converted <strong>to</strong> Islam. In <strong>the</strong> Frankists Godhead, we can find <strong>the</strong><br />
four personalities represented by: 1. Atika Kadisha, 2. Malka<br />
Kadisha, 3. Shechina, and 4. The Great Bro<strong>the</strong>r. 95 The last<br />
may account for <strong>the</strong> term "Big Bro<strong>the</strong>r." The first three<br />
designations are legitimate Kabbalistic terms for mystical<br />
manifestations of God's presence.<br />
When we examine <strong>the</strong> personalities as being exemplary of<br />
stages of <strong>the</strong> revolution, Elijah represents <strong>the</strong> ultimate<br />
Messiah, which is reached by starting with Judaism,<br />
represented by Jonathan Eibeschutz; going <strong>to</strong> Islam<br />

Frankist type of connotation, where <strong>the</strong>re are six portals<br />
depicting Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity,<br />
Confucianism and Hinduism.<br />
The question may be asked as <strong>to</strong> why much of this<br />
information has escaped wider study. Gershom Scholem<br />
attempts <strong>to</strong> answer this question in his "Holiness of Sin," as<br />
follows:<br />
"Secularist his<strong>to</strong>rians, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, have been at pains<br />
<strong>to</strong> de-emphasize <strong>the</strong> role of Sabbatianism for a different<br />
reason. Not only did most of <strong>the</strong> families once associated with<br />
