“For from the rising of the sun even to its setting, My Name will be great among the Gentiles, and in every place incense is going to be offered to My Name, and a grain offering that is pure; for My Name will be great among the Gentiles,” says Yahweh Sabaoth. (Malachi 1: 11)

Israel Today—Obama Trying to Shame Israel?:
While it flew somewhat under the radar of the mainstream news cycle, the Obama Administration last week apparently tried to shame Israel into supporting its dangerous Iran nuclear deal by declassifying historic documents regarding the Jewish state’s own nuclear program.
Many saw it as no accident that the Nixon-era State Department documents were made public just as Israel is leading the charge to have Obama’s Iran nuclear agreement defeated in Congress.
The release of the 1,100-page official report, which covers meetings from 1969–1976, would seem to be an effort to draw moral equivalency between Israel and Iran, and between America’s approach to both nations’ respective nuclear programs.
Most notably, a July 19, 1969 memorandum from then-national security adviser Henry Kissinger to President Richard Nixon outlined the proposed approach to Israel, and highlighted disagreement between the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Department of Defense, and State Department on what demands to present the Jewish state.
All involved agreed that Israel must be made to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
“Everyone agreed that, as a minimum, we want Israel to sign the NPT. This is not because signing will make any difference in Israel’s actual nuclear program because Israel could produce warheads clandestinely,” the memo said. “Israel’s signature would, however, give us a publicly feasible issue to raise with the Israeli government — a way of opening the discussion. It would also publicly commit Israel not to acquire nuclear weapons.”

SnyderTalk Comment: The only problem I have with this article is the question mark at the end of the title.
Of course, Obama is trying to shame Israel into bowing to his wishes. He’s that kind of guy. He’s never had to pay the price for his narcissism, but you can rest assured that Yahweh has taken notice. Eventually, he will pay—if not now, in the hereafter.
I’m concerned because we elected Obama twice. He represents us. We deserve blame for Obama’s sinfulness the same as Germans in the 1930s shared blame for Hitler’s horrors.
People who claim to be believers should think long and hard about the consequences of their votes. In 2008, those of us who told the truth about Obama could be safely ignored and ridiculed, but in 2012 ignorance was not an excuse. Those warnings weren’t speculation at that point. Empirical facts from Obama’s first term in office proved that those concerns were spot on.
Obama says he’s a Christian. Well, let’s see. He has stabbed Israel in the back repeatedly. He makes Balaam look like a piker. Obama never heard about an abortion that he didn’t support; he’s sexually immoral; and he has opened our nation’s doors to our worst enemies. Those are irrefutable facts. Even worse, he’s trying to make our country over in his own image.
The Messiah said that you can tell a tree by its fruit. I’m not judging Obama, but I am saying that his fruit is so rotten that it stinks.
Obama says that he would be re-elected if he could run again. He’s probably right. That scares me. How many chances do you think Yahweh is going to give us? I don’t think we’ll get another one. In fact, I fear that we have had one too many chances already.

Dave Dolbee: Congress Weighs in on Linking Benefits to Gun Control—A few weeks ago, the Shooter’s Log reported that the Obama Administration is looking for ways to use the Social Security Administration (SSA) as a backdoor form of gun control. Its plan is to report all individuals who receive SSA benefits via an assigned designated fiduciary recipient. In other words, if you receive SSA benefits and elect to have someone manage your money for you, the Administration wants to equate it to being unfit to possess a firearm. This is similar in nature to the model employed by the Veteran’s Administration, which reports to NICS as “adjudicated as a mental defective” beneficiaries who have been assigned a “fiduciary” to manage their benefits. This action by the VA has already subjected a little over 175,000 beneficiaries to NICS as prohibited persons, done without a hearing, due process or any other judicial investigation or finding whatsoever—no violent crimes, no violent tendencies or dangerous behaviors to themselves or others, just a stroke of the pen to strip them of their Second Amendment rights. Upping the ante, the administration would now target 4.2 million more Americans via the SSA with designated “representative payees.” […] In the meantime, if you have not already registered your concern, your senators and representatives need your support. If they are against the Second Amendment they need to hear you displeasure! Let them know your opinion on the use of the VA and SSA as a wedge to force individuals to choose between benefits and the Second Amendment. You can use the “Write Your Lawmakers” feature at NRAILA.org or call the Congressional Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
SnyderTalk Comment: I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this warning, but it comes from a reliable source. I can say that Obama is attacking our Second Amendment rights, and he has a little more than a year remaining in his second and last term of office. He wants to do something meaningful (to him) to abridge our rights before he leaves office.
