* Shalom Family, we will continue to expose the ideologies of the people who have attacked us and are the people behind trying to get us kicked off of platforms by calling us “High Risk” on government and nonprofit watch lists. We need to know how these people think and who they serve. We will continue with this blog format for the next several blogs.
What Is Frankism? The Origins of a Heretical Sect
Frankism was birthed in the 18th century by Jacob Frank (1726–1791), a Polish-Jewish mystic who claimed to be the reincarnation of Shabtai Tzvi, another self-proclaimed messiah. Frank blended Sabbatean antinomianism (lawlessness) with Kabbalistic magic, Catholic rituals, and occult teachings.
Frank taught his followers that salvation could only be achieved through the “liberation of the soul by sin”—the complete inversion of biblical commandments. He rejected the Torah and encouraged acts of blasphemy, incest, and lawbreaking to break down societal and religious norms.
The Ongoing Influence of Frankism
Though Jacob Frank died in 1791, the movement did not die with him. Frankist ideologies secretly infiltrated European aristocracy, Jesuit circles, and later Freemasonry and Zionist political circles. Many researchers have linked Frankism to modern globalist ideologies that seek to redefine morality, religion, and identity.
Even the phrase “Let me be frank” is believed by some to be derived from the concept of speaking in a “blunt,” unapologetic tone, as promoted by Frank and his followers, who prided themselves on challenging religious and social norms. While linguistically the phrase evolved from the old French “franc” meaning free, its philosophical embrace of open rebellion against spiritual authority echoes Frankist thought and ideology.
Hebrew Israelites: A Restoration of the Covenant
In sharp contrast, Hebrew Israelite doctrine is centered on the restoration of the covenant between the Most High YAHUAH and His chosen people—descendants of ancient Israel scattered throughout the world.
Hebrew Israelites:
Uphold the Torah as the foundation of righteous living (Deuteronomy 30:15-16)
Acknowledge YAHUSHUA as the true Messiah (Isaiah 53; John 14:6)
Reject all forms of paganism, mysticism, and lawlessness
Unlike Frankism’s call to destroy biblical commands, Hebrew Israelites seek to restore them—to return to the ancient paths (Jeremiah 6:16) and walk in holiness.
(See our book, The Path: Of Righteousness)
Doctrine of Sin: Obedience vs. Inversion
Frankism teaches a theology of deliberate transgression. Jacob Frank openly declared that “one must descend into the abyss of sin in order to ascend spiritually.” This belief mirrors Satan’s original rebellion: the perversion of righteousness into wickedness.
The Bible says the opposite:
“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”
—1 John 3:4 (KJV)
Hebrew Israelites uphold that:
Righteousness is defined by obedience to Torah (Psalm 119:142)
Salvation is through repentance, not rebellion (Acts 3:19)
“Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16, quoting Leviticus 20:7)
This is why Romans 6:1-2 declares:
“Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? YAHUAH forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
Frankism glorifies sin. Hebrew Israelite doctrine crucifies the flesh (Galatians 5:24).
View of the Messiah: False Christ vs. YAHUSHUA
Frank declared himself the Messiah, replacing the true Son of Elohim with his own blasphemous image. His messiahship was based not on prophecy or righteousness, but manipulation, magic, and corruption.
YAHUSHUA, by contrast, fulfilled hundreds of prophecies (Isaiah 7:14, Micah 5:2, Isaiah 53). He was perfect, sinless, and the ultimate Passover Lamb.
“Behold the Lamb of YAHUAH, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
—John 1:29 (KJV)
Frankism’s messiah is an antichrist—a man exalting himself as YAHUAH.
“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”
—Matthew 24:5 (KJV)
Hebrew Israelites believe in the return of YAHUSHUA, not a false, man-made messiah.
(See our book, The Path: Of Righteousness)
Secret Societies and Hidden Agendas
Frankism survived through secrecy and infiltration. Frankist families often converted to Catholicism publicly while secretly practicing occult rituals. Some joined Jesuit orders or Freemasonic lodges, where Kabbalistic and mystical teachings continued in secret.
“Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark… for they say, The ELOHIM seeth us not…”
—Ezekiel 8:12 (KJV)
Hebrew Israelite doctrine condemns secrecy, occultism, and syncretism. The Torah is to be written on the heart and taught openly (Deuteronomy 6:6-9).
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father…”
—Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
The light of truth cannot coexist with the shadows of esoteric secrecy.
Moral Law vs. Lawlessness
Frankism was the spiritual inversion of truth:
Good was called evil
Evil was called good
The holy was defiled
The profane was elevated
Isaiah 5:20 warns:
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…”
Frankist societies practiced ritual orgies, child defilement, and religious blasphemy as part of their path to so-called redemption. This is the same spirit found in modern occult circles, radical left and right ideologies, and Global elite circles.
Hebrew Israelites walk in the moral clarity of the Commandments:
“The law of the ELOHIM is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the ELOHIM is sure, making wise the simple.”
—Psalm 19:7 (KJV)
Prophetic Warnings Against Frankist-Type Apostasy
The Bible warned that before the return of the Messiah, there would be:
A falling away (2 Thessalonians 2:3)
Doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1)
A system called Mystery Babylon (Revelation 17)
Frankism is Babylonian in nature—filled with sorcery, rebellion, and sexual perversion. It serves the same spirit as the beast system.
YAHUAH’s people are commanded:
“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins…”
—Revelation 18:4 (KJV)
This is the hour of separation between the remnant of righteousness and the agents of deception.
(See our book, The Chosen Seed: Predestination)
Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve
Frankism is not just a heresy of the past. It is a living spirit of rebellion disguised as enlightenment. It hides in religion, politics, entertainment, and philosophy.
Hebrew Israelites are not just rejecting Babylon; we are restoring Mount Zion. Our doctrines are built on Torah, prophecy, repentance, and truth.
As Joshua declared:
“…choose you this day whom ye will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve YAHUAH.”
—Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
