Author Interview
What was the most challenging part of the writing process for you and why?
I enjoy writing… the first time. It is fun and easy to type out thoughts on a page. What is not fun, for me, is to then go back and rewrite. I don’t like doing anything twice, and certainly not over and over again.
I learned the tough lesson in high school and college that it may be nearly impossible to write well the very first time. Now, I believe with the help of the Lord that this book practically wrote itself by the time I went to do it. The first draft only took two weeks. Revising, editing and publishing took another month or so. This was an improvement over the first book that I wrote, Lifted Up, My Whole Hearted Testimony. That work took several months to revise. It was hard for me to cut pieces out, but it was necessary to create a story that flowed and stayed focused on the main topic instead of going off on bunny trails.
What did your research process look like for this book?
When the Lord began speaking to me about Israel and Manasseh, I did not have a paradigm for it. He opened up the topic to me over a period of many years. At first, I had no idea that I would someday write a book about it. Several years ago, when I had an understanding of the partial picture, I created a YouTube series of 7 videos about the subject. Eventually, when I would begin to write the book, I used those notes to help to create the outline.
The Lord seemed to give me pieces of the puzzle a little at a time. I really did not have a sense for the picture that was emerging until about a year before I wrote the book, and then it took another year before He gave me the last piece. With each piece of the puzzle that I was given, I would leverage the internet to look for what others were saying about the particular topic and what other articles and books had been written about it. I was intrigued to find so many early writings (pre-1900’s) about this topic but then it was like there was a void. Honestly, it seemed like there had been a concerted effort to discredit the conclusions that the Lord had helped me to come to aligned with Scripture. God’s story that emerged does not line up with much of present-day typical Christianity. This is why I thought it so important to include so much scripture in the finished work. I believe that it will be God’s Word itself, not mine, that will convince readers of the truth that The Revelation of Israelcommunicates.
What was something new you learned while writing this book?
I learned that there is an almost unending amount of evidence for America as the fulfillment of the promises God made to Jacob’s offspring, Joseph and his son, Manasseh. It blew me away and there was not enough room in the book to include more than a sampling of it. God is so good!
Did you have to step out of your comfort zone to write this book? If so, how?
The Lord has been taking me on a journey for some time to come out of performance and fear of men so that I could be fully who He made me to be. I used to have the work-Rachel and the Jesus-Rachel. In my professional life, I was careful not to talk about God too much or give Him too much glory around the water cooler. It took some time, but I can now say that I am just me – His. So to answer your question, this book would have been on another planet for me a few years ago, but not today. I feel like I was able to be vulnerable in sharing some of my own story through the personal prophetic words the Lord has given me without worry of the repercussions that may come. I trust the Lord to be my protector and provider.
What message do you hope readers take away from your book?
I would hope that readers would grasp the way that our God leaves nothing to chance. He has a plan for their lives and chose for them to live at this time, just before Jesus’ return. If we will seek Him and His ways in these last days, He promises to make a way for us through the difficult years ahead. We even have an invitation to be a part of the 1000 year reign of our Savior. The choice is ours to make!

Rachel Baxter has a professional background in engineering, with a Bachelor’s of Science in Industrial Engineering, and an MBA. Rachel currently works in the field of business process consulting with over 20 years of experience.
Rachel grew up in the Lutheran Church where she was baptized, confirmed, and married. She was born again and spirit-filled in 2014 when she received inner healing through a ministry called One Whole Heart in Omaha, Nebraska. She now serves as an elder and volunteer for this ministry. Rachel also serves her local church in various capacities.
Rachel is married to Garrick, and they have 4 children from elementary to high school age. Rachel led a Christian school and homeschool coop called Valor for 5 years. This was a missional spirit-led school where every day began with worship, and the children were taught to hear and follow the voice of the Lord, as Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice and follow me!” Rachel continues to have a heart for Kingdom youth education.
When she was baptized in the Holy Spirit, Rachel began to have dreams and visions from the Lord. He began to speak with her about the days that are ahead, the time before Jesus returns, so that she could write them down and release the prophetic words for those who were willing to hear. Rachel has received several angelic visitations. (A primary purpose of an angel is to be a messenger.) An angel of the Lord came to Rachel to tell her that she was, “Called to see that which was coming upon the Earth and to tell others what is coming.” This book is an act of obedience to that call.
More from Rachel
It’s been a year since I co-labored with the Lord to write this work. I have used it myself on a weekly basis as a reference. There is so much insight here that is beyond me. The Lord, in His glorious wisdom, is able to make the complicated and mysterious – clear and beautiful when He takes His truth and allows us to absorb it into our bones. This is the essence of a revelation! The Revelation of Israel is God’s story of His plans written before time began. It starts with a people under Father Abraham who were meant to know their God. Those people fell short in every way and were scattered across the earth. We know that Jesus came to redeem God’s people to Himself through His atoning sacrifice – but the story of God does not end there. God’s story has continued the last 2,000 years and is about to be fulfilled in the last seven years of tribulation on the earth that culminates with the return of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah at the last trump!
