Zola has gone to be with the Lord
I have just heard the news that his promotion has come through. He went very peacefully today at about 11:15 AM at home.
There will be a private, family funeral soon and a memorial service in about two weeks.

I praise the Lord for the life He granted to Zola; for Zola’s willingness to be used by God in great ways; for the thousands of lives he touched through his ministry and music; and for the grace and peace of knowing that Zola’s reward can be ours, too, someday.

I have checked on Zola’s condition every day.
It is never easy, I just can’t believe he is no longer here.
God’s time is perfect. He went to the Lord on this special day.
Each day will get a little better from here.

“The righteous pass away; the godly often die before their time. And no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For the godly who die will rest in peace.” Isaiah 57:1-2 NLT
Bless Zola and his family!
April 19th, 2006 at 12:45 pm
We’re so saddened to lose this dear man of God from our physical realm. We look forward to meeting him in heaven. Our prayers go up to Jehovah for the family to be strengthened and comforted. Shalom dear Zola!

Zola will surely be missed by Neva and I. He taught us the “truth” over a 26 year period. His brand of teaching is unsurpassed by anyone and will continue to live on through his tapes and writings. We prayed for a peaceful end for Zola and the Lord honored that prayer. Our condolences to his family, staff and many followers. We loved him too. Steve & Neva Stanbrough

Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed.
I am so glad you gave! Ray Boltz said it best, I couldn’t say it better.

Zola has been greeted and has heard these words already;
“Welcome home thou good and faithful servant”
I love him and already miss him.

April 19th, 2006 at 1:03 pm
How awesome to be promoted at Easter Time and experience the resurrection for himself first hand – and I suspect for a totally different reason, he’d be asking (if he could) to return to earth to tell us of all that he’s seeing and discovering right now – you can almost hear him saying how he’d love to share how he was right about x or wrong about y but that EVERYTHING in scripture is completely accurate and that we equally need to look up for our redemption is equally nigh regardless of whether we may have warning of it or not. I think it was doubly awesome he got notice in advance without it being dragged out so that he could prepare his legacy as he desired to, and provide his final instructions to all of us. Looking forward to that day myself

I am so saddened to hear of Zola leaving us. But I am praising God for the dedicated life he had before the Lord. He is now coming into his crowning moment, getting to be with the Lord and Savior that he so diligently shared with everyone. I thank this ministry for it’s support of Israel and speaking the truth. Zola we will miss you so much. Love and prayers to Zola’s family and staff at the ministry. Blessings and peace, Frankie
April 19th, 2006 at 1:07 pm
Our sweet Zola! How we will miss him. I only wish we could wrap our arms around Sandra, Mark, Aaron, Will, and all you loving staff, to help in this time. Thank you all for sharing so graciously with all of us. You are all in our loving prayers. God bless you all.

I am so sure that Zola was greeted as a favorite son Although he is missed in the physical he will be felt in the spiritual at all times. Oddly enough I feel him around right now. He really is able now to see just how many people love him AND appreciate his guidance.

My prayers are with all of his family and friends. We will miss him very much. No seed is ever lost. We loved him.
April 19th, 2006 at 1:19 pm
I am so happy for Zola that he’s in the presence of our Lord today, seeing things that we only dream of. However, for those of us left here on earth, it is truly a sad day…..my prayers are with Zola’s family, and the staff at the Levitt Letter
April 19th, 2006 at 1:41 pm
This is really a sad day for those of us left behind. But a joyous one for Zola and his Father in heaven. What a wonderful experience he must be having.
He will be sorely missed by me as well as others who loved his devotion to teaching God’s Word to the Jew first, then the Gentiles.
Farewell for now, brother in Christ.

I cannot say how blessed I have been by Zola’s teaching and look forward to meeting him in heaven! It is painful to think of him gone from this earth, but how glorious to know he’s with the Lord!
May the Lord give strength and blessings to his family.
April 19th, 2006 at 1:43 pm
Thank you Zola for your faithful service to our FATHER.
April 19th, 2006 at 1:52 pm
Sandra, I know how lonely it can be, even when a person has plenty of warning (I had four years). But we know he is rejoicing with the Lord, and I just pray that you have plenty of people around you to help heal the loneliness. And at this time it helps to knw that the Lord Himself wants to be a husband to us and wrap His loving arms around us. Just stay busy with Zola’s work and stay close to the Lord. We love you, even though we never had a chance to meet you.
April 19th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
May Zola this day be found in the bosom of Abraham;
and hear the words ~
Well done, good and faithful servant.
April 19th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
WELL DONE MY CHILD!!! YOUR RACE IS OVER!
April 19th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
What a glorius day for Zola and what a sad day for those of us left to continue the journey here on Earth.
May our hearts be filled with Joy in knowing that he is in the presence of the Lord.
We will miss you Zola, we will see you in a short while.
April 19th, 2006 at 2:04 pm
Although I knew this was coming, knowing did not make it easier to hear. The world has lost a bright light in Zola – a much dimmer place now. I feel as though all the wind i could muster has just left me. This ministry has meant so much to me. God be with you and your family now and always. I’ll not be selfish now – these are tears of joy.
April 19th, 2006 at 2:14 pm
I think of Zola as one of the finest teachers I’ve had. I feel such a tremendous loss for someone I never had the pleasure of meeting, and yet I’m so thrilled for this faithful servant who now has the arms of Yeshua wrapped around him. I pray for the peace of Yeshua to fill the family and friends of Zola until he welcomes them into the presence of The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Praise His Holy name!
April 19th, 2006 at 2:17 pm
My son and I are so very honored to partner with this ministry…
We want to thank Mrs. Levitt and Mark for “sharing” Zola with the World…
We pray for the Lord to Bless and comfort the family of the man who taught this

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem!!!
Congradulations on a life well lived!!!

I was deeply saddened at the news of Zola’s passing, but in the midst of tears, I was quickly reminded, “Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the LORD. We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the LORD. So we make it our goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it”…2 Corinthians 5:6-9. Praying for Shalom to come to those who knew and loved him so much.
April 19th, 2006 at 2:25 pm
Welcome Home, Good and Faithful Servant.
May God’s peace and comfort be with Zola’s family, staff, and Those who were close to him.
April 19th, 2006 at 2:26 pm
A glorious day for Zola, but a sad day for those of us whom he left behind for a time. His ministry changed my life. I am so grateful for him. “Precious is the death of those He loves.” I’m looking forward to the wedding supper of the Lamb. My prayers are with Zola’s family now. May Yahweh Shalom (The Lord of Peace) be with them at this time.
April 19th, 2006 at 2:32 pm
To be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. I am glad that his suffering is over and his wonderful life in heaven is begining. Many people in my family have died from cancer, I now how hard it must be for his wonderful wife. I pray the Lord will give her comfort and strength.
April 19th, 2006 at 2:32 pm
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
The thing I appreciated most about Zola was his ability to show how ridiculous the schemes of men are in the face of an all-powerful God. His ‘take’ on things made good news from Israel sweeter and bad news easier to hear. He kept things in proper perspective.
It is hard right now to put this news in the proper perspective; my spirit rejoices that Zola has reached his reward without protracted suffering, but my soul grieves. His gain is our loss. Nonetheless, God knows what He is doing; He took Zola at the *right* time according to His plan.
April 19th, 2006 at 2:33 pm
DEAR ZOLA I LOVE YOU MY FREIND I KNOW YOU ARE AT HOME NOW,,, OUT OF THAT SICK BODY OH MY DEAR SAUNDRA I WILL PROMISE TO PRAY I PROMISE ,,,I KNOW HE IS AT HOME NOW WE WILL ALL SEE HIM VERY SOON I KNOW ,,,OH IAM SORRY I WILL BE IN MUCH PRAYER FOR YOU AND PEACE AND MUCH LOVE TO YOU.

IN CHRIST WITH LOVE TO ALL, WE LOVE YOU ALL AND YES WE WILL ALL PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM AS ZOLA ALWAYS SAID. KIMBERLY W.
April 19th, 2006 at 2:38 pm
“Well done, good and faithfull Servant” I’m sure those were not the first words that
Zola heard when he opened his eyes in God’s realm. May Yeshua grant peace and rest to
his family and all who loved him, including myself. Zola’s going to the Lord leads me
to believe the “fullness of the Gentiles” is near. God bless all of you who worship at
his feet.
April 19th, 2006 at 2:44 pm
Iam so sad to check the web page and find that Zola is gone, but we all know he is where GOD would have him. We enjoyed his teaching on Israel so much, but as always GOD knows best and HE can has the prefect plan. God’s Blessing to all the family and staff.
April 19th, 2006 at 3:40 pm
Zola’s passover has been completed today, just as our
physical Passover is completed today. I will miss him
terribly, but as I tell my patient’s families, “it is
not goodby, it is until we meet again”!
HaShem bless the family of Zola and know that you
know, He is in the presence of HaShem and Yeshua.
Peace be with you. My prayers are with you.
April 19th, 2006 at 3:41 pm
I was sad to hear that our good friend Zola is gone,he will be missed. He is now in the arms of Yashua our Lord and Savior.
Blessings to his family and staff members.
April 19th, 2006 at 4:00 pm
Shalom, my dear brother in Yeshua. Enjoy your headstart, we will all talk soon enough. In Christ,
April 19th, 2006 at 4:09 pm
My thoughts and prayers are with Zola’s family and friends and my praise and thanks are to the L-rd for giving us all such a beautiful blessing in Zola’s life. Hashem is good all the time and He never makes mistakes. I learned this when my mother died at the age of 56 but now I can say it with joy.
April 19th, 2006 at 4:10 pm
I was so sad, yet happy, that Zola went to heaven today. My husband died today, 5 years ago. I loved to watch and hear Zola, and to read his books. we all will look forward to seeing him again. God be with you family.
April 19th, 2006 at 4:12 pm
Although I grieve hearing his passing from this world, Zola will be greeted in Heaven hearing the phrase…. “Well done good and faithful servant”. One day we will see him again.Its just a matter of time.
April 19th, 2006 at 4:15 pm
The Lord bless Zola and his ministry. He changed the lives of my family in so many ways.
He will be missed here.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and staff members.
April 19th, 2006 at 4:16 pm
Just wanted to let Zola’s family and ministry staff know I’m praying for them. I’ve followed Zola’s ministry for years. Thank you Zola for blessing my life. I also pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
April 19th, 2006 at 4:17 pm
I am lost for words because I will miss him SO
much!I know that he is happy now that he is with
his Lord and never to suffer again.My prayers are
with his family and staff.What courage he showed
us during his illness.He kept teaching us to the end!Thank you sweet Zola.

“…the righteous are taken away from the evil to come” (Isaiah 57:1)
When the deluge is coming they are called into the ark…those are taken away that stood in the gap to turn away the judgements of God.
It is a sign that God intends war when He calls home His ambassadors…
April 19th, 2006 at 4:21 pm
Zola now sees in full, he knows in full. Zola is more fully alive than he’s ever been, in the Presence of Messiah. Many prayers for the family, and many thanks for SHARING Zola with all of Christendom. Thank you Zola for a race well run, be it we could see Christians run as he did more often….Grace & Peace
April 19th, 2006 at 4:26 pm
Thank you Zola, for your good and faithful service.
See you soon (it sure looks that way!).
April 19th, 2006 at 4:28 pm
Dear Sandra, Mark, and Levitt family,
There are no human words at a time of loss; I am confident that Jesus is comforting you and your family with all comfort in the Holy Spirit.
Peace be with you,

April 19th, 2006 at 4:29 pm

April 19th, 2006 at 4:42 pm
My heart is broken over losing Zola. I have learned so much from watching and listening to him all these years. I had the privilege of meeting him and Sandra twice. I hope the ministry will continue as he wished. God bless and comfort you, Sandra.
April 19th, 2006 at 4:44 pm
Dear Sandra, Mark, Aaron and Staff,
God bless each one of you as you carry on this tremendous work the Lord has given you.
You have my prayers, support and love and best wishes.
Thank you Lord for the years we had Zola with us….He made such a difference in our lives for which we will be eternally grateful.

April 19th, 2006 at 4:59 pm
I can hardly believe that this precious soul is no longer with us on earth! What a blessing his ministry, his teachings and his life as been. He has touched countless of us who have been seeking a closer walk with our Messiah. What a time he must be having right now!
Zola was such a good and faithful servant. He was faithful over many things and now he is enjoying his reward. I look forward to meeting meeting him in heaven.
My prayers and thoughts to you Sandra and Mark and all of Zola’s family. May the Holy Spirit comfort you during this time.
April 19th, 2006 at 5:04 pm
I “grew up” with Zola in the Word after I became a Believer. His knowledge,love and concern of, not only Israel, but Christians and what we were being faced with was always touching to me. He was like a little bull dog who wouldn’t let go when it came to incorrect information. Now, he’s at his ultimate state of joy seeing God and our Lord Jesus face to face. My prayer for his wife, son and all in the ministry is the Name of Jesus, there is no more perfect peace than our Lord’s Name. God bless and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Phoenix
April 19th, 2006 at 5:05 pm
Dear family,
We send our love to you and heart felt condolences. A precious one has been promoted. We can only hope to minister with a portion of the impact that this man has had. Christ used him and he touched us, we thank all of you who helped him. Peace to you Sandra in Jesus’ Name. My church is praying and the Lord will sustain you…God bless
April 19th, 2006 at 5:08 pm
Congratulations on being promoted Zola – although we will miss you big time. Yet I dont think it will be very long before we meet you in the gathering of the saints. My prayer is that his family is strong through this loss and that Zola’s ministry carries on stronger than ever! The world needs to hear his programs! Amen.
April 19th, 2006 at 5:12 pm
Evelyn Kinsella and I bless the Lord for everyone of the Levitt’s, Sandra and Will. We are confident in our Lord’s comfort for each of you. Bless his life long friends Harvey and Dan, who the Lord arranged to be there yesterday to spend some time and to get a squeeze of the hand for one of the dearest friend they know. Grace and peace, in the name of Yeshua, who is our peace.
April 19th, 2006 at 5:16 pm
To the family, friends and staff of Zola Levitt Ministries, I send my prayers. Zola seemed like an old friend to me. I have been following him for 23 years. My son, Scott, works for Zola Levitt Ministries and I can assure you that he is treated so special there. He had the opportunity to sit with Zola in his last days and spend nights taking care of his needs. I know my son’s heart is broken as is mine.
I love Zola Levitt. I mourn for him, but rejoice at the same time that he passed peacefully and pain free. That is how I was told to pray and that is how the Lord took him.
Thank you, Jesus for answered prayers and for sending us a man named Zola Levitt to teach us about Israel.
Zola was a generous soul. Sending my son and his wife to Israel last summer as a graduation present from Christ For The Nations. He made one young man’s dream of going to Israel possible.
Shalom, my dear friend…

I celebrate with you the life of Zola. What a blessing he has been to so many and morn with you on his passing. Know he was loved by many and I thank you for the time you lost to let the rest of us have some time with him.
Blessings and Prayers,

April 19th, 2006 at 5:26 pm
Zola continues to bless us, Israel and the family of believers. Our prayers and hearts go out to his family and those closest to his ministry. Our loss is heaven’s gain!
April 19th, 2006 at 5:27 pm
Smiling through tears as I heard the news that Zola has departed.
Since the dead in Christ will rise first, I can’t imagine a more wonderful person to have ahead of us in the air.
I PRAISE YESHUA FOR THE MINISTRY OF ZOLA LEVITT.
April 19th, 2006 at 5:31 pm
What a legacy! Well done faithful servant!
April 19th, 2006 at 5:35 pm
he will be missed,may God bless zola and his family
April 19th, 2006 at 5:40 pm
I’m torn in two. I grieve that Zola is no longer with us, but rejoice that Zola is now with the Lord. Even though I wasn’t able to meet Zola, I always thought of him as a good friend & teacher. I look forward to meeting him at the banquet table and thank him for all he has done in the Lord’s service. My prayers are with his family knowing how hard it is to lose someone you love even though you know you will one day meet again. See you soon Zola!
April 19th, 2006 at 5:42 pm

April 19th, 2006 at 5:42 pm
Zola, my friend, precious Saint of God, your ministry has touched our Family, your Newsletters and your music with beautiful scenes of Isreal. What a blessing you have been to to us enriching our lives. You will be long remembered my Friend. A Righteous man will be remembered forever. So precious are the feet of those who preach the Word of the Lord! Peace be to the Levitt Family now as Yeshua comforts them in this time of passing. This to your honor Zola, “And as always Sha alu Shalom Yerushalyim!” Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Amen.
April 19th, 2006 at 5:47 pm
Mere words cannot convey nor describe this day of Zola’s passing … Yes, a great dedicated and humble servant is not here … He is with Our Lord ….. But, we are here, and Zola didn’t plant all those seeds over the years, for us to keep in a dark and safe place, but to go, tell, bless, give, listen, serve, and in so doing be a Blessed conduit that the Living Lord Jesus may work through … So, today may our tears of ‘Heartfelt Sadness’ and so then mixed with ‘Tears of Joy’, freely flow down and regenerate those precious seeds Zola has planted back to Life ,only to Bless others …. Yes, It is a very very very painful day of loss … but mixed with the Promise of Joy, and the very Presence and Comfort of the Holy Spirit ……
and God’s Timing is So Sweet …..
OH, Holy Are You Lord …
Yes, Lord, We do Raise our Hands and Praise Your Mighty Mighty
Name……
and Worship in ‘Spirit and Truth’ …
You Are So Worthy of Praise !!!
Shalom Zola …
April 19th, 2006 at 5:51 pm
I have watched Zola’s program and taken the newsletter for the last 20 years. For all that time, I have turned to Zola for the truth about Israel. Something you just cannot get from the mainstream media!
His soft spoken teaching and that infectous laugh. I will miss him terribly.
To his family and staff, I pray for your comfort and that you will continue give us the truth about Israel.
April 19th, 2006 at 5:52 pm
He is now happily with Yeshua forever, and we will all someday join him.
Kenneth
April 19th, 2006 at 5:55 pm
I know I should be happy for him, but I am so sad. I learnt so much about my Jewish roots from him, and I wil miss him.
Praying for comfort for his family!
April 19th, 2006 at 5:57 pm
My mom went to be with the Lord March 6th of this year after long bouts with breast and stomach cancer. I was so blessed with Zola’s letter in which he referred to himself as a “wounded soldier still at his post.” That’s how to describe it. The Commander in Chief has said,”Soldier, you are relieved of your post.” It’s up to us to remain faithful at our posts until the Commander in Chief comes back to relieve us. I don’t think it will be long. My prayers are with Zola’s family and staff.
April 19th, 2006 at 5:57 pm
[...] His family and friends are on my thoughts. Rejoice! He’s in the Lord’s Presence now. What better place to be for all eternity? [...]
April 19th, 2006 at 5:59 pm
My Spirit cries out, Praise the Lord, a child of the Living God has gone home. Oh how wonderful and unknowable are the things Zola is seeing and hearing right at this moment. Especially knowing that Zola is in the very presence of our Lord and King Yeshua!!! Oh how we will miss him. We cry tears of joy for Zola and tears of sorrow because he will be so very much missed here on earth. What a warrior!!! As many others have said, now Zola is hearing what we all long to hear,”Well done, thou good and faithful servant!” May God truly bless Zola’s dear family and staff. You are in our thoughts and prayers. And we will always continue to “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” Shalom Zola
See you soon!
April 19th, 2006 at 5:59 pm
The strife is o’er—the battle done, the victory of life is won; the song of triumph has begun: Alleluia!
TRULY GOD`S SOLDIER ZOLA WILL BE MISSED.
April 19th, 2006 at 6:01 pm
Farewell, faithful soldier. You will be greatly missed! Sandra and Mark, may you be comforted by the eternal G-d and lean heavily on those everlasting arms.
April 19th, 2006 at 6:05 pm
Dear Friends, I thank G-d for Zola’s ministry! And I thank G-d for His faithfulness to Zola and to us. I offer my sincere sympathies to Zola’s family and friends. He will be greatly, greatly missed! I pray that another will take up the banner that Zola carried for so long, to continue to teach about Israel, the Land where G-d’s name is written. And may G-d heal the hearts of those who loved him so here and we thank you that you shared him with the rest of us.
April 19th, 2006 at 6:06 pm
I thought this was so fitting for a godly man that will be missed. I met Zola years ago. His warmth and his commitment has always made me follow this man. Shalom my brother, Until we meet again. I am truly jealous that you get to see him before me. But god has other plans for me.
Tonight, we begin the seventh day of Passover. Our tradition relates that this is a day of great potential, illumination and spiritual portent; indeed, it is at once both the culmination of the Festival of Passover and its inimitable, powerful crescendo. For tonight marks the night, having departed from Egypt one week earlier, when Israel reached the Sea of Reeds. And ultimately, it is the splitting of the sea and Israel’s crossing over to the other side, never to look back, which began her role and destiny in the world.
April 19th, 2006 at 6:09 pm
My prayers and thoughts are with the Levitt family. A warrior for the Lord has gone home. And what a work he left behind! As long as I have been watching his program(over 20 years)he always moved forward being led by the Spirit. No resting on laurels, always working for the Lord and for the benefit of His believers. Let us continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and look forward to seeing him in the New Jerusalem.
April 19th, 2006 at 6:13 pm
This Sunday, a group of us from our Messianic congragation will be leaving for Israel.And when we stand on the Temple Mount, my husband, my friends,along with me, will turn and look at the Mount of Olives, and in our hearts, thank Yeshua for blessing us with teachers like Zola. Blessings upon Zolas’ family, who are left behind for now.
April 19th, 2006 at 6:20 pm
You are in the Greatest place now brother Zola.
Hoping to see you real soon.

