THE SABBATEAN PLAN OF
REDEMPTION THROUGH SIN

In
the 1600’s there was a messianic movement among Jews that was led by Shabbatai
Zevi (1626-1676). He was probably one of the most popular of about 50 Jewish
messiahs that have arisen over the centuries. More importantly, other than
Jesus Himself (who still has a few followers today) Zevi is the one
self-proclaimed messiah who still has a very large following.
If
you have read any blogs from Benjamin Fulford, you know that he often refers to
the corrupt world rulers as Sabbateans. This is that movement. Here is
how it started.
Isaac Luria
During
the Muslim era of Spanish history, many Jews moved to Spain, because Jews and
Muslims coexisted on friendly terms, perhaps because both opposed Christianity
as their common enemy. But the Islamic Moors were finally expelled from Spain
in 1492 by Queen Isabella, and her Order of Expulsion on March 31, 1492 also
forced the Jews to leave.
Many
fled to Portugal, but in 1497 Portugal too issued its own Expulsion Order. Many
Jews then moved to the Ottoman Empire (now Turkey), which was also Muslim.
About
two centuries earlier, the Zohar (part of the Kabbalah) was written, and this
fueled Mystical Judaism. The Kabbalah also established a philosophy used in
satanism.
According to Jerry Rabow,
“The
stories of these later Kabbalist Messiahs—and the story of the post-Expulsion
development of modern Kabbalah generally—are centered in the city of Safed, in
the mountains of northern Palestine. After the 1492 Expulsion from Spain, many
rabbis and mystics settled in Safed….
“The
first Messiah to appear in Safed was the greatest of the Kabbalah masters,
Isaac Luria Ashkenazi (1534-1572), known as the ‘Ari’ (lion). Luria and his
disciples shaped Kabbalah into its present form.
"Many
of Luria’s followers, and probably Luria himself, believed that he was the true
Messiah.” (Jerry Rabow, 50 Jewish Messiahs, p. 81, 82)
The
Rise of Shabbatai Zevi
A
century after Luria, one of his followers arose to become what Jerry Rabow
calls “the greatest Messiah.” He was referring to Shabbatai Zevi, born in
Smyrna (now Ismir) in Turkey on the 9th of Av in 1626. His birthday
was important to Jews, because it was also the anniversary of the destruction
of the temple of Solomon in 586 B.C. and Herod’s temple in 70 A.D. Later, in
135 A.D., it was the day the Romans took the Betar fortress in the Bar Kokhba
revolt.
We
may also link it to the destruction of the Twin Towers, located on “9th
Av” in NYC, as the street sign reads.
Zevi
was no brilliant prodigy. In fact, he seemed to suffer from mental illness of
some sort. He had his first bipolar breakdown when he was 21 or 22. It was then
that he began to speak the name YHWH in public, something that was forbidden in
Judaism since the temple in Jerusalem had been destroyed. No one was to speak
the name until the Messiah came. So when Zevi began to speak it, he was
implying that he was the Messiah.
“As
his claim to be the Messiah grew more explicit, Shabbatai moved on from
speaking the name of God to performing and advocating other modifications and
violations of traditional Jewish law. He led his followers in ritual immersion,
but rather than the traditional mikvah bath, he bathed in the sea. He changed
the holiday celebrations and violated the dietary prohibitions.” (Rabow, p. 93,
94).
In
1651 Shabbatai was finally excommunicated and banished from the synagogue in
Smyrna. He moved to Salonika, where he claimed to be married to the Torah. The
outraged rabbis there banished him as well, and so he continued his wandering.
He finally declared that in the messianic era the biblical commandments were no
longer binding.
“He
dressed a large fish in baby clothes and displayed it in a carriage to announce
the beginning of the messianic era (which, according to legend, would begin
under the sign of Pisces). He proclaimed that God now permitted everything.”
(Rabow, p. 95, 96)
On
the feast of Pentecost in 1665, a rabbi named “Nathan of Gaza” announced that
Zevi was the Messiah. Judaism would never be the same after that. Miracles and
prophecy broke out, which made it clear to many Jews that he was indeed the
Messiah. On December 12, 1665 he went to the Portuguese Synagogue, and the
people barred the door. But Zevi broke down the door with an axe, told the
congregation that they were exempt from prayer, made them pronounce the Sacred
Name, and then serenaded a Torah scroll to an old Castilian love song.