So far, Obama has attacked guns, magazines, ammo, and gun parts and accessories. To date, he has been unsuccessful, but he won’t let up. Vigilance is called for. Don’t take this warning lightly.
Susan Warner: The Iran Deal: How Christians Choose Sides—Nowhere are the deep divisions within Christianity more apparent than in the current responses to the Obama-Kerry Iran nuclear deal (officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA). Even before U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s appearance on all five Sunday news talk shows on July 19, in which he elaborated on the administration’s position, Christian groups had already lined up for a war of sorts that would focus Christian attention on the political debate to come. The ink was barely dry on the 150-page final agreement when the Vatican, which represents roughly 70 million American Catholics, released a statement in favor of the Iran deal, pronouncing it an “important step” and calling for a “commitment to make it bear fruit,” basically affirming the Pope’s wish for peace in our time.
Dr. Sima Goel: Only Fools Play Tag with the Iranian-Islamic Dragon—I was born in Iran, but fled when I was 17. Although I love Iranians, I love the freedom and choices offered in the West more, and I want to protect them. The decision to facilitate nuclear production under the Iranian-Islamic government puts us all at risk. The nuclear deal is not good for the Iranian people, the region or the world. It gives the mullahs power to suppress opposition and encourages them to continue to incite global terror. I understand too well the dragon that rules Iran. I have suffered its fire and I have seen how this predator brings down its prey. I know what the Iranian-Islamic government stands for and to what extent it will go to promote its ideology. When they say, “Death to England!” “Death to America!” “Death to Israel!,” they really mean it. This is not a fringe group. By facilitating Iran’s nuclear capacity, we are feeding the dragon. Documents alone do not make for peace when the signatories have a history of showing no faith, nor any tolerance for beliefs other than their own and they morally believe in the legitimate use of deception to achieve their long-term goals. Further, they insist on exporting their ideology to the region and the world at large. It is not “live and let live,” but “I live and you die.” We would not try to pacify a bully by giving him a loaded gun, so why are we permitting and encouraging Iran’s nuclear capability? The writer is the author of Fleeing the Hijab: A Jewish Woman’s Escape from Iran.
David A. Harris: Ten New Reasons to Worry about the Iran Deal— Since the P5+1 deal with Iran – the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – was announced on July 14, there has been much discussion and debate about it, with lots more undoubtedly to come. No less important, however, are a number of revealing developments that give a glimpse of what may well lie ahead. We ignore or downplay them at our peril. First, the Associated Press (AP) reported that it saw a copy of a draft agreement between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iran, which has now been made publicly available. According to two anonymous officials, the text does not differ from the final confidential deal between Iran and the IAEA regarding Parchin, the site of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program. Startlingly, according to the document, IAEA officials will rely on Iran’s own experts to take a limited number of environmental samples, videos, and photographs for review by the Vienna-based nuclear watchdog. Moreover, the IAEA would only be granted a single visit to the site “as a courtesy” by Tehran.
Shai Feldman and Ariel E. Levite: Drawbacks of the Iran Deal—The Iran nuclear deal yielded neither a verifiable Iranian commitment to restrict its nuclear endeavors to the parameters of a peaceful energy program nor a mechanism that reliably prevents Iran from funneling the enormous unfrozen funds provided to it to all the wrong causes. Moreover, Iran has already begun to set limits on the access rights of the IAEA to its facilities and to violate with impunity the ban on arms transfers to and from Iran. And Iran’s Supreme Leader continued his virulent attacks and relentless diatribes against the U.S. and Israel.
Behnam Ben Taleblu: The Folly of Removing Sanctions on Iran’s Ballistic Missiles—UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which enshrines the Iran nuclear agreement, stipulates that restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missiles will expire eight years after the deal’s implementation. This expiration date is a strategic blunder. This will allow Iran to reinforce its deterrent capacity and to redouble the offensive threat it poses to the region. Iran has become home to the largest and most diverse ballistic missile arsenal in the Middle East. The more confident Iran feels that its inventory will deter retaliatory strikes, the more likely it is to engage in conflict by proxy throughout the region. Concessions on the missile issue were directly against the advice of Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff: “Under no circumstances should we relieve pressure on Iran relative to ballistic missile capabilities and arms trafficking.” The negotiators’ overriding commitment to curb – even if just temporarily – Iran’s ability to build nuclear weapons led them to concede on the very means by which those weapons could ultimately be delivered.
