https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabbatai_Zevi
Assisted by his wife, Sabbatai became the leader of the community. He used his power to crush the opposition. He deposed the existing rabbi of Smyrna, Aaron Lapapa, and appointed Chaim Benveniste in his place. His popularity grew, as people of all faiths repeated his story. His fame extended far and wide. Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands had centers of his Messianic movement. The Jews of Hamburg and Amsterdam learned of the events in Smyrna from trustworthy Christians. Henry Oldenburg, a distinguished German savant who became the first secretary of the Royal Society, wrote to Baruch Spinoza (Spinozae Epistolae No 33): "All the world here is talking of a rumour of the return of the Israelites … to their own country. … Should the news be confirmed, it may bring about a revolution in all things."[6]
Sabbatai's followers included many prominent rabbis, such as Isaac Aboab da Fonseca, Moses Raphael de Aguilar, Moses Galante, Moses Zacuto, and the above-mentioned Hayyim Benveniste. Dionysius Musaphia, an adherent of Spinoza, likewise became a follower. People spread fantastic reports, which were widely believed. For example, it was said, "In the north of Scotland a ship had appeared with silken sails and ropes, manned by sailors who spoke Hebrew. The flag bore the inscription 'The Twelve Tribes of Israel'."[11] The Jewish community of Avignon, France prepared to emigrate to the new kingdom in the spring of 1666.[6]
The readiness of the Jews to believe the messianic claims of Sabbatai Zevi may largely be explained by the desperate state of European Jewry in the mid-17th century. The bloody pogroms of Bohdan Khmelnytsky had wiped out around 100,000 Jews in Eastern Europe,[12] or more,[13] others put the numbers killed at between 40,000 and 100,000,[14] about one third of Europe's Jewish population at the time and destroyed many centers of Jewish learning and communal life. There is no doubt that for most of the Jews of Europe there could not have been a more propitious moment for the messiah to deliver salvation than the moment Sabbetai Zevi made his appearance.

If Christ is real they all know they are destined for hell!

Christ is the concept of rebirth and everlasting life. Until christcucks drop this retarded notion that an over edited book centuries old and the story of a Galilean should take place over simply looking outside and witnessing God and the story of Christ in existence you will continually yield to subversions against the thing you claim to value the most. Where’s the next step for Christians? It started with divorce, homosexuality, transgender-abominations, pathological universal love, abortion? Clearly you have missed something in the teachings you seem to stand by with self righteous. Your teachings have utterly lost the concepts of God and Christ.

I honestly believe it's because nothing is allowed to be natural. If it was in our society, We would have never accepted Gay rights. It goes against everything Christianity speaks of. Yet again we blame the Jews for everything bad in our society and it's for a good reason. Its because of Sabbatai and his following from the Jews. He literally created why everything fucking sucks now. And why everything is so evil and why everyone is so depressed and why the Jews think everything is so awesome right now.

They are destined for hell if they cant take Jesus Christ as their savior and messiah.
