Exclusive Interview with Rabbi Kirt Schneider To Know Him By Name @RabbiSchneider

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang and welcome to the Strang Report podcast.

2
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:25,780
Today I am honored and humbled to be able to interview and talk to one of the most important

3
00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:32,920
and successful authors that we have at Charisma Media. His name is Rabbi Kurt Schneider and

4
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,320
he's recently written a new book called To Know Him by Name and it's about the names

5
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,640
of God and I want you to stay tuned and maybe share this with someone because you're going

6
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:51,040
to learn a lot just as I did. I've read every word of this book. I used to hit my own morning

7
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:58,000
devotionals and I thought I sort of understood the names of God. There's a song that we sing

8
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,400
in the Charismatic Movement, Jehovah Jireh, my provider. His grace is sufficient for me.

9
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:11,840
You probably know that song too, but there's so much more. So I want you to hear from him

10
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,720
and so let me welcome Rabbi Schneider. Thank you for fitting this in. I think this is very

11
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:24,440
important and today we are live and so if any of our viewers have a question toward the end

12
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:32,400
of our program today we will answer them. But let me ask you, you've written a lot of very

13
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,200
important books. Why did you think it was important to write this book and why is it

14
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,320
important for the believer to understand the different names of God?

15
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:48,600
Well, first of all my beloved friend, great to be with you today, Steve. I love you, my

16
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,360
brother, as I shared with you. The first time I saw you I just saw the humility and the

17
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,920
love of God's Spirit on your face so I am happy to be able to partner with you today.

18
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,720
And I would say that the first answer that comes to mind in reference to your question,

19
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Steve, why did I write this book now? It is very simply just divine timing. I mean, it

20
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,960
just like suddenly I felt an unction that this is what I need to write on next. So that's

21
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,640
the first reason that I wrote it. The second reason that I wrote it is because as you know

22
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:26,280
and some of our listeners or viewers know right now, one of the primary aims of my ministry

23
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,600
discovering that you as Jesus is to help God's people understand how the Old Testament or

24
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Hebrew Bible and the New Testament fit together like a hand in a glove because as you know,

25
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,680
a lot of people, they read the Old Testament and they say, is this the same God that I

26
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,960
read about in the New Testament? It's like they read the Hebrew Scriptures and they think

27
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,680
that somehow God's this wrathful God that just, you know, judges everybody so harshly

28
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,320
and then all of a sudden we turn the pages of Scripture and come to the New Testament.

29
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,240
It's like suddenly God puts on a smile and people are kind of scratching their head.

30
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,360
It's like, are these two different gods? What's going on here? So what I try to do is help

31
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:13,480
people understand how God's nature has been revealed in the same way in the Hebrew Bible

32
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,280
that we call in Judaism, the Tanakh, as he is revealed in the New Testament. And the

33
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:25,720
way I do this is I take different principles and different major themes in the Hebrew Bible

34
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,520
and show how they are fulfilled in Messiah Yeshua or Messiah Jesus. So in this particular

35
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:38,040
book what I've done is I've taken the revealed names of God that we find in the Old Testament,

36
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,960
the Hebrew Scriptures and show the believer today, whether you're a Jew or a Gentile,

37
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:49,560
how God has revealed his nature to us through his names and by understanding his revealed

38
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,720
nature through his names, we can trust him to do for us what he wants to do.

39
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Well in just a minute, I'm going to ask you to walk through briefly the names of God

40
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,520
because I believe that will whet people's interest in buying this book. I'll confess

41
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:13,320
that before I saw you at the recent convention, I wanted to, I was going to speed read the

42
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:19,280
book so that I could tell you that I'd read it. And as I got into it, I thought, I can't

43
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,720
speed read this. I needed to absorb every single bit out of it. And as I shared just

44
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:33,800
now, I got so much in my own prayer life, new revelation. And I just want to ask you

45
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:40,320
how you think that understanding God's names help us in our prayer lives.

