June 29, 2012—SnyderTalk Editorial: Yahweh Declares Himself to the World

The primary purpose of the Exodus was to tell the world who God is by Name.  It was no coincidence that He chose Egypt as the country from which to deliver His people.  At that time, Egypt was the lone superpower; pharaoh was the most powerful person in the world; and Egypt’s many gods were recognized throughout the known world.  Yahweh wanted to establish a written record about Him and His sovereignty.  During the Exodus, He was going to make it clear that nations, leaders of nations, so-called “gods,” viruses, bacteria, insects, and even the forces of nature are subservient to Him.  Jewish people call that written record the Torah and Christians refer to it as the Pentateuch, or the five books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

The Exodus also illustrates Yahweh’s salvation.  By delivering His people from bondage in Egypt, Yahweh demonstrated His power to save under the most adverse conditions imaginable.  Literally, He can reach down and pluck His people out of danger and then inflict punishment on His enemies with laser-guided precision.  Nothing is impossible for Him.

The Exodus Begins

As the book of Genesis comes to an end, the Children of Israel are moving to Egypt because of a famine in the Promised Land.  Joseph had been brought to Egypt as a slave, and he eventually became viceroy or prime minister, a position that was second only to Pharaoh.  In that capacity, he was able to provide for the Children of Israel, and they were treated well and prospered while Joseph was alive.

According to Rabbi Phillip Sigal, the pharaoh in Egypt at the time of Joseph’s arrival was probably from the Hyksos line, and many Hyksos were Semites—as were the Children of Israel.  Sigal says,

“It is conceivable that the pharaoh of Joseph’s period welcomed the Hebrews to his kingdom because he was one of the Hyksos and a Semite like themselves.  When the Hyksos were overthrown, the new Egyptian monarch, regarding the Hebrews as consorts of the Hyksos, and therefore enemies, proceeded to enslave them.”[i]

This is an excerpt from His Name is Yahweh.  It explains why the Name of God, Yahweh, is so important.  It’s a book that you need to read and share.  It’s available in eBook format and in paperback.

Ezekiel 5: 1-4

“As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword; take and use it as a barber’s razor on your head and beard. Then take scales for weighing and divide the hair.  One third you shall burn in the fire at the center of the city, when the days of the siege are completed. Then you shall take one third and strike it with the sword all around the city, and one third you shall scatter to the wind; and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.  Take also a few in number from them and bind them in the edges of your robes.  Take again some of them and throw them into the fire and burn them in the fire; from it a fire will spread to all the house of Israel.”

  • God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This [Yahweh] is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” (Exodus 3: 15)
  • “Therefore behold, I am going to make them know—this time I will make them know My power and My might; and they shall know that My name is Yahweh.” (Jeremiah 16: 21)
  • “Behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land.  In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, ‘Yahweh our righteousness.’” (Jeremiah 23: 5-6)

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now.  There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.

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.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.
