"All the world here is talking of a rumor of the return of the Israelites ... to their own country. ... Should the news be confirmed, it may bring about a revolution in all things." (Heinrich Oldenburg letter to Baruch Spinoza.)
The national patrimony of Israel's sons could well bring on a world-wide ideological change. Perhaps the Sabbateans understood something we are only beginning to fathom. Jewish sovereignty is not about Jewish survival as much as it is about revolutionizing the world's ruling structure.