April 19th, 2006 at 6:20 pm
I thank the Father for the life of Zola. His light shown brightly on this earth and his work and legacy will continue. He was on the frontlines defending God, His Messiah and Israel. Now this day he is with our great Messiah in Paradise. May God comfort and bless the Levitt family.
“ But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. ”- 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

April 19th, 2006 at 6:47 pm
Shalom to the Levitt family and staff! Two of my older sisters were privileged to go on one of Zola’s tours. I had hoped to do so myself but it was not in the plans. My sympathy to you all. I am among the many viewers who adored Zola. A great believer and most engaging teacher has left us and we will miss him even as we know he is with Yeshua. My prayers to you. And my love.

Baruch Haba B’Shem Adonai
You are home now O faithful one of the L-rd; We will miss your cheerful grace, but look forward to seeing you later in Our Father’s home.
Send Heaven’s angels to comfort those who miss him already, and help the ministry staff with this transition.
Amen
…and because of your faithful servant’s daily reminder, I will ever remember
Tehillim 122 …to Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem
Sha’alu Shalom Yerushalayim

I couldn’t say much in my previous message, my tears were getting in the way. I know Zola wouldn’t come back here for anything but what a tremendous loss this is for us still here. I hope and pray the Rapture is soon. Shalom.
April 19th, 2006 at 7:14 pm
Thank you Zola for giving me the truth about about Israel, and our Jewish roots. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to go on a tour to Israel with you, but now I will definitely go. I’ll miss you, and my best to your family. You were truly the Lord’s messenger “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Phil.1:21
Shalom Zola
April 19th, 2006 at 7:20 pm
My mind can’t put into words what my heart wants to say.
G-D knows how I feel in my heart.
Zola will be missed, but he did leave a legacy.
Zola’s voice may be silent, but The Message isn’t.
April 19th, 2006 at 7:26 pm
The Psalmist says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints” (Psalm 116:15). Zola’s life was precious and now is death is in the sight of the Lord. Zola is now with his Messiah that he loved and faithfully proclaimed.
I am so glad that we had Zola speak about Israel on December 6, 2005 at our conference in Dallas. It was one of the last times he spoke publically and it was about the subject he loved to talk about. He was such a blessing to all who heard him and we will miss him. I am glad that Ken Berg was there to video Zola’s talk so that the ministry has a copy of it.
We will lift up Sandra and the rest of the family in prayer as they will miss Zola in the days ahead. Who knows, we all may be with our Lord and Zola in a short while if the Lord choses to return soon.
Shalom Zola.
April 19th, 2006 at 7:31 pm
Zola was on my heart so strongly last night…
I was up until 3am writing him. I pray
the angels relayed my message. Oh, Zola,
Dear Zola….that sweet, dear man. So loved,
so wise, so forthright. The kind legends are
made of; and how I’ll miss his laugh. It alone
brought comfort to many when words couldn’t.
Zola, you will *forever* be imprinted
on the hearts and lives of many. While I *miss*
you so very very much, I am thankful that your
joy in the Lord couldn’t be greater than in
these moments of your reunion. I pray that the
Lord uplifts his family, friends and staff.
We so NEEDED Zola’s guidance and inspiration.
I can only believe the Lord would not be calling
people like Zola home in the numbers He has been,
if the end of this war (on earth) was not nearing
its completion. When the commanding officers are
relieved of post, the soldiers have been given
their final orders.
With Love, Respect and Sincere Gratitude,
Annette
April 19th, 2006 at 7:33 pm
Zola’s family and staff:
God bless you for your support of Zola and his wonderful ministry over the years. My family and I are pouring out our prayers to God on your behalf. Zola will definitely be missed, but we might be seeing him again sooner than we think.
In Yeshua,
Kenneth
April 19th, 2006 at 7:33 pm
For me and my sisters Matilde and Haydee this is a sad day. We learned to love Zola through the years as we watch his programs. We will miss him very much. We love Israel and it’s people. Zola was so special for us. We pray that His ministry will go on. Our prayes for Sandra and all the family. Shalom from Puerto Rico
April 19th, 2006 at 7:40 pm
Zola has been my teacher for 25 years and I will greatly miss him. As a child, I was raised to be against the Jews (blacks, Irish, and on and on and on) but when I became a Christian, The Lord placed His Love in my heart. The Lord taught me so much through Zola and I thank them both for that. Thank you Zola, his family, and the staff at ZLM.
April 19th, 2006 at 7:51 pm
Dear Levitt Family, I just ache. It is a loss. I can only praise God that I had the priviledge of learning about Our Lord from Zola. This message and ministry is eternal. So,I look forward to finally meeting him and his family in heaven.Soon. Comfort and Peace…Comfort and Peace—Shalom
April 19th, 2006 at 7:53 pm
Alice and I praise our Lord that we were fortunate enough to have met Zola and Sandra before Zola fell ill. We look forward to playing many rounds of golf with Zola in heaven. Thank you so much for your insight Zola, we certainly learned to love you.
April 19th, 2006 at 7:53 pm
My condolances to Zola’s family and staff. I followed his ministry for many years and learned so much from this great man of God. I’m so glad his ministry will continue. What a legacy he left.
April 19th, 2006 at 7:55 pm
(((BIG HUGS))) and blessings to the family and everyone else who loved him. He will be missed until we join him once again.
What a blessing he was. How sad to think he’s no longer climbing the ruins of ancient Israel, but how great to know he’s with his Messiah, dancing down those streets of gold! Praise God for Zola, and for God’s unspeakable gift, Yeshua ha Mashiach!
April 19th, 2006 at 8:02 pm
We rejoice with sadness….
April 19th, 2006 at 8:07 pm
“Jesus Wept”– is one of the shortest verses in The Bible, but it tells us that Our Lord knew the sadness of His friends death, even when He knew He would raise him up again. I feel that sadness now but I also know that Zola is with Jesus and the joy he is feeling now has no words to describe it. I will miss you so much dear Zola because you were such a wonderful teacher and I learned so much from you. I pray for The Levitt Family to let The Lord comfort them and be strong until we are all called home. I feel that will be very soon now. Zola, you have fought a good fight, you have finished your course—and you have kept the faith! (to the very end)
April 19th, 2006 at 8:12 pm
My prayers are with the family.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:16 pm
The tears rolled down my face as though I were a close family member just hearing of a sudden loss. We have both been too ill these 3 weeks to keep track. For some reason today you came to my mind and I was looking forward to hearing your next broadcast! Well, as many have said, possibly that next ‘broadcast’ will be heard by us all in person when we meet you in the air with Jesus. Surely, He comes quickly! God, bless Zola’s family with peace and fullness of your Spirit. I sure would like to hear your commentary about this trip.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:16 pm
I had only recently heard of Zola’s ministry, oddly enough, through rapture and prophesy-related websites, which I enjoy going to on a daily basis.
\I watched a couple of his video clips, including the one discussing his condition and the one where he talks to the born-again terrorist (name escapes me at the moment).
His straight forward, no-nonsense look at how Israel prospers and survives in the midst of it’s enemies was wonderful.
I’ve always found almost comical, the ridiculous abandon these Palestinians blow themselves up and vehicles and still can’t get rid of Israel! And now we have that crazy Iranian president “Yaba-daba-doo” (whatever his name is) making all sorts of threats and murmerings.
Will they never learn? You fight Israel.. you fight against God! And, sorry, but you ain’t gonna win that kinda altercation.
While I am saddened by Zola’s passing, I knew it was coming. But the “knowing” and “happening” are opposet ends of the spectrum. All we can do is know that Zola’s ministry will continue and His work will go on.
And, hopefully, it won’t be too much longer before all that I read in those rapture/prophesy sites actually comes to pass.
Til we meet again, bro. Zola… till we meet again!
April 19th, 2006 at 8:17 pm
Zola, you will be missed but you have taught/blessed/encouraged thousands. My husband and I look forward to meeting you in Heaven. We particularly enjoyed traveling to Isreal via satellite, the only way we can afford it this side of heaven. Walking the Holy Land is a dream of mine – that was next best thing. Praise to our Abba Father for hastening Zola’s suffering. Can’t you just imagine Yeshua smiling, Zola smiling his big smile back, their embracing and Zola hears “Well done, though good and faithful servant…” Sandra, you will be in our prayers that God peace will remain ever present and comforting.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:18 pm
Praise God for Zola!!! I thank You Father for this wonderful teacher. I ask for peace and comfort for Zola’s family. In Our Blessed Savior’s name Thank You Jesus for our brother Zola. Although it its painful to lose a great teacher, I have peace in knowing that he is now with Jesus. The world has lost a teacher, brother and friend, but Heaven rejoices as a son has gone home. Our prayers are with zola’s family and the ministry. Praise be to The Lord God for His Blessing of the time we had to learn from Zola.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:18 pm
This may sound selfish, but I am sad for myself. The world will be a much colder place without Zola. Zola, you will be missed.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:25 pm
As much as I am praising G-d for calling Zola home, I am also deeply saddened; for his family, be they of his literal blood, those he has worked with day in and day out, and for those of us who share with Zola the blood of Christ. A true and great warrior, and lover of Yeshua, you will be missed immeasurably Zola. May you rest eternally in perfection, and rejoice in His presence forever. Blessings to all who have loved you, and all praise to G-d. Shalom, Zola.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:27 pm
Dead?
Oh no, dear ones,
He is not dead but alive!
Alive and in the very presence of His God.
We would not wish him back
To inhabit again that body of pain,
But rather we would long the more
For that day when we, too, shall be
Absent from the body –
Present with the Lord.
What joy is his now,
To walk, not by faith but by sight,
To see, not as through a darkened glass,
But face to face!
Oh, glorious reward for such a faithful servant.
(bf)
Oh how we will miss those weekly messages from this
dear servant. We will continue to follow his admonition
to PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
May God continue to richly bless the ministry of Zola Levitt.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:31 pm
Just heard of Zola’s homegoing. While we are saddened to see him go, we will catch up with him shortly. We have had him in our living room every week since 1986, he was the first teacher to show us our jewish roots, & one of the few who boldly tell the truth about the Bible & Israel.We are happy & rejoice about his promotion,as he called it,as he entered into the presense of Yeshua, & we are sure he heard “well done thou good & faithful servant”. We pray for peace & comfort to Sandra & family. We will continue to pray for & support the ministry
April 19th, 2006 at 8:33 pm
I’M at a
loss BUT, we know ZOLA is in a glorious place and now,[FACE TO FACE]
ZOLA heard these words today;SHALOM!FOREVER CHILD,WELCOME now
SHA’ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM. THANK you ZOLA. we shall pray
for you SANDRA; I sing {O LORD MY GOD, HOW GREAT THOU ART}
April 19th, 2006 at 8:36 pm
God bless Brother Zola. He will surely be missed. But it is comforting to know that he is with our Lord and Savior now. Thank you for all your hard work over the years Zola. God bless.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:38 pm
BROTHER ZOLA TRULY WAS A TOOL THE LORD JESUS USED TO THE FULLEST!!!! MAY THE LORD COMFORT ZOLA’S FAMILY!!!!AND WE MUST CONTINUE THE LORD’S WORK THAT HE ENTRUSTED BROTHER ZOLA WITH!!!!AND WE ONE DAY WILL MEET UP WITH BROTHER ZOLA WHILE IN THE COMPANY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!
April 19th, 2006 at 8:39 pm
I had planned to check the website at the time of the news on Zola’s passing and am glad that I did not as it would have been too difficult to continue at work. So precious are our Jewish brother’s and sister’s in Christ, I’am saddened and yet so happy for Zola that his pain is over he has seen our most Precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and our G-d is alway’s in control. I can’t wait to meet Zola for the first time in the most perfect place our Heavenly Father’s home, our home soon. My prayer’s and thought’s will be for the Zola Levitt Family, Ministry and Friends all who Loved him dearly.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:43 pm
Sandra, another unknown but grateful person the ministry touched sends prayers for you and the family. I as many, will miss Zola’s candor and great teaching, and was always so blessed by the programs. Thank You Lord, for Your giving us Zola, he will be so missed for; as long as he was here in service to You, he gave us such insights into Your Word, land and people. Always there was the prayer, and Your call for all to come to You, and now he is with You. Heaven’s the brighter and I know he is in great wonder at You and of all the promises fulfilled this day.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:43 pm
Just read the news. I am very sad. Mr. Levitt’s program was the first and only one I’ve seen that brought the Jewish roots of the faith back to the viewer. “Zola Levitt Presents” was both informative and educational. This may be an insensitive question to ask, but will “Zola Levitt Presents” continue? I would really hate to see it go off the air, though Mr. Levitt can never be replaced.
Lord Jesus, I commend the soul of Mr. Zola Levitt into Your hands. He has done a great job of his task of spreading the love of Your chosen people, and Your acceptance of them, as well as their continuing role in Your plan. Amen.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:46 pm
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4.
The Navy has special pennant signal, traditionally reserved for use by the Admiral or someone in high command to salute a ship and crew for some outstanding act. The two flags are “Bravo” and “Zulu”, and when flown together they mean “Well Done”.
Zola, Bravo-Zulu, you have fought the good fight.
Thank you.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:47 pm
Magnified and sanctified be His great name in the world which He created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom during your lifetime and during the lifetime of all the house of Israel, speedily, yes soon, and say, amen.
Let His great name be blessed for ever and for all eternity.
Blessed, praised and glorified, exalted, extolled and honored, magnified and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He; though He is high above all the blessings and hymns, praises and songs which are uttered in the world; and say, amen.
May the prayers and supplications of all Israel be accepted by their Father who is in heaven; and say, amen.
May there be great peace from heaven and life for us and for all Israel; and say, amen.
He who makes peace in the heavenly realms, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, amen.
Ose shalom bimrumav hu ya’ase shalom aleinu v’al kol yisrael v’imru amen.

Though we were never privileged to meet Zola in person, we know we will meet him on the other side, one day. His ministry has blessed our family for many years. While we praise God for Zola’s promotion, we were saddened to hear of his passing. We will continue to uphold his family and friends in our prayers, that they might be comforted.
April 19th, 2006 at 8:49 pm
I pray for the repose of his soul
April 19th, 2006 at 8:52 pm
We will miss you Zola….Our thoughts and prayers are with your family….
April 19th, 2006 at 8:57 pm
I’ve read a poem about the dash that goes between someone’s birth date–and the date of their death. That little dash stands for an entire life. What a grand dash stands for Zola’s life. We are so blessed to have known of him; but how much he’s missed!
April 19th, 2006 at 9:11 pm
I just feel so sad even though I know he is better off.I will miss him.God Bless him and his family.
April 19th, 2006 at 9:12 pm
What a terrible time for us to lose Zola, at this hour when Israel’s enemies are gathering against her. Even so, we know that our Lord’s will is perfect and Zola is in His presence this day. Brother Zola will be greatly missed. May the Lord bring comfort to the Levitt family and, indeed, the body of Christ.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!”
April 19th, 2006 at 9:20 pm
I am sorry for those of us who must go on without Zola but I am so happy for him that he is seeing his Messiah’s face right now. His ministry has been so important for me in the last year that I have been aware of it.
I always hoped to go to Jerusalem with Zola, now we will just both be going with Yeshua.
Blessings to all of you and especially to his wife.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
April 19th, 2006 at 9:22 pm
I have been following the updates on Zola’s health since the middle of March. I would look forward to the reports that were good. There were times I almost hesitated to check because of the news I did’nt want to hear. (Like today.) I have listened to Zola’s teachings for many, many years and especially enjoyed it when he would bring the understanding of the Jewish traditions into the Christian realm. I as a believer wanted to know how we as Christians fit in to God’s Holy plan. Zola always made that easy to understand. I rejoice that he has entered into the Rest of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He truly was a servant of the Lord and a man after God’s own heart and wanted to be sure we all new his heart’s desire to bring the Love and understanding God the Father had for us. To first the Jew and then the Gentile. I praise God for your life on this earth Zola and all you did accomplish. I will pray for Sandra and the rest of your family and ministry staff that they will carry on the work that you did’nt finish. I will also Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. And too, my prayer’s are with the family and ministry staff, that they will be comforted.
April 19th, 2006 at 10:16 pm
I have been praying for Zola, his family and ministry. I will continue to pray for family and ministry. I am sad that we will go on without our brother in Christ yet I rejoice that Zola is at rest in Christ and no longer suffers. I praise God for his example in life and how he lived it all the way to the end, or rather to the begining of his eternity with Jesus. Thank you Zola for all you were to all of us…all the insight and help you offered us. I will never forget you and cannot wait until I get to glory and get to stand with you in praise of our God. You will be sorely missed. Thanks for helping arm this soldier for the fight!
April 19th, 2006 at 10:16 pm
To Sandra, Zola’s family and staff,
God Bless You and strenghten you. I am stunned of the news but I know that Zola is safe now in the hands of our Lord! He has been an inspiration for so many. Zola’s teachings will still continue to guide us and educate us in the years to come.
Yours in Christ,
Jeff H.
April 19th, 2006 at 10:18 pm
Our prayers are that this ministry will remain strong. We will miss Zola. This ministry has meant a lot to us! Thank you Zola for your teaching, your patience, your steadfastness. Thank you to all of the people associated with this wonderful ministry! PRAISE BE TO GOD GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE! May God continue to bless this ministry and may the ministry and family feel God’s love and comfort!
April 19th, 2006 at 10:19 pm
My deepest condolances to the Levitt family, and all those who have watched his programs over the years. I’m very saddened by this. I wonder if Beau & Zola have met up, yet?
Congratulations to Zola Levitt, for his promotion into glory!
In Yeshua/Jesus,
Charles
April 19th, 2006 at 10:19 pm
My heart aches for Zola’s family. I now pray for the ministry to continue and for Zola’s family to be comforted and strengthened. I know Zola would want us to continue praying for the peace of Jerusalem and witnessing to others. It is so hard to believe Zola has gone on to be with the Lord so soon. I am thankful I found Zola’s ministry. I knew Zola was special the first time I viewed his program. God bless all those who will work and give to carry on this ministry for Zola. Though we call it Zola’s ministry, we must all remember it is the Lord’s and he will guide those he has in place to continue this work till he returns to bring us all home!
April 19th, 2006 at 10:27 pm
I want to say my heart goes out to Zola”s family and friends, he will be missed.I been receiving his newsletters and enjoy receiving them.His wit and teaching style is unique in every sense.Well done Zola, good and faithfull servant. You have run the race. Now rest from your labors. My regards again go out to his family and friends. Shalom Bashem Y”shua. Amen
April 19th, 2006 at 10:36 pm
I Praise God that Zola’s passing was peaceful as that was an answer to prayer. But oh, how he will be missed. May the peace and comfort of God surround Zola’s family and those involved in the ministry.
Shalom

