1666 and the Dark Messiah - ROBERT SEPEHR

Challenging information as suggested from our friend Devon:
#Kabbalah is the ancient esoteric tradition of mystical interpretation of the #Bible, first transmitted orally and using occult methods, reaching the height of its influence in the later Middle Ages and remains significant in certain religious sects.

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 during the 17th century.

After Sabbati Zeviโ€™s death in 1676, his 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.

Jerusalemโ€™s first female pastor on equality, Israeli occupation, and her new role

_The 26-year-old speaks to us about her duties, discrimination and the challenges posed by the Israeli occupation _

At age 26, Sally Azar has become the first Palestinian female #pastor in the Old City of #Jerusalem. The news has made headlines around the world, as most #Palestinian #Christians belong to denominations that do not allow female clergy, making Azarโ€™s appointment a rare occasion that has been widely celebrated in the region.

Azar was born and raised in Jerusalem, but travelled to #Germany where she studied intercultural theology. Returning back to Jerusalem after spending years living in #Berlin was a shock for Azar. She found herself having to get used to the tense situation on the ground and the restrictions and challenges imposed by the Israeli #occupation.