Two
days later (Monday, December 14, 1665), he formally proclaimed that he was the
Messiah and proclaimed Monday to be the Sabbath.
“Then
he finally made the announcement for which the Jewish community had been
waiting for 1,600 years—he would begin the Redemption on the fifteenth day of
the month of Sivan, 5426 (June 18, 1666).
“The
reaction of world Jewry to all this was staggering. It has been estimated that
over a million Jews believed in Shabbatai Zevi the Messiah, at a time when this
constituted as much as 50% of total world Jewry.” (Rabow, p. 101).
Jewish
expectations reached fever pitch, and finally, Zevi began his trip to
Jerusalem, where he expected to be crowned King.
From
King to Turban
Because
the Holy Land was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time, he set out by ship
for Istanbul to receive the Sultan’s crown of dominion. Instead, the Sultan
arrested him at sea and imprisoned him in a fortress that was used to hold
high-ranking officials awaiting trial. Zevi’s followers turned it into a
palace.
“Through
all of this, Shabbatai and Nathan continued to issue proclamations of the
theological changes wrought by the coming of the messianic age. 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 and Nathan now declared
many of the old restrictions of the Torah no longer applicable.
Shabbatai
abolished the laws concerning sexual relationships, eating the sinew of the
thigh, and the fast on the ninth of Av. He eventually declared that all of
the thirty-six major biblical sins were now permitted and even instructed
some of his followers that it was their duty to perform such sins in order
to hasten the Redemption.” (Rabow, p. 110)
Shabbatai
was finally brought to Adrianople (Edirne) on September 16, 1666 to appear
before the Sultan’s Privy Council. The moment of truth had arrived, which his
followers had predicted, where he would be proclaimed King of Jerusalem.
However, the Sultan offered him a choice: his head or a turban.
In
other words, either convert to Islam and wear a turban or you will lose your
head. The
Messiah chose to convert to Islam and was renamed Aziz Mehemed Effendi, “Power
of Muhammed.” He was appointed Keeper of the Palace Gates. His wife, Sarah,
became Lady Fatima.
His
conversion shocked the Jewish world. Many thought it was a misunderstanding or
a clever trick to gain time to overthrow the Sultan. He was often compared to
the “Marranos” who were Jews who converted to Christianity outwardly but who
continued to practice Judaism privately.
“Nathan
of Gaza was unfazed. As always, he provided a theological explanation for the
event. Borrowing from the popular doctrines of Lurianic Kabbalah [i.e., from
Isaac Luria], Nathan explained that this was all part of God’s plan. In order
to bring on the Reformation, Shabbatai had descended into the darkness of the
Muslim world to gather the scattered fragments of the light of creation hidden
there.” (Rabow, p. 112)
In
1672 Shabbatai was arrested for attending services in a synagogue. He was
exiled to Albania, where he died on September 17, 1676 at the age of 50. It was
precisely 10 years after his conversion to Islam in 1666. His grave was made
into a Sufi shrine. The Sufi sect is Islamic Mysticism. They are known for
receiving ecstatic tongues, prophetic words, etc. which are similar to what is
seen in Pentecostal Christianity, though obviously inspired by a different
spirit. (I took a course on Sufism at the University of Minnesota many years
ago.)
The
Doctrine of Redemption Through Sin
The
Sabbatean movement was greatly reduced after his conversion to Islam, but it
did not die out. His conversion was explained as the ultimate sin (violation of
the law) that was necessary in order to redeem the world.
The basic
philosophy of Shabbatai’s doctrine of redemption through sin was based on the
teachings of Isaac Luria a century earlier. Robert Sepehr’s book, 1666--Redemption
Through Sin, gives us a summary:
“Isaac Luria, whose interpretation of the Kabbalah is now most widely
used and accepted, explained that God created the world by forming 10 vessels
to hold the ‘Divine Light.’ God intended this original Light to radiate out,
fill the world and illuminate everything around us. But as God poured the Light
into the vessels, the Divine Light was so powerful that the vessels couldn’t
contain it. With a huge explosion, the vessels shattered and sparks of this
Divine Light became imbedded into the world of matter. The material world had
trapped these sparks of Divine Light; God’s presence was hidden and unable to
shine forth. It then became the task for us (presumably the chosen ones) to
free these holy sparks.” (Sepehr, p. 10, 11)
Of
course, this view is quite Gnostic, as it presumes that matter is evil and
spirit is good. Luria’s interpretation was thus based on Gnostic Dualism of
good vs. evil, light vs. darkness, and spirit vs. matter. It was their
religious duty, then, to enter the world of sin in order to redeem the trapped
particles of Light.
