📝 Description: 1666 Redemption Through Sin: Global Conspiracy in History, Religion, Politics and Finance

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century. Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies. After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history". Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Sabbatai Zevi was a 17th-century Kabbalist who declared himself the Jewish Messiah in 1666, gaining a massive following across the world despite his controversial teachings on 'redemption through sin'.

It's the radical theological concept, central to Sabbateanism and Frankism, that by deliberately engaging in acts traditionally considered sinful or forbidden, one could paradoxically hasten salvation or achieve a higher spiritual state, essentially overturning conventional moral law.

📖 Who should read this

🎯 Key themes and symbolism

Antinomian Messianism

Explore the audacious claim of Sabbatai Zevi, who inverted traditional piety by asserting that sin itself could be a pathway to divine redemption. This concept fundamentally challenged established religious law, leading his followers to deliberately transgress sacred prohibitions in pursuit of a perceived higher spiritual state or to hasten the messianic era.

Hidden Historical Influence

Uncover how Zevi's movement, despite its controversial nature, captivated a significant portion of the Jewish world and persisted through figures like Jacob Frank. This book delves into the subtle yet profound ways these antinomian currents flowed beneath the surface of history, impacting subsequent esoteric traditions and political movements, often unseen by mainstream narratives.

Transgressive Spirituality

Delve into the shocking practices embraced by Sabbateans and Frankists, which included the deliberate violation of religious taboos such as abandoning fasts, engaging in sexual promiscuity, adultery, and ritualistic orgies. These 'strange acts' were not mere hedonism but were understood by adherents as vital, sacred expressions of their unique path to spiritual liberation.

💬 Quotes from the book

“The very fabric of piety was rent asunder, as followers embraced acts deemed anathema, believing salvation lay precisely in their forbidden embrace.”

“A million souls, adrift in a world yearning for redemption, found in Zevi's radical doctrine not heresy, but the true path to a new, unbound age.”

📜 Historical context

Sabbatai Zevi's emergence in 1666 was a seismic event within Jewish mysticism, particularly Kabbalah, during a period rife with messianic fervor following centuries of persecution. His antinomian doctrine, later propagated by Jacob Frank, represents a radical departure from traditional religious observance, standing as a pivotal, often suppressed, chapter in the history of religious subversion and esoteric thought.