April 19th, 2006 at 10:51 pm
Thank you Zola……..enjoy eternity with the lord, face to face and in his presence……..
April 19th, 2006 at 10:54 pm
We are so thankful to the Lord Yeshua that dear Zola was a witness for the Messiah’s salvation and stayed at his post until the Lord called him Home! Praise God for the life and the witness of this man! We will see him again one day and until then, we will continue to witness of the salvation through Messiah Yeshua and will encourage others to do likewise. We are praying for dear Sandra, the rest of the family and the staff. May the Lord Yeshua comfort you each one. We thank the Lord again and again for this faithful witness. Zola did finish well!
In Yeshua’s love. Shalom shalom in Him.
April 19th, 2006 at 10:58 pm
Dear Sandra,Mark,Will,Aaron,staff,&friends in Christ; we always grieve to lose the presence of one we love, and, I think, even moreso one who has been a bright light, rightly dividing the Word of God, in a very dark world. Zola certainly didn’t hide his light under a bushel!(Matthew 5:14-16)- Though left in this world, we still have ‘green pastures’ to lie in and ‘still waters’ to be lead by as it says in Psalm 23. These ‘green pastures’ and ‘still waters’ can be had in abundance as we read and meditate on Gods Word. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
April 19th, 2006 at 11:02 pm
The last few years since we discovered Zola, he played a big part in helping us to understand and love Israel and also to understand how we gentiles are grafted in and are blessed through the Jews. We are saddened by his departure. We will miss him even though the Lord in His wisdom deemed it best to take Zola home with Him. “In His presence there is fullness of joy.” God bless the Levitt family.
April 19th, 2006 at 11:03 pm
Thank You Zola for all the work you, your family, and staff have done all these years….Thank You Zola for getting me back on the right track…Thank You Zola….
April 19th, 2006 at 11:09 pm
Dear Sandra, Mark, Aaron, Will, and all those who were blessed to personally know Zola,
I wish you comfort and peace in the knowledge that Zola is in the presence of our Savior, and he certainly ran the race well, even to the finish! I can almost hear him telling us that heaven is as beautiful as the Word describes, and “that’s all there is to say about that!” Those special little sayings and mannerisms that Zola seemed to own are so much a part of our memories of him. We especially appreciated the last program aired, which was part 1 of his testimony, and are looking forward to seeing part 2. He had a way of making you feel you were the only one in the room with him, and he was talking just to you.
We hurt. But we have to hold tighter to all of Zola that we’re so blessed to have received. His dedication, spiritual gifts, talents, resourcefulness, wisdom, discernment, LOVE,…where do I stop? Let me just say that Zola utilized all his resources!
We thank God for Zola and will pray for you, and continue to stand behind Zola Levitt Ministries!
Maranatha!
Charles and Carol Zajicek
April 19th, 2006 at 11:13 pm
I am thankful for the many years that Zola taught the truth on TV. It’s going to be hard not being able to watch him each week, but I am so glad that he is not suffering in his earthly body anymore. He is in the presence of Jesus and it can’t get better than that! See you on the other side, Zola!
April 19th, 2006 at 11:14 pm
I echo the sentiments of Ed & Tama. Well done Zola. I’m sure we will see him again at the Rapture. I ask that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will give much strength and encouragement to not only Zola’s immediate family (Sandra, Mark, etc.) but also to his extended family (all of us, his friends, supporters and viewers). Zola has indeed “fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith”. What a great example he has set for us! Let’s follow his lead.
April 19th, 2006 at 11:17 pm
Zola’s Family & Friends,
Know that you’re in our thoughts and prayers.
Perry Stone teaches on one of his recent dvds why God is removing many of the righteous greats from the earth at present, just as he did before the great flood.
Though saddened, we’re rejoicing that Zola is with Y’shua. Hopefully Zola will remember to ask Y’shua to get those transfer orders in for the rest of us!
Jus think: We’re all going to be together again soon! Until then, remember that God gave us something called memories inthat we might have roses in the wintertime.
In Y’shua,
Kim & Family
April 19th, 2006 at 11:19 pm
God be with your friends and loved ones… we miss you already but rejoice in knowing that He has held you in his arms and greeted you with his love..
Until we meet again…
April 19th, 2006 at 11:23 pm
I’ll miss you, Zola, until I see you again. Until then, your family and ministry will continue to be a blessing to all of us stranded here. We’re all praying for the peace of Jerusalem, my friend.
David
April 20th, 2006 at 12:28 am
To the family and loved ones of Zola Levitt, may the peace of Yeshua be upon you this Holy hour as our friend and brother in Christ rest at the feet of the Lord Almighty. We lost five family members since September and I know the sorrow of their losses. Rejoice in the memories of Zola, rejoice for he has been ultimately healed, rejoice for he is in eternal glory never to see the pain and strife and misery of the world again, but most of all, rejoice to see him again some day. You all will be in my prayers. May God bless you as He has truly blessed Zola.
April 19th, 2006 at 11:31 pm
I praise God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ for the precious gifts so many of us have received through Zola,our brother in the Lord. My prayers are joined with all the saints here and others elsewhere as we are all reaching out in love and expressing our shared pain over Zola’s departure from us but joy knowing his glorious reunion with the Lord – now face to face must be wonderful beyond words we can express. My heart and prayers are with all of the family.
April 19th, 2006 at 11:33 pm
::hand waving:: Good-bye Zola…till we meet again in that wonderful place. Baruch haba b’shem Adonai!
April 19th, 2006 at 11:57 pm
Zola gave us many lessons in faith while he was living and even as he was dying. A Teacher until the end and an example for all. He belongs to Jesus Christ.
April 20th, 2006 at 12:07 am
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO MOURN, FOR THEY SHALL BE COMFORTED!
GOD HOLD UP THOSE THAT LOVED HIM. GIVE THEM YOUR STRENGHT AND WASH THEM WITH YOUR PRECIOUS LOVE. IN JESUS’ NAME WE PRAY.
WE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM AND FOR THE SALVATION OF ALL SOULS. AMEN

May God’s Great hand cover and comfort …
A Great ‘Warrior’ for ISRAEL, has been called home …
Thank you Lord for this man …
Thank you Lord for this family, ministry and staff …
This is a sad day …
a day of reflection …
a day of true loss …
may we all be in prayer,
shalom

Read: 2 Corinthians 5:1-9
“ When I am gone “
We are…. willing rather to be absent
from the body, and to be present with
the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8
The pale specter of death with his cruel
sickle of sorrow is no respecter of persons.
He reaps the aged-the “bearded grain” – as
well as the tender flowers of youth. If you
have recently suffered the heartache of be
reavment, be assure that your saved loved
one is now alive and enjoying the bliss of
heaven’s realities.
Barbara C. Ryberg has written a beautiful
and consoling poem in which she envisions a
saint in glory speaking words of comfort to
grieving relatives here on earth. She writes;
“When I am gone, remember I’m with Jesus; /
Then do not mourn because I’ve passed away. /
Life holds so many griefs and disappoinments, /
And will you cry because I did not stay ?
/ ‘Tis only for a spell we must be parted; /
/ Not so many years on earth to us are given. /
/ And when my Savior tells me you are coming,
/ I’ll go with Him and welcome you to heaven.
/ Grieve not because the eyes that looked
upon you / Shall never see your face on earth
again ; / Rejoice, because they look upon the
Savior / Who gave His life to ranson sinfulmen.
/ Weep not because I walk no longer with you;
/ Remember, I’m walking streets of gold. /
Weep for yourselves that you awhile must
tarry / Before the blessed Lord / you may behold.”
You can take comfort in the fact that your
Christian loved one is experiencing the
unending delights found in the presence of
Jesus. Therefore, do not selfishly wish she
were back on earth. She is so much better off
-absent from the body and present with the
Lord. – H.G.B.
O how blessed is the promise
When our spirit is free:
To be absent from the body
means to live, O Lord, with Thee!
THOT: When God wipes our tears, sorrow gives way to eternal song.
Thank you Zola for your beautiful life and your boldness, we love you and will miss you! we’ll see you again some day. Dear Sandra, Mark, family and staff, be strong and take confort in the Lord, he is enjoying his beautiful Savior, we love you and we are praying for you. Shalom. Gerald and Dora

Good-bye Zola…Thank you very much for all your work. Prayers to you and yours.
Hope to see you again, in time.
April 20th, 2006 at 1:56 am
Dear Zola. Your work helped my faith and has given comfort when my Mom and Dad went home to the Lord. Just as I dont ask for autographs from people because if they are saved,then we have an eternity with the Lord together.For those not yet,thanks to people like you, we are better equiped to help others to join us all. Amen.
April 20th, 2006 at 2:01 am
I write this note with tears, I never met face to face, but I watched and read his work for years. I can imagine his joy as he awoke from his brief sleep to see the masters face! We are really going to miss him. I pray that the Lord will raise up someone to pick up his sword and continue the fight, and to show love to Israel. It is our prayer that the Lord will continue to take care of his family. Thank you all for your work, maybe only in heaven you will see the reward of your faithfullness. Good-by my brother in Christ… for now, we will meet you in the morning. Shalom

May JEHOVAH’s peace and comfort be upon the family, friends and ministry members at this time. Zola has fought the good fight and finished his course. He has kept the faith. He now wears that crown of righteousness. By JEHVOAH’s blessings and guidance I pray that ZOLA LEVITT ministry continue to florish and lead many JEWS AND Gentiles to JESUS CHRIST. With King David and his harp combined with Zola and his flutes. What musical joy there is in the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
April 20th, 2006 at 2:09 am
Sandra, Mark, family of Levitt, Staff:
Thank You. I will pray for everybody. I checked on Zola’s condition every day. I will miss Zola, I loved him.
April 20th, 2006 at 3:16 am
Thank you Zola for your ministry and witness during your life on earth. Sad to hear you have left us for a time, but so glad knowing you are now in the presence of our Lord. “Congratulations!” We will see you soon. We grieve with all who have been praying and rejoice knowing Yeshua has everything in control.
Our family continues to pray Comfort,Peace and Strength for Sandra, your family members and your staff.
Shalom!

Dear Family My heart is with you and I thank you so much for being a part of this wonderful human beings life. Yes you have given much but know that the sacrifice was so well worth it. Zola meant so much to me. Upon checking the website yesterday I thought I had at least 6 more weeks of his existence here on earth as that was the last report that I had read regarding his condition. But yet to my sorrow I woke today to learn that my beloved Zola had went on to glory. Again I thank you so much and my prayers will be with you forever. Yeshua was there with open arms embracing Zola and Zola went to him with outstretched arms WOW what a glorious day Praise GOD. May GOD see you through his loss and keep you in his tender mercy forever. SHALOM
April 20th, 2006 at 2:41 am
Brother Zola, We love you and pray for your family & friends around the world. Hail to the Lord.
April 20th, 2006 at 2:55 am
Thank you, Zola, for your love of Christ and for allowing Him to use you for His mighty calling. You are proof of how God can use us all to reach others for Him. I pray for the peace of your family, and that your teaching will continue to bless the world long after your passing. I never met you (I wanted to accompany you to Israel one day…) but I will never forget you. Again, thanks, my friend in the Lord.
April 20th, 2006 at 3:09 am
After Jesus, I hope Zola is next in line to greet me when it’s my time.
May his life be an example for us all– work the harvest as we can, until we are called away. Zola’s last message still haunts me in its urgency.
There are souls out there to save!
April 20th, 2006 at 3:17 am
Hi,
Zola, the soldier that stayed at his post though wounded, secure in the knowledge that he was serving his King well, is such a model for me personally that I cannot appreciate any man more than I do this man that has surely now been rewarded the garlands of acknowledgement that our Lord Jesus will have at His own feet in love from the work of this humble man.
Zola retained honor among people and before His Lord. None can do better. Now seperated from us for awhile his example stays with us all, as a mark telling us what faith is. He believed in salvation by grace alone and worked the works as the result.
The seperation hurts yet the shared faith in our Lord salvages the day. Thank you Zola!
May God be kind to Sandra to carry her through this ordeal well. May all rally to bring support to the ministry at ZLM as they also have opportunity to now carry on at their posts, after the model established by this humble soldier that has done so much under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
My own pleasure at this very very sad time is in the knowing how he finished — at his post, exhorting the saints and, evangelizing the unsaved. One cannot finish better. How great a model he is for us, for his humility in spirit to the end has surely retained him honor in the sight of God, and before all of us mere men and women too. No saint can do better.

Zola brought so much to our lives through his internet ministry. We will miss him. God bless his family with peace, and healing in this sad journey. We know that we will see Zola again, with the assurance of our Saviour, Yeshua. Our hearts are broken, but His promise of a better life after this one remain forever.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
April 20th, 2006 at 3:46 am
Shalom Zola taught to us who watched every week, and courage and strength and truth in all things- with humor he taught us also. For giving me an intense love of Israel and the Jewish people. a chance to experience my future home with him and Sandra also at a time of loss in my life and show me their special brand of humor and Christian love in person, I am most humbly blessed by God. I thank God for giving me the priviledge of knowing Zola and Sandra and meeting some of the family and staff and sharing joy in some tiny way that I know we will be recreating for eternity. Well done, God, for sending Yeshua to save a man like Zola to minister to us and a savior like Jesus who will comfort Sandra, Mark, Aaron, Will and all of those who miss Zola and the special man of God that he was until we meet again in the Rapture. Well done! Sandra, I wish I were there now to give you a huge hug,cry,and laugh about some of Zola’s jokes.Can’t wait to hear them again.From one who understands your loss and Zola’s gain………….Dawn Austin
April 20th, 2006 at 4:00 am
Our grief for the present loss of Zola in our lives is deep and personal. His teachings and his music enriched our spiritual lives so much over the years and will continue to do so.
Our hearts and our prayers reach out to those nearest and dearest him, our dear brother in Christ.
April 20th, 2006 at 4:52 am
Zola! I’ll meet you some day!
April 20th, 2006 at 5:10 am
How my heart breaks and rejoices at the same time. Almost Five years ago I had the honor and privledge of traveling with Zola to Israel. I can still remember his wonderful sense of humor and the knowledge that he had. My family and I have enjoyed his teachings and his love for the Lord for over 20 years. We can rest in the peace that he is no longer in pain. I will miss him greatly and pray for his family. God bless you all, his family and his wonderful staff.

No condemnation now I dread;

alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousnes divine, bold I approach th’ eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ my own.
Zola has seen Him face to face.

April 20th, 2006 at 5:31 am
i’m really gonna miss him. i love Zola so much!
He was the one that taught me more about Israel
and it’s connection to christanity than any other minister.
Christ’s soon return must be at hand.
Because one of God’s chosen is no longer with us.
All my best to his lovely family.
Be strong and be thankful
Zola was a part of our lives!
He is now a very bright gem in God’s crown.
Bye Zola, We’ll See You Soon!

April 20th, 2006 at 5:45 am
I have only known of Zola for a short while but his funny yet accurate potrayal of the Gospel and the humour of Jewish life always made me happy to be Jewish and a beliver in Yeshua. May he be remembered untill the coming of the L-rd restores him to us in the Kingdom
April 20th, 2006 at 5:51 am
I have just read about Zola’s going to be with the Lord. I thank our Lord for the life he lived. I am far away on the Inslands of Turks & Caicos; but I watched his programs very often on TBN. When I was in Dallas, I tried to meet Zola without success. But his programs gave me the opportunity to learn more about Israel and motivated me to write my new book: “God’s End-Time Prophetic Agenda”. I pray that the will keep Zola’s family and his Ministry until we meet him in heaven.
April 20th, 2006 at 6:09 am
Everlasting peace to you, Zola. Now you truly walk with Adonai. I very much look forward to meeting you some day soon.
April 20th, 2006 at 6:14 am
I didn’t watch his show until recently. His wisdom was beyond his years. Now, I can just imagine him worshipping at the feet of Jesus for eternity. What a sweet blessing that will be for all of us one day. He pain and suffering is over and Heaven became his healing. May God richly bless and comfort his family and fill that void that is left with Zola’s passing.
April 20th, 2006 at 6:26 am
Well Zola fought the good fight of faith…….He was a blessing to watch and a blessing to the whole body of christ…I am sure there are throwing zola a welcome home party in heavan right now!!!
April 20th, 2006 at 6:37 am
I learned so much about the Jewish beliefs under the teaching of Zola. I enjoyed his books, tv programs, tapes, and especially enjoyed his conferences. I will miss him greatly, but rejoice that he is with his beloved Yeshua. What a testimony his life has been to others! We will miss him greatly.
April 20th, 2006 at 6:38 am
My heart broke when I checked the website this morning. I started to cry and then I could almost hear Zola say “Don’t cry for me, I have it all! Cry for yourself, you are still stuck on this earth. We will see you soon my friend, May your rewards be great!!!….Paula
April 20th, 2006 at 6:54 am
Zola will wants us all to continue in praying for the Peace of Jerusalem.
I will miss him so much. From childhood to now the verse in Gods word that led me to him was,
John 3:16
Shalom dearest brother
April 20th, 2006 at 6:56 am
I just had to write once more to say “Thank You”
to Betty and Ernie (for the above msg).
Your words truly gave comfort to my grieving heart and
helped me regain perspective by focusing MORE on the promises
of our precious Saviour, Yeshua.

