The Rise of a False Messiah & His False Prophet: Sabbatai Zevi

Have you ever heard of a guy who claimed to be The Messiah, only to leave his followers totally crushed and confused? Yeah, that actually happened in 1666! Sabbatai Zevi—a charismatic Jewish mystic (Kabbalist) who, with the help of his false prophet Nathan of Gaza, convinced people he was the real deal. His story isn’t just some dusty historical fairytale; it’s a wake-up call for anyone interested in prophecy, faith, and how easily people can be led astray. If you’ve ever wondered how we could be fooled by a false messiah then keep reading, because Sabbatai’s story gives us a glimpse into what the Bible says about the ultimate deceiver—the Anti-Messiah (or Antichrist). Yes, the lawless one!
