The book explores the life and claims of Sabatai Sevi, a notable figure in Jewish history who declared himself the Messiah, a role that sparked a significant movement among Jewish communities. It delves into the socio-political implications of Sevi's claims during a time of crisis and anticipation within the Jewish faith. At the start of the narrative, Evelyn presents the fervent beliefs surrounding the year 1666, seen as a prophetic time for Jewish redemption. The segment introduces Sabatai Sevi, who emerged as a charismatic figure in Smyrna, rallying the Jewish people with promises of deliverance and restoration. His initial acclaim leads to widespread anticipation and excitement, as the Jewish populace becomes increasingly consumed by his message, abandoning their daily lives in favor of fervent preparations for a promised kingdom. The opening sets the stage for the mingled hope and eventual disillusionment surrounding Sevi's dramatic claims and their profound impact on the Jewish community.