In practice, this meant that the Sabbateans were required
to engage in sin of every kind (most notably sexual orgies and conversion to
false religions) in order to redeem the world. Prohibitions were interpreted as
Permissions, as in the Satanic Black Mass.
“After
Sabbatai’s death in 1676, these sects flourished and continued to indulge in
wife sharing, religious sex orgies, adultery and incest…. They said that the
violation of the Torah had become its fulfillment, which they illustrated by
the example of a grain of wheat that rots in the earth. In other words, just as
a grain of wheat must rot in the earth before it can sprout, so the deeds of
the believers must become truly rotten before they could germinate the
redemption.” (Sepehr, p. 16)
Thus,
sin became a religious holy rite and appealed to the carnal mind of man, for it
offered them the freedom to carry out the basest urges of fallen man. It thus
became indistinguishable from satanism. Its primary means of evangelism was to
infiltrate and corrupt other religions in order to “redeem” the Lights trapped
in the darkness of those other religions.
Jacob
Frank and the Frankists
Fifty
years after the death of Shabbatai Zevi, Jacob Frank was born in 1726 in
southern Poland. He grew up among Sabbateans and eventually declared himself to
be the third incarnation of the soul of the Messiah. The first was Shabbatai
Zevi; the second was Baruchya Russo, a Sabbatean who died in 1720. Jacob Frank
called himself “The Third.”
He
also claimed to be the reincarnation of the patriarch, Jacob. Yet he believed
that the Creator God was not the same as the “evil” God who had revealed
Himself to the Israelites. This was just another of his doctrinal connections
to Gnosticism.
“Where
Frank separated himself was by rejecting every moral law and commandment and
declaring that the only way to a new society was through the total destruction
of the present civilization. He insisted that child sacrifice, rape, incest
and the drinking of blood were perfectly acceptable and necessary religious
rituals.” (Sepehr, p. 20)
Jewish
authorities excommunicated Frank for his controversial ideas such as
“purification through transgression,” which is another way of saying
“redemption through sin.” Frank taught that in order to rise to the top of the
mountain, one first had to reach the lowest part of the valley. In other words,
to reach heaven, one had to reach the abyss of moral degradation. This was his
interpretation of Jacob’s Ladder. It was in the shape of a “V,” he said.
Many
Frankists and Sabbateans in general continued to remain under the cover of
Judaism, in essence, pretending to be Jews and condemning anyone who opposed
them as “anti-semites.”
The
same could be said of those who infiltrated other religions, such as Islam and
Christianity. When they are caught in satanic rituals, the media blames the
religion they infiltrated, rather than the Sabbateans themselves. Frank himself
was baptized twice into Catholicism and also converted to Islam. At the height
of his popularity, he had approximately 50,000 disciples.
“Despite
the smaller following, Frank’s cult would grow to include some of Europe’s
royalty, nobility, and richest bankers.” (Sepehr, p. 21)
It
is axiomatic that money does not make a man; instead, it amplifies what is
already in him, whether for good or for evil. I have said, tongue in cheek,
that I have never been rich enough to be a great sinner. But it is clear from
observation that carnal men who have great wealth often use it to gratify the
desires of their flesh.
Jacob
Frank himself became wealthy by the 1750’s, but by 1786 he had spent or lost
most of his wealth. Then he suddenly and mysteriously regained it.
“By
1786 Frank suffered temporary financial problems and moved his court to
Offenbach, near Frankfurt. There, Frank’s money problems were somehow solved,
and he resumed presiding over a court even more extravagant than at Bruenn. The
sources of Frank’s immense wealth is not clear.