I watched ZL Presents last night and it was totally awesome. His entry into the ministry and how he progressed through the years. I logged on this morning and saw the news. I know that at this very moment, Zola is worshipping the Lord and meeting all the great ones who went before him. I bet he has shaken hands with Paul, Peter, Abraham, and all the others! The joy he is feeling must be too deep and overwhelming to find words to express just how it must be. I pray for his wife and family; how blessed they must be to know Zola is in Heaven…waiting on them! He seemed a part of our family; we will miss him terribly.
April 20th, 2006 at 7:28 am
I love My Zola. i will miss him very much. He is one of my heros. He was instrumental in my love for the Jews. His programs will always be dear to me. I will have his music as a keepsake. God bless you all. I’m very happy for him. Lucy
April 20th, 2006 at 7:30 am
How wonderful the Lord has taken you home in peace. We will miss you, but will never forget your teachings. How easy you made it to understand. I pray your ministry continues until we all get called home. I bet you are already busy talking to the prophets of old. We will miss you, but your joy has got to be the greatest. Per your wish we will continue to support your ministry so the word gets to as many as possible. Yours, In Christ.
April 20th, 2006 at 7:33 am
What more can be said other than:
THANK YOU. We are so grateful for your loyaly to our Father’s work.
You will be sorely missed!
April 20th, 2006 at 7:38 am
Dear family & friends,
It is hard to believe our beloved Zola is no longer with us. He was a voice of truth in this pitiful land…he used his “gifts” to the max to glorify the Lord…an inheritance is waiting for him to be sure!
Let us not sorrow as those who have no hope (our hope is in the Lord!) Death is swallowed up in victory…oh death where is thy sting???
We will miss you terribly but God is in control!
April 20th, 2006 at 7:40 am
I can only imagine!
April 20th, 2006 at 7:40 am
I was saddened to hear the news of Zola passing. But he has passed into Glory! While we mourn here on earth, ” Ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.”( 1 Thess 5). Our hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I will continue to pray for peace and the comfort for his family.
yours-in-Christ,
Cyndi Kirkland
April 20th, 2006 at 7:53 am
Dear Sandra, May the thought of someday rejoicing with Zola bring you comfort. May the love of those who remain with you give you peace. Zola made such a difference in our lives; while we mourn his loss, we celebrate his gifts. We pray for you comfort, peace, strength and courage. We also pray for the rest of the family and the staff. We will remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for the minintry. “The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.” Psalm 29:11 Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I have just heard of Zola’s final trip to glory!! I am so saddened in losing him, but heaven is so much richer now, with his presence. I know he would not agree with that, because he was such a humble servant of the Lord, but I know the Lord has many, many rewards He is presenting to his faithful servant, even now. I have followed his ministry for the past 30+ years, and will miss him tremendously. My thoughts and prayers are with his wonderful family. I really feel his homegoing is a sign that the Rapture will be very soon. We will soon join him and all our other loved ones who have died in the Lord. Praises be to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has given us victory over death and grave!! To Him be ALl the Glory!! Judy McMahan
April 20th, 2006 at 8:41 am
the first day i was saved, in January 1980, i drove to Zola’s office on NW highway and Inwood road. The building had a sign with a cross, a fish and a star of David. I had just gotten saved in my cousin’s deli and i knew i was to drive there. A young woman named Naomi ushered me in. Zola was not in, i got to visit with Tom McCall. He shared with me Zech 12:10. Tom was the first man that i shared my testimony with, right in Zola’s offices. I thank God for this ministry, you were there for me when i needed you, on my spiritual birth day.
I can’t wait to see Zola in heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be. I salute you Zola, thank You for being such a faithful workman for Yeshua.
Shalom with ahava,

We have all been blessed by our GOD to know his servant Zola. I am sanddened by his passing and I am rejoicing in his victory. “Yet to ALL who recieved him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of GOD” John 1:12
April 20th, 2006 at 8:47 am
I just learned of Zola’s passing and the tears are falling. He blessed me and my family so much and I really respected him. I cannot say that of very many people, but he was very special.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and I pray God gives them strength and peace. We all know Zola is in a much better place and I know that he is talking to someone right at this minute. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. Hopefully, we will all go up soon and can visit him in person. Until then, we will all miss him.
April 20th, 2006 at 8:49 am
Praise God for Zola’s ministry and his life! The resources made available through the ministry have been priceless in their ability to open eyes and instruct those who otherwise would not have had that opportunity to hear the gospel message through “Jewish eyes”. Zola was a blessing to me personally, as I grew in my love for Israel and the Jewish people. His candor, sparkling eyes, and humor added that special touch to his teachings, tv programs, videos, etc. He will be sorely missed in this world. He ran the race as if to win the prize – which he did! The blessing of Y’shua to the family and all who are involved in this incredible ministry journey.
April 20th, 2006 at 8:59 am
I am saddened about the loss of our brother, Zola. I am praising the Lord he stands with Jesus in glory!! I look forward to that day, soon, where Jesus returns for His bride; the church of believers. Here will be Zola, along with other loved saints meeting us in the sky! Praise Jesus!
I am praying for Sandra and Zola’s entire family. May the Lord continue this precious ministry. In Jesus’ name I ask that many more Jews would come to Jesus as Messiah, Savior, God Almighty! amen.
See you soon, Zola.
April 20th, 2006 at 8:59 am
I have followed Zola’s ministry since the early 1970′s. When I became a believer, I knew some people from DTS that got me introduced to his teachings. I use to attend his Friday night sevice at the Biblical Arts Center. Through Zola’s teachings, I have been able to help and love many Jewish people that I come in contact with. And, I am constantly praying for the peace for Jerusalem, as Zola first taught me. I know he is having a great time in heaven, and cannot wait to see him again.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:00 am
Some have quoted from Isaiah 57 where the translation says some “godly die before their
time”–if God dictates our time, why would we die “before our time”? I am so heartbroken. So many have died recently that we so desperately need. I just don’t
understand. I am grateful that Zola’s suffering has ended, but sad for all of us
who relied on his teaching and encouragement.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:02 am
We’re happy that Zola is now with the Lord, and are praying for the next few weeks and months, as his family, friends and staff “Walk through the valley of the shadow of death…” knowing that God’s rod (His Word) and staff (Divine Peace and Strength) will comfort them.
Our Prayers are with you all and with each other as we mourn the temporary separation from Zola, and celebrate his life. 0;-)
April 20th, 2006 at 9:23 am
God Bless Zola’s family and my prayers are with them at this time. I also am praying for the staff at his ministry. I LOVED watching Zola on his weekly TV. His programs were very inspiring to me. I will miss him greatly. donna
April 20th, 2006 at 9:25 am
Sandra and Family,
I am so grieved and yet rejoicing for having been blessed by “knowing” Zola and his family. I’m saddened at OUR loss but joyous for Zola’s GAIN. I’m a faithful partner to the ministry and will continue to be faithful to Zola and his family. Our arms are extended across these United States to you and your blessed family. We rejoice and weep with you. God bless you all and may His face shine upon you. Zola has heard the words we all long to hear from the Lord; “Well done good and faithful servant.”
April 20th, 2006 at 9:37 am
Zola has been my “mentor” for many years. His many books and television programs have transformed my spiritual being. I am a Christian, who believes firmly in his Jewish “roots” for the full understanding of GOD’s word. “Thank You” Zola, for your time and talent, of your ministry. In the name of “Yeshua”, my your ministry continue thru your family and staff.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:39 am
My heart is very sad over the loss of Zola. As I read through the tributes one can feel the heartache and the tears. When I checked yesterday a.m. he had not left this embodiment yet, but I was wondering if it were not imminent. This has been a rough year for my family and me. Exactly one month ago, March 19, we lost my beloved daddy. I loved him dearly and my husband and I were great fans of Zola and his ministry as well. Now both men are safe in the arms of Yeshua. Both men loved Yeshua deeply. Zola has left behind a wonderful legacy. We will miss him, but by the grace of G-d, may his family and we his pupils carry on the good fight for the Lord and also for Israel. Our love to Sandra, Mark, Aaron, Will, and family as well as to the Zola Levitt Ministry staff. May you feel Yeshua’s love and comfort in an extra special way as your hearts eventually heal. Our love to you.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:45 am
Dear Sandra and Family,
When I heard of Zola’s death yesterday, I spent most of the day reflecting on his life and how he affected my life, and the life of my husband, and countless others. God had used Zola in a mighty way and he is rewarded now for his devotion to the special calling the LORD had on his life, and work for teaching us about the Promised Land. We introduced Zola to my son and his wife and they love him also. I have saved my Levitt Letters and they are priceless. Zola has taught me and my husband so much about the Messiah and Israel. What a blessing he has been to so many believers. Now he is with his Messiah and has met all the prophets and patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses, Peter and Paul, and all his friends who are there… and all have greeted him!! Now Zola sees it all! What joy Zola has! He is in glory! We rejoice in this, knowing Zola is seeing everything from a heavenly perspective. Our hearts ache for you, Sandra and your family because his absence from your lives will be so sorely missed. Sandra, how blessed you were to have shared his life! We will lift you and your loved ones and the entire ministry staff in prayer. But you will be reunited with him for eternity, as all believers will be with their loved ones. I had always wished someday to be able to go on a tour with Zola to the Holy Land. Now I look forward to passing on to my eternal life, and when I finally meet Zola in heaven, I will ask him to take me on that heavenly tour. What a guide Zola will be as he takes me to see and meet everyone and I marvel at the sights, sounds, and undescribable beauty of our heavenly home! Yesterday, I played my favorite CD, MESSIAH and was so moved by FATHER, I’M COMING HOME. I had tears reflecting on Zola now at home… These were tears of emotion and rejoicing at the same time. Thank you Almighty Father for blessing our lives with one such as Zola Levitt.
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou thas? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. (John Chapter 11: 23-27)
April 20th, 2006 at 9:46 am
From The Watchman Institute for Biblical Research:
We have supported Zola with prayers and financial support in the past. We shall miss this Man of God. God’s timing is always perfect. We shall all soon be with in heaven. This old world is fading fast. There is only one hope for all this world. That is Yeshua HaMassiach, Jesus Christ.
Zola was the voice of Israel and the Jewish nation for many in this nation. I always read his newsletters. His ministry will miss him. No one can fill his shoes. His ministry will go on, but sadly, without him… I know those laboring on behalf of the Lord and in Zola’s ministry will do their best. Our prayers are with you all.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:47 am
“Our knowledge, our prophecy, are only glimpses of the truth; and these glimpses will be swept away when the time of fulfillment comes…. At present, we are looking at a confused reflection in a mirror; then, we shall see face to face”
(1 Corinthians 13:10,12).
“We are sons of God even now, and what we shall be hereafter, has not been made known as yet. But we know that when He comes we shall be like Him; we shall see Him, then, as He is” (I John 3:2).
“But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkling of His blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel”
(Hebrews 12:22-24).
“Give them eternal joy in the land of the living, and let us join them one day in the happiness of the saints.”
May his soul rest in peace.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:47 am
We have watched and supported Zola for over 20 years. Yesterday my wife heard from her girlfriend of Zola’s home going. We are obvioulsy sad and glad at the same time. For Zola “to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD”. But for us it seems it would have been better if he could have remained a little longer. Israel has lost a good friend at a critical moment in it’s history. However, this too is part of God’s soverign plan. We have used Zola’s Passover video/DVD annually in our small group to celebrate Passover/Easter. Many lives have been touched by Zola’s teaching. I wonder…my wife and I hoped to someday tour the Holy Land with Zola. Is it too early to sign up to be part of Zola’s first Holy Land tour in the Kingdom? Our best wishes and God’s peace to Zola’s family and friends.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:56 am
Zola will be missed. Prayers for family. He has made a tremendous impact upon us and we are indebted to him forever.

I know that our beloved Zola was saying with St. Paul, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2 Tim. 4:7-8)
No one loved His appearing more than dear Zola. What a blessing his life and teaching have been to me and to so many.
May all who loved him, and especially you closest to him–his family and staff–have the peace and comfort of our Lord Jesus Christ in this sad and difficult time of parting.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:03 am
I just wanted to share that Zola and his ministry truly changed my life through his teaching, and was a blessing to my whole family as we watched his programs together each week. Zola lived life to the fullest and was a tremendous blessing to all those who watched his program, read his books, listened to his music, took his correspondence courses or traveled to Israel, Jordan or Greece with him. I have been blessed by all of those things except the traveling. I was hoping to one day take that tour to Israel with him, but now it seems I will be taking that trip without him. May God comfort you, his family and close friends as only He can do, and bless you with His great peace.

OF ALL THE THINGS I COULD EXPOUND HERE ABOUT MY DEAR BROTHER ZOLA, NONE SEEM TO EMBRACE THE SCOPE OF MY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW. I, AS MANY OTHERS REJOICE GREATLY OVER HIS PLACE IN THE ARMS OF GOD PRESENTLY, AND WHEN WE GET TO MEET HIM IN ETERNITY, BUT THE LORD HAS USED HIM IN SUCH A SPECIAL, UNIQUE, AND NECESSARY WAY HERE, THAT HIS PASSING WILL LEAVE A HUGE VOID IN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD, ESPECIALLY AMONG THE FEW LEFT WHO CARE TO PREACH A BIBLICALLY ACCURATE PROPHETIC MESSAGE PERTAINING TO ISRAEL AND THE WORLD. I PRAY FERVENTLY FOR THE FAMILY, AND FOR THOSE BLESSED BY ZOLA’S MINISTRY OVER THE LAST MANY YEARS. I WATCHED THE FIRST BRAOADCAST LAST EVE. ABOUT ZOLA’S PERSONAL TESTIMONY, NOT AWARE AT THE TIME THAT HE HAD GONE HOME WITH THE LORD. I FOUND OUT ON THE WEBSITE FIRST THING THIS MORNING AT WORK. I CAN BARELY CONCENTRATE TODAY ON MY JOB. I’M PLANNING TO GO HOME THIS EVENING, PRAY, AND WATCH MANY OF MY RECORDED SHOWS OF HIS THAT HAVE BLESSED MY LIFE FOR SO LONG. THIS HURTS MY HEART GREATLY. SO LONG FOR NOW, BROTHER ZOLA, THANKS FOR YOUR FAITHFUL MINISTRY THAT IS SO NEAR TO GOD’S HEART, AND MINE. MAY THE WORK CONTINUE IN YOUR STEAD, AS BEST IT CAN.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:33 am
I feel bad that Zola is gone. We really needed him. It seems men like him are a vanishing breed. I hope God can replace him soon.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:34 am
Zola, We love you brother and we will see you soon. We are sad because we are the ones left behind. You will be greatly missed. We will see you at the gate of heaven. Save a place at the table for us. With tears we say a short good bye.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:35 am
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Thank you, Father, for your servant Zola.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:39 am
I’m so sorry that Zola is no longer with us but I’m glad to know he is with Jesus . I feel like I have lost an old friend. I am praying for Zola’s wife, children and everyone in his organization that God will bless , guide, comfort and support them now and in the future. I also pray the ministry will go on till the Lord returns and we and others in the future will be able to see Zola and learn from his teachings and his kind and gentle example. God bless you all and everyone who has made this website possible
April 20th, 2006 at 10:43 am
I was sad in the spirit yesterday and now I know why. Zola made me realize that it was okay to be Jewish and a believer! May we all be as zealous for the faith. Praise G-d for Zola’s work and prayers for the family.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:46 am
Yes, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant…” Many have said it. This was also the first thing that came to my mind upon hearing the news. We have learned so much from Zola’s ministry over the years. His family is in our prayers and also the staff at Zola Levitt Ministries. May they have the Peace that passes all understanding during this time. With much love and admiration, The Davis family – Bill, Andrea, NiCole, Mallory, Heather, Patricia, Mary, Tony and Roger
April 20th, 2006 at 10:47 am
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I AM GOING TO MISS ZOLA AND ALL HE HAS DONE FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUE JEWISH FAITH AND THE FACTS THAT WE NEED TO BE LOVING (WHICH I DO) GODS’CHOSEN PEOPLE. SEND MY BEST TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO ARE NEAR AT THIS TIME. I KNOW HE IS HOME WITH THE LORD AND REJOICING. I REJOYCE WITH HIM BUT GRIEVE WITH THE FAMILY. GOD GRANT YOU COMFORT AND PEACE.
LOVE CHERYL
April 20th, 2006 at 10:52 am
Zola, the Lord’s Messenger…you are now HOME! I was deeply saddened to read the latest update. Because of the Levitt Letter and the TV programs, I have acquired an interest in Israel and the Jewish people, who are the “Apple of God’s Eye” Surely God is saying to you, “Well done good and faithful servant” Shalom, Shalom and Amen Zola.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:56 am
I truely grieve with the family of Zola. Through his ministry and teachings, there are so many things that I’ve come to understand about the bible, Jews, as well as Muslims and former Muslims from the TV show which I can only get through the internet.I’m sure that by now, Zola has gotten to meet my parents in heaven,as my own father, like Zola, never met a stranger.While we all miss him, I hope the ministry goes on. I KNOW Zola would want it to go on. Perhaps there could be some guest hosts now and then, men such as Walid Shoebat and Zachariah Anani, whom were converted from Islam to Christianity. I hope Zola’s son and Zola’s wife will be able and willing to carry on this important TV ministry,as well as continue to conduct tours to Israel.To the family of Zola, know this: you are in my prayers that the Lord may comfort you and keep you, and continue to bless the ministry.
Sincerely,
Alex
April 20th, 2006 at 10:59 am
We miss you already Friend… Our prayers are with the remaining Levitt Family. We will continue the work in Blowing the Shofar with you. We love you all in Dallas and beyond and will continue to support and hold up this vital work that Our Dear Friend had begun so many years ago. Indeed this was true that… Happy was this man, who’s work was his play. Our hearts are broken here… yet we rejoice for him there in his magnificent homegoing with his Saviour… Jesus his Lord!
Our support and prayers are with you today ~

Thank you Lord for Zola Levitt .
April 20th, 2006 at 11:06 am
Dear Zola,
I came to know of your ministry last year on the net. You have blessed me tremendously, and are an inspiration, even towards the end. Thank you so much, brother Zola. I shall miss you much. You’ve taught me to love Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.I am glad you are now forever in the Lord’s presence, never to be apart from Him anymore. May your ministries continue to bless millions around the world.
Sandra, my love for you and your family. May God grant you His peace, joy, comfort and hope.
April 20th, 2006 at 11:08 am
My heart is breaking, I did not get to check the website yesterday and just found out today.
Our loss is heaven’s gain, but oh, how I will miss his sweet countenance on TV and his sharing of Israel and the Jewish plight with us, and keeping us informed with what was going on with Israel.
He has gone to a great reward, and heaven will only be sweeter for us when we get there to be with Jesus, our family, and Zola, and all the saints that have gone on before us.
We cry for our loss, but shout “Hallelujah for his great Home going”, and never to suffer any more in this body.
May God be with you dear family as you share this great loss, but our Lord is always Faithful and will bring you through this with victory. My prayers and love are with each of you and all his faithful staff.
April 20th, 2006 at 11:10 am
One other thing I just wanted to mention, my own mother went home to join my father to be with the Lord. My mother passed away on April 19, 1997, and I buried my father on Father’s Day, 1995.I believe we should ALL remember that death IS the SAME THING AS BEING RAPTURED!You leave the flesh body both ways and are instantly transported to God, whom gave us our souls and spirits.As it seems that SO MANY great teachers of God’s are leaving us lately, it makes you wonder if it ISN’T God’s way of rapturing you, or at least taking you from the coming tribulation.I KNOW that at the second of Zola’s passing, he lifted up his eyes to the Lord and heard Him say ” WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!”
April 20th, 2006 at 11:14 am
Dear Levitt family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of Zola’s passing. However, our hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, makes it a very awesome homecoming indeed. To stand in the presence of our Lord and Savior is the our blessed hope. Zola has had his Graduation Day. Praise the Lord!! I will continue to pray for your family. May God continue to richly bless your family, ministry, and the Body of Christ, Jews and Christians, that benefit from Zola’s work. God bless you. Cindy
April 20th, 2006 at 11:20 am
We are not supposed to mourn when a Believer goes home, but we who are left are going to miss Zola and the messages he gave us. Praise God for the Message and the Messenger.
April 20th, 2006 at 11:20 am
Zola – I am looking forward to meeting you someday and enjoying the New Jerusalem with you. God bless you for all your wonderful teaching on Israel, sharing your gift of music with us and so much more. You will be greatly missed dear brother.
April 20th, 2006 at 11:22 am
I grieve for Zola’s family. On the other hand, he’s in heaven with Yeshua. I continue to strive working on informing Christians around me about Yeshua + reaching out to the Jewish people!
April 20th, 2006 at 11:24 am
He is in a better place and we will see him soon. It was his book, “The Bible Jesus Read Is Exciting” that started me on my quest to know the Lord.
April 20th, 2006 at 11:28 am
I just learned that Zola went “HOME”. I had checked yesterday, and I have been praying my heart out for him…and now my heart is broken because he is already so missed by all of us here on earth…yet to have our “promotion”. I know I am not in the ‘praise-mode’….I am so sad and so full of tears…in disbelief. But, I know G-d makes NO MISTAKES….but, my ‘human’ mind sees such a loss at a critical time for a teacher and leader and like Zola….I know he is not sad…I know he is dancing with his L-rd and praising G-d…in time my heart will be better, and I will continue to support Zola’s ministry and pray for his dear wife and children…my prayers are with you now as much as they were for Y’Shau/Jesus to heal Zola. May all of us still here continue in Zola’s footsteps that were to lead all to the heart of the ONE,TRUE, Messiah, Jesus……let us all continue to “press in” even closer to Y’Shua/Jesus to know and DO His will, for ‘all’ His glory alone. Thank You, Jesus, for Zola…..let him know how much he is missed, and soon we will all be praising You together around Your throne. PRAISE You, L-rd G-d, for Jesus….praise You for your faithful servant, Zola. Bless us all as we miss him so much, but seek to ‘go on’ and do Your will, until we see You come for us all someday soon. My love to the family and the staff; and all the close friends Zola had. Shalom to all, and Y’Shua’s love overflowing, Chrissie Joy Kelly
April 20th, 2006 at 11:33 am
oh–now another of our dearest treasures is now awaiting us in Heaven–our precious Zola. We can just imagine his sweet laughter ringing out with Yeshua’s and those already there. What a huge celebration is going on.
And even knowing that we shall all be with them soon, George’s and my hearts ache for his family’s hearts with the ‘big hole’ in them, doing without him for awhile. We’ll keep praying for extra grace and comfort for you!
Soon we will ‘catch up’ with him…and hug his dear neck again…
The way things are in this old world–even more unsaved-folks will be tuning in also, tosee where he went!(if they couldn’t already figure it out)…
I keep thinking of the spot he pointed out at the model of the city of Jerusalem in Yeshua’s time…and how he showed us which palace and area he would like the Lord to hold for him :O)
–hearing his dear chuckle still in my mind, I rejoice while feeling pain in my heart…
He always has given great glory to God and his ministry, books, and films, still will continue to til we hear the shofar and fly to join Yeshua in the air…and Zola sure blessed us all…we sure can’t wait to see him again…soon is still too long.
Know that our hearts and prayers are with you!
Much love in Christ Jesus/Yeshua our Lord!

