I had my answer, and even though I perhaps interpreted it
in an imperfect way, the words kept me on track, knowing that
somehow my destiny revolved round Israel.
I began to pray for the Jewish people and all the other
tribes in earnest from this time.
My next encounter with Yahweh’s heart concerning Israel was a number
of years later.
I was recovering from M.E. in Birmingham, and was at last feeling
some energy returning, enough to begin to take part in the fellowship
group I was staying with.
One day
Yahweh spoke to me about the hunters and the fishers spoken of in Jeremiah 16:16, about being
one of the people who would find His scattered people, the Israelites!
I again felt the heart of Yahweh for His people Israel, in an even
more overwhelming way. I felt the sorrow and anguish of His heart.
I found an answering cry within my heart,
"I am willing to be a hunter, a fisher, I am willing,
help me to find your people Israel!"
I did not fully understand the implications
of my words or know the relevant scriptures at the time.
I did not fully understand these words, and prayed for understanding
and direction. Shortly afterwards I knew I should return to
live in Nottingham where he had initially spoken
to me about Israel.
I began to fellowship with a group of people who loved Israel as
I did, and who prayed regularly for her restoration.
I had also been lent a book about the ten lost Tribes which I
devoured greedily, as it was indeed answering a lot of questions
which were deep within my heart about Israel and who they were.

A couple of years later, I was asked
to be a part of a ministry weekend in Northumberland.
The outcome of this finally made up my mind
about the way I should go in later years.
Yahweh again began to talk to me about the restoration of His
people Israel.
The burden deep in my heart was greater than any I had previously felt.
I began to understand more of His will for us. That we were a privileged people hearing
and understanding the will of the Almighty. That we were in the holy place,
hearing holy things, and that His will for us was that we should live holy lives,
that we should be walking in His Commandments as part of His people in the earth.
That the re-gathering of Israel was His desire, and that we were somehow to be involved
in this process in our generation.
That we should be ambassadors to the lost sheep of Israel, those who were scattered
because of idolatry. To teach them the Commandments and to bring them to Him that
they should be restored.
I felt His love for Israel, His great desire that they should be found again, and brought
back to a living experience of Him. I felt His heartbreak for His lost ones. I remembered the
verses about Him desiring to be a Shepherd again to them, finding them once more and eventually bringing
them back to His land.
Since this incredible experience, my efforts are, at last, put into
an understanding of where the ten Tribes of Israel were scattered,
and indeed where they are now, and into a re-gathering of them.
Those precious ones who have kept hold of Torah and the
Traditions, in order that the world may come to know the Father of all.
This truth is of the utmost importance today, considering the present troubles of the Tribe of Judah,
the Jewish nation, (which of course also
includes members of the other Tribes,
especially Benjamin and Levi). This, I believe, is the Father’s heart for me to follow,
and I am delighted to discover that there are many more who have also
received this same revelation in our day, and calling, to stand with Judah,
and
put our efforts into the re-gathering of the
whole house
of Israel. It has to happen in fulfilment of Ezekiel 37,
and many other scriptures.

Now I understand the feeling I had had on the beach. Yes, I did desire
to be a part of the Father's chosen race, but it was not for me
to become
Jewish, but that, as part of the wider Commonwealth of Israel, I would
stand alongside the Tribe of Judah, the apple of His
eye.
