Towards the end of the 16th century there appeared on the Continent the first speculation on millennialism coupled with the idea of the restoration of the Jews. Michael Servetus, a Unitarian, believed that the ingathering of God’s Chosen People meant the Jewish people as a nation. He was accused of being an “anti-Trinitarian Judaizer” and was burned at the stake as a heretic. Not long thereafter, Francis Kett, an Englishman, echoed the same sentiments and came to the same fate as Servetus.26 But less than 10 years later Thomas Brightman (1562-1607) was to espouse a thoroughgoing millenarianism with impunity, as we shall see.
