Subject: Newsgroup update
Dear Mishpochah (family):
There has been no newsgroup since August 17.
I spent the last few weeks of
August finalizing the editing,
proofing and printing of my new book, "Restoring the Two
Houses of
Israel". The book was printed on August 31.
I was working extremely hard
to have the book printed for the
Messianic Israel Alliance conference in Orlando, Florida. I knew
when
I started to write the book on November 27, 1998 that meeting
this
date would be tight and it was.
God just worked incredibly with
the publisher and the printer
to get the book printed for the conference. I sent the publisher
the
manuscript in the middle of June. The book was printed in the end
of
August. Normally, the publisher allocates 90 days from the
receiving
of the manuscript to the printing of the book. The book was
completed
so fast with such incredible timing that the publisher wants me
to
write a testimony for them how fast this book got printed and how
the
hand of God moved so mightily in the process.
There was a new printer that moved
across the street from the
publisher in the summer. Initially, they had problems with
getting
the plant started and there was a question mark whether the new
plant
would be operational in time to print the book. However, they got
their problems resolved and the the book was printed two days
before the
conference !!!
In order for me to receive the
books for the first day of the
conference, they had be sent overnight via FedEx. I received five
boxes of books for the conference.
The Lord touched the hearts
of the people at the conference
with a desire that they needed to read, "Restoring the Two
Houses of
Israel" so strongly that I sold ALL the books in the five
boxes and
had to take backorders!
The Messianic Israel
Alliance conference was over Labor Day
weekend.
Because I neglected to
do ministry things that I do on a weekly
basis to finish the writing, proofing and printing of the book
the
last two weeks of July and the first few weeks of August, I got
behind with such things as processing new newsgroup member
requests for
the months of July and August and processing the nearly 400
"bounced"
e-mail messages from the last newsgroup on August 17 in addition
to
processing members change of e-mail addresses etc. Furthermore, I
had
to get the past orders for my books, "The Seven Festivals of
the
Messiah" and "Who is the Bride of Christ?"
current. There was a
RECORD number of new members for July and August that I needed to
process. We had over 300 new members in those two months alone!
While I have processed these new members, I have not had time to
answer their questions/comments etc when they filled out the
comments
section of the questionnaire/guestbook. I plan on getting this
caught
up in October. All of my book orders are processed and current.
The
Messianic Israel Alliance conference was over Labor Day
weekend. I spent the last two weeks getting caught up with the
things
mentioned above.
Today, I am leaving to go to Ocean Shores, Washington to
particapate in the Feast of Tabernacles. I will be there from
September 23-30, 1999. Then, I will be flying to Houston, Texas
where
I will be doing some teachings in the area over the weekend. If
any
newsgroup members live within driving distance of Houston and
would
like to hear me speak on the Festivals, sabbath, law/grace, the
prophetic significance of the current Middle East peace process,
please contact Robb Berry at (issachar@flash.net)
and he will let you
know where I will be speaking and my weekend schedule for Sept 30
-
Oct 3, 1999 in the Houston area.
When I get back from the Feast of Tabernacles in Ocean
Shores and my speaking engagements in Houston, I will need
another
week to get caught up again.
Therefore, the projected next newsgroup will be the
week of October 11, 1999.
THANK YOU for your patience and your understanding
with my busy schedule. I LOVE the newsgroup. I LOVE the
fellowship, I
LOVE keeping God's people informed with what is happening in the
nation
of Israel and giving them a hunger to understand and study the
Hebraic/Jewish roots of their faith in Messiah. For this reason,
it
hurts my heart when there is no newsgroup for several weeks.
However,
I get peace in my heart when I realize that God has everthing
under
control and it is HIS ministry to HIS people.
I know that many people on this newsgroup have read
one or both of my recent books, "The Seven Festivals of the
Messiah"
and "Who is the Bride of Christ?" and have been blessed
by them
greatly because I get perpetual e-mail notes from our members
thanking me for taking the time and effort to write these books
for
the benefit of the members of the body of Messiah who are seeking
to
understand their rich Hebraic heritage in Messiah.
Therefore, i know that MANY on the newsgroup are
looking forward to reading my new book, "Restoring the Two
Houses of
Israel."
The book is 12 chapters and 544 pages. The first
part of the book examines doctrinal issues which have
historically
divided Judaism and Christianity like Torah/grace, Sabbath, who
is
the church, who is Israel, Is Yeshua/Jesus the Jewish Messiah, Is
the
Messiah God manifested in the flesh (YHVH) and eschatology (study
of
the last days).
The last part of the book deals with the
prophetic significance of the current Middle East peace process
in the
restoration, reunification and unity of both houses of Israel. In
order to get a background and an understanding of this, I have a
chapter on the modern history of the state of Israel since the
late
1880's, the importance and significance of the city of Jerusalem,
when the nations of the world will be judged and why, an
explanation
that the current peace process is a United Nations based and
mandated
peace and finally how the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:15-28 of the two
houses of Israel becoming one will be fulfilled in the end of
days
PRIOR to the second coming of the Messiah.
The first part of the book deals with issues which
people who are studying the Hebraic/Jewish roots of Christianity
are
seeking to understand doctrinally and the last part of the book
deals
which the IMPORTANCE of UNDERSTANDING the role of embracing our
Hebraic/Jewish roots in Messiah to understand and discern
end-time
prophetic events in the land of Israel BEFORE the coming of the
Messiah when He sets his feet down on the mount of Olives in
Zechariah 14:4.
The chapter titles of "Restoring the Two Houses of
Israel" are as follows:
Chapter 1 --- Restoring the Two
Houses of Israel
Chapter 2 --- Who is the Church
and Who is Israel?
Chapter 3 --- G-d's Power Twins:
Torah and Grace
Chapter 4 --- The Sabbath: Our
Rest is in Messiah
Chapter 5 --- The 7,000 Year-Plan
of G-d
Chapter 6 --- Yeshua: Our Jewish
Messiah
Chapter 7 --- Is the Jewish
Messiah G-d?
Chapter 8 --- Israel: The Fig Tree
Blossoms
Chapter 9 --- The United
Nations-Israel-Arab peace process
Chapter 10 - Jerusalem: The City
of the Great King
Chapter 11 - The Judgment of the
Nations
Chapter 12 - Ephraim and Judah
Become One House
Already, I had a Messianic Jewish rabbi
who was at the
conference read the book and order copies for his congregation. I
also had a lady at the conference who bought the book and told a
friend and her friend called me two days ago and wanted to order
10 copies
without reading the book she was so excited from the testimony of
her
friend who had purchased the book in Orlando! I have had several
ministries on THIS newsgroup, order copies to sell through their
ministry. It is incredible to me that the hand of God is on this
book
and has touched so many people when they have read this book and
it
is only a couple of weeks old!
The normal cost of
this book is $25 postage paid. Because I
believe this book will be such a blessing to our members and
because
I believe that the information in this book is so crucial to
understanding the Hebraic/Jewish roots of our faith in Messiah
and
having an understanding of the prophetic significance of the
current
Middle East peace process and because I want to express my
sincere
apologies for not having newsgroup very regularly the last couple
