David & Ilona Rosenthal | Zion's Hope

David is President of Zion’s Hope and Editor-in-Chief of Zion’s Fire magazine – a leading Christian magazine on biblical theology, Israel, the Middle East, and end-time prophecy. He previously co-founded The Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Florida – a thematic, 15-acre, multi-sensory Bible-teaching venue with large-scale re-creations of key historic sites in Israel.

As a prolific writer, dynamic Bible teacher, and international travel leader, David has led more than 40 teaching tours to lands of the Bible including Israel, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

With his extensive knowledge of biblical history, culture, geography, and current events, David has the unique ability to bring biblical destinations to life – explaining their rich, spiritual importance within Scripture – and detailing their potential prophetic significance in the days ahead.

David’s ministry passion is to proclaim the need for personal salvation through Jesus Christ to both Jewish and Gentile people, and to help Christians grow in their understanding of God’s ultimate plan for the restoration of Israel and redemption of the Earth.

David resides in Central Florida with his wife and three teenage children. His wife Ilona frequently accompanies him on tours, also coordinates and is involved with Servant’s Heart short-term mission trips at Zion’s Hope.
