From Eliyahu
Hello friends,
Times are changing in a lot of ways, including internet freedom. You probably have heard or noticed that the big social sites are making it harder for people to find and/or receive information the establishment has labeled "fake news" - which is really any information that doesn't agree with their approved narrative. In other words, censorship of the internet. This is now affecting Tsiyon, and a lot of other people, at YouTube.
YouTube has changed how subscribing to our YouTube channel works. Now, if they want to know whenever Tsiyon Tabernacle publishes a video, simply subscribing to our channel is not enough. YouTube subscribers to our channel won't receive notifications unless they also click on the bell, next to the Subscribe button. I've illustrated this below:
First in an internet browser go to https://www.youtube.com/c/tsiyontabernacle
I suggest that you go and do this now, while you are thinking about it.
OK,
now that we've swatted that fly, let's move on to something more meaningful. I'm
talking about Messiah's Sermon on the Mount, and specifically the first part
of Matthew 6.
I'm calling this "Get Real With God."
As we watch our freedom of speech narrowing down (as above) it is not hard to imagine a world where just telling the truth can get you killed (Oh yeah, that can happen now). Anyway, I digress. In 1st century Judea that kind of oppression was totally the rule. The occupying Romans need no introduction, when it comes to oppression and tyranny. Then we have the line of Edomite kings installed under them, the Herods. The Herods were completely paranoid and even killed members of their own family, let alone people like John/Yohanan who said things the Herods didn't like. Some brave souls spoke up now and then, and promptly paid the price, which kept most people pretty quiet. The Pharisees, of course, supported the corrupt establishment and reaped many earthly benefits for keeping the people in line through a false application of religion among the populous. Religion has always been used by the state to keep the people in line, so this was not surprising.
What was surprising was someone fearlessly speaking out against the sins of the whole rotten system, especially the false religious system. I'm talking about Y'shua Messiah and the Sermon on the Mount. Realize this was the first major teaching recorded in Matthew shortly after He began His ministry. Suddenly He was on the scene, speaking these amazing truths to multitudes. It is almost impossible to imagine what it must have been like to those oppressed people of Judea to see and hear this fearless speaker of Truth! Surprisingly, His message was not to rise up and overthrow the corrupt system. Rather, His message was: don't be corrupt like them! Don't be religious like them! Don't be phony-balogna like them! He was telling the people: get real with God!
Why was He saying this? He was seeking to raise up a remnant of righteousness in Yah's nation - the same work we are continuing today. The truth has not changed. Religion still is not enough. The message is going out to all who will here: Get real with God!
Join us for our meeting tonight at 8 PM CST, to be changed and uplifted by the words of the Master.
Shalom, Eliyahu

Netanyahu to Iran: 'Don't threaten Israel, we're a tiger not a rabbit'
Reprint: Jerusalem Post, 12/14/2016
Earlier on Wednesday,
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Israel will not exist 25
years from now.
ASTANA, Kazakhstan — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu conveyed a message to
Iran on Wednesday, warning the Islamic Republic's leaders, "Don't threaten us,
we are not a rabbit we are a tiger. If you threaten us you endanger yourself."
Netanyahu sent the message after being asked during his visit to Kazakhstan by
President Nursultan Nazarbayev if he wants to send a message to Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani, who was scheduled to visit Kazakhstan next week.
Netanyahu added that if Iran changes its policy and its attitude to Israel, "We
will change ours."
When he was asked by his host if he sincerely believed that Iran means what it
says, that it wants to destroy Israel, he answered, "Yes, I do believe it."
Earlier on Wednesday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that
Israel will not exist 25 years from now.
Hours before Netanyahu's statement, Khamenei claimed that the "liberation of
Palestine" remains the number one issue facing the Muslim world despite the
numerous conflicts currently destabilizing the Middle East.
Khamenei made the comments during a meeting with the head of Palestinian terror
organization Islamic Jihad in Tehran, according to semi-official Iranian news
agency Press TV.
“Despite being engaged in certain regional issues, the Islamic Republic has
always announced explicitly that Palestine is the number one issue in the Muslim
world and has fulfilled its obligations in this regard,” Khamenei told the
group's leader, Ramadan Abdullah Shalah.
The Iranian leader continued by stating that the "only way to liberate the holy
city of al-Quds is struggle and resistance," while adding "other solutions are
useless and futile.”
Al-Quds is the Arabic word for Jerusalem.
Khamenei also rejected claims that religious issues were at the heart of
regional tensions, casting blame on the United States and its allies.
“The Sunni people of Aleppo, Mosul and other cities are being slaughtered by the
Takfiri criminals, therefore, these crises have nothing to do with
Sunnis or Shias,” the leader said.
Takfir is a Muslim who accuses another Muslim of apostasy.
Instability in the region, Khamenei insisted, was the fault of the United States
and its interference in the affairs of Middle East countries, describing
Washington as “the most arrogant [power] and the Great Evil.”
The comments came a day after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that the
only option left for Palestinians in the pursuit of an independent state was
"jihad," Iranian news agency Fars reported.
"Today, the world public opinion is faced with this strong argument that the
Zionist regime has never been after peace, and this argument and reasoning
should be used to show that there is no way, but jihad and resistance for the
Palestinians against the usurper regime," he said to Shalah during their
meeting on Tuesday.
According to Fars, Rouhani blamed Israel for increased sectarian conflicts in
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and North Africa.
Iran's supreme leader and president frequently rail against the United States
and Israel, making threats specifically against the Jewish state with promises
of annihilation.
