>Sabbatai Zevi: The Messiah of the Qlipoth

>In 1665, Nathan of Gaza announced that the Messianic Age would begin in 1666 with the conquest of the world without bloodshed, the Coming Messiah would lead the Ten Lost Tribes back to the Holy Land.

>That "Messiah" was Sabbatai Zevi

>The hindsight of history portrays Nathan of Gaza as exploiting the delusions of a likely mentally ill Zevi by affirming his beliefs that he was the Messiah. With that encouragement, Zevi was resuscitated from the throes of despair Yachini found him in. Reinvigorated, Zevi would lead a Kabbalistic Messianic movement that he was the namesake for: Sabbateanism.

>Sabbateanism emerged in the mid-17th century in the Ottoman Empire as Zevi was able to galvanize thousands of followers. They followed Zevi's iconoclastic brand of Kabbalah until the Messianic claimant was eventually apprehended by Ottoman authorities over his heresies. He was then faced with an ultimatum: renounce his Messianic claim and convert to Islam or be put to death. Zevi, effectively disproving his Messianic claim by demonstrating the absence of the same spiritual conviction of the martyred Jesus Christ, chose the former of the 2 options and converted to Islam.

>Following his conversion, Zevi served in the court of Sultan Mehmed IV. However, despite his ostensible conversion to Islam, Zevi continued to preach his antinomian Kabbalistic doctrine. Zevi would instruct his followers to weaponize the practice of conversion themselves, leading to the formation of a group of crypto-Jews known as the Donmeh. In the years that followed, Zevi was ultimately unable to conceal his duplicity. Following the discovery by Ottoman authorities of his continued observance of Judaism, Zevi was exiled from Constantinople by Sultan Mehmed IV to what is now the town of Ulcinj, Montenegro, where he died in isolation in 1676.
