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 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.

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…

P.S. Did he get to make that one “last program” that he said he “had in mind”???

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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 8)
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.

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
Paul Alderman Coward family,all 22 of us and soon to be 23 and ….. Hartsville, South Carolina, May 8, 2006

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.

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.

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,
John

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.

I often wondered what happened to Zola levitt. He opened my eyes to questions I had about the LORD. GOD said SEEK HIM. I did and I appreciate this program. I ask everyone I know to watch this program because I feel that the LORD guides you all to lead HIS FLOCK in the right direction. I’ll miss my friend. But, Zola was a faithful servant and GOD SAID WELL DONE to Zola. Thank you for keeping up his good works. I’ll be watching because I’m still seeking. I believe that JEWS are the chosen people and thanks for sharing and caring.