46
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Well I think it's a multi-dimensional answer. I'm going to start at the beginning of the

47
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:50,840
book and just talk about what immediately pops off the revelation in Scripture to me

48
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:58,080
is many of us when we think of the Hebrew Bible rather, we know it begins in the beginning

49
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,000
God created the heavens and the earth. And we take that for granted, in the beginning

50
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,400
God created the heavens and the earth. But the Hebrew word there for God in the original

51
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:16,040
manuscript is Elohim. So what the Scripture actually says is in the beginning Elohim created

52
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,760
the heavens and the earth. There's a great mystery there because Elohim is the plural

53
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:28,200
form of the Hebrew word El and El means God. Now it's interesting Steve that some of the

54
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:35,280
pagan nations also referred to their pagan gods as El. But when the Creator reveals himself

55
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:41,960
through the pages of Scripture, he's not just El, he's Elohim. When you add Eem onto the

56
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,440
end of a singular Hebrew word, it does two things. Number one, it accents the singular

57
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:55,800
word. So you're not just saying God but you're saying the God. By making El Elohim, we're

58
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,160
lifting that word El up to the highest form. This is not just a God like the pagans refer

59
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:07,280
to their goddess El. This is Elohim. This is the most high God. But then the second

60
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:12,600
thing that happens when we add Eem onto the end of a singular Hebrew word is it makes

61
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:20,640
that singular word plural. So Elohim is actually the plural form for the word El. And it's

62
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,760
a great mystery. And this is, I just love this because as we continue in the text there

63
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:32,200
in Bersheet or Genesis chapter one, Bersheet means beginnings. Right in the beginning God

64
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,680
created the heavens and the earth. So that's the word that we get Genesis from. But we

65
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:43,000
continue in Genesis one, Elohim has revealed God in plural form. And then it says in the

66
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:50,320
beginning it says the Lord said, let us, so the Lord is speaking now in the text, let

67
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:59,000
us make man in our image. And that's really curious because when you stop for a second

68
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,680
and this would be your prayer life, well God, who were you speaking to when you said us?

69
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Because the text says in Genesis one, let us, the Lord is speaking, make man in our

70
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:15,680
image. So well who's God speaking to when he says us? So the traditional rabbi say he

71
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,280
was speaking to angels. Well we know that doesn't make any sense because we're not created

72
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,600
in the image of angels, we're created in the image of our Creator. So God was actually

73
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:34,960
speaking out of the relationship that he has within himself. There's community in God.

74
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:41,120
Now this sounds strange, but God is an us. Now that sounds like a new age thing. I might

75
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,560
talk about the new age, but the Lord said let us make man in our image so that God is

76
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:54,920
an us, meaning that God is relationship. There's relationship within the Godhead.

77
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:00,880
So doesn't that also tie into the Christian concept of what we call the trinity? Even

78
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,760
though the word trinity is not in the Bible, we believe that it's God the Father, God the

79
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:12,320
Son, and God the Holy Spirit. And we need to move through this. This is so interesting

80
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,840
and I want people to get this book. It's available on Amazon and really anywhere the Christian

81
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,600
books are sold because there's such depth and I hope that you can catch it in what's

82
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:29,160
happening. And even understanding a little bit of Hebrew helps me because I hear these

83
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:35,760
Hebrew words like kabut. And then I hear kabut sim. Well, I suddenly understand that one

84
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:42,440
is the plural of the other. So this is so helpful. Let me ask you what you think that,

85
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,800
what role do you think that God's title plays in understanding Bible prophecy?

86
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:53,460
Absolutely. But Stephen, can I do this because you asked me a question and I never directly

87
00:08:53,460 --> 00:08:57,160
answered your question because the first question you asked me was how does understanding

88
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,560
God's names help us in our prayer life? And so just directly answer the question. We'll

89
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:06,280
get into it more. It's because as we'll dwell deeper in our time today and in the book,

90
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:12,200
we talk about God's covenant name connected with the things that he does for us. And so

91
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,000
when we know God, when we know who God has revealed himself to be to us, then we can

92
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,720
pray to him believing that he's going to do for us what he said he's going to do to us

93
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:29,640
through the revelation of his names. So that was the answer to your first question. So

94
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,680
please forgive me, my friend. So what was the second question? I just wanted to make

95
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:35,680
sure that I didn't go on without answering the first question. So what was the second

96
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:45,480
question? Thank you. It was how how it plays in our understanding of Bible prophecy?

97
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:51,520
Well, boy, that's a question. I don't even know if I have an easy answer right off the

98
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:57,400
bat for that. But you had a question for me right before that one. What was the question

99
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:02,200
right before that one? You just said an asset. I didn't answer it. I went back to the question.

