Shalom Friends:
My present feast book is virtually out of print. We have less than a hundred copies left in inventory. Anticipating this event, I have been working on an updated version for quite awhile. I am happy to report that Israel’s Feasts and their Fullness: Expanded Edition, will be ready for the printer by early December. Our hope is to have it printed and in distribution early in the coming year.

Some time ago we asked for your opinion on the Rapture teaching, then we reported the results of that Poll in the Spring. (See Rapture Poll Results).

My studies in this area led to new and more in-depth prophetic insights concerning the feasts and our call as part of the people of Israel. I am excited to say that these insights are now included in this updated version of the feast book.

The book also has a wonderful new cover design that emphasizes the coming harvest with its green growing grain on the front, and, that the time is at hand to reap is indicated by the ripe golden grain on the back.

The back copy reads:

This feast book is like no other. It is truly unique in its perspectives. Acclaimed as the “best feast book ever,” in this new Expanded Edition, Israel’s Feasts and their Fullness offers even more prophetic insights!

In her delightful, penetrating style, Batya examines the feasts and shows how they relate to Israel’s reunion, redemption, and full restoration. She explains why Believers now feel led to celebrate the feasts, and how their celebrations relate to the latter days. Her astute observations bring encouragement, clarity and fresh insights at every turn.

Batya examines traditions that, oppose Scripture, clarifies those that do, and outlines suggested feast guidelines. Most important, she encourages us to celebrate our Messiah with joy and freedom in the power of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) – yet with respect for the eternal truths of the Torah (the Law) as well as the honorable teachings of Judaism.

This inspiring book explains:

• How to have Erev Shabbat and Havdalah celebrations.
• The Four Types of Passover found in Scripture, Unleavened Bread, First of First Fruits, and how to count the Omer.
• The giving of the Law and the Spirit on Shavuot (Pentecost).
• The Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) and Yom Kippur (reveals the prophetic significance of blowing twin silver trumpets and of sounding the shofar).
• The issue of Christmas and the timing of Yeshua’s birth.
• The Feast of Tabernacles and The Eighth Day.
• The Apostle Paul, the Feasts, and the Law.

Simple Celebration Instruction Guides for the Sabbath, Havdalah, and Passover, plus helpful charts and graphics are included in this timely book. It offers Scriptural references and clear explanations for every topic and it shows the need for grace and mercy to be shown to both the houses of Israel – Judah and Ephraim, Jew and non-Jew. Those who long for Israel’s restoration are encouraged to dance and sing and celebrate the presence of the Holy One! It is an exciting book – one that offers hope for our future. It is a “must have” for your library shelf – a book you will refer to again and again for years to come.

Paper, 384 pages, ISBN 1-886987-29-7

As I said, our “hope” is to have Israel’s Feasts and Their Fullness: Expanded Edition, ready soon, but, as Angus outlines in his following comments, we need help if our hope is to become a reality.

Blessings to you and yours,
Batya

Now we come to the primary reason for our letters. Batya’s job as an author is to write the book, and to encourage each of us to read it, to have copies in our libraries, and to pass out as many copies as possible. However, to fully realize the potential this book can provide, we must effectively use it to reach out to millions of lost sheep. We need to tell them the good news that it is time for the redeemed of Israel, not only to realize that they are citizens of its Commonwealth, but to celebrate Israel’s appointed feasts, and to prepare for their return to Zion (Isa 35:10). To accomplish this goal, which is so dear to our Father’s heart, we need adequate supplies of this key book available and readily accessible to as many people as possible.

Imagine, if Key of David Publishing was able to send a press release and copy of the book to the various types of media that promote books. Imagine ads placed in appropriate papers, magazines, on TV and radio stations. Imagine 6,500 Christian book stores being aware of the book, by giving copies of it to as many stores as possible, and by sending flyers to all the stores, and advertising in appropriate trade publications. Imagine through mailings, advertisement in appropriate media, and personal contacts, having as many pastors of the 360,000 Churches in America as possible, made aware of this book. Imagine reaching out and meeting the needs of lost sheep in other countries in their various languages.

It takes a lot of imagination on my part to envision even a small part of the above goals being accomplished. My thoughts after reviewing the financial requirements to get the job done, was that it would be great if we had a Bill Gates or Warren Buffet who felt led to fund this harvest, which either could easily do. However, I felt our Father’s answer to my cry for help was, “I have chosen the forerunners of Messianic Israel to reach My scattered sheep. They may not individually have the wealth of a Gates or Buffet, but they have the numbers and dedication, and they will provide the funding and personnel resources required to accomplish these tasks.”

Please pray about whether you are one of those chosen to help provide the needed resources to accomplish this mission. If your answer is “yes,” then please make a commitment to Key of David Publishing. Together we can go through the gates, clear the way for the people; build up the highway, remove the stones, and lift up a standard over those the God of Israel is redeeming (Isa 62:10-12). Working together we can make imagination a realty.
