Listener Comments - Seeing the Kingdom
   I've been listening to you for about a year now and I'm convinced the Lord guided me to find you on the radio as I was traveling back from Louisiana to Alabama. It was maybe weeks after I just had, what I thought at the time, a strange desire to know what the Jewish people where saying about Jesus as Messiah in this day and age. Then, for another, what I thought, strange reason I found you speaking on "coming out of Babylon" and I knew only a Jewish person would use such terms. I've been growing in a better understanding of God's Word ever since.
   I'm in a bible study at a Baptist Church and the teacher keeps stating that the book of Matthew and everything in it is only for the Jews and that there is no spiritual Kingdom to be recognized by the church in the present age. He stated there will only be a physical Kingdom when Jesus returns to the earth.
   Based on what I believe the Spirit of God has shown me, I believe there is a spiritual kingdom in which I'm a citizen now. I just don't know how to get him to see it or explain it in class. Am i wrong for thinking his eyes are not open and that's why he cant see or understand that there is a kingdom now? Its frustrating, but it feels like I see something that others around me don't see or get.
   Please share your understanding based on what scripture teaches. Thank you for your time and faithfulness to God and bringing new broadcasts. I'm always waiting for what's coming next!

Tsiyon Answer - Seeing the Kingdom

When Y'shua was on the earth He established His Kingdom, and He has been ruling His people as King ever since.

See the following program, and those programs following it, on the Kingdom:

http://tsiyon.org/messiah_establishes_kingdom/

The Scriptures are clear about the Kingdom. Consider this:

"..thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in light; who delivered us out of the domain of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love" Col 1:12-13.

Notice that it is the Father who delivers the believer from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom - and that the Kingdom is a present reality. You cannot move someone who is still in darkness into the Kingdom. Only the Father can do that. If they don't see the Kingdom that is because the Kingdom is not their experience - which means they are still in darkness. My question to you would be: Why would you, a citizen of the Kingdom, receive teaching from someone still in darkness? I encourage you to speak to the King about that.

Listener Comments - Seeing the Kingdom
    Thank you for taking the time to respond to my email. Ive been praying about knowing the Lord's will as it concerns my purpose in that bible study. The Lord had told me exactly what you said about why the teacher couldn't see the Kingdom.
   I've been "in church" most of my life and my eyes were opened to The Kingdom about a year ago and The Word has come alive to me. I'm understanding more and more about Yahweh's love for me and the more i learn, the more I don't want anything to do with this world.
    I just have this feeling that the Lord is preparing me for something.
   I thank Yahweh for Tsiyon and I pray for He will continue to use you and Dawn to reach the remnant as well as share the Truth from a Hebraic point of view to give understanding and guidance as other members of the body of Christ prepare for His return.
  I can't wait to hear the new message every week.

Tsiyon Answer - Seeing the Kingdom

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  Nobody sees the Kingdom who isn't specifically transferred into it, as you have been. Surely YHWH is preparing you for your unique and special place in His Kingdom.

Many blessings to you, as you continue following the King.

Listener Comments - Jacob or Abraham
    Why does it say in Genesis 33:19 that Jacob bought the field from the sons of Hamor but in Acts 7:16 it says that Abraham bought it?  And if I can ask another short question: What is Sh'khem today? 

Tsiyon Answer - Jacob and Abraham

Thanks for your question about Shechem. What the inspired record seems to be telling us is that the Shechem site was purchased twice, once by Abraham and later by Jacob. The Scriptures do not explain why the same site was purchased twice. Here is a speculation. There is evidence in Scripture of some bad blood between Jacob's family and the men of Shechem (Genesis 34). It is not inconceivable that Shechemites fraudulently reclaimed the property for themselves at some point after Abraham's generation, holding it hostage to get more money out of Jacob later. Property scams like this happen today, so something like this could easily have happened then. Other scenarios could be offered, but the point is, there is no reason that some circumstance could not have arisen to require Jacob to purchase the site a second time.

Some interesting modern-day history of Shechem can be found here:
