The rooster saw a football land in the hen yard, and he walked over to check it out. Being impressed with its size, he called the hens together and pointed out the difference between their eggs and this new "giant egg" that had landed in the hen yard. He said to the hens, "I don't want to be critical, but you need to be aware of what is happening in other hen yards."

Like the hens you too should be aware of “giant steps” that are being made by Messianic Believers who have come out of the stands, and onto the playing field. No longer spectators, but now as players they are throwing touchdowns in the Messianic Super Bowl. The battle between Isaac and Ishmael, for the promises that the Holy One of Israel made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

We are in the final quarter, and the forces of Ishmael led by HaSatan appear to be well in the lead. They claim to be numbered as the stars of heaven, the sand by the seashore, and the dust of the earth. Their contention is that 1.2 billion Muslims are the seed of Abraham through Ishmael, and that they overwhelm Isaac’s claim by some 99.98%. And, the fact is that Isaac can only offer 14 million Jews, plus a modest number of Messianic Believers, as evidence that the promise went to them.

The Promised Land, from the river of Egypt, to the Great river Euprahtes, and from the Arabah to the Sea is presently possessed by Ishmael. With exception of a small strip on the coast which is currently held by Isaac, but is slowing being whittled away. Of the 240 million people who today occupy this land, more than 230 million are Muslims. Why do we find ourselves in this position?

Because our enemy has shown more dedication, provided more people, and committed more resources to winning the war. Therefore, to turn the tide in this battle, we must more than match their dedication and resources. But most of all, we need greater numbers, more Israelites, perhaps as many as 600 hundred million. Interestingly, this number would be a tithe of the earth’s present population, and there are some two billion Christians sitting in the stands—acting as onlookers to the events that are unfolding concerning Israel. Our challenge is, how do we get sufficient numbers out of this group of spectators to help us win the numbers battle.

These people are behaving as spectators in that they are waiting either for the rapture, an antichrist, or for our God to accomplish everything needed to fulfill His endtime prophecies. To meet our challenge, we must convince them that they are players and not spectators. To accomplish this, we need to help them understand their true heritage and purpose. They need to realize that they are part of the people of Israel, and that their earthly purpose is to help restore the Kingdom to Israel. They are, for the most part Ephraim, the other house of Israel, those who were scattered in every nation, tribe, tongue, and kindred. But now, at the end of the age, Ephraim is being restored. They will, as the redeemed of Yahveh, not only return to their land, but they will return as mighty men (Zechariah 10:7).

How do we convince these lost sheep? By following the example of Messianic Believers who are now on the playing field, and are daily adding to the numbers of those who understand their heritage and purpose. They are accomplishing this feat by accepting the challenge to distribute twenty-five copies of the book Ephraim and Judah, Israel Revealed, to the lost sheep. Further, they are encouraging those to whom they give books to duplicate their efforts.

We have some 7,277 copies left, of Ephraim and Judah, Israel Revealed, sitting in the warehouse. Unfortunately, like spectators in the stand these books are not going to have any impact on the outcome of the battle, until we can get them out onto the playing field!

We need you to help us get them onto the playing field. Two hundred and ninety-one people, giving out 25 copies each will get the job done. We ask you to be one of them. Your cost is time and $2.00 per book. Fifty dollars for twenty-five books.

You cannot help but agree that at this time this is probably one of the best, and most effective investment currently available to further the restoration of the Kingdom to Israel. Especially, if you are praying without ceasing as you distribute these books.

The tents of Judah have come up first. It is time for the tents of the “mighty man of Ephraim” to come up. The question is not where are Ephraim’s tents? The question is, “Where is Ephraim? He is scattered among the nations and lost to his identity, and it is our responsibility as Messianic Believers to find him and restore him.