100
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,480
I was asking you about the concept of the Trinity in the New Testament. I'd love to

101
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:13,320
speak on that. I'd love to speak on that. Because again, for me as a Jewish person, the word

102
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:19,560
Trinity, it's not easy for me. I don't really personally like that word. Not that I am not

103
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:26,320
receiving of the revelation that God has revealed multi dimensionally as Father, Son, and Spirit.

104
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,360
I receive that. I believe that. But it just that the word Trinity, it just kind of feels

105
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,560
foreign to me. Well, and it's a word that's not even in the Bible. Yeah, yeah. The word

106
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:40,760
Bible is not in the Bible either. They're just English words that we have to try to

107
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:48,280
describe different concepts. But but you know, we believe in one God. We are not pantheists.

108
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:54,480
But yet there are the three different aspects of God. And it's just interesting that Elohim

109
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:02,280
is plural of the word God. So explain it to us. Absolutely. It's a it's a what to your

110
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,560
point, Steve, it's one of the it's the first objection that you will get, generally speaking

111
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:14,400
from a Jewish person that is refuting your testimony or your belief in Yeshua and Jesus,

112
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,360
because the most famous declaration of Judaism is called the Schma, which means to hear and

113
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:26,280
obey to hear. And some of our listeners have probably heard it. The Schma is hero Israel,

114
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:32,480
the Lord our God, the Lord is one taken right out of the Torah, hero Israel, the Lord our

115
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:39,880
God, the Lord is one. So actually Orthodox Jewish men endeavor to die with those words

116
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,680
coming from their lips as they're leaving this world. So in Judaism, their concept of

117
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:50,240
hero Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Their concept of what that means is that

118
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:57,400
God is a singular unity. So they would feel about you and I like you guys, you know, you

119
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,080
guys believe in three gods, we're Jews, we don't believe in three gods, you know, that

120
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,440
that's inferior, the traditional Jew would think, you guys are pagans, believe it in

121
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,120
three gods, you know, you talk about the father, you talk about the son, you talk about the

122
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:17,560
spirit, but we're Jews. We know there's one God. But from the very beginning, Elohim has

123
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:24,160
actually revealed himself as a multi dimensional God. Now this is really interesting. So when

124
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:30,480
we say Schma Israel, Adonai Elohenu, Adonai Ahad, the Lord is one, the Hebrew word for

125
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:38,920
one there is Ahad. The same word Ahad is used in a man marrying a woman. So the scripture

126
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:44,880
says that a man shall leave his father and mother cleave to his wife and the two shall

127
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:52,280
become a hard one. So isn't that interesting? The Torah uses the word a hard for a man and

128
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:59,600
woman becoming one in marriage. So that's not a singular unity. It's a compound unity.

129
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:05,240
The man and woman together become one, they become a hard that same word for oneness is

130
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:11,560
used in the Torah in relationship to the tabernacle. That after the tabernacle was built, it was

131
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:16,760
the temporary structure of worship that Moses had that they carried with them through the

132
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,000
desert on their way to the promised land. That when all the pieces of the tabernacle

133
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,560
were built, they were then put together all the pieces to make it all a hard one. So nowhere

134
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:33,920
does the Bible teach that God is a singular unity. On the other hand, what we do see a

135
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:40,560
revealed in scripture in a hidden prophetic way is that God is a compound unity. He's

136
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:47,160
one yet he is multi-dimensional. He reveals himself as father, son and spirit. Now this

137
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:54,560
is really interesting. Everybody knows that God is love. And by definition, love has to

138
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:59,680
have an object. You can't be a God of love without loving someone. So how could God be

139
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:08,400
a God of love if there was no one to love from eternity time past? The son has always

140
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:14,400
been in the bosom of the father and he's always been the focus of the father's love. So as

141
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,520
you're saying the word Trinity is not in scripture, but God is revealed multi-dimensionally in

142
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,640
scripture as father, son and the spirit.

