	Sabbatai Zevi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sabbatai Zevi, (Hebrew שבתאי צבי Shabtai Tzvi) (other spellings include Shabbethai, Shabbetai, Sabbetai; Zvi or Tzevi; he was also known by the acronym ש״ץ Shatz) (July 22, 1626–possibly September 30, 1676) was a claimed Messiah and Kabbalist.
		He was the founder of the Donmeh sect, which flourished in the Ottoman Empire, and which drew elements from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as of the more Judaism-influenced Sabbatian movement (Sabbatianism), which continued in Europe after his death.
		Zevi was born in Smyrna on a Sabbath 9th Av 1626, and died, according to some, on Yom Kippur, September 30, 1676, in Dulcigno, a small town in the coastal region of Montenegro.

		Shabbatai's new prayer was, 'Praised be He who permits the forbidden.' Since all things would be permitted in the age of the messiah, Shabbatai declared many of the old restrictions of the Torah no longer applicable.
		Zevi revealed to this Polish messiah the prophecy given by his close associate, Nathan Ghazzati the prophet, that Zevi was destined to become the ruler of the Ottomam Empire.
		Zevi's influence among the Jews did not die with his death, many still believed this wizard of deception who legitimized deception as a mean to achieve one's goals.

		Although, at one point, Zevi had convinced almost all European and Middle Eastern rabbis of his claim, the episode ended with him recanting and converting to Islam becoming an apostate to Judaism.
		The global Jewish community was still reeling from that, and the similarities between Luzzatto's writings and Zevi's were perceived as being especially dangerous.
		These writings, only some of which have survived, describe Luzzato's belief that he and his followers were key figures in a messianic drama that was about to take place.

		Zevi believed himself to be the long-awaited Messiah, and many Jews believed and followed him, eventually into Islam.
		Zevi's abrupt departure from the theological scene left the "Donmeh" in limbo between their Jewish heritage and their desire to faithfully imitate Zevi.

		His bizarre behavior during fits of mania, Zevi was prone to violate the basic tenants of religious Torah law. He took on the mantle of the anti-Christ by blaspheming the Name of the Eternal One by pronouncing the “Holy Name” in public.
		The date never came. Shabbatai Zevi in the midst of all of his pronouncements also proclaimed the Turkish Sultan of Constantinople would be deposed and become his servant.
		Finally in the presence of the Sultan, Zevi was brought before the divan or Turkish council. Listening hidden behind the lattices which so influences Moslem architecture, the Sultan listened as Shabbatai Zevi pronounced that he did not proclaim he was a messiah.

	The Origins Of Modern Zionism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Modern Zionism has its roots in a 17th century false Jewish messiah by the name of Sabbatai Zevi who claimed to be the promised savior of the Jews that has come to establish the Jewish kingdom in the promised land known then as Palestine.
		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.

		In 1665 he met the charismatic Nathan of Gaza, who persuaded him that he was indeed the Messiah.
		Sabbatai Zevi then formally revealed himself, named 1666 as the millennium, and soon gained fervent support in Palestine and the Diaspora.
		It is important to realize that the entire Jewish world of 1665-66 believed that Sabbatai was no mere "prophet" or "teacher" but the Promised Messiah and a living incarnation of God.

	Spinoza and Sabbatai Zevi
		Equal in importance to Spinoza's awareness of the Sabbatian advent, touched on in this passage, is the keen interest it describes from no less a personage than the Secretary of the Royal Society of London.
		Over the course of the three hundred years since his Holy Apostasy to Islam, and the subsequent collapse of his movement it caused, "common knowledge" and "conventional wisdom" have reduced his advent to a blip on the radar screen of Jewish history.
		What is beginning to become clear is that the Jewish world misunderstood (and, in large part, continues to misunderstand) Sabbatai's conversion to Islam as a "cowardly" act of "betrayal," rather than the necessary act of messianic tikkun it was intended to be.

		The title piece is a bittersweet, brief re-telling of the Shabbatai Zevi story ‘transferred to a Jewish agricultural colony in Southern Brazil.
		Shabbatai Zevi was one of the ‘False Messiahs’ who appeared during a desperate period of Ashkenazi Jewish history in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, promising to lead his compatriots out of tzuresdike golus (painful exile) to dwell with the Lord in Eretz Yisroel (the land of Israel).
		Needless to say it didn’t quite turn out as prophesised, and nor did the high hopes of the Jewish colonies in Brazil.

	Question on Shabbatai Zevi - TheologyWeb Campus
		According to "Who's Who in Jewish History" by Joan Comay, the individual above name Zevi claimed, literally, to be, "The Only Begotten Son of God, Shabbatai Zevi" and he actually gained a large Messianic following throughout the Jewish community in Europe and over the world.
		Could you please explain to me why some of you might follow a 'messiah' who claimed to be the Son of God, when you reject Y'shua's claim to this same relationship?
		It's obvious that if your Messiah was Jewish, fulfilled some prophecies, and existed in the 1st Century, then Jews to some number would of followed him then.

		Nathan of Gaza, the supporter of the messianic pretender Shabbetai Zevi, also produced a pseudepigraph attributed to an earlier, medieval pietist, Avraham Hasid, who "predicted" the birth and life of Shabbetai Zevi.
		The work allegedly convinced the not-too-reluctant Shabbatai Zevi that he was, in fact, the messiah.
		The Polish kabbalist and pseudepigrapher Samson ben Pesach Ostropoler wrote a commentary to an otherwise unknown and thoroughly obscure work called Karnayim, authored by an unidentified Aaron from the town of Kardina (also unidentified).