“Whatever
the sources, his wealth was once again on display in Offenbach…. Even his death
was magnificent. When he died from a stroke in 1791, he was given a lavish
funeral attended by many followers as well as the local nobility.” (Rabow, p.
131)
Robert
Sepehr concurs and tells us more:
“In
his classic book, To Eliminate the Opiate (Vol. 2), Rabbi Marvin S.
Antelman explains where Jacob Frank’s [sic] got his financing:
“Frankfurt
at the time was the headquarters of the Jesuit, Adam Weishaupt, founder of the
Illuminati, as well as Rothschild Brothers’ financial empire. This is worth
repeating: Frankfurt was the birthplace of both the Illuminati and the
Rothschild empire.
“When
Jacob Frank entered the city, the alliance between the two had already begun.
Weishaupt provided the conspiratorial resources of the Jesuit Order, while the
Rothschilds contributed the money. What was missing was a means to spread the
agenda of the Illuminati and that the Frankists added with their network of
agents throughout the Christian and Islamic worlds. Jacob Frank became
instantly wealthy [again] because he was given a nice handout by Mayer
Amshel Rothchild of Frankfurt.” (Sepehr, p. 23, 24)
Sepehr
also tells us also:
“Weishaupt was the son of a Jewish Kabbalist Rabbi
in Bavaria but educated by the Jesuits who converted him to Catholicism after
his father died when he was five. He eventually became a priest but defected
and formed an alliance with Lord Meyer Rothschild who financed the Illuminati
agenda.” (Sepehr, p. 25)
Actually,
Weishaupt was a Jesuit professor at Ingolstadt University at the time that the
pope had disbanded the Jesuit Order in 1773. He became (or at least pretended
to be) very bitter against the Roman Church and thus established the Illuminati
on May 1, 1776 to take his revenge. The Illuminati infiltrated Freemasonry by
1782 and was used in 1789-1794 to foment the French Revolution, in which the
Roman Church was overthrown in France. More than 30,000 priests were killed,
according to Father Chiniquy (in the 1880’s).
Ultimately,
the Pope himself was taken captive in Rome in 1798—the same year that Nathan
Rothschild was sent to London to begin taking over the finances of the UK.
It
appears, then, that this unholy alliance between the Illuminati, the
Rothschilds, and the Frankist Sabbateans brought an end to the 1260-year
domination of the “beast from the sea” (Revelation 13:1) and initiated the time of the
financial “beast from the earth” (Revelation 13:11). Both beasts continued to
function, as Revelation 13:12 indicates,
but the second (financial) beast was dominant from then until now.
Of
course, we know that we are now seeing the end of both of these beasts, as
their divine mandate ran out in October of 2017.
Conclusion
I
believe that as the Deep State collapses, more and more Sabbatean/Frankist
religious practices will be uncovered. This has already begun. Hurricane Harvey
(August, 2017) signaled the beginning of this process. Two months later, Harvey
Weinstein was charged with multiple sex crimes. In April 2018 NXIVM, the
Bronfman sex cult that provided women and children to these depraved people
began to be dismantled. (Is Clare Bronfman a Sabbatean?)
In
July 2019 Jeff Epstein was arrested. His partner and madam, Ghislaine Maxwell,
is the daughter of an Israeli Mossad agent and billionaire, Robert Maxwell.
(Were they Sabbateans?)
I
suspect that Harvey Weinstein, Jeff Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Clare
Bronfman are Sabbateans of Jewish descent. Their lack of morals looks
suspiciously Sabbatean or Frankist.
These
arrests are only the beginning. Epstein’s “black book” has yet to be revealed
in court. Even before that, John Podesta’s laptop was said to be filled with
pedophilia-related pictures and documents that are being reserved for a later
time. Cases are being built one trial at a time, which lays a foundation of
court-documented evidence against many others in an ever-widening
investigation.
All
of this is coming to the surface as the power of the beasts comes to an end.
The Kingdom is coming to replace the cruelty brought about by the philosophy of
redemption through sin. God is exposing these things in order to show us how
lawlessness ends in total degradation. The law of God will be reinstated in
spite of either Sabbatean or Christian antinomianism. Jesus Christ will be
King. False messiahs will be exposed and overthrown, not by force but by
opening the eyes of the people to see the results of lawless philosophies.