To Zola’s dear family & staff members at ZLM
I am moved by all the wonderful messages posted since Zola’s passing yesterday. What a joyous feeling to know that I was not the only person to be moved by Zola’s programs, books and music. Zola has left a truly magnificent legacy. My family is saddened at the loss of this friend we never met, but welcomed into our home each week through the tv programs, mailings, etc. We are closer to the Lord today because of Zola’s passion for the Word of God. Thank you Zola, and Zola’s family, for being so willing to share a great man of God with us!
Many blessings,
Patti Sexton
April 20th, 2006 at 12:00 pm
I shall yet stand on the streets of Yerusalayim with my good friend Zola and my Dad who left this planet 18 years ago today.
May the Shofar sound yet in our lifetime to bring us all together at the Father’s house.
Yet a little while and the family will gather ’round the table for that great Passover feast there!
Shalom,
Bob
April 20th, 2006 at 2:54 pm
Another warrior has gone home. I praise the Lord for Zola as he was a blessing to me for many, many years. I learned much as a babe in Yeshua from Zola. Zola mentored me from afar via his lovely and informative TV programs, tapes, books, Levitt Letter and music. I rejoice knowing that I will see him at home in Heaven one fine day.
I extend my heart felt sypmathy to Sandra and the family. My condolences to the staff as well. You will all be in my prayers. Thank you so very much for sharing this lovely and beloved man with us.
As Zola would exhort me to do, I shall continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Shalom, shalom.

Zola’s Family, I celebrate his life and his ministry! His loves for Jesus and Israel changed my life.I look forward to saying thank you to him when we meet in heaven. You have made my life better, Thank You Zola!!!May God bless and keep your precious family in His arms. Many Thanks, Serena Lansburg of Fullerton, California
April 20th, 2006 at 2:56 pm
Praise to be Hashem and his son Yeshua for his mighty grace, for letting be taught and led by Zola. I know that i will miss his teaching and his zeal for the lost. What a wonderful God Zola has went to spend eternity with.
Thank you jesus for your grace and for Zola.
April 20th, 2006 at 3:01 pm
I’ll see you later my friend. I’ll see you later in The House of Our Lord.
Amen!
April 20th, 2006 at 3:03 pm
I will miss Zola very much and he is definitely a wonderful example of how we as believers need to be. God is very much blessed up above and I look forward to meeting him up there in the heavens too
April 20th, 2006 at 3:10 pm
I don’t have words to explain how much I will miss Zola. I felt like he was part of my family. I LOVE him so much. I’m so glad he had a peaceful passing. It’s shocking that it’s happened so quickly. God used Zola tremendously in my life, and I’m forever grateful for Zola’s faithfulness to the Lord’s work. I will continue to support his ministry, and I pray God will bless it 100 times more than ever. Zola opened this gentile’s blinded eyes to the Jewish roots of my faith, and helped give me a Jewish heart, which has changed my life forever. I will always love Israel and the Jewish people, and most of that is due to the seeds planted by Zola. We just celebrated Passover, and at the end when we say “next year in Jeruslem” I always want to sing Zola’s version that is so beautiful. I will continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, as Zola always reminded us to, and I will do so in the beautiful Hebrew words that he taught us: “Sha-alu, sha-lom, Ye-ru-sha-la-im”.
April 20th, 2006 at 3:15 pm
Zola will be missed by all who love Israel,truth,and the Lord Jesus (Yeshua)…yes the hebrew lessons in the levitt letter are taking hold. I started watching Zola as a new believer at a young age and he gave me affirmation about this love in my heart for a people and country that are dear to God’s heart. My prayers are with his family. I missed Zola at the Holy Land Experience, but im sure we will meet in the real Jerusalem one day in the future. God bless you Zola.
April 20th, 2006 at 3:21 pm
G-d has blessed Zola with a wonderful life of giving. Zola’s ministry is a testimony of that. I am happy that now Zola is with the Lord. Though I would of been happier had he been healed and made whole. That would have been the greater testimony.
I will keep Zola’s family in my prayers and ask the Lord to give them the peace and grace to go through this mournful time..
“Jehovah Rapha, I am the Lord your healer.”
Shalom and Love,
Layla
April 20th, 2006 at 3:35 pm
Praise our Great G-d Jehovah and His Son Yeshua our Messiah, for His grace and His peace. Zola’s ministry and life blessed my Father, who went to be with Yeshua in 2001 and also impacted my life as well. I have been so blessed. I pray for the family, that our Great G-d of Comfort will comfort you and give you peace.
April 20th, 2006 at 3:54 pm
For the past two years we have been blessed by Zola and his television program. Shortly after my Christian dad passed away at age 79, I started watching Christian broadcasting more often for comfort. Zola Levitt Presents was one of our favorites. We are going to miss having Zola be part of our T.V. family. He was such a comfort and joy to listen to. He was such a blessing to the world, and we know his ministry will still bless others in the future. May God give your family the comfort and the peace that passes all understanding.

“The LORD bless you and keep you,
The LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious
toward you,
The LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace.”
Thank you Zola for your honesty, integrity and never watering down the message of Yeshua.
We can’t wait to take Zola’s tour of Paradise and the New Jerusalem.
Sandra, you are an inspiration to us all. Zola Levitt Ministries has been blessed with the best staff on the planet.
April 20th, 2006 at 4:06 pm
I read all the other replies through my tears of joy and sadness. I am so very thankful for Zola and that he didn’t suffer long. I know he is with the Lord and I will continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for his ministry and family. Zola was truly special and will never be replaced. I always wanted to see Israel with him, but I can wait until the trip is “free” after the Lord returns. God comfort you, dear Family and especially Sandra.
April 20th, 2006 at 4:17 pm
ZOLA, GOD BLESS YOU! YOUR IN GLORY WITH OUR LORD YESHUA! PRAISE HIS NAME! ME, MY MOM AND GIRLFRIEND MET HIM A FEW YEARS AGO AT AHAVAT. WHAT A WONDERFUL, SWEET MAN OF GOD. I HAVE PICTURES OF HIM, I CARRY WITH ME IN MY BIBLE, THE NIGHT WE MET. YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE RAPTURED, SO DO WE. SEE YA SOON ZOLA, SHALOM AND PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!!!
April 20th, 2006 at 4:17 pm
I just can’t believe that dear Zola is with the Lord already. It’s such a mixture of sadness and joy. Truly, it is our loss and the heaven’s gain. Zola has touched my life in so many ways, and my love for Israel and the Jewish people has grown because of his teachings. I pray that the Lord will comfort Sandra, his children/grandchildren and staff; and that he will give them strength to carry on this most important ministry. Our Lord is coming soon, and what a reunion that will be when we see Yeshua, and all those who have gone before…
April 21st, 2006 at 12:45 am
Truly our loss is heaven’s gain. My husband, children, and I want to extend our condolences to Sandra, Mark, and all of Zola’s family and friends. May the peace of God be your comfort.
April 21st, 2006 at 1:05 am
We can’t begin to express the emptiness we feel at this moment. We have lost a great friend and teacher and for that we mourn. Farewell Zola. May God comfort and bless the Levitt family!
April 21st, 2006 at 1:14 am
Godspeed. Mr. Levitt was truly a face of comfort and love during a very trying time in my life.
April 21st, 2006 at 1:30 am
Tho my heart grieves for our loss, I rejoice for Zola’s gain! Zola was a pioneer in the messanic movement, and I know when Zola and Jesus get together, Heaven will never be the same.
Our lives have been greatly enriched by Zola’s teachings. I can honestly say I would not take a million dollars in exchange for what he taught me.
To Zola’s family: our love and prayers are with you.
To Zola’s staff: his work will continue through you, and I would like to encourage you to continue with the zeal that Zola had.
Shalom.
April 21st, 2006 at 2:56 am
We salute the soldier with great respect and love. Zola, you have ministered to us life and gave us an understanding of our Jewish roots. You have prepared us here on earth and now you are gone for the final preparations in heaven for the wedding of the Lamb. See you soon with our Messiah. Thank you for your devotion to God’s people. We miss here your cheerfulness and smile.
Dear Zola family, we love you, may God sustain you in the loss of Zola here on earth. We know that he is a gain in heaven. Come Lord, Yeshua!
April 21st, 2006 at 3:16 am
My husband and I will miss you Zola. We thank God for your teaching and your ministry. You gave so much to all of us. Our loss is heaven’s gain. We will see you soon in heaven. Our prayers are with Sandra, Mark and our family as they carry on day by day. There is an emptiness since one of our family members is no longer here with us. But he is now in the presence of Jeshua and we will go there. See you soon Zola.
April 21st, 2006 at 5:36 am
My Prayers are with Zola’s Family. God Bless them.
Good-Bye Zola, I will miss you, and Thank You for Everything you have done, your crowns will be many ……..good & faithful servant.
I will continue to Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.

We’ll see you in Heaven….can’t wait to see Jesus.!!!

We have been blessed by God to have shared for all these years, the heart of God through the work of Zola Levitt. The treasure of who Zola is has made us all the more richer. I know that the person of Zola Levitt is with the Lord, but he has left a little bit of himself in all of us, and that will never change. The day will come when this brief seperation from Zola, as with the Lord, will come to an end, than we will all be united in peace, love, and eternal joy, when our enemies will have been put down and the Kingdom of our Lord becomes the only true reality. In that day every tear will be wiped away, and every rememberance of this life. To all you who love Zola, and who’s hearts are heavy, as is mine, God love you all, peace and grace. Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Praise Be Unto God, from Whom all blessings flow! It is with great sadness in some ways to see a warrior such as Zola to travel on to another battlefield, but we cheer him on as the Commander greets him with his next assingment. I have seen man men of God travel down this path, but none like this! I sit here in front of my computer praying to God, “this one Lord is a general.” I hear the Lord say, “this one is my jewell, and now he shines brighter than before.” I am touched of the Lord to speak life where death seems to have won. I am pursuaded to say that abundance is now where others spoke of lack. I am under the direction of the Holy Spirit when the world around this man of God only saw a disease, and a situation, but to those who answered the call, were envisiond to embrace a vision of opportunity to reveal God in and through His children, and make full presentation of love through ministry. Yes, this jewell will be missed Lord, but I am blessed to know that you have shown that it was not Zola’s vision to reach a destiny, but that through God and the life of Zola, a Legacy has been birthed! Thank God for Zola, Thank God vor vision, and thank God for salvation, for I too will get to meet Zola one day past this life here. Shalom, & peace be unto Israel!
April 21st, 2006 at 6:53 am
My friend, my brother…you will be sooo missed.
The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face to shine upon you, the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and grant you peace.
God speed my friend! Until we meet in Glory…shalom.

April 21st, 2006 at 7:39 am
Zola has become like an old friend to me over the years since I discovered his television ministry. I shall miss him, and regret I never met him in this life. Praise to Yeshua, for granting new peace to Zola, and for making him such a strong preacher of the gospel and defender of the children of Israel! May the Lord grant solace to his family and friends.
April 21st, 2006 at 7:42 am
We are so saddened to hear of Zola’s passing. We loved watching the program every week and were praying we could go to Israel on a tour with Zola some day. We may not be able to go with him in this life now, but someday we will all go to Israel together with the Lord.
We never had the pleasure of meeting Zola but we are thankful for his ministry! And we are happy for him that he is now in the presence of our Heavenly Father.
You are in our prayers Sandra, Mark and family.
April 21st, 2006 at 7:48 am
I am saddened and sat here and cried like a baby when I heard of Zola’s passing. I know that he is rejoicing with the Lord of Glory, and I guess I am just a little bit jelous of him.
Truth is, we all long to break the bands of this mortal flesh……….if we are truly born again.
Zola, you showed us how it’s done man ! We love you, and more importantly we love the ONE that makes it all make sense, Yeshua the KING!
April 21st, 2006 at 8:10 am
Precious friends – what great memories we have from our Shalom Shalom Congregation!! Isn’t Yeshua sweet at times like these. Much love to Sandra, Mark, Aaron, Family and Staff. My life has been tremendously enriched by you all and our beloved Zola – Blessings & Shalom
April 21st, 2006 at 8:16 am
I feel blessed ,very blessed to have known about Zola and his ministry.The seed of Zola ministry spirit lives in everyone who heard him. It is up to us now to keep it alive.
Pray for the peace of Israel !
April 21st, 2006 at 8:30 am
I have no words, only tears.
I loved Zola’s testimony so much and came here to find the re-run date and found he’s gone.
Praise to God for all the wonderful years and comfort knowing he’s with you, Lord.
April 21st, 2006 at 8:40 am
Although I never met Zola it is as if I have lost a good friend. And that is what Zola was to all who were exposed to his ministry and teaching. But our sense of loss is a vapor consumed by what his family must be feeling. My prayers are now for Sandra and the family because, glory to God, Zola no longer needs my prayers. His life stands as an encouragement and a testimony to Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 4:7. The Bible teaches us in 2 Corinthians 5:8 quite clearly that Zola is in the presence of our Savior, something that makes us wonder anew what it must be like and long for. The lives of us touched by Zola’s ministry can be a memorial and testimony to him and his ministry of we continue TO PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
Thank You Lord for the short time we had him,

I have been a supporter of Zola’s ministry for several years and I’ve come to love Israel through his newsletter and programs. My dream was to tour Israel with him but I put it off and now I’ll have to wait and tour Heaven with him….and Him! I didn’t know Zola had gone home Wednesday and last night (Thursday) I watched him on TV talking about this first half of his Christian life. Imagine my shock and grief to find out this morning that he is gone!
I have wept tears for my loss because it Zola’s was such a strong voice for true Christianity, and one of the few who dared to tell the truth about Islam. Zola’s gain is our very great loss and I’m glad he will miss the terrible times that I believe are to come. I pray that God will enable the staff to continue the great and necessary work of this ministry.

Psalms 116:15 Precious (important and no light matter) in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints–His loving ones. Precious Zola is in the arms of God. His work for the Lord has deeply touched our family. How he will be missed by us. Dearest Sandra and Mark, we are so sorry for your loss.
April 21st, 2006 at 9:28 am
I just learned of Zola’s going home, and I have such mixed emotions… emotions of sadness to know that he will not be here doing the work for the kingdom that he has done so well, and emotions of rejoicing that he is home with the Lord. What a blessing he was to all of us. Many prayers for his family and the staff who are now taking the reigns of this ministry to keep it going forth for God’s glory!
April 21st, 2006 at 9:30 am
Dear Zola’s family and staff;
Thank you for sharing Zola’s last view moments on earth with all of us,
our prayers are with all of you.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
Love in CHRIST,

High Honors to you, Zola.
April 21st, 2006 at 9:36 am
How I am going to miss Zola. I am grateful to the Lord for the life he gave you as it has changed so many lives through your teaching. You are now resting in the arms of our Savior and I look forward to seeing you soon. May our Lord grant peace and comfort to Sandra, his sons and staff.
April 21st, 2006 at 10:13 am
I WISH I COULD HAVE HUGGED THIS MAN WHO BLESSED ME SO.
AND SANDRA, I WISH THAT I COULD HUG YOU NOW.
SUCH AN IMPACT HE HAS ON SO MANY…
FOR HIS (AND OUR) BELOVED ISRAEL;
FOR HIS (AND OUR) BLESSED SAVIOR.

I’m happy for him – no more pain, and such a beautiful reward.
So many posts before this one said it more eloquently than I ever could.
Thank you Zola, and thank you God for sharing him with us!
April 21st, 2006 at 11:05 am
Both of us are so sad about the death of Zola. We pray for Sandra and family and staff at this time. The world has certainly been diminished with his passing. We had just gotten started with him, and learned to love and pray for Israel. This we plan to continue until Jesus comes for us! We know Zola is in the presence of Jesus . .happy and free from pain and sickness! Henceforth, I expect to see him coming in the clouds of glory . .mounted on a snowy white horse with Jesus and His Saints. We will continue to grow and learn from this ministry!
Love and God Bless to his family,
Mary Lou & Cliff

We have watched, listened to and admired Zola’s ministry for years. His impact will live on in all of us who learned from him. We’ll see him again soon!
April 21st, 2006 at 12:13 pm
Dear Family of Zola
I know your hearts are heavy with grief for his presence as so are we. The wounded soldier is eternally healed. We praise our Jehovah-tsidkenu for the time he loaned Zola to us. Jehovah-rapha heard our petitions for healing and granted our wishes. HE is faithful. Zola is probably leading a huge tremendous Bible Study, we will join him someday.
Love in Him Who Loved Us First,

I will always cherish my parents’ trip with you to Israel. The photos of them being baptised by you in the Jordan River are my favorite pictures in the world. Your brother in Jesus. See you in Jerusalem.
April 21st, 2006 at 12:58 pm
Zola just had his own private “rapture”. To our human way of thinking it makes no sense that God took him already There was so much for him to do and no man spoke the “truth” like Zola did. But the Lord’s ways are not our ways.
We will miss him.

April 21st, 2006 at 1:08 pm
So sad to hear Zola left us, we’ll miss him and his teachings. But so happy in the knowledge he is in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ. We’ll pray for his Family and Ministry and continue to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem as he asked us too.
April 21st, 2006 at 1:24 pm
The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
Merciful men are taken away,
While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from evil.
He shall enter into peace;
May God Bless you and yours during this difficult time. I have enjoyed Zola’s teachings. He was a true man of God. I can only ‘try’ to imagine how wonderful it must be to lay eyes on that glorious city. May we soon meet in Heaven by the grace of God and His soon return.
Love in Christ,
VI

Dear Sandra and Family, You have my deepest sympathy. Zola was a blessing to me. He taught me so much and I never got to see him face to face. I know that someday I will. Let me know if there is anything I can do. May Yeshua ben Elohim bless you and give you peace. Maria
April 21st, 2006 at 2:04 pm
Our prayers to Zola’s family,
We are saddened at the news and at the same time thankful for the promotion of our dear brother in Yeshua. We will be sorry that we will not be with Zola personally in the fall on tour to our “City on a hill”. We are expecting the “rapture” soon and if He tarries we will enjoy the Lord’s blessing with your ministry then. As is our normal we will continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and look forward to our meeting.
May the Lord bless you and remember “As we give Jesus the priority, He grants us the opportunity to serve Him more completely.”

It was about 21 years ago that I first enjoyed Zola’s teaching, and he was a tool to change my life, my thoughts, my study, my teaching. Even though my torch continues to be lit, I will always reflect the glow Zola passed on to me.
God bless his witness.

And this world becomes a little darker … but the world to come brightens as another mirror of the Father’s
grace and mercy begins an eternal reflection. I shall see you and greet you my friend and teacher in the days
to come … Sing His praises for me to the angels until I catch up.
Rest well, my friend.
April 21st, 2006 at 2:25 pm
There has been no ministry that the L-rd has used more to reach me than Zola’s. He is a dear brother and I will miss him alot. I will be happy to see him again. Thank you L-rd for what you have givin us and please let this ministry continue.
April 21st, 2006 at 2:53 pm
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!!! Zola was a mighty warrior for the Lord. Zola’s ministry impacted so many people. I will truly miss watching Zola, his program was a treasure I stumbled upon and made sure I never missed. I know I will have the pleasure of meeting Zola one day.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever — Psalm 23:12

I will never forget the wonderful seminars that he and Tom Macall taught at Dallas Bible College, back in the 80′s. His insight into eschatology helped ground me in my understanding of Israel’s role in the end times. Thank you, Zola.
April 21st, 2006 at 3:13 pm
Zola, You were an incredable teacher and we learned so much for you! I cheered as you met our Father. Our time her on this Earth is such a short time but our life in Heaven is for eternity. Mike and I life were changed and blessed by you. My kids always acted better when you were around they were convenced that you were really Santa! I know that you will dealy be missed by Mike he enjoyed the times that you played golf together. I know the Lord as the most increable golf corse for you to play and what a joy to get close to the pin everytime. Good Bye our dear friend just till we meet you on the other side.

