Product Description
Your destiny in Messiah Yeshua is forever linked to Israel. He preached the gospel of its kingdom. His disciples spoke of the restoration of David’s fallen house – a restoration that includes all who sojourn with Israel. Only when we understand about “both the houses of Israel” (Isaiah 8:14) can we truly understand our Redeemer’s mission. Only when we know Him can we know who Israel really is; for He is salvation – Yeshua – the epitome of all that it means to be “Israel.” When we see Him as the Lion of Judah, His Israelite Kingdom also comes into vivid focus. The liberating truths found in this book are breathing new life into Israel’s two houses. Multiplied thousands are seeing the truth about Judah and Ephraim in Scripture, as well as Israel’s coming reunion and full restoration. They are being inspired as they catch glimpses of her coming glory. Written in a style that reduces deep theology to simple faith, this solidly scriptural book clarifies the truth about Israel and the Church. It explains the Romans 11 mystery of the “fullness of the Gentiles,” and it reveals the Father’s ultimate plan for all Israel. If you feel drawn to your Hebraic roots, have an unexplainable love for the Jewish people, feel an urge to celebrate the feasts of Israel, or just want to understand “Israel,” this book is for you. The truths it unveils will enrich your relationship with the Holy One of Israel. The revelations it unfolds are leading both Jewish and non-Jewish Believers, Judah and Ephraim, back to the ancient faith of their forefathers. Engaging and entertaining, this life-changing book brings hope and healing. Be refreshed and renewed as you read its revolutionary pages; enjoy them as they uncover your true destiny in Messiah Yeshua.

About the Author
Biography Batya and her husband, Angus, were early pioneers in the Messianic movement. Decades ago they began publishing the first Messianic Materials Catalogue, created to serve a fledgling new interest in Israel and the Jewish people. Batya read countless books about these subjects so she could write informed descriptions of them for the catalogue, and discovered the great diversity of opinions about Israel’s role in the world and about Israel’s identity. Hungering to truly understand the truth of the matter, she began to cry out in desperation to her Heavenly Father, asking Him to show her His truth. As promised, He answered: “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3). The Holy One began to open up the Scriptures to her, and His answers to her led to the book you now hold in your hands. Batya’s challenging books represent decades of study, discussion, and prayer on the crucial issues of identifying Israel, celebrating her feasts, and honoring Torah. Many readers have given testimony about being transformed by her writings. Lives continue to be changed as they see the truth about Judah and Ephraim. It is a truth that is helping to restore a brotherhood broken apart long ago. Her emphasis on the need to show mercy and grace to both houses is helping to heal the wounds that began when Israel was divided into two Kingdoms. Her book, Israel’s Feasts and Their Fullness, also represents many years of meticulous research, study, and prayerful writing. It is a book that is helping Believers to be liberated into glorious celebrations of the feasts. Several people have said of it, “This is the best book about the feasts that I have ever read.” Her book, Mama’s Torah: The Role of Women, has likewise received high acclaim from both men and women. She is now busy writing two exciting new titles. Batya is married to her best friend, Col. Angus Wootten (Ret.), author of the visionary books Restoring Israel’s Kingdom and Take Two Tablets Daily. Together they have ten children who have blessed them with many beloved offspring. Working as a team, Angus and Batya moved forward from the early days of the House of David Catalogue and began publishing a Newsletter, the House of David Herald. They also began the informative Messianic Israel web site: messianicisrael.com. This led to the founding of the Messianic Israel Alliance—a rapidly growing alliance of fellowships that agree with “The Hope of Messianic Israel,” their statement of faith. Together Angus and Batya continue to publish books that serve the growing army of Believers who are discovering the truth about their Hebraic heritage. They work together to help raise up new leaders and to draw out their giftings. For this assignment they have been uniquely prepared by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We know you will be blessed as you read their works. A note from Batya: The Word tells us to “let the one who is taught share all good things with him who teaches” (Galatians 6:6). If through this book a good thing has been accomplished in your life, please write and share your good news with me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spirit has to have a physical body...we are Spirit AND genes..., March 31, 2008

By	MD (FL USA) - See all my reviews

To keep things fair with an opposing view to the previous and lengthy review against this book:
1. Please, not another superficial comparison to British Israelism. Whether it resembles it or not, the objective reader will realize that the Kingdom of Israel was split and nowhere does Scripture show that all of the North Kingdom/all the tribes returned...though yes, there was intermixing, as evidenced by the Scriptures mentioned and as Batya has always pointed out. The issue is that not all returned.
2. Indeed, the term Jew was for Ju-dah-ites...especially as the Southern Kingdom of Judah/Y'hudah was so since after the division and captivity to Babylon. Their return was relatively "soon"...unlike the return from the Assyrian one. The abundance of Scriptures in Hosea, Amos, Isaiah and Jeremiah do speak of many aspects of their captivities and characteristics...which the reviewer does not put in the mix.
3. Two Houses dismissed as "parallelism"? Hosea Chapter one alome is clear that there were two distinct houses that G-d spoke to through that prophet alone: one that was being judged...and one that He would still have mercy towards...until she was said to also have gone astray and got her judgement too...albeit altogether different and later.
4. Does Hebrews 8:8 not connect with Jeremiah 31:31? And does 1 Peter 2:10, a Scripture that all christians would agree applies to them, not connect with Hosea Chapter 1? If so, then it is what it is...whether it resembles a misguided theory from the past called British Israelism or not. Forget the similarities...and judge this on its own merit and Scriptures.
5. If "all Israel" is back...where is the Father's promise of descendants as the stars of the heaven and the sands of the sea? Surely the approximately 5-6 M Jews in Israel and the approximately 13-15 M Jews worldwide does not that promise fulfill. Even comparing the descendants of the 12 sons of Jacob to the 12 prince/sons of Ishmael (~ 800 M Worldwide) shows there must be a "whole bunch" of Israelites somewhere, that do not yet realize they are Israel (even if you add in the many Jews tragically murdered through the ages of their persecutions)...
6. Indeed, one must be born again of the Spirit to see the Kingdom (John 3) and by faith is everyone on the olive tree, lest they be removed (Romans 11)...but realize: the spiritual children have to also have a body...or else we'd be just "ghosts" flying around like disembodied spirits. HaShem spoke to Abraham and spoke of humans...just like him, who also were to be spiritual beings. You have to have both.
7. Batya did not "want this to be so"...she just let the Lord show her and He backed it up with Scripture. :-)

Having said all that to respond to the charges, we can now just say: this book rests on Scripture that speaks for itself if we are unbiased and have no agenda either way except God's. The Scripture fits and solves all other "challenges". The unbiased that allow His Spirit to draw them and spiritually discern this topic will see as many, many others have. Those that see and discern and have had Him show them...are beyond being "convinced" against this anymore that they could be convinced that The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is not a real One.

To those seeking to understand what Israel is really all about, this book is sure to be an eye and spirit opener and a major, major blessing. :-)

Read it for yourself and decide.
Shalom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Redeemed Israel - Reunited and Restored, October 20, 2008

By	L. Hecker (Littleton) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent book! It was very informative and really helped me "connect the dots." I found myself say "WOW", "whao" and "unbelievable" through-out the entire book. It's an easy read but it will change the way you think about Israel and how you fit into the fulfillment of end time prophecy. Prepared to be blown away!
