YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE – How Israel, the Jews and the Christian Church will come together in the Last Days Author: Don Finto Publisher: Regal ISBN: 0-8307-2653-5 Available at: Caleb Company Books
Overview: Like Ruth in the Old Testament, every Gentile believer has come out of the land of famine and into the spiritual realm of abundance through the Kinsman Redeemer. But, unlike Ruth, we have turned our backs on the relatives of the Messiah. We need to confess personally and repent on behalf of the Church for centuries of persecution of the Jewish people, and take every opportunity to bless and not curse them. Once again, Israel and her people are center stage at a crucial moment in world history, and this book shows why the Church must effect reconciliation and how Israel, the Jewish people and the Christian Church will come together in the last days.

What is right and wrong about the Messianic Jewish movement? Where do the Arab nations fit into God’s plan? How does all this affect the Church and how can the Church fulfill its role in this end-time scenario?

JESUS IN THE FEASTS OF ISRAEL – Restoring the Spiritual Realities of the Feasts of the Church Author: Richard Booker Publisher: Bridge Publishing ISBN: 0-88270-633-0 Available at: Sounds of the Trumpet
Overview: Christ is revealed in the Old Testament. Through God’s carefully ordered system of ceremonial worship, He revealed Himself most clearly to the nation of Israel. This is especially evident in the seven Feasts of the Lord as detailed in Leviticus 23: Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles. These feasts represent seven phases of spiritual growth. Jesus in the Feasts of Israel presents these festivals as God’s foreshadowings of the New Testament Christ and His various works of grace in the lives of all believers. The author clearly depicts the unity found in God’s unfolding purposes for His people – from the new birth found in Passover and the crucifixion, all the way to entering God’s rest found in the Feast of Tabernacles and the Second Coming.
