In the early Seventies, Angus, and his wife Batya, were involved with Sid and a small group of Messianic Jews in the founding of Beth Messiah, in the Washington D.C., area - it being one of the first Messianic Jewish Congregations. They also worked with Sid in his founding of the Messianic Vision, a ministry to all who were interested in the phenomenon of Jews accepting Jesus as their Messiah, yet retaining their Jewish traditions.
In 1977, to further the purposes of the Messianic Vision, Batya established the House of David as a bookstore/catalogue company. The "business" was primarily funded by her husband, Angus. The store needed someone to fund it because it specialized in materials and books about Israel, the Jewish people, Christians, and how they all relate. At the time, interest in the subject matter was marginal at best. Some even reacted to it with hostility.
Because Batya felt a responsibility to know what the materials they were offering said, she read countless books about the subject of Israel. Much to her dismay, she discovered a wide variance of opinion about Israel's true role in the world, its future, and most important, about Israel's identity. She felt, to say the least, stymied.
Batya and Angus had endless discussions about "Israel." Then, being in spiritual anguish over the matter, Batya began to cry out in earnest to her Heavenly Father, asking Him for His answer to her ever-present question, "Who Is Israel?"

Necessarily incomplete!,

This review is from: Restoring Israel's Kingdom (Paperback)
Whereas Batya's book "Who is Israel?" dealt with the subject and how it intimately related to the Believer, Angus's book is a call to action. The problem is, he is working with unfulfilled prophecies. Consequently, when he wrote the book, he was working with the best available understanding that he had. He may be right on target, or he may be wrong in some respects. As we move ever closer to the last eventful 7 years of this present world age, we will see more clearly what is to happen. However, at least through Angus and Batya's efforts, we can be better watchmen and less likely to be caught by surprise. More prepared in other words. I will admit, it was somewhat annoying that Angus could not offer a more clear "battle plan", but that is for Abba to reveal to each individual Believer!!
