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.

What’s wrong? Are you mad because I’ve proved you wrong and destroyed your illusion of the beast to deceive people with your myth of the (((anti christ)))
The anti christ is the culture we live in now, that the large majority of Christians by and large support. You abandoned the teachings of Christ by abandoning him. You are heretics and blasphemers and the worshippers of the jews. Repent

And I laugh at you because God has already judged me, it is you who thinks is in his favor while you desecrate his gift of life. Now go run along and support abominations, homosexuality, miscegenation, the empire of the beast in the name of Christ you worshipper of the beast. You have lost and will continue to lose over and over and over again. Only a jew would cower and admiring he is a jew and defies God.