J.B. Pritzker: Iran Agreement Makes War More Likely—In the negotiations on ending Iran’s nuclear threat, U.S. objectives were to reduce the threat to the homeland, to American interests abroad and to our allies in the region. Regrettably, the Iran deal reduces all our leverage upfront, giving Iran billions of dollars in sanctions relief, in return for permitting it to maintain its advanced nuclear program and the infrastructure of a threshold nuclear state. A financially bolstered hard-line Iranian regime will result in increased terrorism abroad and even more repression at home. Given Iran’s atrocious human rights record, we risk compromising our progressive values if we eliminate sanctions and prop up this reactionary regime. By legitimizing Iran’s nuclear program, removing the pressure of economic sanctions and allowing it to obtain conventional weapons and ballistic missiles, this agreement makes the prospect for war more likely, not less.
Irwin Cotler: Iran’s Nuclear Deal Raises Serious Questions—In 2010, as part of the UN Human Rights Council’s first Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Iran, the Iranian government committed to implementing 126 of the 212 recommendations made to it by the international community. In the five years since making those commitments – on matters ranging from women’s rights, to freedom of religion and expression, to the humane treatment of detainees – the human rights situation in Iran has worsened in many respects. The persecution, imprisonment and torture of human rights defenders, members of minority groups, journalists and many other leaders of Iranian civil society has intensified, while the execution rate in Iran – already the highest in the world – has almost doubled under the supposedly moderate President Hassan Rouhani. Given the Iranian regime’s appalling track record of bad faith and duplicity when it comes to international commitments – as well as its standing violation of international treaties to which it is a party and its wanton violation of the human rights of its own citizens – there are serious questions to be asked about the nuclear agreement.
Union for Reform Judaism—Reform Jewish Movement Responds to Iran Deal:
- On Aug. 19, the leaders of the Union for Reform Judaism issued a statement concluding that the movement would not take a position for or against the Iran deal.
- In addition, they noted “five principal areas of concern: deterrence, Iran’s support of terror, inspections, human rights and religious freedom, and the United States’ standing in the world.”
- On deterrence: “We call on President Obama to issue an unequivocal statement that at no point will the U.S. accept a nuclear-armed Iran. The Administration must state clearly that in the short term, and more importantly, 15 years from now when key provisions of the JCPOA expire, the U.S. will take no option off the table when it comes to preventing Iran from attaining nuclear weapons capability. We also call on the U.S. to provide Israel with the support necessary, including advanced weaponry and the means to deliver it, to further deter Iran, protect Israel’s security, and maintain Israel’s qualitative military edge.”
- On Iran’s support of terror: “Iran’s longstanding and persistent threats against Israel, the U.S. and others, as well as its record of support for international terror organizations including Hamas and Hizbullah, are not addressed by this agreement. We urge the Administration to work with our European allies to ensure that harsh international sanctions will be adopted if Iran leverages its newfound resources to further fund terror activity. The U.S. should also commit to leading a broader international effort designed to eliminate Iran’s support of international terror.”
- On inspections: “We call upon the Administration to commit to imposing significant additional consequences if Iran challenges the inspections regime, in addition to the ‘snap back’ sanctions.”
- On human rights and religious freedom: “Iran remains one of the world’s great violators of human rights and religious freedom. The Administration has committed to keeping the sanctions related to human rights fully intact after this agreement and must further commit to marshaling international pressure on Iran to make improvements in expanding human rights, religious freedom and the development of democratic structures.”
Ian Birrell: Shifting Sands: The Unravelling of the Old Order in the Middle East review – why the Arab spring failed—Khaled Fahmy trudged down to Tahrir Square in Cairo four years ago to join what he expected to be another small demonstration crushed by overwhelming police forces. Instead he found himself alongside tens of thousands of fellow Egyptians calling for the downfall of Hosni Mubarak and the end of a 30-year dictatorship. Day after day they returned, believing finally their voice was being heard. A new slogan spread, symbolising the demand for dignity: “Irfa’ rasak fo’. Inta Masri” (Lift up your head. You’re Egyptian.) How distant those heady days now seem, how naive those expectations of democracy. Mubarak was ousted, yet Egypt is now gripped by a worse military dictatorship “that has arrested our friends, imprisoned our comrades and quashed our dreams”. Kangaroo courts have passed hundreds of death sentences and journalists and human rights activists have been jailed, while security forces carried out one of the biggest killings of protesters in recent memory. Despite this, the west continues to support and sell arms to this hideous regime. “How did the Arab spring morph into an Arab nightmare, out of which we seem not to be able to awaken?”