143
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,640
That's very interesting. So let's we're already about halfway through our time. So you start

144
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:38,080
off with Elohim and then go on down. The second is El Yan, the God most high. Yes. Did I

145
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:43,720
say it wrong? No, no, no. El Yan, God most high. But you know, I think in best interest

146
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,880
to our listeners today, since we're already halfway done, I think what we do is we move

147
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:57,360
on to the actual name of God because Elohim is a title. El Yan, God most high is also

148
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:04,240
a title. El Shaddai, which many of our listeners have heard of. El Shaddai is even a title.

149
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,240
It's God Almighty.

150
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:11,760
It was a famous song by Amy Grant. Yes. Yes. That was a big one for sure. But by the time

151
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:18,160
we get to Exodus three, the Lord reveals his name. So the Lord says to Moses in Exodus

152
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:27,720
three and Exodus six, he said, Moses, your forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob knew me

153
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:37,680
as El Shaddai as God Almighty. But by my name. And then the Lord spoke his name, his memorial

154
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:44,200
name. So you 7000 times in the Hebrew Bible, it's composed of the four Hebrew letters,

155
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:52,080
good, hey, Vav, hey, which most Semitic language scholars, ancient Semitic language scholars

156
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:59,720
believe is pronounced a breathy Yahweh. So the Lord said to Moses, Moses, your forefathers

157
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:07,320
knew me as El Shaddai as God Almighty. But by my name Yahweh, they did not know me. This

158
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:16,560
is my memorial name forever. And so God has a name. This is this is important to realize

159
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,480
it. You know, when we think of God, sometimes we think of him kind of as this, you know,

160
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,960
impersonal God that maybe is the Creator and it's all powerful and knows everything. But

161
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:33,920
sometimes we lack the sensitivity to realize that he's not just all powerful, but he's

162
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:40,080
a person and his name, the father of the Lord Jesus, his name is Yahweh.

163
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:48,880
And then going on down, we have Yahweh, and maybe you could explain this is kind of corrupted

164
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:55,320
in English to Jehovah, I guess in the same way that Indian is corrupted into the word

165
00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:00,920
engine or something like that. Maybe you could explain that because I know it confuses a

166
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:07,520
lot of people. Yes, it does. So in Hebrew, interestingly, there's no vowels in the Hebrew

167
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:14,080
alphabet. There's only consonants. And so the only way that you would know how to actually

168
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:19,920
pronounce a word without the vowel sounds is number one, you would just have heard somebody

169
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,920
else say the word and you learned how to say it by somebody else saying it. So that's the

170
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,040
way the Hebrew dialogue was first of all passed on. It was passed on orally. But then eventually

171
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:36,560
what happened was the scribes began to put accent markings over the Hebrew consonants

172
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:43,520
and the accent markings told you how to pronounce the two consonants together. The accent markings

173
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:50,480
contain the vowel sound. And so for example, in English, if you had the letter B and the

174
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,440
letter T, without a vowel between the B and T, you wouldn't know how it was pronounced.

175
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:02,520
You wouldn't know whether it was but, bat, bet, you wouldn't know. So in Hebrew, eventually

176
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,880
what they did was they put vowel accent markings over the consonants to help us know how the

177
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:15,720
consonants were put together. But the ancient scribes were very fearful of pagan nations

178
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,920
learning how to pronounce God's covenant name because they were concerned if the ancient

179
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:27,800
nations learned God's sacred name, they would misuse it. They would blaspheme it. So in

180
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:33,640
order to prevent pagans from knowing how to pronounce God's name, the Hebrew scribes put

181
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:40,680
the accent markings, Steve, in our audience today, over the wrong place to confuse the

182
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:46,520
pagans so they wouldn't know how to pronounce it. So that in conjunction with the fact that

183
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:53,560
language changes over time. So for example, the yos sound in Hebrew eventually morphed

184
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:59,360
into a J sound in English. So like when you drive into Jerusalem today, when you first

185
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:04,280
drive into the city, you'll see the big sign. And in English, it'll say Jerusalem, you know,

186
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,640
J-E-R, and they'll spell it out. But then under the English, it'll have the Hebrew letters.

187
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:16,080
And when you read the Hebrew letters, it's not Jerusalem, it's Yerushalayim. So again,

188
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:22,240
the original Hebrew is a yos sound. So because the Hebrew scribes put the accent markings

189
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:29,120
over the wrong places to confuse the pagans, and because the yos sound for biblical Hebrew

190
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:34,280
eventually was changed in English to a J sound, most Christians believe, you know, God's sacred

191
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:40,200
name is Jehovah rather than Yahweh. And you've probably heard that song, there is no God

192
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:46,680
like Jehovah. And I humorously say it's true because there is no God named Jehovah.