I had just found zola Levitt on tv a few months ago, My husband had just read his book. We had fallen in Love with his ministry. We know Zola is happy today, we will be praying for his family.
May the Lord Bless this Ministry,
Robert & Renee Mullins
April 21st, 2006 at 3:50 pm
Shalom my brother, Shalom. How like G-D that Zola would see his Messiah as Passover was ending. Zola would have enjoyed saying, ‘I passed over on Passover.’ I so enjoyed his sense of humor in things like that. My husband went to his final rest on a Shabot afternoon 4 years ago. One of the things that was said at his memorial was, “how like him to sleep on Shabot afternoon”.
Sandra, I can only tell you from experience, in the middle of the night when you are alone cry to Yeshua and HE WILL hold you in His mighty comforting arms. Lean on Him and He will give you comfort and peace. Remember, “WE GRIEVE NOT AS THOSE WITHOUT HOPE”. YOU WILL SEE YOUR PRECIOUS ZOLA AGAIN, AND NEVER EVER BE PARTED. This is the Blessed Hope that will sustaine you from day to day. Sha.alu Shalom Yerushaliim. Gale Drew

Thank you for introducing us to Israel. We are homesick for it and for the place you are today.
See you soon,

No doubt , there was great rejoicing when Zola arrived HOME!!!!
I pray that God comfort you with wonderful thoughts like this.
April 21st, 2006 at 4:13 pm
Our hearts are sad but we rejoice in knowing our brother Zola has run the race and kept the fight and now he is with YHVH. He has been a great witness and taught many to love and pray for Jerusalem & Israel.
We lift the family and staff up in prayer as you deal with the days ahead. We know Father will comfort you in this time.
Blessings and Shalom,

Someone said Pope John Paul II taught us how to die, I think Zola did too. Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His godly ones. Ps 116:15
April 21st, 2006 at 5:03 pm
I had just started regularly watching Zola’s show after recently going to Israel with my church. I am saddened by our loss, as Zola was a great speaker and believer. I wish his family well during this sad time. I will keep his family and his ministry in my prayers.
To his family: please take care and rejoice that Zola is home, with the Lord and our Savior.

Zola Levitt had a special ministry for all believers in the Lord. He was fearless yet gentle in his approach, and I admired that so much about him. I can still hear him now saying, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” That is so important because when the Lord Jesus comes back, He will land on the Mount of Olives. Thanks to Zola, I remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and he is now at everlasting peace.
April 21st, 2006 at 5:23 pm
There were tears today when I found that Zola was “promoted” to True Paradise. We met you, Sandra, when you and Zola were in Palatka, Florida, and know you will be sustained by His love. We learned so very much from Zola’s weekly programs and the Levitt Letter, and happily were partners in the ministry. We miss you already, Zola, but will be seeing you one of these days when we will break bread together with Yeshua. Praise His Holy Name!
April 21st, 2006 at 5:30 pm
WOW OH GOD !!! WE ARE GOING TO MISS HIM. WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS IT WAS LIKE A PUNCH IN THE GUT …..
ZOLA YOU HELP ME LOVE GOD’S PEOPLE SO MUCH. THANK YOU. DARRELL
April 21st, 2006 at 5:48 pm
What a day to rejoice!! I just heard the news about Zola, and I have no doubt he’s putting this new time in his life to good effect, leading a tour of Heaven if nothing else. Naturally, I’m sad to have lost the earthly man that was Zola Levitt, but I will rejoice that his was a “completed” life… completed by the Messiah Himself, and I thank God for His saving grace open to all, “… to the Jew first and then to the Gentile…” My prayers for strength for the family and the staff of Zola Levitt Ministries. God bless you as only He can !!
April 21st, 2006 at 5:50 pm
I cried tears of joy and sorrow at the hearing of Zola’s passing. Joy to know that Zola is now with the Lord and is experiencing pure joy and peace. Sorrow because he will be sorely missed. He was a berean and great warrior for the Lord.
May the Lord grant peace and comfort to Sandra and the Levitt Family and Staff.
April 21st, 2006 at 6:23 pm
the God of all comfort, shall comfort you now and forever…
April 21st, 2006 at 6:36 pm
Zola will be missed in our home and our prayers are with his loved ones.
This is not the end just the begining for Zola. May God grant his loved
ones the peace at this time….

Can you believe Zola touched the heart of a gentile woman in sacramento, ca. and has taught me so much about my heritage in Christ. I wouln’t know what I know or have a heart for Israel if it weren’t for this ministry. I will miss him and only have peace over his death because of the hope we share in our LORD.
April 21st, 2006 at 7:17 pm
we were so saddened by zola,s death.
At the same time joyful that he is with the Lord whom he loved so much.We will miss him very much. Your family will be in our prayers. Love and prayers,Ron and Linda Feagley
April 21st, 2006 at 7:24 pm
Dear family of Zola,
I have watched Zola on TV and on the internet, he was given such a special gift from God to minister to us and helped us to understand the Lord in a richer deeper way. He was a loyal servant of Christ. Like Noah (Gen 6:9)….Zola walked with God. I appreciated Zola’s zeal and his enthusiasm while sharing the Gospel. I am heartbroken we will not hear his teaching anymore but I am so happy for him that he is where we all want to be …in the loving presence of Christ.
In Christ

Although tears filled my heart and my eyes, I would just say: Zola, thank you for giving to the Lord. I am a life that is changed forever because of the Truth you spoke and your life you gave. I know you are just gone home, a little bit faster than some of us, were, afterall we all are heading to. I miss you very much. An icon of the truth had just retired. You started it, we’ll finish it!
April 21st, 2006 at 7:54 pm
The world has lost a modern day apostle Paul. As a Christian I learned a lot about our Jewish roots from Zola. He proclaimed the truth concerning events in the world today and Isreal’s place in God’s plan for the ages. He has finished his race, may we be as faithful as he was. Until He comes again, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
April 21st, 2006 at 7:55 pm
dearest zola…wow!!! absolutely perfect…My lttle buddy…shalom…gary
April 21st, 2006 at 8:01 pm
I’m saddened to learn that we have lost such a wonderful teacher,but I also rejoice in the fact that he is with Our Father.My heart goes out to you Zola’s family and friends.He was a wonderful man.You will be in my prayers.
Shalom.
April 21st, 2006 at 8:04 pm
May the peace that surpasses all understanding comfort Zola’s friends and family during this time. Although to be gone from this earth is to be with the Lord, it still leaves such an emptiness for those who are left behind. I can’t tell you how much his ministry meant to me, as a Jewish woman. Zola’s work helped so many to keep a firm grip on their faith and so many more to come to faith in Yeshua Messiah. I can only imagine the number of stars in Zola’s crown.
The world is a lesser place and heaven, greater, for Zola having been here.
Shabbat Shalom,
Dixie
April 21st, 2006 at 8:23 pm
Sad news to hear that Zola has left us. He has enriched and encouraged my walk in the Lord much, and for many years, I will miss him. He was truly a courageous soldier in the Lord, and fought where others in his position lacked the guts. May God grant mercy and grace, comfort and strength to Zola’s loved ones and all who are deeply affected by his leaving. May God grant strength and prosperity and guidance to the ministry, and may He endow those who pick up Zola’s staff with excellent seeing and hearing, understanding and wisdom. May God bless them and the ministry to bear much fruit to the Lord. Zola now has his crown and that which he sought, from our faithful and excellent God. God has brought another one of His through the fire and faithfully brought him home. God is faithful, and wonderful beyond compare, blessed be the Lord forever! Exalted be His holy name! Until we meet in the Kingdom Zola, thanks.
April 21st, 2006 at 9:24 pm
I miss him already,,but he is in the best place..I lost my husband a few years ago to cancer. The comforter is with me until I reach the beautiful place where Zola and all the rest of Adonai’s faithful servants are. Yeshua is my husband and I beleive we will see him soon!
Thank you Zola

April 21st, 2006 at 9:24 pm
*sigh* What to say… I’m heartbroken. I know in my spirit that Zola is with The Lord, and because of this, there’s no need for saddness. But my tears come from MY loss. The loss for everyone left behind to miss him.
I HATE death. I always pray that The Lord will come and make all things new again. Death is final, and it feels so unfair. How do we cope with the emptiness of not having our loved ones around? Why Zola? Why cancer? I don’t understand. I will never understand things like this…until I go to be with The Lord and He makes it all clear.
The only hope we can rest on…the only comfort, is that Zola is with Our Lord. Praise GOD for every soul He saves. How dark and hopeless it is for everyone who dies without Our God.
At least we KNOW we will see Zola again, that The Lord will raise his body incorruptable…young forever, and never to see sickness or death again!
I personally believe that the time of all of the body of Christs reuniting is soon at hand. I’m sure Zola would tell us all, “Be Ready, the Bridroom cometh!”
Love to Zolas wife and ALL of his family,
~Tamara

It’s so hard to express how I feel at this point. I can imagine that most in Zola’s TV audience feel much like myself. As I watch his programs now, it’s as if he is still here on earth. I want it to be that way, but know the Lord had a very good reason to call him home at this time. Many have viewed Zola’s wonderful programs and loved the way he presented his views and his love for Israel. But, what they missed was in meeting him. I was one of the blessed ones to be a part of one of his tours to Israel and was taken by his friendliness to each passenger. He was so willing to share the very smallest thought and event in his life with us. I’ll always remember one particular incident that happened when we were in a beautiful hotel by the Sea of Galilee. Three of us who had become friends in the first few days had gathered to talk and as we stood in the lobby over came Zola and began talking to us. Then, he said he was hungry and asked if we were hungry. He told us there was his favorite place to eat St.Peter fish near by and then proceeded to tell us he would treat us to dinner. Well, we were a little shocked but took him up on his invitation. We ate and talked and had a real good time. I could not have ever imagined being able to sit to a meal with him and ask some of the many questions I had always wanted to ask him. Zola was just as he was on TV. A wonderful man who loved the Lord with all his heart and wasn’t too important to share his time with three admirers and fellow travelers and even paying for their food. There are many in the ministry that feel they are beyond that…not Zola. I’m just sad that everyone out there didn’t have the chance to get to meet Zola. But, one of these days we will all sit around the same table and talk together and be a family, with the Lord at the head of the table. What a wonderful day that will be!
May God give a special peace to Zola’s family. Our hearts are broken for you in your loss.
Love in our Messiah, Y’shua,

Dear Family of Zola Levitt. I am almost at a loss for words to describe the heart felt pain, when news that Zola had gone home to be with the LORD. Like so many who have expressed their love for Zola and have followed his ministry for years, I felt a void, until I realized how much this ministry has touched thousands upon thousands of lives bringing those lost sheep into the fold and the kingdom of God. Zola’s love for Israel and his Jewish brothers and sisters was always heavy on his heart and because of his life devotion to bringing them “home”, we will be grateful that his message to them was reflected in the way he led his life, truly a faithful follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. His online tv series, I truly lived for. Because of this wonderful man, I have been to Mt of Olives, I have stood at the river’s edge of Jordan and I have prayed at the Western Wall and too have set my sights on Zion, the eternal city that will call us home too on that glorious day. Thanks be to the LORD God for having given us this saintly man to remember and pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. God bless this family and may they carry the torch to eternal victory. Shalom~
April 21st, 2006 at 9:58 pm
My heart is heavy with the loss of Zola, but I am grateful for having found his ministry, and thankful for all the insight that I gained from him. I will sorely miss him. May Gods’ love and healing spirit enfold all the Levitt family and staff.
Thanks again for having given so much Zola.
In his love,
Gail
April 21st, 2006 at 10:25 pm
I will be forever grateful for Zola’s ministry. I found the t.v. program many years ago when I was surfing the channels and I love it. The program help me understand my deep love for Israel, and I have learned so much. Please continue the program!
I pray for the peace of Jerulsale, and I pray for all who mourn.
In the name of our RISEN Lord!

Zola fought the good fight and made the journey to our Lord in faith. An example for all of us! I am praying for his friends and family in this most difficult time. Thank-you Zola for all you have done and all that will continue because of you. You’ll be missed deeply….but we will see you again one day! Peace.
April 22nd, 2006 at 8:30 am
I praise God for Zola’s testimony. I have always thought of him as a spiritual (earthly) father. My husband and I always wanted to go to Isreal with him on a tour. I guess we will have to wait for the real tour in Heaven! Pleaase remember His family in your prayers.
April 22nd, 2006 at 11:33 am
Dear Zola,
We are forever thankful for your ministry. We will tell you in person, one day, of the impact your life and ministry have had on us. We miss you so very much, but we rejoice that you are with our Lord in paradise!
All our love to Zola’s family and all the people at Zola Levitt Ministries!

I, too, will miss Zola. Some time ago I asked our Father in heaven (Hallowed be His name) for help in understanding the mid-East conflict. Some time after, I noticed Zola on television because he reminded me of my dad. I began watching and learning and loving Zola’s message–a message from above, and an answer to prayer!
Zola was such a great teacher of the true gospel of Messiah, though I think Zola called himself a student of the Holy Spirit. In that case, he has earned golden cords of honor in the eyes of a great many people here, and especially in heaven. Only the Lord knows what the Father has planned for Zola upon graduation, but I’m sure it is a good position, one that our heavenly Father is so very proud to bestow upon His dear son, Zola Levitt.
I pray the Lord will comfort and guide you, Sandra, in the days and months ahead. My heartfelt sorrow to you and the family and staff.
I wish you all well in the name of Y’shua.
April 22nd, 2006 at 1:36 pm
Ps. I think many of us have copies of Zola’s tapes and books that we could share with others. We could also write the Zola Levitt Presents program times and channel on the cover. Recently, I asked someone if they would like one of the booklets in my collection, and they selected a title of interest. The Lord knows how many people were comforted and strengthened by these books through the
Holy Spirit. Zola Levitt was bold for Y’shua in a friendly way.
It works.
April 22nd, 2006 at 2:58 pm
What a loss for myself and others! Rabi Levitt was so gifted,and I thank the Lord for him,and that he shared of his gifts and talents,with all of us,Jews and Gentiles…I will gratly miss him,he was my Rabi,my Teacher.Thank You Rabi for touching my life with You’r Ministrie and for teaching me,and being an example to me..So long for now,I’l see You at the House,in a little while!
Deares Mrs.Levitt,Mark and Familie,
I am so sorry, for You’r loss,and such a grat loss at that!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,because He lives all fear is gone,because I know He holds the Future,life is worth the living just because He lives…Abcent from the Body, is to be pesent with the Lord!
Please keep You’r focus on the Lord,and You won’t sink like Peter did on the Water! Know that You are loved,in my thought’s and prayers.
With much Gaditudeand Love, in Jeshua,Katharina Anschuetz

I met Zola and his son Aaron in 1995, when my mother and I lived in Dallas off of Harvest Hill. I never really had met someone quite like Zola before. This is all very shocking. I really wish Aaron and Zola’s family the best, and will keep them in my prayers. Zola had impacted alot of peoples life, and we should be honored to have known him.
April 22nd, 2006 at 5:56 pm
I know Our Brother Zola is in Jesus arms. Its just all happened so fast i have just meet Zola in January and in a month later we found He was sick. My prayer is for the Family To Zolas precious wife Sandra and his sons. May the peace and the comfort of our Lord and savior Jesus (Yeshua) cover Them.I just pray that God use Zolas wife and His sons in this ministry to reach as many people as possible for the kingdom of God in this last days. May the Lord bless you all. You are in my prayers.

Zola has left a lasting impression in my spirit. For years I have been watching and learning from him. He opened my eyes to the plight of Israel, and the Jewish people. I got to see them through God’s eyes and love them like brothers, all because of Zola’s passion for God’s Word and the real meaning of it. Thank you Zola, I will be grateful forever and never forget you.
April 22nd, 2006 at 6:37 pm
I have been greatly influenced by this godly brother of the faith. I came across his program while checking what was on TBN (I was glad to learn from him about the Bible from a Messianic Jewish perspective). I enjoyed his reports on Israel, the re-enactment of Jewish Feasts from a Christian perspective and his music. I will greatly miss him…and will need to content myself with his recording on DVD, CD and books.
I too now pray for the peace of Jerusalem…Shalom dear brother as you are in your Father’s house.
Your servant in Christ

I THANK GOD I FOUND ZOLA AND HIS TEACHINGS.
HE WAS A BIG PART OF MY LIFE. I TALKED ABOUT HIM TO EVERYONE AND HE INSPIRED ME TO READ THE BIBLE. I’M LEARNING THINGS I NEVER KNEW AND IT’S FASINATING. I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF IT. I KNOW EVER ONE ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD IS WAY AHEAD OF ME ON THAT BUT I’M CATCHING UP AND IT’S BECAUSE OF ZOLA. I’M 59 YEARS OLD….BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. THANK YOU ZOLA. I WILL MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH.
MY LOVE AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE LEVITT FAMILY AND MAY THE LORD WRAP HIS ARMS AROUND EACH OF YOU AND GIVE YOU PEACE AND COMFORT.

I know that Our Lord has another priest in heaven now. I know it’s hard but we should all celebrate that he is at home with Our Lord. May the Lord bless the family and keep the show’s going, because it will honor Zola and his work to the Lord.
April 22nd, 2006 at 10:52 pm
I am grieving at how much Zola is missed already. I grieve because Zola had so much to do with the new road my life took. I never met him but yet I felt like I knew him because I loved watching his shows, I always read his Letter, I read his books, he was like a mentor, my hero….I learned how to be outspoken like he was….I pray that I can continue with the inspiration his life gave me. Though I and so many others miss him so much….I would never wish him back…because he is with Abba! He has looked into the precious face of our Lord Yashuah and has been welcomed home.
I will continue to love and pray and support this ministry. I will continue to love and pray for your dear family who were so blessed to have you.
Zola will NEVER be forgotten.
I love you Zola!
Thank you for being God’s special servant. You changed my life and didn’t even know it.
My tears fall for now at the sadness of you not being here, but they also fall for joy that you truly are now a New Creation in Jesus, with a new body.
love you, love you, love you, love you!

Dear Zola, we will miss you. We hold Sandra, your children, family, and friends close to our hearts. We will never forget you and your great work for the Lord. You have inspired us more in our walk with Yeshua, and in our support of Israel and her people.

I wasn’t expecting to check on him and find that he’d done already. My family has gone to bed but I feel as though I should wake my husband and tell him. It was hard to find the show sometimes, and with my daughter and her children here with us while her husband is stationed overseas we would forget to tune in sometimes, but my daughter loved him, too.
I’d wished to live in Dallas so that somehow I could be with him in worship. Oh, what a blessing he was to us all. We’ve longed for someone in our community like Zola so that we could learn more of the Bible as it should be taught.
To his family I send love for you with the hope that G-d soothes your sore hearts and gives you the strength to carry on. I know it must be hard now to wake up without him with you to start another day.
Take care of yourselves and know that so many love you.