Dr. Mordechai Kedar: Islamic State is Heading for Lebanon Next— The Syrian regime’s situation took a turn for the better when in May 2013, Hezbollah’s infantry entered the conflict in full force in an attempt to conquer the city of Al-Qusayr, located between the Jussieh border crossing that separates northeast Lebanon from Syria and the Syrian city of Homs. Al-Qusayr was of great importance to Hezbollah, because it is on the road that leads from northern Lebanon deep into Syrian territory and was the site of much arms, weapons, ammunition, communications equipment and cash smuggling that came from the port of Tripoli and the Sunnis of northern Lebanon and reached the rebel forces. The Syrian army did not succeed in conquering al-Qusayr, so the Iranian Revolutionary Guard command decided to bring in Hezbollah to free the town from anti-Assad rebels headed by the Free Syrian Army and Jabhat al-Nusra. Hezbollah managed to win the tough battle that included house-to-house fighting, but it paid a hefty price with over one hundred of its fighters dead and at least double that number wounded. The rebels lost over two thousand fighters, of whom 1000 were killed and another 1000 taken prisoner by the Syrian Army while at least 2000 were wounded. The high number of rebel casualties is a result of the Syrian Air Force’s intensive use of barrel bombs. Hezbollah continued to take part in freeing Homs from rebel control, helping Assad hold his ground by ensuring that the Allawite area and its seaports remained accessible from Damascus. At that time, those fighting Hezbollah were mainly the Free Syrian Army and Jabhat al-Nusra.
SnyderTalk Comment: Israel is being surrounded. It’s no wonder that the Israeli people don’t trust Obama. I don’t trust him, either.

Giora Eiland: ISIS Gains from Turkey’s Cynical Policies and the West’s Weakness— Two worrisome news stories were recently published regarding the Islamic State. The first claimed that the organization is using chemical weapons against the Kurds in Syria. The second story reported that ISIS had taken hold of a city in east Libya. It seems that almost nothing can stop the spread of this murderous organization in Iraq, Syria, the northern Sinai region, and Libya. How could this happen? Why is the West unable to stop this enemy, who presents such frightening dangers? The answer contains two parts: Turkey, and weakness. Regarding Turkey: ISIS deals in both imports and exports, both through Turkey. The exports are of oil, ISIS’s main source of income. The imports are of fighters and volunteers, coming in from all over the world, through Turkey. In a move that’s nothing less than amazing, Turkey, a member of NATO, is openly assisting the alliance’s sworn enemy. Turkey’s cynical policy is meant to allow ISIS to oppress the Kurds, but in fact it risks much wider interests. It’s true that after a recent ISIS bombing of Kurd targets inside the country, Ankara did allow American planes to use its military bases against ISIS. However, this small gesture doesn’t change its overall policies, which remain problematic.
Ingrid Carlqvist: The IKEA Murders: Sweden in Crisis— A surge of rage has washed over otherwise docile Sweden. After a double homicide at an IKEA store in Västerås, where an illegal alien stabbed two random Swedes to death, more and more people are questioning why the government is exposing Swedish citizens to murderers from across the globe. On August 10, news of the IKEA murders shocked Sweden. Two asylum seekers from Eritrea (the second largest source of asylum applicants in Sweden), were suspected of having grabbed knives from the kitchenware department and attacked two random Swedes. The victims were 55-year-old Carola Herlin and her 28-year-old son, Emil. The elder of the two asylum seekers, a 36-year-old man, had twice been denied residency status in Sweden — because he had already been granted residency it in Italy — but he had not yet been deported. (Eritreans without residence permits in other EU-countries automatically get to stay in Sweden.)