193
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:54,840
That's funny. You know, we're going to have to hurry through this. But you've got Yahweh

194
00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:05,160
Yairah, who we say Jehovah Jairah, got our provider, Lord our healer. Just run through

195
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,320
these because to give people a taste, they're going to have to get the book. They're going

196
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,880
to have to go on your website and get the different teachings you have. Look at you

197
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:20,760
on YouTube. In fact, before we're done, I want you to tell people how to connect with

198
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:27,840
your ministry and all you have so many resources. And I will say if there's any viewers live

199
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,000
who want to pose a question, we can probably have time for just one question, but kind

200
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,840
of run through those. I want you to pronounce them. I'm not sure I will do it right.

201
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:43,480
Okay, my brother Yahweh Yairah, the Lord our provider, the Lord revealed this to Abraham.

202
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,600
It's actually the scriptures revealed to us in relationship to the Lord, providing Abraham

203
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:55,960
a lamb when he was about to sacrifice his son. And it's basically it's an encouragement

204
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:01,840
for us to trust God to be our source. And that's what I love when we began today, talked

205
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,360
about how do you incorporate this revelation of God's name into your prayer life. So the

206
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:13,520
first revelation of Yahweh in relationship to what he does for those that are in covenant

207
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:19,120
relationship with him is that he provides for them. And you know, Jesus said, you'll

208
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:23,800
know the truth and the truth shall set you free. And when we realize the Lord is our

209
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,960
provider, that our God shall supply all our needs according to his riches and glory, freedom

210
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,440
is birthed into our life because we don't have to rely on man. We know at the end of

211
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:41,680
the day, Steve, and I love this, if we lost everything, we'd still be okay because we'd

212
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:49,240
still have Yahweh Yairah, the Lord our provider, and he would give us everything we need.

213
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,960
That's great. So let's go ahead and talk about a few others. The Lord our healer, the Lord

214
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,120
our victory banner, the Lord our sanctifier, and there's more.

215
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:06,560
Yep. Well, the next one that I love so much is Yahweh Raufah, or Yahweh Rafa, the Lord

216
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:14,120
our healer. And this is in relationship to the Lord giving life to our physical bodies.

217
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:20,040
And the Lord revealed his name as Yahweh Raufah, the Lord our healer, and the time that the

218
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:25,360
children of Israel were sick because they had drunk from polluted waters at a place called

219
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:30,560
Marah. And so the Lord, Moses is crying out to the Lord, the waters are polluted, they're

220
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,720
making the children of Israel sick. Moses cries out to the Lord, the Lord instructs Moses

221
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:43,040
to take a Hissa branch, to put the Hissa branch in the water. The Lord then cleans the water

222
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:48,880
and healed his children. And what I love so much about this is just knowing that I can

223
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:55,000
look to God as my great physician. I don't understand why God sometimes heals instantly.

224
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:01,360
Why some people recover over time. They experience a supernatural recovery from the time that

225
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:06,640
somebody lays hands on them, or the time they begin to receive the Lord's healing into their

226
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:13,800
life through faith. And why we don't understand at times why some people don't get physically

227
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,000
healed of something and, you know, end up sometimes struggling with some type of physical

228
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,760
condition until they meet Jesus face to face. I don't know why sometimes there's instantaneous

229
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:28,840
healing. Why sometimes people recover as they go. They experience a supernatural recovery

230
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,800
from the time that they begin to believe God for their healing or their prayed for. And

231
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,320
why at times we don't know why some people seemingly don't get healed in this life. But

232
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:44,600
let's not let what we don't understand keep us from taking a hold, Steve, of what we do

233
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:52,160
understand. And what we do understand is that God is a healing God. And he's the healer

234
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,080
of his people. And we don't want to get bitter against God. If we're not healed the way we

235
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,800
you know want to be healed or when we should think we should get healed. Let's keep our

236
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,600
heart right. But let's trust the Lord to be our healer. And this is a really important

237
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:11,480
point when when Moses cry out to the Lord about healing his people and healing the water,

238
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,880
the Lord told Moses, I want you to take a hiss of branch and put that hiss of branch

239
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,440
in the water. And the Lord cleans the water when Moses put the hiss of branch. That tells

240
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,920
me that sometimes God uses agents, whether it be a supplement, whether it be a doctor,

241
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:31,880
there's times that God uses, you know, an agent just like use the his of branch in the

242
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,440
supernatural healing of his people. So as he does it all by himself, sometimes he's

243
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,920
an agent.

