The Zohar Prophecy of 1648 and the Shabbatean Heresy

The Zohar famously predicted that the year 5408 (or 1648) would be an auspicious time to usher in the Messianic Age. Together with the end of the Thirty Years' War and the tragic Chmelnitsky Massacres, the events of the day inspired the false messiah Shabbatai Tzvi to launch a heretical movement. This short video explores the birth of the Shabbatean heresy and how it was ultimately stamped out by the rabbis and by the Baal Shem Tov, founder of Hasidism.

Thank you for this work. I had heard of the Thirty Years War, the Chmelnitsky Massacres and the Shabbatean movement but knew little of the history until now.

I recommend the two volume book by rabbi Marvin Antelman, To Eliminate the Opiate. He did incredible research on this topic. He reveals the trail into recent history.

It’s wrong for you to say this all and I don’t think you misunderstand the concept of the term true history either person involved in the story which ultimately makes you an expert favourably ignorant of your 2xfools (followers fools assemblies)

The Zohar Prophecy is true. The interpretation of it by past generations was incorrect... but indeed they were on the right path. Using the year, and converting it to the year of the Lord (Jesus Christ): 1648.

1648 is indeed the isopsephy (Greek gematria) value of the SIGN for the End of Days to begin.m: The first ascension of the ‘Last’ Adam in the last days.

As the Rabbis understood whether they wanted to or not, the time from Adam to Jesus was divinely divided, and a new timeline moving forward and increasing in a 3761/3760 incremental dance ever since holds keys to decoding the mystery of mysteries.

Thank you for this teaching. It helps to polish yet another facet of this beautiful diamond The Lord has given me to work on.