Dear Sandra,Mark,and Aaron & family you have our condolences and deepest sympathy. Zola left behind a great legacy, he was like a modern day prophet his ministry was incredible. He was a great spokesman for the LORD,giving people a christian perspective and a jewish perspective. Zola will hear the words from the LORD well done my good and faithful servant enter into the joy of thy LORD,we will look forward to seeing Zola,all believers, the LORD, and angels when the rapture takes place. We loved Zola and we will miss him.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to Zola’s family, he will be missed greatly. He has been one of a handful of shining lights in an increasingly darkening world, but he is now safe in the hands of a great God. I can imagine him planning tours of the New Jerusalem and writing songs for that great celebration that is yet to come. Although I have not always been able to express my gratefulness for his teaching in a meaningful way, I am deeply indebted to him for bringing me back to a respect for the teaching of prophecy and the knowledge of the role Israel has played and will play in God’s plans. Thank you to the family for sharing him with us.
April 23rd, 2006 at 12:34 pm
Oh Zola
You have inspired me and so many others. Mrs. Levitt you and your family have my husband and my deepest sympathy. Oh Zola, Y’varekh’kha. Adonai v’yiishmerekha. Ya’er Adonai Panav elikha vichunekka. Yissa Adonai panave eleikha v’yasem l’kha shalom. We will see you again Sir. I know we will see you again clothed in white raiment.
Omein.

Just heard today that Zola is with the Lord.
We’d like to send our simpathy to the family and friends of Zola.
We know that he touched our life and that he planted the good seed in what we hope was good soil. The soil is as important as the seed if a good harvest is in the future. The fruit will be good to the Lord.
Blessed Zola, in the arms of Jesus! Isn’t that what we all pray for. What a blessing he has been given!
We will carry on and hold the line till we too shall be home…..
April 23rd, 2006 at 3:02 pm
Zola & Family & Friends, We will miss you! Yet, We’re envious that you have fought the “Good Fight” and now have gone to be with Jesus. Your example of Courage in the face of adversity is an Inspiration to us all. We are praying that we will continue to see past clips of you with new guests and insights from Sandra and Mark Levitt. We will pray for your progam and your family. Thank-You for your obedience to our Lord Jesus! See Eph 3:20
April 23rd, 2006 at 4:21 pm
I KNOW THAT ZOLA IS WITH THE LORD, AND OTHERS THAT HE LOVES…AND THEY ARE HAVING THE “TIME OF THEIR LIFE”…BUT I WILL MISS HIM HERE…AS I AM SURE EVERYONE WILL…
MAY GOD STRENGTHEN AND COMFORT ZOLA’S WIFE ,FAMILY , AND FRIENDS UNTIL WE ALL SEE ZOLA
AGAIN FOREVER. I LOVE YOU ALL….LINDA JOHNSON

I am a 2nd generation Jewish believer in Yeshua and I must say Zola’s ministry was very important to my family. He really helped inspire me and my father to go and talk to his very elderly parents and aunt about Yeshua. They all became believers, even my grandfather who had alzheimer’s!
Shalom and best wishes to Zola’s wife and family, and his ministry. Although we miss Zola, we have the comfort of knowing that we shall see him again, forever

Here is the song Sha-alu Shalom Yerushalyim by David Ison.
When ever I hear it I think of Zola.
April 23rd, 2006 at 8:57 pm
We just want to let Sandra, the entire family, staff and all who were involved with Zola and the ministry how saddened we were to learn of his death and at the same time how grateful we are to have been able to learn about Israel, Jewish culture, Jewish politics, and the Palestinian and Middle East conflict. Zola taught us things through his TV programs, newletters, books, internet, and other media sources that we could never have imagined. When we first watched the TV program in the early 1980′s we knew very little about Jewish issues and were somewhat confused about what was seen and heard on secular television. Zola certainly presented all the facts and issues in a concise and precise manner which was very easy to understand. He taught straight from the Bible and the teachings of Yeshua.
We just want you to know we met you and Zola at a prophecy conference in January 1999 or 2000 in Farmington, NY and want to express our appreciation for meeting such a fine and humble servant of the Lord. We feel somewhat like orphans now that he is gone from the earth and miss him terribly and always will until that great and glorious day when the Lord returns for his own, but at the same time we are gloriously happy in knowing that Zola is with Him in heaven. Zola, thank you for all you have given us through your fine teaching and the ways of God. What a glorious passing! We love and miss you. Shalom, Zola!
April 23rd, 2006 at 10:11 pm
Congratulations,Zola on your promotion and homecoming.No sorry
here for your loss when you get to go to Heaven.
To Zola’s family : What a glorious feeling to know where
Zola is and that he’s in Yesuha’s presence, and that he will be there with Jesus to meet you in the clouds some day Soon.
A personal note I first heard Zola over 25 years ago and he seemed to me then and now what a Christian should be, full of love, and what integrity before God, not fake or egotistic.
So long for now Zola, but “One glad morning when this life is over I’ll fly away” to be with Yesuha and see you along with all the saints of God and there we’ll dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
April 23rd, 2006 at 10:18 pm
To Sandra, Mark and Aaron, and the Zola Levitt Ministries Staff… My heart aches along you all at the loss of your dear one. Our mind can only imagine and anticipate the promises and joy Zola is experiencing at the meeting of his LORD face to face. When I read that Zola had gone home, a shock struck my heart. It was a mixture of saddness, awe, marvel, and then great joy and rejoicing when I remembered the verse that the homegoing of His saints is precious in the sight of the LORD. May the The Comforter comfort you all with His joy and peace that Zola’s struggles are over; his perfection has come. May He give to you all the same strength and zeal to continue telling the gospel message of Jesus Christ to Israel and the world, which He gave to Zola during his service to the Lord Jesus. To God be the glory.
April 23rd, 2006 at 11:18 pm
Dear Zola now at home with our Lamb of God! Zola we know you were greeted by multitudes of saints in heaven who so lovingly learned of the Messiah of Israel through the teachings led by the Holy Spirit through you! Zola we will still have you in our hearts and read and listen to you as your memory here on earth will last as you have taught the eternal message! Thank you Zola for trusting, yielding yourself to be used as an instrument of righteousness for God and us! We loved your music, teaching and the best Israeli programs. Yeshua Messiah you have now seen face to face, the one whose blood shed for you and me, too! I have never seen you face to face either, but someday!
April 24th, 2006 at 12:49 am
I just watched Zola 10 minutes ago, and I wanted to check the website to see his condidtion. I cant belive he is no longer with us. I have always wanted to meet him, and I will, at the throne. May the grace and mercy of our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST be with the family and all the millions that loved Zola. GOD IS GOOD.

The very first computer I recieved was in 1996. I got on the Internet and ran a search for Jewish believers or messianic belivers. The first site I came to was Zola Levitt’s. I also watched his show before on TBN and was like walking out the door of dim lit, musty smelling building with no windows, to a gorgeous summer day. It was the Zola Levitt website that actually inspired me to begin designing websites. The teaching provided through this ministry have been like a drink of fresh cool water on a hot dry day. I will miss him and I do pray for his family
April 24th, 2006 at 10:39 am
Zola will truly be missed. We praise God for him and his ministry.
May God give the family strength and comfort.
April 24th, 2006 at 10:51 am
I will miss him dearly. I could not wait to see him on the air whenever I could watch him. I really liked him. I did not understand the Jewish roots until listening to Zola. I am deeply sad by this loss.
April 24th, 2006 at 10:52 am
How sad but also how full of peace and joy I am. Zola will be so missed. A true and mighty man of God has gone home. We loved him and we will still support his calling and pray for the peace of Israel.Gods peace and comfort we pray for all his family, both the physical and spiritual members of it . We are all one body in Christ.
April 24th, 2006 at 10:59 am
I cried so much when I heard Zola passed away. His familiar voice on TV has been so comforting during many trials in my life. I will miss him greatly!! May God hold his family in the palm of His hand during this difficult time.

Our family has been so blessed by Zola’s Ministry. We knew we could always count on Zola to speak the truth about Israel and the enemies that want to overthrow Israel. We will treasure ALL of our “Levitt Letters”… now more so, that Zola isn’t present with us in the body – but we rejoice knowing we will see him again.
May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob comfort the entire Levitt family with His complete SHALOM.
B’shem Yeshua,

April 24th, 2006 at 2:56 pm
So sorry to hear he is gone from earth … but glad to know he is with our LORD.
You can remove mailing the Zola letters to me … will save you the postage as I plan to read it on the internet.
Our LORD be with you as you grieve your loss.
April 24th, 2006 at 3:13 pm
You win, Zola. You win. You knew it all along, of course. We’ll keep on praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, the Peace that only our Savior can bring. Be talking to you…….
April 25th, 2006 at 12:26 am
We never met Zola personally, but interestingly he was like our next door neighbor and best friend, and he was certainly our teacher, and mentor. Zola’s teaching has given us strength and healing as we have grieved for our only child Daniel who at 22 years of age, went to the Lord ahead of us 2 years ago after a gallant battle with leukemia that lasted 11 years. We really miss Daniel, but we don’t grieve as those do who have no hope! Zola, we will miss you, but I believe very soon, we will meet you, in the air, and we will all see you again because Yeshua is coming for His own before the wrath to come, and we believe this will happen sooner than later! Look up, because our redemtion is drawing very near!
Maranatha!

I lost a friend in this life last week. Although I only spoke to him on three occasions I’ve “known” him for 25 years. Zola taught me much over the years through his televison program and his books about the Jewish roots of my Christian faith. We had a common passion for the land of Israel. I respected him so much that I asked him to sign my Bible and he graciously did. I know that nothing would make him happier than the continued success of His ministry by the loved ones around him. May God continue to bless the Levitt family and your efforts towards that goal.
April 26th, 2006 at 9:51 am
Goodbye my friend. I shall see you again.
April 27th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
I just want to say I’ve just learned this news and I’m shocked!! I’ve been so very concerned since he announced he had cancer but never expected it to go so fast. What an incredible man of God!!! I’m so glad he’s able to rejoice with the angels now and is free of the bonds of this earth, and of all the pain. May God truly bless his memory, his family and his incredible ministry. Thankyou for all you do to teach us how to love God’s people. I want to stay a part of your ministry for a long time. May God be your strength during these difficult days. Mary R.Ellis

I am deeply sad that Zola has left us. I know that he is with our Lord, but it still hurts to see someone you love leave.I will always remember Zola for being a man of God,a lover of Israel and a great musician.
Shalom my brother
April 28th, 2006 at 12:50 am
Dearest Sandra, Levitt Family and Friends,
My heart is broken and I cry…yet, there is joy and peace. May God be praised for the life of precious Zola. He touched my life and my heart just as if he had been my own and I know that I am not alone. What a magnificent saint. What a sight it must have been at his meeting with Yeshua!
May you continue to feel His comforting embrace…

Dear Family of Zola, We will miss Zola so very much. We have learned so much from him. The world was blessed by his messages and music. We know that Zola is with our dear Lord and is now free from pain and sorrow, and this is a great comfort to us.
Most Sincerely, Jim and Ruth Huebner
April 29th, 2006 at 5:48 pm
Zola was a humble servant of the Lord. We have watched and supported Zola’s ministry since the mid 1980s. We will miss the way he enriched the gospel and brought it to life! Our love for Israel and it’s importance is a direct result of his wise insight and frank discussions over the years. We will miss him greatly! Our thoughts and prayers to his family; yet we rejoice in his promotion to be with our Savior.
God Bless, Jim and Jan White

My mother and I are deeply saddened to hear of Zola’s passing but we also rejoice knowing he recieved the ultimate healing and his promotion. We have learned alot from Zola’s ministry and we know theat the Lord will continue His work with Zola’s ministry. Our hearts go out to his family and our prayers remain with them during this time.
April 29th, 2006 at 11:58 pm
I cried when I heard about Zola leaving us.
I loved this man. He taught me so much. I have clung on every word he spoke and taught for about 30 years now. I have so many of his books.
God surely has looked down on Zola and said, “well done my good and faithful servant”.
I pray that God will give the peace that passes all understanding to his family and friends.
I pray that God will open the eyes of our hearts so that we may see Him more clearly.
April 30th, 2006 at 11:27 am
May Yahweh Bless His Family and Ministry.
Zola has really been a blessing in my life.
I was ten years old when I first saw his show.
I have learn to TAKE HOLD of my roots.
At this time of sadness I and my family and congregation also greave.

My heart is still heavy, my tears still fall. I miss you Zola. You made a difference in the life of my family. You helped me understand the scriptures I had read and studied for more than 30 years. I weep for your family, for your staff, for us all, because I truly miss you, need you. The Rapture must indeed be soon. I do pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
I am still weeping at our loss of your love for us all.

May God bless Sandra and your loving family, Ken Berg and all the staff of Zola Levitt Live. I hope you rename your program Zola Levitt LIVES! Keep going for Jesus. Zola’s teachings are as timeless as scripture — rerun them for years. I will continue to watch until Jesus comes. Shalom, shalom dear ones. May Jesus reveal to you, Zola, how much you mean and how loved you are by those who loved your teaching here on earth. My heart is broken but still I rejoice knowing it is a temporary separation, and our beloved Zola and our King Jesus we will see soon. I hope to still get that Zola-led Israeli tour one day in the millennium! All my love, Polly

I did not know until now, that this servant was gone to be with the Lord, this guy did a lot to the kingdom of God. I will be gone too like him to my dweling place where Jesus lives for ever and ever, this life is vanity and all that is withing it. but Jesus is for ever and ever no more death for this body because we will have a body like Jesus has. Congratulations! Zola Levitt for entering into heaven where we all going to meet together, to the family rejoice and be glad because Zola is in a better place than we are, we can still sin on this earth but Zola has no more problem with sins.

I hadn’t watched Zola for a while and tuned in last night. I knew something was wrong and went to the website to see. I cried when I found that he had already died. . . I cried harder when I read that he’d died from the disease that killed my father, the quick and merciless lung cancer.
My husband started me watching Zola several years ago. He’d been watching him for years before that. We both enjoyed and respected Zola’s teaching. The explanations from the Jewish perspective added so much, as did the programs where he showed us what was what in Israel and how it related to our beliefs. I should have thanked Zola. Instead, I . . we pay our respects to him and his family.
“Well done good and faithful servant. I no longer call you my servant, I call you my friend.” “In the eyes of the foolish they appear to be dead.” Zola, however, is in the eternal presence of G-d. Alleluia!! Shaalu Shalom Yerushalayim

I just found out about Zola this morning. I’m sad at our lost and I pray for his family and friends. He taught me so very much. I’ll miss him but thanks be to GOD, Zola’s work will follow him.He’s present with the LORD.That makes me smile.
May 1st, 2006 at 8:36 am
I AM BLESS TO HEAR SUCH A WONDERFUL, GOD FEARING MAN, MOST MORNING WHILE WALKING ON MY TREADMILL. I WOULD SAY I AM SORRY, BUT PART ME IS JEALOUS, BECAUSE HE MADE IN TO HEAVEN BEFORE ME. I KNOW MY TIME IS COMING. I KNOW I HAVE MORE WORK TO DO FOR THE LORD. I AM PRAYING FOR SANDRA AND HIS FAMILY. I WILL I LOVE BE AT THE SERVICE ON MAY 7,2006. HE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH.

May 1st, 2006 at 9:33 am
I just heard about Zola’s passing into the presence of our Redeemer and Savior…last night. My heart sank. I will never forget the 1st time I saw Zola in Columbus, Ohio in February of 2003 at a Bible Conference. I have shared his words MANY times with people: He said, “Do any of you know anyone Jewish? Do any of you have friends who are Jewish?” The auditorium was quiet. Then Zola said, “Well, I suggest you begin meeting some Jewish people and get to know them because…the FIRST person you’re going to meet after you die…will be the KING OF THE JEWS!” You could hear one huge gasp – from the whole audience! That made my Y’shua so real for me! I am a Gentile but I’ll tell you this – not until one makes the connection between the Feasts of Israel, and the Jewishness of the Messiah, does God’s plan of salvation make perfect and clear sense! Thank you Father God for Zola’s life. I have learned SO much from him. I am slighlty envious because he has heard his Savior say, “Well done, good and faithful servant…” One more saint I look forward to meeting in Heaven! God’s blessings and peace on Zola’s family.
May 1st, 2006 at 3:39 pm
Words could never express the wonderful blessing Zola broacasts have been to me. I will miss him much but know he is now in the presence of Yeshua.
He truely was a humble and faithful servant.
May 1st, 2006 at 10:14 pm
“And then Jerusalem, We’ll sing Baruch Hashem a thousand years!” OH ZOLA!, what a servant you are still! Your ministry lives on here as you do in Heaven. Beloved Brethren, how much longer can it be before our Messiah returns? Keep faithful, keep watching the eastern sky. WITNESS, WITNESS, WITNESS! As Zola said, become known in your neighborhood as the crazy person who can’t stop talking about Jesus! Yes, you’ll be rejected by some, but you will not be rejected by all! Many hungry Jewish and non-Jewish hearts! WITNESS for Christ — open your mouths and see what God will supply!
NOW, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
May 1st, 2006 at 11:00 pm
Dear Sandra, Mark and Aaron, My heart aches for your loss. Having been through similar losses, I know it will bless you to hear that so many thousands of people are grieving with you. I’m so grateful to you, Zola’s family, for sharing him with us, and entering into the work of the Lord your family is called to do. We will stand with you as you continue to be the clear and true voice of Israel and the Jewish people here in the states. Zola’s ministry has blessed me more than I can ever put into words. I’ve saved every Levitt Letter for years now, and treasure them all. Please continue to bring Bible prophecy lessons to the program, and whatever else the good Lord lays on your hearts to share with the body of believers that treasure you more than you know.
May 1st, 2006 at 11:18 pm
I was so sorry to learn this morning of the passing of Zola. He was such a man of God and such an inspiration to me. He always made me stop and think. I will miss him and I pray for his family and staff.
May 2nd, 2006 at 12:06 am
It was a close friend of mine who called me just a few days ago to tell me about Zola’s death on April 19th. I knew for years Zola had a heart condition and a couple of operations, but I never knew about the cancer until I read about it on the ministry’s website.
My husband and I have followed Zola’s ministry for many years and have enjoyed it and learned so much from it. It will be difficult to not see Zola’s face on TV, anymore, especially on some programs where he dressed in Biblical fashion, to hear his voice or read his words. I’m glad the ministry will continue as Zola would want.
The Lord’s timing for any believer’s “promotion” is not always easy for us here on Earth to understand. Zola wasn’t an old man by today’s standards, being in his sixties, but he did have a lot of health problems. Anyway, I feel bad for the
family he left behind and pray God will comfort them. They still have a lot of work ahead of them to do for The Kingdom. Although it’s difficult to speak of Zola in the past tense, especially when the ministry bears his name, his struggle is over with. He must really be enjoying the Heaven he always talked about. That’s the really good part.
By the way, I’m a Jewish believer, just as Zola was.
May 2nd, 2006 at 8:08 am
Although Its a HUGE loss for us, i’m happy for him. He’s home and happy with his G-D and Savior…not to mention his BEST friend. Celebrating a job well done, Or atleast getting ready to…
I started watching and learning from Zola about 20 years ago and his wisdom and insight to all things Biblical confirmed the idea that Paul ventured in Romans 3:1-2…theres nothing like a literal son of Abraham explaining his birthright to the gentiles. Israelis have an understanding of God’s oracles like none other when they finally see Yeshua ha’moshiach for what He is. Zola (to me) proved this and i’m grateful that G-d equiped him so well to complete his mission. we’ll see him again when we all get home to Fathers house so no worries
May 2nd, 2006 at 11:09 am
To Sandra Levitt, Zola’s whole family, staff and everyone who watched his wonderful program, including myself: I grieve for our loss, but rejoice for his joy, peace and newly-found good health. He has gained new strength; he has mounted up with wings like eagles; he runs without tiring, and walks without getting weary. Blessed is the name of the Lord. I only learned of Zola’s death the morning of May 1st as I watched the program. For reasons I don’t really understand, my hand immediately flew into the air and the words “Praise be to God” came out of my mouth as the tears began to flow accompanied by great, wracking sobs. It was a new experience for me; that combination of great grief and great joy. Then came the feeling of peace from knowing how SAFE Zola now is, even though his “promotion” has left us bereft. I used to wonder why, at the Rapture, the “Dead in Christ” were taken up before the living. I don’t know HOW many pastors and others I asked, and the answer was always the same: “I don’t know.” Then one day, out of the blue when I wasn’t even thinking about it, a thought almost like a bright flash of light inserted itself into my brain. “Of COURSE the dead are taken first! They have been IN Christ ever since their deaths; they KNOW his plans; they are taken first to BE there to GREET us and get us organized.” It dawned on me that even though the Rapture is a wonderful event, those of us taken alive are going to have some trauma. What better way to assure us and settle us down than to have a HOST of familiar and loved folks there to encourage us? I don’t know if I’m even CLOSE to the “real” reason, but I suddenly had no more questions about it. If I’m still alive at the Rapture, I plan to see Christ high and lifted up in the midst of His saints. Our eyes will first go to Him, but soon, all those who have preceded us in death will be among us, soothing, blessing, organizing. I pictuere our Lord with a HUGE smile on HIS face as he watches His ‘Dead in Christ” taking charge of this confused, milling herd of stunned and amazed Rapturees. There will be ZOLA LEVITT! there will be ADRIAN ROGERS! there will be my MOM and DAD! – my GRANDPARENTS!, loving us and helping us into the realm of God. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. PRAISE BE TO GOD! for the life of Zola Levitt; even GREATER PRAISE BE TO GOD! for bringing him HOME. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Levitt family, for sharing Zola with us all these years. May the Lord bless you and keep you; May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you: May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you – and give you PEACE.