Tariq Dana: Corruption in Palestine: A Self-Enforcing System—Embezzlement of public funds, misappropriation of resources, and nepotism are an outcome of longstanding corruption embedded in the underlying power structure that governs the Palestinian political system and that were rooted in the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) prior to the Oslo process. Kinship and familial ties together with political ties provide the ruling elite with a strategic tool to control constituents and expand the network of supporters by redistributing public resources in order to buy political loyalties. This contributes to the climate of corruption by favoring incompetent loyal political constituents and excluding skillful people on an arbitrary basis. The PA has managed to secure loyalties among constituents largely by offering access to resources for economic survival rather than by persuasion for its political, economic and social programs. In particular, the large PA public sector – which currently employs over 165,000 whose salaries are guaranteed by international aid – has been a vital instrument for creating dependency and securing loyalties. If employees express criticism of PA policies, they are likely to be forced into early retirement, denied salary payments, or arbitrarily removed from their posts.
Meryem İlayda Atlas: Middle East: A new world disorder—The notion and nomenclature of the Middle East is based on the geography’s positioning according to the Western perspective. When seen from the West, this geography occasionally might appear to be a homogenous Islamic zone. As a matter of fact, the Middle East is quite a cosmopolitan and complex area comprising different religions. Even though the Muslim population is the clear majority and two specific Islamic sects, namely Shiite and Sunni, are particularly distinct, various different ethnicities and religious groups including Turks, Arabs, Persians, Kurds, Christian Arabs, Copts, Syriacs, Armenians and Jews are in question when we mention the Middle East. Already present in the region, the Jews started to settle in Palestine after the Balfour Declaration was signed during World War I. With the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948, they came to be one of the main actors in the Middle East and became a determinant in many balances of the region. The Middle East has never attained any stability since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. It was firstly occupied by the Western states. Following World War II, the invasions ended but the Western states actually never stopped intervening in the region. Moreover, beginning in the 1950s, military coups and revolutions evolved into monarchies and oligarchic dictatorships in a short span of time. So far, the political and economic balances in the region could never settle due to conflicts, occupations and instability in the geography.
Shira Rubin: Israel’s enemy within: Young militant settlers—Elhanan Shmidov views this illegal Jewish outpost, within earshot of the drumming ceremonies of nearby Palestinian villages, as the epitome of “self-sacrifice,” where “good Jews” like him carry out the holy mission of populating this contested land. Shmidov, like many of his neighbors, said residents must defend their place in communities like his throughout “Judea and Samaria,” the biblical name referring to land that was once the domain of the ancient Jewish kingdom. He takes no responsibility for the Jewish extremists — whom he calls “wild weeds” within the pro-settler community — who carry out violence against Palestinians. The increasingly radical Jewish militants who target Palestinians are the latest front in Israel’s struggle against terrorism. Israeli security authorities estimate hundreds belong to the extremist groups, but only about 100 have been involved in the violent attacks.
SnyderTalk Comment: I don’t think Yahweh sees those “young militant settlers” as the problem. I have a strong hunch that He sees those in Israel who don’t support the settlers as the problem.
See Numbers 13: 30-33:
30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us.” 32 So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size. 33 There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
That was the cause of the 40-year wilderness journey. It boiled down to lack of faith in Yahweh. I think that’s what we are witnessing in Israel today—lack of faith in Yahweh.

- When a global currency is adopted, and it will be adopted at some point, we will understand the true cost of our national debt.
- Right now, we are insulated because the dollar is the global reserve currency.
- If that were not the case, our debt costs would be much higher.
- It’s not fair, and the rest of the world knows it.

Exodus 20
1 Then God spoke all these words, saying,
- 2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 You shall have no other gods before Me.”
- 4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
- 7 “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.”
- 8 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of Yahweh your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. 11 For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
- 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.”
- 13 “You shall not murder.”
- 14 “You shall not commit adultery.”
- 15 “You shall not steal.”
- 16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
- 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
SnyderTalk Comment: Read His Name is Yahweh.
These are the Ten Commandments. Yahweh gave them to us through the Children of Israel at the base of Mount Sinai.
They are some of the most important verses in the Bible. There is no question that our nation’s laws were based on them, but things have changed.
If we want to get right with Yahweh, we need to take Him seriously. That begins with having faith in Him and obeying Him.
We have gotten off track. Most Christians can quote John 3: 16 from memory:
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
I love that verse and I’m forever thankful that Yahweh assumed human form to pay the price for my sins and redeem me, but few Christians who can quote John 3: 16 have any idea what John 3: 36 says:
“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Discounting the importance of obedience is a serious mistake. While we can’t earn our way to salvation, we can disobey our way out of it.
I’m not Yahweh so I can’t judge, but I can read and discern.
You should read What Will You Do with the Rest of Your Life? I think you’ll like it.

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.

- 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.
