Tsiyon Was Shut Down! ..for a while:

Last weekend the Tsiyon web site was shut down by our web host without notice. When we contacted tech support to get the site back up we learned that we had been shut down for some unknown offense. Our account was paid up so we knew it wasn't that. We were told we would have to speak with a supervisor. However, none would consent to talk with us, either by email or when we called on the phone. They completely stonewalled us - so we were left with no alternative but to go through the hassle of moving everything to a new web host. Which we have done. Needless to say, that's why we don't have all of our web features working yet. (Anybody out there who is strong in db-driven websites who would like to give us a hand?)

The question is, why would they do this and then not even tell us why? Our conclusion: somebody in high places doesn't like our message. All the more reason for YOU to hear it!

Listener Feedback & Answers:

A Gentile believer...
I was excited to find this website. I am a Gentile believer who has a heart for Yeshua, Israel and the Jews (I am an intercessor) and who also loves to study the OT. Over the years I have searched out many reference books in order to try and gain a deeper understanding of the scriptures and also obtain an understanding from a Hebraic perspective, but they never gave me the depth of insight I was looking for. I also tried to find some Messianic websites in hopes I could find perspective there, but nothing.

My passion has always been to know the truth and understand the scriptures. So in light of current events, I decided to go back to the book of Revelation and start a new study; at the same time crying out for God to reveal Himself and His Word to me, in a deeper way, so that I could better understand the times we are in. I also decided to look online for some new study materials. As I searched online I came across your website and was immediately drawn to the teachings on Revelation. As I listened, I began to see things more clearly and realized that the Lord was answering my questions through your teachings. I feel like I've come to a banqueting table.

Thank you for your inspiring message. Our radio program is literally made for people like you who love the truth and want to hear it, whether it is familiar or an entirely different view of things. Frankly, most can't handle what we have to say. They listen to what they like and then when a pet doctrine gets blown they're gone. Radio hosts/teachers are normally sensitive to that. They want to build an audience and be popular - so they stick with what people want to hear so they can build their audience. As a business model that works. That's why you get basically the same thing from most all of them.

Here's why we are different. The fear of God. It's as simple as that. He specifically called me to this mission and I am personally responsible to speak the message He has given me. That's what I do. The radio program is just a means and a format that allows me to get the message out. I don't ever expect to have the "number 1" most popular teaching program out there. I expect most people to be offended and to leave. Even so, I want as many people as possible to consider our message because we (Yah and I) are sifting through all of those people to find the precious few who want to follow His truth as far as it leads, no matter what the cost.

Dawn and I are feeling a great sense of urgency. No doubt you are feeling it as well. We NEED partners like you who value the truth as we do and who will support the ministry with prayer and financial support, and whatever personal talents you may be able to put to work in service to our King. Thank you for sharing your heart with us, as well as for the support you are offering in partnering with us. We pray that you will be uplifted, blessed and prepared for the days ahead as a result of pressing on with God as a seeker after His truth. -Tsiyon

Should I Move To Another Congregation?
After hearing your messages,  it makes me wonder if I should move to another congregation, since so many people including my congregation leader believe in the pre-trib rapture + I don't hear messages like the ones U give with these explanations. Your messages are very  different and a new one I haven't heard before, yet it rings [with] a strong sense of truth and [is] a very make sense explanation. I want to sit under teachings that are truths. However my congregational leader gives very good messages, but we don't see eye to eye on everything .. one example,  I believe the Torah is for everyone to keep and follow who accepts Yeshua and wants to follow God,  but some people at my congregation including the leader don't think so.  He believes it [is only] for those that are called to it.  And he thinks that is ok if some believers don't keep the Torah.  Also I have a new understanding now of how to spend Shabbat. I am a Jewish believer since 1990. -R

Conclusion
The awesome feedback we get as sampled above more than makes up for the angry "remove me from your list!" emails we also get - and all the rest of the flack from the enemy that we are constantly deflecting to bring you the message. We graciously accept both positive and negative responses. These are critical days and we will all have to pick a side before these days are concluded. We pray for you, His beloved remnant, that you will take nothing for granted. That you will seek out truth as more precious than silver or gold. That you will be willing to pay any cost and to scale any height, even Tsiyon's height, to follow Him. We pray that you will rise up in the irresistible power of the Ruah/Spirit to be an overcomer in His Name! Are you with me? ..Yes!
