What is the biblical truth behind the so-called Naohide Laws? What if anything does it have to do with Christians? Why are certain rabbinical Jews attempting to promote this to “Gentile” Christians? Learn how these promoters of the Noahide laws are in direct conflict with the clear teachings of both the Old Testament and New Testament.

Since the Pharisaical/Ultra-Orthodox Jews believe their Talmud/Oral Law overrides the Biblical Torah, their Noahide Laws are up to their interpretation. Upon a brief first look at the Noahide Laws, they seem like everyone would agree, BUT their interpretation of One God means that Christians worshiping Yeshua is blasphemy and worthy of death. All countries have signed on to these laws. When the Pharisees accused Yeshua of blasphemy, they used the nations/Romans to do their dirty work and murder Yeshua. I believe this will be the same. All nations have already signed on. Yeshua warned us of persecution for following Him. Yeshua and the new testament have several warnings of being persecuted and murdered as was He who the Pharisees considered as a blasphemer, which is another Noahide law.
John 16: 2 – “They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.” The first Noahide Congress is scheduled for Nov 2-6 in Jerusalem. Ezekiel 33 —— Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman, 3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
7 “So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me. 8 When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand. 9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
Thank you for this comment. Let us watch and pray as Yeshua commanded us.
I have been thinking about your comment and would like your thoughts on something. What do you think are the intermediate steps between the promotion of the Noahide laws and the fulfillment of Yeshua’s John 16:2 prophecy? How do we get from point A to point B? Yeshua’s prophecy has been partially fulfilled already when the Book of Acts Christians were kicked out of the synagogue, and later by the Jewish persecution of the early Christians especially after AD 70, and then the curse on the heretics that the early rabbinic Jews inserted into their siddur to discourage Christians from attending the synagogue. But these don’t preclude any future fulfillments of this prophecy including the murder of Messianic believers. Your thoughts please. Todah.