244
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:45,920
So here's one that a lot of people would know Yahweh Shalom. Yes, the Lord our peace. That's

245
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:52,920
huge. God, God is peace. And the scripture tells us that after we have suffered for a

246
00:24:52,920 --> 00:25:03,360
little while, the God of peace Yahweh Shalom will crush Satan under our feet. And the Lord

247
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:10,640
reveals himself as the God of peace in the book of judges Yahweh Shalom. And I know

248
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,520
that when I'm in Africa, I see a lot of people that are possessed by demons. Because you

249
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,440
know, in America, we were raised in a Judeo Christian foundation. But in some of these

250
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:25,640
other nations around the world, they were raised in Buddhism and witchcraft and occultism

251
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,960
and ancestral spirits and all this other stuff. So there's a lot more demonic possession in

252
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,760
some of these third world countries. And I see I've seen a lot of it, Steve, when I've

253
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,720
traveled the world, I've seen everything that we read about in the book of acts, I've seen

254
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,880
it with my own eyes. I mean, little kids even frothing at the mouth, you know, just rolling

255
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,960
on the ground, I mean, eyes turned back in their head. But here's what I found. I will

256
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,520
take a hold of somebody by the grace of God that's literally possessed by a demon. I'll

257
00:25:54,520 --> 00:26:04,600
command them to look into my eyes. And when they look into my eyes, and they see the tender

258
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:12,280
shalom, the tender peace of Yahweh Shalom of Yeshua, the Sarshalom, the principle of

259
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:18,400
peace, the demons leave. They cannot bear to be in the presence of God's peace. They

260
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,480
break up and they scatter.

261
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,920
You know, we are almost out of time and people are going to have to get the book. It's called

262
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:36,120
to know him by name by Rabbi Kurt Schneider, S-C-H-N-E-I-D-E-R, if you need to spell it

263
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:43,400
in a search engine or something. And tell us about your ministry, your television ministry,

264
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,680
and your ministry up there in Ohio.

265
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,920
Well, thank you, my friend. So the best way to get all the information about where we're

266
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:59,320
at, what we're doing is go to our website, discoveringthejewishjesus.com, discoveringthejewishjesus.com.

267
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,960
It lists all the television stations that we're on, all the radio stations that we're

268
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,840
on, our YouTube channel, Rabbi Schneider or discoveringthejewishjesus.com. We'll take

269
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,960
you to the same place.

270
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,600
But it's all, Stephen, it's all been the Lord's favor. It's all been supernatural. I mean,

271
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,440
I can say that, you know, this was not my ministry that extends throughout the world.

272
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,600
It's not a result of my own ambition. It's the result of the Lord calling me and opening

273
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,880
up these doors. So I really believe there is an anointing on it to, to, to, for God to

274
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,640
bless his people.

275
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:39,320
I believe you're right. And in my long journalism career, I've had occasion to meet many leaders,

276
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,880
Christian leaders, spiritual leaders. And I must say that you are one of the most pure-hearted

277
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:50,280
and it's an honor, it's a distinct honor to be trusted, to partner with you in so many

278
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,960
ways, mainly in publishing your books. And this one, I think, is so important. And I hope

279
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,040
that people will get it. I'd like to tell the viewers, if you don't subscribe to The

280
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:04,840
Strangler Report, please do so. Share this with others and hit the little bell so that

281
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,200
you know when we're on live every Tuesday and Thursday.

282
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:13,840
And I thank you, Rabbi Schneider. We probably need to schedule another podcast to go through

283
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:21,160
this. You know, you, you could talk more than 30 minutes on each of the names of God and,

284
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,120
and you have taught on it so many times, but I'll just encourage people to go by this book

285
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:30,360
to know Him by name. It's an important book. It's a book that will minister to you. Leave

286
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:36,600
your comments below when we read them later on. It's very important and tune in again
