WTF does "fifth monarchy" s'posed to mean? Sounds like a whackjob nuttiness.

"Fifth Monarchy" is a reference to the "Fifth Monarchy Men" of the English Civil War, who sided with Cromwell against King Chales I and helped in the genocide of Ireland. The "Fifth" monarchy refers to the other four: Egypt, Bablyon, Assyria, Greece and Rome, who "oppressed the Jews"; the "Fifth" monarch is "King Jesus" who will usher in the kingdom of Gord. As you could imagine, these people were fanatic philo-Semites and the first of what later became "dispensationalists" who put the Jews at the top of the Christian ideological heap. They even sent emissaries to Amsterdam to meet with Rabbis and petitioned Cromwell to let the Jews into England, which he did, the first lifting of the ban King Edward I had imposed in the 13th Century after attempting to get Jews to mellow out and lay off the gentiles. If my history is correct, Cromwell finally had the Fifth Monarchists put down as he did with other sects of the era.
