ARIMA(0,2,2) model - equation derivation

So on wikipedia here under Examples, it is mentioned that ARIMA(0,2,2) is given by:

$$ X_t = 2X_{t-1} - X_{t-2} + (\alpha + \beta -2)\epsilon_{t-1} + (1 - \alpha)\epsilon_{t-2} + \epsilon_t $$

My question is: how this equation has been derived?

We know that ARIMA(0,2,2) means $d=2$ (second order differencing) and $q=2$ is the MA (moving-average) order.

If $MA(q)$ is given by: $$ X_t = \mu + \epsilon_t + \theta_1\epsilon_{t-1} + ... + \theta_q\epsilon_{t-q} $$

therefore (?):

$$ X_t = \mu + \epsilon_t + \theta_1\epsilon_{t-1} + \theta_2\epsilon_{t-2} \\ X_{t-1} = \mu + \epsilon_{t-1} + \theta_1\epsilon_{t-2} + \theta_2\epsilon_{t-3} \\ X_{t-2} = \mu + \epsilon_{t-2} + \theta_1\epsilon_{t-3} + \theta_2\epsilon_{t-4} $$

After removing $\epsilon_{t-3}, \epsilon_{t-3}$, for the second order differencing we compute $X_t - 2X_{t-1} + X_{t-2}$:

$$ X_t - 2X_{t-1} + X_{t-2} = (\theta_1 - 2)\epsilon_{t-1} + (\theta_2 - 2\theta_1 + 1)\epsilon_{t-2} + \epsilon_t $$
