WHY THE LAWS OF NOAH HAVE NOT
BEEN TAUGHT SINCE THE SECOND TEMPLE
Answer for yourself: Are you aware
that if the righteous Jews of the Second Temple period had taught the
Seven Laws of Noah to the non-Jews, there would never have risen a
religion such as Christianity?
It is time for the Christian to learn
something. The information necessary to understand the above statement is
very involved and lengthy yet I will try to summarize. The Great Commision
of Yeshua/Jesus was not the first...in fact it was the Second. Rabbi
Hillel in 20 B.C.E. understood that God had judged Israel guilty of
violating the Second Tablet of the Law. The Second Tablet of the Law
involved man's relationship with mankind; in particular Israel's
relationship with the non-Jewish world. Instead of Israel being a light
unto the Nations the nation had turned within and had failed to reach out
to the heathen with the truth about the Creator. In particular the light
that Israel was supposed to shine upon the heathen was their Covenant with
God called the Covenant of Noah. Israel's lack of love (since the Second
Tablet of the Law are manifestations of love between man and man) for the
Gentile due to years of persecutions, murder, captivity, occupation, etc.,
were the obvious reasons why the Jews without Eternal Life from the
non-Jew. Only through circumcision and full conversion of the non-Jew
would the Jews be receptive of non-Jews and that was tedious to say the
least. But God held them accountable as His Holy Nation and Royal
Priesthood....for a Priest brings mankind to God. Such was God's
displeasure and the book of Daniel forewarns Israel of the forthcoming
destruction of the Temple and the nation of Israel. Some Rabbis heeded the
warning; many did not. Rabbi Hillel who influence Yeshua began the First
Great Commission to take the Covenant and Laws of Noah to the Gentile
nations in a repentant attempt to forestall or set aside the forthcoming
prophesied judgment of God. Yeshua would fifty years later attempt the
same in the Second Great Commission to the nations where the Commandments
of God were taken to them in the form of the Covenant of Noah. Again a
Third attempt was made by James and the Apostolic community to take the
Laws of Noah to the nations to not only fulfill Israel's calling as a Holy
Priesthood but to repent of Israel's failure to obey the Second Tablet of
the Law where they withheld God's love to the Gentile nations by refusing
to teach them the Covenant and Laws of Noah for Eternal Life; instead they
had enforced circumcision upon the nature-worshipping heathen who were
into fertility rites and paganism. Israel's failure to teach the Nations
how to come to God was a terrible sin; one which would cost them their
Temple and their land for 2000 years. Efforts were made to turn Israel in
repentance and avoid the judgment of God. Sadly the efforts of Hillel,
Yeshua, and James would not be enough because after Hillel's death Gentile
hating Rabbis like R. Shammai took control and direction of Israel as a
nation and continued repressive treatment of the Gentiles. The Roman
occupation of Israel and their harsh treatment of the Jews under P. Pilate
did not help the matter but yet God called Israel to rise above their
situation and not strike the rock twice but reveal Him accurately to the
Nations. Failure to do that would by the year 70 A.D. mean the ultimate
destruction of Israel and her Temple. Now understand that if Israel had
lived up to her Covenant under God in relationship to her brothers the
non-Jews and the Lost Tribes of Israel who had been assimilated into the
Gentile nations then there would have never been any Essene radical
apocalyptic theology and crucified sun-godmen theology that would have
become the very basis for a mutated Judaism/Gentile religion that we have
today for it was these Essenes who later became followers of the "Christ"
and who departed from Biblical Judaism as we knew it. Understand as well
that is was the Shammai Pharisees and NOT the Hillel Pharisees that
brought the destruction upon Israel. Understand as well it was not the
Shammai Pharisees alone but the Gentile hating Essenes as well along with
the Sadducees that departed from true Biblical faith and caused Israel's
demise. If Israel had repented and given the Gentile world the Laws of
Noah and the Covenant of Noah as Hillel, Yeshua, and James had tried then
today we would not be buried in the apostasy, idolatry, and blasphemy that
we are as Gentile Christians. That says more than you know; trust me on
that!
