Thoughts from Eliyahu ben David:

Right now we have some new faces at our home. Shane came here all the way from Canada on his motorcycle. He has been here for a few days. He has only been associated with Tsiyon for a few months, but already he has listened to all the programs and has read everything he can get his hands on from us. Right now he is devouring my proof copy of my new book, Announcing: Judgment Day. I've got to find something else for him to chew on after he finishes the book. If I don't I'm afraid he might suck my brain out through my ear! Seriously, this young man is absolutely insatiable. I don't think we've retired before 1 AM since Shane has been here (kind of rough with 5 kids getting up at 6 AM .. who needs sleep, right?). Shane takes the phrase "I've got a few questions" to a whole new level! If any of this sounds like a complaint it is really just the opposite. We are blessed to have Shane with us. Where Shane lives he is surrounded by godlessness and unbelief, yet he loves YHWH with all his heart. Shane is an overcomer. Besides that, he is really helpful in every way - he even fixed my car for me! :-)

Just when Shane was easing off on the questions because he's concentrating on the book, Rebecca showed up. Rebecca got here last night. She had been listening to Tsiyon CDs all the way from Ohio! Perfect timing. It's like tag team wrestling! Shane tagged off to Rebecca and soon I was being pummeled with questions from a whole new direction! 

All kidding aside, what I love about both Shane and Rebecca, and all of our ministry partners, is that love of truth that just keeps digging deeper. Something both of them report is a tendency to annoy people because of asking the "wrong" questions and believing the "wrong" things. The scattered remnant have constantly been made to feel that there is something wrong with them because they have loved the truth enough to just keep digging - no matter what others think. It is a big discovery and a big relief to find out that it is the world that is wrong! This is the confirmation you get when you meet other remnant believers who have been walking in that same experience you have been walking in for years. It is a wonderful thing to find out you really are part of a bigger plan and that other people like you are discovering that too. I reached that point a while ago, but I am seeing that awakening going on now with an increasing number of folks. That's where some of us are at right now, in the spring of 2009.

"Then those who feared YHWH spoke one with another; and YHWH listened, and heard, and a book of memory was written before him, for those who feared YHWH, and who honored his name. "They shall be mine,” says YHWH of Hosts, “my own possession in the day that I make, and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him. Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn’t serve him"" Mal 3:16-18

It has been hard for the remnant who fear YHWH, who are scattered in the midst of the wicked. Be encouraged! YHWH has written your name in His book. Now, it is a whole new day.

Shalom,

Eliyahu ben David
