Educating the Christians of All Nations of the Noahide Law: A Serial Analysis, Portion One

In the previous blog post, The Noahide Laws: Will the Laws Be Used by the Antichrist? I identified the seven Noahide laws, so we won’t be reiterating them here, but giving the Christian and the secular Gentile the interpretation of these laws from my studies in watching videos, articles, and reading the book entitled, The Divine Code by Rabbi Moshe Weiner.

The Noahide laws were written into the Talmud before Jesus’s birth. The Talmud consists of the Gemara and the Mishnah, Jewish literature that interprets Jewish law. There are two Talmuds, the Jerusalem Talmud, and the Babylonian Talmud. The Babylonian Talmud is the one that is mostly used. These two portions of literature are also known as the Oral Torah and is called the traditions. Jesus certainly knew about the Talmud and the traditions as he is confronted by the Pharisees in Mark 7, as they are called the traditions of the elders in scripture.

And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders; and when they come from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?
Mark 7:1-5 ASV

As I studied, I read about Moses in Egypt before Pharaoh. Moses as he was before Pharaoh demands that he release the Israelites from slavery. Moses was enacting the demands by his authority that God gave him in Midian at the burning bush. Now, Moses is before Pharaoh and to convince him to let the Israelites go, Moses obeys the voice of God and a series of signs are performed before Pharaoh and his court. Within the interpretation of the Noahide laws, they are establishing the definition of idolatry. Here, they told of Moses being a prophet, yet he did miracles in Pharaoh’s court, and believed he did so by sorcery. Here, I began to recall New Testament scripture of how Jesus was treated by the Pharisees and I saw a parallel between Moses and Jesus. The Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out a demon from a man by sorcery. Researching further, my thought was affirmed as I read a similar thought by the One for Israel group. Why a parallel between Moses and Jesus? Moses is a messiah type. He is an intercessor, an intermediary between God and the people. In the Noahide laws one who worships a god that is an intermediary between man and their god is idolatry. Also, if one believes that their god is more than one, then that god is an idol. In Christianity, we believe in Jesus as Messiah because of his birth, miracles, death to defeat Satan, that he is the Son of God, and an intercessor. Also, most Christians believe in a trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The Jews believe that God is One. He cannot be in the form of a trinity in their view because they see the trinity as three gods. Further, they believe God is spirit and does not take on a physical form. So, to them the Christian believe in a trichotomous God is idolatry, and the Christian, whether they be of any nation including the Messianic Jew would be in violation of the Noahide Laws.

And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as Jehovah had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Exodus 7: 8-10 ASV

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but ^[a]by ^[b]Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
Matthew 12:24 ASV

A Gentile may convert to Judaism if they wish. The Gentiles are only obligated to obey the Noahide laws but may convert. In doing so, they will be expected to abide by the Torah law as well, but even in their conversion the Gentile will not be permitted to observe the celebrations, nor wear a tallit (prayer shawl), or have a mezuzah on their doorposts. In my opinion, they are only allowed to get close to God as they are allowed. Also, in order to understand the Torah, and the Tanakh the Gentiles are to be taught by a Jewish person, most likely a Rabbi.

The law concerning circumcision is that the Gentile is not allowed to circumcise their male children because that is an identification of a Jew. If a Gentile is allowed circumcision, then only the first part of the foreskin is allowed for removal. Within the Noahide laws exceptions are made for every law within this code for the Gentile as they see fit.

These articles on the Noahide laws is not to be meant to be against the Jewish people. For we are to bless Israel, the nation and the people, meaning we are to love them as God’s creation just like we love other ethnicities and nations, but there is a portion of the Jewish population that are pushing the Noahide laws upon the world. The expectation is that all the people of the world is to obey the Noahide laws. These laws have been observed before in history, but it was during the time of the Second Temple when Gentiles resided within the nation of Israel. After these years the Jewish people were dispersed to the nations because of the disobedience of the law of God that the land was to rest every seventh year-a sabbath year. The Noahide laws were no longer enforced because the nation of Israel was brought down. It is known in history the Jewish people have been scattered among the nations and only in the last seventy-one years have established another nation (year Israel reestablished is 1948). During these diasporas, the Noahide laws were not spoken because the Jews were residing in foreign countries. Rabbi Schneerson said it is time that the Noahide laws be taught because the time of the messiah is near. A time that will bring peace and wisdom. I believe he is talking about a messianic kingdom. One will come but it will be ruled by Jesus. Any other kingdom will be that of the Antichrist, a time that will eventually bring oppression.

A one world system of government, one universal religion, and finance is coming as scripture says. One will need to keep their eyes open for deceit, and their head in scripture learning so that deception will not creep up on them. This system has been announced in our generations as the New World Order back in my youth. Be watchful, for our current days are of chaos, division, and disorder.

