Rabbi Daniel Shlomo Zion (1883-1979) was the chief rabbi of Bulgarian Jews during World War II. When Nazi Germany demanded the extermination of the Bulgarian Jews, R. Daniel Zion was instrumental in obtaining protection and rescue for those persecuted Jews. Armed with his strong faith in God and in the Messiah Yeshua, R.

Amen! “…Salvation is from Yeshua alone.” And the Lord Jesus/Yeshua is holding out His loving hand to us today with His wonderful words of life, “..let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev. 22:17b)
Between the sixth and seventh seal in the sixth chapter of Revelation, there will be 144,000 Jews sealed with the seal of the Lord. Twelve thousand from each tribe, they will be the remnant of the Jews who will serve the Lord through the tribulation. More people will be brought to the Lord then, than through the entire church age. These 144,000 will not be touched by the wrath of the Lord during Jacob’s trouble, they will be the final evangelist before the coming of the Lord to reign on His throne in Jerusalem.
I see the Lord working in Israel now and wonder how many of these coming to the Lord today will be part of that great army of evangelists.
