Another Messiah of the Shabbethaians was Löbele Prossnitz (a partizan of Mordecai), whose theory was that God had resigned the dominion of the world to the "pious one," i.e., the one who had entered into the depths of the Cabala.

 Rav Kook on Sabbatiansim   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
While it is not at all clear that Rav Kook includes in his list of Messiahs-in-potentia the likes of Shabbetai Zevi, perhaps reserving this distinction for a Bar Kochba revered by Rabbi Akiba, this does not dull the daring of the thought.
None of the unsuccessful Messiahs’ attempts at redemption were in vein; all contribute in some sense to the final Redemption.
Though Messiah himself is not portrayed by Rav Kook as abrogating Mosaic law, the entire phenomenon of Messianism is painted in distinctly antinomian tones.

They viewed one Messiah as a priest-king, in the Tradition of Melchizedek, which is, from their point of view, passed through the Levitical priesthood, through Aaron, Moses's brother and God's prophet, and another, who is a King in the image of David and through David's seed, Messiah ben David.
To read the list of the Rabbis concerning the things Jesus did not do in fulfilling prophesy, which we include in a later chapter, is enlightening to say the least.

 Remsberg's List of writers that did not mention Jesus is bogus!
Amateur skeptics like to pass lists around that they borrow from outdated and irrelevant sources written by kidney specialists; one of these is a list of writers contemporary with Jesus who are alleged to have been mysteriously silent about him.
You'll find this list repeated on dozens of skeptical sites (and in Freke and Gandy's Jesus Mysteries) with gloats and smiles stapled to it, but the ultimate source of the list is John Remsberg and his book, The Christ.
The question Remsberg never answers is, "Why should any of these people have mentioned Jesus?" The list is presented flat, as though it is obvious that merely by being in the same century as Jesus, some irresistible and mysterious force requires these writers to make mention of him.

 POCM > The Triumph of Christianity > before christ
As early as the second century BC the "Teacher of Righteousness" taught his followers at Qumran that they were living in the last days, and that they should look forward to the coming of the Messiah in fulfillment of prophecy.
I know that the last days and the coming Messiah in fulfillment of prophecy all sound familiar, but remember, these folks were not Christians.
Celsus (who wrote a book refuting Christianity) says each of these guys was a Jewish messiah who fulfilled the same prophecies Jesus supposedly did.

RICHARD: Hence all the wars and murders and rapes and tortures and domestic violence and child abuse and suicides and the such-like are perpetuated by Gurus and the God-Men, the Masters and the Messiahs, the Avatars and the Saviours and the Saints and the Sages forever and a day.
Your justifying/excusing of the Gurus and the God-Men, the Masters and the Messiahs, the Avatars and the Saviours and the Saints and the Sages is specifically why there is still no global peace-on-earth.

Israel's powerbrokers are the descendants of the false prophet Shabtai Tzvi, who, on June 18, 1666, in Gaza declared that he was the Messiah of the Jews.
The proclamation from Gaza was issued not by a leader of Hamas, but rather by the 17th-century Jewish kabbalist Nathan of Gaza, who in 1665 became the major prophet of the infamous false messiah from Izmir, Shabbetai Zevi.
The proclamation's rebuke was not part of Ariel Sharon's argument for evacuating Jewish settlers from Gaza, but of a ruling by Rabbi Jacob Sasportas, the most outspoken and tireless opponent of the Sabbatean messianic outbreak.