No Other God

At the beginning of the universe and earth there was no other gods. Pagan worship had not began, nor had sin entered into the world at this juncture because man and woman had not been created. There was not a temptation by Satan yet, though he had already fallen. But at the point of man and woman in the Garden of Eden, Satan came and deceived the woman Eve. Here, Satan told Adam and Eve they could become like gods if they would partake of the Tree of Good and Evil, which they did, and sin came into the world immediately and all creation of the earth was defiled.

Even, at this time there was only One God, but as man lived and multiplied on the earth they began to listen to the lies of Satan and his fallen angels. It soon occurred that men would worship these fallen angels and give homage to them. Still there was only One God, and he was known to men like Enoch and Noah who preached to them of God the Almighty. At this time in history it is not written in scripture that God made himself known by name to man, but as we read scripture in Genesis 1:1 he makes himself known to those who read the Torah that he is Elohim—the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Elohim is plural, and that is the reason for me explaining him as the Trinity and that we are made in his image; body, soul, and spirit.

As time progressed the generations of Adam became iniquitous and soon it was found that Noah and his family of 7 were the only ones who had pure DNA. So, the world was destroyed by water because of man’s iniquities and failure to listen to Enoch and Noah of the goodness and the salvation of God.

Later, God presents himself to Abraham as the Almighty God, shadday, or as we have accustomed ourselves in later times as El Shaddai. Then to Moses, he presents himself as Yahweh, the I AM, that I AM. Yes, the God of Israel, the only true God is almighty. He is the creator and can do anything. He creates life, and that is something Satan and his fallen angels, the pagan gods, cannot do because they are created beings by the same God that created man. Even Solomon proclaimed God in this manner:

And he said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
1 Kings 8:23 KJV

He is mighty, loving, pure, and is all knowing, and the God that can be anywhere, anytime, and know every bit of our hearts and thoughts simultaneously. That’s power! How can I further describe the God I serve, whose son is Jesus, and has sent his Holy Ghost to earth after Jesus ascension so that we can have salvation, deliverance, and healing? I describe him with this verse:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
²Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV

God is powerful and he is the only one that we should worship because he is the only God who can deliver and bring salvation and life. Any other god that is worshiped by man is God’s enemy. Man for centuries have followed pagan gods of many names, and some of those same gods are worshiped in what we know as the New Age movement. The pagan gods no matter what name they go by in any region of the world, their influence will only bring man to his eternal death and should not be followed.

There is only one way, and that is the road to God through Jesus the Messiah because there is no other God.

Who is God?

Many people through the ages have asked this question. Many have found the answer by reading the bible given to them, heard many preachers, teachers, and disciples of the Lord Jesus tell of him. So, I asked myself the question and how I would explain the God of Israel, the God that Christians also call Jesus. Here are my thoughts.

God is Elohim. Elohim, a Hebrew word that is plural. Throughout scripture we see the definition of Elohim taught as the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. In the Old Testament we do see the trichotomy mostly in symbolism involving the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is direct in the Torah and the Tanach. The Son is spoken of, for instance, as the Captain of the Hosts and also as messiah types like Moses. The Holy Spirit is seen as water, wine, and oil in these scriptures. As we move along to the New Testament, which is a renewed covenant we see all three working through these writings being directly spoken of in context. God is made up of three persons, yet he is One. We are made in his image as body, soul, and spirit—three, yet one.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:1 KJV

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:26 KJV

God is Light. In the beginning of creation, God presents himself as light. He is the light of creation until he creates the sun to provide a light through the seasons. In the new earth to come God returns as the eternal light where his people dwell forever. We also see in his person that God is light, in which there is no darkness, meaning God is perfect, life is in himself, and in his being sin is not found. He is holy. With his light and knowledge he reveals the deep and hidden things, which he has written into his word, the bible for man to find. When we need strength, encouragement, wisdom and knowledge we can go to the scriptures and find light for the soul which quenches the thirst we have for our spiritual needs. Within him is light. He is made up of light, and light dwells within him. He is bright, and so bright that no man can physically look upon him and live. This he tells Elijah so that he can go into the creft of the rock and God can show his back to him because God’s glory—his light, the shekinah would strike him dead. Why? Because we do not live in glorified bodies. Our bodies are corrupted by sin that came through the sin of Adam and Eve.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:5 KJV

He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
Daniel 2:22 KJV

God is Light and Salvation. When I need light I go to Jesus to ask for strength and his light to light my paths so that I may stay and live in righteousness, for God is my strength that I need daily to ward off evil. He is life, and life on earth depends upon light to continue, and we must need light to continue living within our spirit man, the spirit that God breathed into us. When we are living righteously, we have his light and his light is sensed by all in the world, both those who live for Jesus, and by those who don’t. When we read his word, listen for his voice to guide us, with these paths we see his light and his goodness and love.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lordis the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1 KJV

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
Psalm 36:9 KJV

This is how I would describe God to anyone in the world. There is only one path to eternal life, and that is through Jesus the Son of God, the logos—the Word.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1 KJV
