Sabbatai Zevi was born in Smyrna on (supposedly) a 9th Av 1626 (a Sabbath), and died, according to some, on Yom Kippur, September 30 1676, in Dulcigno, a small town in the coastal region of Montenegro.
Zevi's family were Romaniotes from Patras; his father, Mordecai, was a poor poultry-dealer in the Morea.

Jesus knew that in Smyrna an Anti-Christ is going to be born full of blasphemies who will establish a movement that did not consist of real Jews but fake Satanic Jews, pretending or posturing to be Jews and thus infiltrate the Jewish synagogues and lead the real Jews astray and into the path of Satan.
Zevi nullified the Commandments of God because he claimed the messianic age has arrived and he was the messiah of the Jews that was going to usher that age into reality.
Jacob Frank (born in 1726), the second successor to Sabbatai Zevi and the leader of the Sabbatean movement after Rebbe Berechiah, made an alliance with The Rothschilds and the Illuminati; then he and his followers infiltrated the Catholic Church by converting by the thousands to Catholicism.

The development of Frankism was one of the consequences of messianic movement of Sabbatai Zevi, the religious mysticism resulting therefrom, as a reaction to nascent Hassidism; and also the socioeconomic upheavals in the history of the Jews in Poland and western Ukraine.
At this critical moment Jacob Frank came to Iwania (Podolia); he proclaimed himself as a direct successor to Sabbatai Zevi and Osman Baba, and assured his adherents that he had received revelations from Heaven.
The Polish primate Lubenski and the papal nuncio Nicholas Serra were suspicious of the aspirations of the Frankists, but at the insistence of the administrator of the bishopric of Lemberg, the canon Mikulski, the discussion was arranged.

 The Messiah
Zevi's conversion to Islam was an incredibly humiliating event for the tremendous numbers of Jews who fanatically followed him as the Christ.
In the story of Sabbatai Zevi, I find it ironic that none of the Jews who were so eager to identify the Messiah did not stop to reflect on how Jesus Christ fulfilled all of the prophecies of the Jewish Messiah, including where and when he would be born.
Like Zevi, he was offered an "easy out" in his trial, yet Jesus, with our salvation in mind, did not waver in his confession.

 Donmeh West - Sabbatai Zevi
who were not proponents [of Sabbatai Zevi's] and they told me that there was none like him in stature and in the way his face looked, like that of one of God's angels.
Nathan of Gaza, for the most part, conceived of Sabbatai's entry into Islam not as a model for others to follow, but as a one-time sacrificial act -- akin, I might point out, to Jesus' acceptance of his crucifixion -- performed by the Messiah on behalf of the world.
Consequently, both "Jesus" (who may or may not have existed) and Sabbatai Zevi (who most definitely did) "died for the people," as it were, in order to "heal their wounds" -- Jesus allegedly on the cross of Calvary and Sabbatai on the "cross" of heresy.
