SOUND FAMILIAR ?
Here is a passage from Norman Cohn’s book “The Pursuit of the Millenium”
“….,At the center of this doctrine stood a messiah who was referred to as the anointed savior and who was expected to inaugurate the third and last age. The brothers asserted that this man,not Christ,was the messiah prophesied in the old testament,the true son of man who was to appear in glory at the end of history.
He was endowed with insight such as had been granted to no other man; he had beheld the Trinity and the divine Essence; his understanding of the hidden meaning of the scriptures made all previous interpreters seem,by comparison, blind or drunk.
And it was his mission to save not simply mankind but God himself;for God had been suffering because of the sins of men ever since the world began, and now he was calling calling daily to the anointed savior to release him from his anguish.
From page 223 ” The Drummer of Niklashausen”
The middle ages in europe saw an explosion of millennium groups many were violent, many had in common a “messiah” who had a new doctrine and a new revelation from God,that they were to usher in God’s kingdom, that whoever followed the Messiah where the chosen ones and upon them the kingdom would center.
The Moon group is along the same lines, most millennium groups fall apart because of money,power,sex.
