SnyderTalk Editorial: Yahweh Did Prohibit One Group From Using His Name—As Punishment: an Excerpt from His Name is Yahweh

Jeremiah 12: 14-17

Thus says Yahweh concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, “Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them. And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people. But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it,” declares Yahweh.

Jeremiah 22: 8-11

“Many nations will pass by this city; and they will say to one another, ‘Why has Yahweh done thus to this great city?’ Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh their God and bowed down to other gods and served them.’ Do not weep for the dead or mourn for him, but weep continually for the one who goes away; for he will never return or see his native land. For thus says Yahweh in regard to Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in the place of Josiah his father, who went forth from this place, ‘He will never return there; but in the place where they led him captive, there he will die and not see this land again.’”

Falsely Accused

Falsely Accused is a true story about a young woman who was accused of committing a double homicide. It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided. They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make. As they say, forewarned is forearmed.

If you don’t have a Kindle device, you can download Falsely Accused into your computer. The title of the book has a hyperlink. Click on it, and it will take you to the Amazon webpage. In the upper right corner of the webpage, you’ll see a box containing the words “Buy now with 1-click.” Below that you’ll see Available on your PC. You’ll need this for downloading eBooks from Kindle, and the software is free. Next, directly under “Buy now with 1-click,” you see “Deliver to.” The drop down will enable you to select “Kindle for PC” and download it directly into your computer. You can also download it for use with iPads, Sony Reader, and a host of other tablet devices. You’ll need to have an account with Amazon. If you don’t have one already, I recommend it strongly.

Yahweh Did Prohibit One Group From Using His Name—As Punishment: an Excerpt from His Name is Yahweh

Although Yahweh commanded us to declare His Name to the world, there was a time when He forbade the use of His Name by the Jewish refugees in Egypt following the Babylonian captivity in 597 B.C. But He intended this prohibition as punishment.

When Nebuchadnezzar conquered Judah, he allowed some of the poorer Jewish people to remain in the Promised Land rather than deporting them to Babylon. (Jeremiah 39: 10) He also appointed Gedaliah as governor, (Jeremiah 40: 7) but in a short while Baalis, the Ammonite king, sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to murder Gedaliah. (Jeremiah 40: 14) Fearful that Nebuchadnezzar would retaliate by annihilating the Jewish people remaining in the land, they thought about fleeing to Egypt, but instead they asked Jeremiah to intercede with Yahweh on their behalf. (Jeremiah 42: 2)

Jeremiah did as they asked, and this is what Yahweh said:

“If you will only stay in this country, I shall build you and not overthrow you; I shall plant you and not uproot you, for I am sorry about the disaster I have inflicted on you. Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you fear now; do not fear him, Yahweh declares, for I am with you to save you and rescue you from his clutches. I shall take pity on you, so that he pities you and lets you return to your native soil.

But if you say: ‘We will not stay in this country;’ if you disobey the voice of Yahweh your God, and say: ‘No, Egypt is where we shall go, where we shall not see war or hear the trumpet-call or go short of food; that is where we want to live;’ in that case, remnant of Judah, listen to Yahweh’s word: Yahweh Sabaoth, God of Israel, says this: If you are determined to go to Egypt, and if you do go and settle there, the sword you fear will overtake you there in Egypt, and there you will die.” (Jeremiah 42: 10-16)

When Jeremiah gave them Yahweh’s reply, they accused him of lying (Jeremiah 43: 2) and set off for Egypt, taking Jeremiah with them. In Egypt, they worshiped false gods thinking that they were prosperous in Israel while they venerated idols. (Jeremiah 44: 16-19) They did not realize that Yahweh inflicted the Babylonian disaster on them for worshipping false gods, among other things.

Jeremiah confronted them in Egypt and warned them to abandon this vile practice, but they were stubborn and refused to listen. Thus, Yahweh said,

“I swear by My great Name…that My Name will no longer be uttered by any man of Judah throughout Egypt; no one will say: ‘As Lord Yahweh lives.’” (Jeremiah 44: 26)

As you can see, Yahweh prohibited a specific group of people from using His Name for a particular time. He was punishing them for disobeying Him, for worshipping false gods, and for profaning His Name. Eventually, most of the Jewish people who fled to Egypt for safety were killed in Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar’s army, just as Yahweh foretold. It should be clear that God will not tolerate our willful disobedience or our profaning His great Name—Yahweh.

With this information as background, consider this perspective on the prohibition against writing or saying Yahweh. The writers of the “Talmudic and Rabbinic sources” referred to by Rabbi Scherman institutionalized a punishment Yahweh imposed on an idolatrous group of Jewish people who were violating His Word and His specific commands delivered to them by His prophet Jeremiah. Read Yahweh’s Word and search for even a hint that He intended for them to do that. If you do, you will not find it because it does not exist. Whether or not their motives were pure, they dishonored, distorted, and defiled God’s Word by incorporating as an integral part of their tradition a punishment from Yahweh intended for a specific group for a particular time. What’s more, virtually every modern English Bible translation on the market today has repeated this dreadful error.

Joel 3: 17-21

Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God, dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will pass through it no more. And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah will flow with water; and a spring will go out from the house of Yahweh to water the valley of Shittim. Egypt will become a waste, and Edom will become a desolate wilderness, because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood. But Judah will be inhabited forever and Jerusalem for all generations. And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged, for Yahweh dwells in Zion.
