trigger: DP §6 ¶3 | one-line: DP’s positive identification of Gautama, Socrates, and Confucius as God-founded preparatory revelations for Christ is a strong universalist move — one of DP’s most theologically distinctive comparative-religion claims; engagement with classical exclusivism (Karl Barth’s “religion as unbelief”, D.A. Carson The Gagging of God), inclusivism (Vatican II Nostra Aetate, Karl Rahner’s anonymous-Christian thesis), pluralism (John Hick An Interpretation of Religion), and comparative-religion frameworks (Hans Küng Tracing the Way); evaluate whether DP’s frame is closest to Rahnerian inclusivism or distinct in claiming historically-causal providential founding | review: dp-2-5a-period-parallels.md

  • DP’s specific-figure providential identifications (Kaiser Wilhelm II as Adam-antitype, Hitler as Jesus-antitype, Stalin as Christ-at-SA antitype) vs biographical-historical scholarship — anchors: dp-wwi-as-formation-stage-with-kaiser-wilhelm-ii-as-adam-antitype-on-satans-side, dp-wwii-as-growth-stage-with-hitler-as-jesus-antitype-and-three-allied-nations-as-adam-eve-archangel, dp-wwiii-as-completion-stage-ideological-or-armed-with-stalin-as-second-advent-antitype | trigger: DP §4.2–4.4 specific naming | one-line: DP’s most testable specific-figure identifications — Kaiser-Adam, Hitler-Jesus (with grandiose-vision, single-life, corpse-disappearance parallels), Stalin-SA — engagement with biographical historiography: Christopher Clark Kaiser Wilhelm II, Ian Kershaw Hitler (2 vols), Stephen Kotkin Stalin (3 vols); evaluate whether the antitype identifications are sustained by the actual biographical record or are post-hoc curve-fits | review: dp-2-6b-world-wars-as-providential-indemnity.md
  • DP’s Adam-Eve-Archangel six-nation typology for WWII (US/UK/France vs Germany/Japan/Italy) vs critical Axis-Allies political history — anchors: dp-wwii-as-growth-stage-with-hitler-as-jesus-antitype-and-three-allied-nations-as-adam-eve-archangel | trigger: DP §4.3.4 specific national typing | one-line: DP’s masculine/feminine/mixed national typing of the six WWII belligerents is uniquely structurally-loaded — the US-as-masculine-Adam, UK-as-feminine-Eve, France-as-mixed-Archangel triplet vs Germany-as-masculine-Adam, Japan-as-feminine-Eve, Italy-as-mixed-Archangel; engagement with WWII historiography (Gerhard Weinberg A World at Arms, Antony Beevor The Second World War) and gendered-nation theory (Anne McClintock Imperial Leather, Cynthia Enloe Bananas, Beaches, and Bases); evaluate whether the typing has independent operational content or is post-hoc symbolic assignment | review: dp-2-6b-world-wars-as-providential-indemnity.md

  • DP’s Matt 24 / Acts 1:11 / Rev 1:7 cloud-coming symbolic-eschatology vs Pentecostal-dispensational rapture eschatology — anchors: dp-clouds-symbolize-reborn-believers-and-jesus-said-clouds-to-prevent-antichrist-confusion, dp-luke-17-prophecies-of-suffering-and-faithlessness-require-physical-second-advent, dp-second-advent-comes-by-physical-birth-not-on-clouds-per-elijah-redux-precedent | trigger: DP §2 in-toto | one-line: DP’s reading of Matt 24:30 + 1 Th 4:17 + Rev 1:7 cloud-coming as symbolic-of-reborn-believers (not literal sky-descent) is its most direct contest with mainstream Pentecostal/dispensational pre-tribulation rapture readings; engagement with John Walvoord The Rapture Question (1957), Hal Lindsey The Late Great Planet Earth (1970), Tim LaHaye/Jerry Jenkins Left Behind series (1995–2007), and amillennial/postmillennial counter-readings (G.K. Beale Revelation, Riddlebarger A Case for Amillennialism); evaluate whether DP’s symbolic-cloud reading survives the literal-cloud canonical Bible commentary or reads against the grain | review: dp-2-7-the-second-advent.md

  • DP’s Korean-language-as-providential-mother-tongue claim vs comparative-linguistics and Bible-translation theology — anchors: dp-korean-as-providential-mother-tongue-of-unified-humanity-reversing-babel | trigger: DP §5 | one-line: DP’s claim that one specific natural language (Korean) is the providential vehicle of new-truth unification is structurally distinct from mainstream Bible-translation theology (which treats all languages as adequate vessels for the gospel — Lamin Sanneh Translating the Message 1989) and from comparative-linguistic universalism (which denies any natural-language privilege); engagement with Sanneh, Andrew Walls The Cross-Cultural Process in Christian History, the NT Aramaic/Greek translation question, the Quran’s Arabic-essentialism for comparative leverage, and Esperanto/Volapük as constructed-language counter-models; evaluate whether the parent-child filial-piety argument carries beyond UC-internal usage | review: dp-2-7-the-second-advent.md
  • DP’s Third-Israel-as-Korea / fourth-Israel-projection vs post-Holocaust theology and post-Vatican-II Catholic teaching — anchors: dp-second-advent-comes-not-to-jews-but-to-third-israel-per-vineyard-parable, dp-korea-as-third-israel-prepared-by-forty-year-japanese-colonial-indemnity | trigger: DP §§3.1, 3.3.1 explicit succession | one-line: DP’s First-Israel-Jewish / Second-Israel-Christian / Third-Israel-Korean succession is structural supersessionism with a specific historical-national anchor; engagement with Nostra Aetate (1965), R.
