In about 740 B.C., Yahweh appeared to Isaiah and commissioned him to deliver His message to the Children of Israel. Isaiah’s description of Yahweh is very interesting. You can find it in Isaiah 6: 1-4. When he saw Yahweh, all Isaiah could say was this: “Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh Sabaoth.” (Isaiah 6: 5) The magnificence of Yahweh’s appearance and His absolute purity were so striking that Isaiah was forced to see himself correctly. He was compelled to admit that he was a sinner and that he lived among sinners. That is exactly what each one of us must understand. Only then can we begin to appreciate who Yahweh is. He is the Holy One of Israel, the One and only God, and He will accept no blemishes.

“For here we are not afraid to follow the truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it.” (Thomas Jefferson)

Video: The Aaronic Blessing—This is a beautiful video rendition of The Aaronic Blessing (Numbers 6: 24-26) in Hebrew and English, but notice that the title Adonai is used instead of the Name Yahweh. That is in keeping with a Jewish tradition that dates back to the mid-second century B.C., but you can be certain about this fact. Yahweh’s Name is essential to The Aaronic Blessing and should be there.

Scripture:

Today I’ll show where Yahweh’s Name belongs in James 3:

James 3

Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.
For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.
Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.
Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.
So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!
And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.
For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.
But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.
With it we bless Yahweh our Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;
from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.
Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?
Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Yahweh Appears to Isaiah

In about 740 B.C., Yahweh appeared to Isaiah and commissioned him to deliver His message to the Children of Israel. Isaiah’s description of Yahweh is very interesting. You can find it in Isaiah 6: 1-4. When he saw Yahweh, all Isaiah could say was this: “Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh Sabaoth.” (Isaiah 6: 5)

The magnificence of Yahweh’s appearance and His absolute purity were so striking that Isaiah was forced to see himself correctly. He was compelled to admit that he was a sinner and that he lived among sinners. That is exactly what each one of us must understand. Only then can we begin to appreciate who Yahweh is. He is the Holy One of Israel, the One and only God, and He will accept no blemishes.

Consider the Evidence

I said that Yahweh has a human form and that He has appeared to people throughout history. The Bible provides abundant evidence to support that assertion. I also said that Yahweh intervenes in history to perform His Word and to fulfill His promises. Here again, there are many examples in the Bible of Yahweh doing these things in Person. I have discussed a few of them.

If you believe Yahweh’s Word, by now you’re convinced. Go to the Bible and see for yourself if I have misled you in any way. If you don’t believe the Word of Yahweh or if you aren’t sure it’s true, then you may not be convinced, but at least I hope I have roused your curiosity.

I also said the human form of Yahweh is the Messiah. The Bible provides compelling proofs to substantiate it. I’ll discuss them later.

There is some overlap between the material I’ve just presented and the material I’m about to present because Yahweh appeared in human form to make most of His covenants and promises. Redundancy is a common practice used by engineers for our protection. For instance, airplanes are equipped with redundant systems so that if one fails the pilot can still land the plane safely. Yahweh used this practice in the Scriptures for our protection, so I am following a precedent established by Yahweh Himself. Because of its unparalleled importance, Yahweh’s role in the redemption and salvation of His people is the most redundant message in the Scriptures.

My Picture of the Same Spot

Commonsense: Get ready because you’re going to see some angry people in the US when we finally have to bite the budget bullet. Welfare dependence and living off the largess of others are virtually identical. Both of them are like heroin addictions, and you can’t break a heroin habit painlessly. When the day comes that the United States has to face its fiscal crisis, and that day WILL come, people will be marching in the streets, throwing rocks, and some will commit terrorist acts because the federal government on which they have been taught to depend for their sustenance can’t continue to lavish them with a living standard they don’t deserve.

Take a look at the Page in the column on the right titled “The Importance of Saving”. In it, I lay out sound fiscal management principles for creating financial independence. If your financial house is not in order, you need to straighten it up soon—before you have to—because you’re between a rock and a hard place when others dictate terms.

As a nation, we have some difficult decisions to make. In due course, these facts will become apparent to everyone, including our politicians who seem to be willing to fork over our hard-earned money for just about everything:

The government can’t and shouldn’t pay for things that people should pay for themselves.
No able bodied man or woman has an inalienable right to live off others.
If able bodied men and women aren’t willing to work for the things they want, they don’t deserve them.
If we eliminate the payments we make to people who should be paying their own way, we will have plenty of money to take care of the truly needy.
People who are addicted to living beyond their means have difficulty adjusting to reality, but they can and will adjust if they KNOW they must.
The United States can’t continue to be “the world’s police force”. We should be willing to pay for our own defense, but other nations have to pay for their defense too. I’m not naïve. There are times when defending other nations is the right thing to do, but we’ve gone too far down that path—way too far.
Any nation, including the United States, that can’t or won’t pay its own bills has no business borrowing money and giving it to other countries that live beyond their means. That may sound tightfisted, but it’s right.

November 2010 is just around the corner. Like Howard Beale in the movie Network, it’s time for us to send a clear message to political office seekers—“We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take this anymore”. If they fail to heed our warning, they shouldn’t be elected, and that includes incumbents who are guilty of putting us in this precarious situation.