I just checked on Zola’s condition and am sad to read the current post. I will miss seeing him on television, but I know that Zola really did not die, he just graduated to glory before any of us. I am happy that Zola did not have to suffer very long. My mom died from a brain tumor and she suffered for three months in a hospital bed at home before she went. I think if Zola would want anything from his family and friends it would be as he always would say at the end of each program, “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.” My prayers are now with his family and that the Holy Spirit will comfort all those who morn. I had just sent an offering in the mail today for his ministry before checking up on his condition.
Peace and Prayers,
A Christian Zionist

We were very sad to hear that Zola has gone to be with the Lord, yet at the same time, we rejoiced that God has taken home one of His choicest and most faithful servants. While we never met him personally, we have been greatly influenced by his ministry. It has literally changed our lives, and for that we are eternally grateful. We will continue to pray for Sandra and the family, as well as for those in the ministry. God bless you. Shalom.
May 2nd, 2006 at 5:48 pm
Dear Sandra, family and staff, We grieve with you all, our loss is heaven’s gain as they say. I first caught Zola late on Saturday evening many years ago. I was immediately pulled into his message and him as a person. When we moved to the Jersey shore my sister told me that she found this wonderful man on Christian TV she said his name was Zola. She thought she was telling me about someone new but she quickly learned by my excitement that I was well aware of who he was. I became a faithful student and shared with friends who like me became faithful as well. He was unique there is no one like him he leaves a gapping hole, but since we have to continue for a short while without him – his messages will live in our hearts. It is safe to say that many times the phrase, “Remember what Zola said” will cross our lips again and again. I even reherse saying “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem” and think of Zola. What a great impact he had on so many of us. So good is our GOD to bring us under Zola’s teaching. Nothing is lost we will carry it to the end.This is what I have shared – If Zola’a work on earth is done then the rapture cannot be far behind. It was wonderful to see you Sandra with Zola and get to know a little more about you and your family. What a beautiful woman you are Zola was a blessed man to have you as his wife and have such wonderful sons. Thanks a million for allowing me this opportunity to pour out my heart. May GOD bless you all and Sha-alu Shalom Yirushalayim. Pat Kerr

I just heard of Zola’s passing. I must say I’m deeply saddened & my heart goes out to his family. I’ve always enjoyed watching his programs & when he’d travel to Jerusalem & read scripture, I always found it even more interesting. I also found the way he presented the word to where even I could understand it better.Such a wonderful teacher Zola was. I know he’s in a better place now. He was such an inspiration to everybody. I wish I could have met him, but I know I will one day.
May 2nd, 2006 at 11:16 pm
I miss the man. I looked forward to beginning my week by watching Zola on Monday mornings. But, we can take comfort in this scripture: Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perish, and no man lays it to heart and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
We shall see him again. God Bless the Levitt family. I will be praying for you all.
May 3rd, 2006 at 9:58 pm
with all you have taught me Zola…that I might be able to lay just a fraction of the crowns you have to lay at our Lord’s feet… thank you…see you soon…
May 4th, 2006 at 9:03 am
Zola was a real warrior and will be sorely missed. We will always carry with us the wonderful memories of our trip to Israel with Zola in December, 1999. And we look forward to seeing him again when none of us will have pain or infirmities. God bless his family and know that what Zola is hearing now is “well done, good and faithful servant.”
May 4th, 2006 at 9:06 am
I just heard the news about Zola going to be with our Lord.
He will be missed by so many. His teachings will live on and will
continue to reach the lost. To Sandra,his family, and all who worked so closely
with Zola, my thoughts and prayers are with you. He touched my life in so many ways
and I give thanks to God that I was so blessed to have found Zola’s teachings.
I look forward to meeting him one day soon.
God Bless you all and the ministry.
May 4th, 2006 at 5:53 pm
I have been moving the last month and just today realized why Zola looked so weak
on the few moments of his program that I caught this week when I finally got satellite
again! I am truly sad that we are all left behind but oh so grateful for the wonderful
light that was Zola! And I know he is now safe and getting answers to all those questions
he said he wanted to find out when he got to Heaven…soon I pray we will all be home
and safe with Jesus…In His Joy…but missing Zola already…
V. Saliba
P.S. Did he get to make that one “last program” that he said he “had in mind”???
May 4th, 2006 at 7:22 pm
Dear Sandra,Family and Staff:
I pray to Adonai that I too may follow in Zola’s footsteps. Zola is a true warrior of Hashem Tzavaot! Although, he has been promoted to his new post in heaven, it is now up to us, his millions of students to continue the work of: “…the jew first…” Sha’alu Shalom Yerushalayim!

Zola’s Victory was truly in Christ and now he stands in His presence! We will miss Zola so very much, his teaching and viligence to bring the true knowledge of God for the Jew and the Gentile as well as his many prominant guests from the Middle East. It was always a joy to receive “The Levitt Letter” and read the truth in news Zola approached with no apologies! Praise God for men like Zola and we are looking up for our redemption draws near….We love you and see you soon! I am sure your new post is an AWESOME one!
May 4th, 2006 at 11:10 pm
Zola has been my teacher for many years. Through him I learned to love Israel and the Jewish people. I was blessed to meet him a few years ago at the Holyland Experience. I will greatly miss him. Thank You Zola for giving me so much. Love Always Donna and Chuck
May 5th, 2006 at 6:45 pm
I admired Zola’s love for the Lord and his courageous battle with heart surgery and then lung cancer. He was a true soldier for the Lord. I rarely missed his weekly T.V. broadcast and checked the website daily for his health news – offering a prayer for him with each check.
His web site explanations were very helpful as he offered Jewish insight and answers to questions that often perplexed even the more studious among our study group.
Why, the Lord chose to take Zola home at this time is a mystery for now, however, I don’t believe that we will have very long to wait before we all will meet again. Maranantha!
May 5th, 2006 at 7:11 pm
A teacher of Love Joy And Peace. Which is our Lord.
Thank You Brother your teachings will go on.
May 5th, 2006 at 10:05 pm
I have watched Zola on TV for many years. He has really been a blessing in my life. I have learned many things from his teachings. It broke my heart to hear that he passed away,but I know that he is with the LO-RD now. I will really miss him, he was, and still is, a great man of G-d. May G-d bless you all.
May 6th, 2006 at 4:15 am
I first discovered Zola in the summer of 1982 on CBN when I was visiting relatives in Kansas, we didn’t have that channel in New York at that time. Being Jewish, I had only heard negative things about Messianic Jews up to that point. I wish to thank this man for helping me make a 180 degree turn and leading me to the messiah. The world already seems like a much darker & colder place without him, my Sunday nights will always feel different.
May 6th, 2006 at 11:42 pm
My husband,Dan,and I turned to the church network on our Direct TV Satellite system tonight, May 06, 06. We were saddened to learn that our dear brother, Zola, had been called Home to Heaven. I just sat still, in unbelief, with tears streaming. My husband has been fighting Throat Cancer now for a Year, using all natural herbs. If we had only known…. God’s ways seem so difficult to understand at such times, but we Must continue to Trust until we are all called Up Yonder.
Our prayers and hearts are with Zola’s family, relatives, friends and staff members.

PS….I eagerly await the day SOON when we, Yeshua’s Faithful, will see the demise of satan and all his legion and ways, when Cancer will no longer be spoken in the Present, but only the far distant PAST!

Mishpokah,
I alway’s wanted to go to Israel with Zola.I made it last year with Rabbi Judah Hungerman,from Fla.,& heard people say that the only tour that was AS good was Zola’s!I still look forward to seeing him,in the New Jerusalem,SOON!
I heard about his death today & it was “bittersweet”.I loved Zola because he introduced me to Yeshua in the seder.How appropriate that he went home the last night of Passover.

I sent an email earlier this morning re: Zola Levitt Presents.
I have found your website and am now reading what has been written.
Also, I may have been in error when I said there was no broadcast, today (Monday, May
May 8th, 2006 at 8:01 am
I am thankful for how Zola served the Lord for so many years. I pray the Lord brings comfort to his family in their time of grieving. Zola is with the Lord. As Christians we “sorrow not has others who have no hope.” Zola and his work will not be forgotten and will continue to bring souls to the Lord.
May 8th, 2006 at 8:11 am
My condolences go out to the Family and friends of Zola.
I was touched by his life and ministry. I will truly miss his gentle spirit and quiet confidence as he taught me about Israel and the bible.
But most of all I am happy to know he is now with Christ.
I plan to still support your ministry in prayer and finances.
May God continue to Bless you and your ministry.
May 8th, 2006 at 8:36 am
Dear Sandra,Mark,and Staff,
Our beloved Zola is now with Messiah,our Lord Jesus Christ.When I read that Zola had gone home to Heaven , I wepted and I rejoiced. I shall never forget going to Dallas many years ago to the Zola Levitt Ministries office. I was so very happy to visit with all the staff. Zola was away on a tour and my husband, Paul and I did not get to meet him in person . I will see him when one day when we are taken up and I say “Even so come quickly Lord Jesus”, but until then I will continue to be a friend to my Jewish unsaved friends and always rejoicing with those who know Messiah.May the Lord continue to bless the ministry and I pray the Lord will enable us to do more for this wonderful ministry that we love so much.
Love in Christ,Mary Coward for all the

The news of the departure of this great man of God has filled my heart with sorrow because I have lost a father and a teacher, but also my heart is happy because he is now with our Lord, cancer free, pain free and enjoying a well deserved peace in Heaven. My prayers are for all his family and friends, may God bless you and keep the Zola Levitt letter stronger as Zola was. My prayers also go to this wonderful ministry.
Please Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!!!
Shalom, see you next time in heaven dear friend Zola.

I was backslidden living for myself with no concern for God whatsoever. It was then, just a few weeks ago, that the Lord led me again to Zola’s TV program and through listening to the teaching of this Man of God in his final days I’ve rededicated my life to the Lord and can feel His presence in my heart like I have not for many, many years. Thank you God for using Zola in my life. Thank you for his ministry. Zola, I’ll catch you on the other side – we have a lot to discuss and I’m sure the Lord will give us plenty of time to talk when I meet you there. Of course, Zola’s family and staff remain in my prayers. I’m confident that the Lord will strengthen and console. I’m also confident that the Lord will provide as this ministry continues per Zola’s wishes.
May 8th, 2006 at 8:16 pm
When I heard that Zola had passed onto be with Yeshua, my heart missed a beat. What or who could possibly replace such a giant of the faith? Yes, we have all been very blessed over the years with all that Zola has brought into the lives who watched his great progams. I for one have been blessed since meeting Yeshua myself in 1979, and Zola was one of those who blessed me greatly. His programs encouraged me when I thought I could not go another day, and drove me into the Word of God to study and show myself approved. Oh, how we will miss him. I say this with a heavy heart, yet filled with joy that he is with his beloved Messiah, Yeshua. One day, we will be with him, and we will all rejoice with one voice around the throne of God. I pray that his family be very, very encouraged of the legacy that they will carry on. Be Blessed.

Zola – A friend and mentor
I cried when I heard he was sick – cried when he passed. Zola has been a huge part of my walk with the Lord for many, many years. I converted to Catholicism several years ago but still have watched all of his shows, received his newsletter and consider him one of my precious spiritual fathers. I will miss him and look forward to seeing him on the other side. My prayers are with his family
May 10th, 2006 at 8:09 pm
I wish to express my deep regret to Zola’s family. I only knew him as a great teacher; others knew him as a friend, husband, or father. Their loss cries for our prayers.
In Christ,

Having been “away” from the website & show for a while, I recently was thinking about Zola. & tonight, God led me to the website where I received the shocking news of his death. I am in tears right now – sad ones because I will miss Zola, & tears of joy because I know he is with the Lord & someday we will meet in Heaven!! Thank you Zola for the wonderful ministry, teaching, newsletters & virtual tours of your beloved Israel. You have given me a real education over the years for which I am very grateful. You have been a real blessing & I will think of you every time I “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.”
May 18th, 2006 at 6:16 pm
I had not visited the website in about a year. I had not seen the show for a while either. I watched it just last Sunday (May 14), and I was shocked at the way he looked. I was thinking to myself that he looked very ill and weak. I told my husband about it and he said “go to the website and see if you can find out what is going on.” Today I went to the ZolaBoard and read that Zola had passed away. I am SO sad. He was an awesome man of God, and a true blessing. He will be missed. Our hearts and prayers go out to the Levitt family. We love you Zola and we will see you in Heaven.
In Christ,

My heart is heavy with the loss of Zola. I never knew how much his teachings. Meant to me until now. I looked foward to each new edition of the newsletter.As through Zola’s newsletter i grew to love God’s chosen people even more.I truly enjoyed watching his teachings on televison.He truly was annointed of God.I will miss Zola dearly as i am so saddend by his passing.
To his family,I wish to express my sincerest and most heartfelt sympathy.
May 20th, 2006 at 10:51 pm
Thank you Zola for being a living example of how a true servant of Christ should be. You showed dignity and strength throughout your ordeal, and what a way to go and meet the One who entrusted you with His affairs on this earth. You were the sweet messenger of the Lord, your face always showed grace and kindness, your face lit up the screen and the knowledge you had of your Lord and His word gave us the desire to know Him more. Thank you for the lessons you taught us and for studying the word of God, but most of all for giving example on how to live for our Lord and how to exit this world with dignity, yet with the determination to hold on to your post until the Lord called you unto Him and gathered you in His arms. I will miss seeing you on “your post”, your sweet smile will always stay with us!Thank you for teaching me to say “Sha’alu shalom Yerushalayim”, and so we’ll meet in heaven my brother.
May 22nd, 2006 at 12:46 am
Dear Levitt Family: I know this is late, but I just heard about Zola’s Homegoing when I tuned into the program tonight, May 21st, 2006. Please accept my sincerest sympathy, love and prayers.
I have been out of touch awhile,for,you see, my own father went Home to be with HIS Lord Jesus just 24 hours before Zola. So, I hope you can understand my being “out of it” for the past few weeks. I know your pain, even though we know where Dad and Zola are…they were probably in the same “Heavenly Foyer” to meet Jesus and are probably GREAT friends already!! I know Dad would have LOVED Zola!!!
Please know that I always loved Zola as well, and could never wait for my next Levitt Letter!!! He was always so “right on the money” regarding Israel and the events of the Middle East. Not like you read in the mainstream press…it was almost as if Y’Shua were giving him the inspired insight to write!!!
May God grant you all peace, assurance and joy in the knowledge that we all will meet again soon at the Marriage Supper in the Sky!! I can’t wait to see Dad and Zola together again in Glory!!
Prayerfully yours in Christ’s love and sympathy, John Donahue, Aldie, VA
May 22nd, 2006 at 10:31 pm
I just heard of Zola’s passing and am sadened but happy that now he is with Jesus and is healed. My Dad and I have been watching Zola since the early 80′s when I was still in elementary school. I credit Zola’s teachings about the Holy Land for my entusiasim for Jewish culture and wanting to study the Bible. I will continue to pray and support the ministry as it continues and as always Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
May 26th, 2006 at 5:06 pm
…well done, thou good and faithful servant…
My heart is heavy–but only because I will miss
your sweet voice teaching me so correctly.
You have greatly touched my life and the life of
my family. You made a difference.
See you soon.

A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE ASKED ME A FEW WEEKS AGO IF I WATCHED ZOLA LEVITT.WELL, I HAVE ONLY BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR 4 YEARS AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAD NOT WATCHED THE PROGRAMMING.HOWEVER AFTER THIS DEAR LADY TOLD ME ABOUT HIM, I FOUND HIS PROGRAM AND BEGAN WATCHING, THIS WAS ABOUT 3 WEEKS BEFORE ZOLA WENT TO BE WITH THE LORD,I FELT SO COMFORTABLE WATCHING HIM.IT WAS AS IF I HAD FOUND MY HOME AND WISH I HAD FOUND HIM EARLIER. YOU SEE, I WENT TO ISRAEL LAST OCTOBER FOR THE FIRST TIME AND KNEW THAT THIS WAS MY HOME.I NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH PEACE AS I EXPERIENCED IN JERUSALEM.I HAVE A GREAT NEED TO GO BACK.AND WHEN I FOUND ZOLA,HIS LOVE FOR ISRAEL WAS SO OBVIOUS.I FELT THAT I HAD MADE A NEW FRIEND.MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.MAY GODS PEACE BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. I KNOW THAT YOU MISS HIM VERY MUCH.MAY HIS GENTLE SPIRIT BE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS YOU.SHAALUSHALOM YERUSHALAHIM.

I just found out about the recent passing of Zola, I watched him as much as I can. I am quite upset to find this out as I so loved him and his teachings. My condolences go out to his family and friends. Please know that he was a blessed man and what better place than to be with the Lord.
January 8th, 2007 at 2:28 am
My ill husband was so sad when Zola passed away. Sadly on Nov 02/06 my husband also died. He had in recent years fallen in love with the Jewish people in a deeper way than I can even describe. Now I want to put something on his gravestone to reflect that love. Would it be appropriate to put those words that Zola always said at the end of his program?
I would like them in Hebrew and in english. ” Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” they shall be at rest that love thee. Could you give me the correct Hebrew for the first part of this verse.
Thank you,
February 14th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
I thank you Lord Jesus for the blessings you give through your people. Thank you Heavenly Father, that we have not been left alone but that you have sent your precious Holy Spirit to be in us and live your will through us. I thank you Lord for the life you lived in Zola. He was a wonderful blessing to me and many others around the world. Lord, you preformed an amazing work in this dear and gentle man. He laid down his worldly desires and options to walk with his precious savior. May the Lord continue to bless and invite through the continued work of Zola Levitt ministries.
In Christ,

Even at this late hour, I cannot help but post my thoughts and hope that they will be well received. Zola was one of the first television teachers that I watched when I was saved in the late 90s and even though I was a baby in Christ, I knew that he spoke the truth. Today I am watching archived footage of Zola with great joy and a longing to see him in Heaven. I wish I could have made one of his tours and had a chance to speak to him in person and I am sure I am not alone in this sentiment.
I watch the current show with my wife or alone and can still feel the same spirit of love and joy that makes me want to be a part of the Levitt ministry ( If only I had something of value to offer
) Perhaps one day My wife and I will be able to join one of the tours and at least have the chance to be a small part of something that has not only touched our lives but lives around the world.
P.S. I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem

To the family of Zola:
I was very saddened by the news of Zola’s homegoing; yet a bit jealous too because I await the day that the Lord will call me home. I am an African-American Pastor in the City of Trenton, New Jersey for twenty years. I have not only been blessed by Zola’s books but have been guided by his teachings. There were times in my ministry when I wanted to give up, but I would hear something from him that caused me to be encouraged to hold on and do things the way of the Bible. My prayers are with you all and I would love to continue to receive material from his ministry, if that is possible.
