“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)

Scripture of the Day:
Isaiah 18: 1-7—“Alas, oh land of whirring wings which lies beyond the rivers of Cush, which sends envoys by the sea, even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared far and wide, a powerful and oppressive nation whose land the rivers divide. All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth, as soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, you will see it, and as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it. For thus Yahweh has told me, ‘I will look from My dwelling place quietly like dazzling heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For before the harvest, as soon as the bud blossoms and the flower becomes a ripening grape, then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives and remove and cut away the spreading branches. They will be left together for mountain birds of prey and for the beasts of the earth; and the birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them, and all the beasts of the earth will spend harvest time on them. At that time a gift of homage will be brought to Yahweh Sabaoth from a people tall and smooth, even from a people feared far and wide, a powerful and oppressive nation, whose land the rivers divide—to the place of the name of Yahweh Sabaoth, even Mount Zion.’”

SnyderTalk® Commentary:
Currently, I am putting up bite sized pieces of His Name is Yahweh in SnyderTalk Commentary. If you haven’t read it, it will be a treat for you. If you have read it, you will probably enjoy reading it again. You can download the entire manuscript for free at His Name is Yahweh, or you can buy it in Kindle format from Amazon for just $5.
I have left out several footnotes. Please go to the website His Name is Yahweh and download the manuscript. It has all the footnotes, and it’s free.
The Rules of Evidence Confirm Yeshua’s Resurrection
Some brilliant jurists have studied the resurrection of Yeshua and concluded that His resurrection is a fact. For example,
- A gifted lawyer named Frank Morison set out to prove the fallacy of the resurrection. He intended to write a book about it titled Disproving the Resurrection of Jesus. When he completed his research, he did write a book, but it had a different title: Who Moved the Stone? In this book, Morison showed that the rules of evidence confirm Yeshua’s resurrection.
- Simon Greenleaf, a Harvard law professor in the 1800s whose work is still considered to be among the best in the world in terms of the rules of evidence, wrote The Testimony of the Evangelists: The Gospels Examined by the Rules of Evidence in Courts of Justice. In this book, Greenleaf concluded that the resurrection of Yeshua is the most verifiable fact in history.
- A highly regarded Jewish scholar named Pinchas Lapide wrote The Resurrection of Jesus: A Jewish Perspective in which he concluded: “…according to my opinion, the resurrection belongs to the category of the truly real and effective occurrences…a fact of history….” Lapide drew this conclusion despite what he must have known would be the reaction to his findings by many, if not most, Jewish people.
- Josh McDowell, a lawyer and a best-selling author, reached the same conclusion and wrote Evidence That Demands a Verdict. This book addresses several hypotheses pertaining to Yeshua’s death and resurrection. McDowell concludes that no theory about what happened to Yeshua after His crucifixion makes any sense except His resurrection.

Commonsense: Three cheers for Prime Minister Netanyahu. He’s moving in the right direction. Netanyahu is correct in asserting that Israel can’t rely on other nations for protection and support, but he shouldn’t stop there. Israel must learn to rely on Yahweh. It will take bold leadership and a simple acceptance of the truth for him to complete his journey.
