Something Big Is About To Happen In Jerusalem… The Nohide Laws

Truth B Told

All right, my friends, something big is about to happen in Jerusalem in just a few days that a lot of people need to know about, and it’s something that we’ve covered already here on this channel. At the center of it is a set of ancient laws known as the Noahide laws, which are being organized on a global scale.

There’s one part of this that should get every person’s attention, especially if you’re a Christian. Once you understand what these laws actually say and how they’re being applied, this becomes much more serious than most people realize. So hit that like button, let’s get this out there to as many people as we can, and if you haven’t yet, subscribe to Truth Be Told. I’d love to have you with me on this truth journey.

All right, here we go. I’m going to start this out not with a video like normal—I do have a video toward the end that you’re going to want to hear. But first, I’m going to let you see the Noahide Congress’s own webpage right there on your screen. It’s called the Noahide International Congress Jerusalem 2026, and it gives the dates, November 2nd through November 6th. We’re talking a lot of world leaders. It says, “The first international Noahide Congress, community leaders from around the world.” You can even reserve your place right now if you want to. But it’s their official site, okay?

And it quotes here: “And many nations were converted to the Lord that day, and they became my people. And many nations shall join themselves to Shem in that day and shall be my people.”

This is the day; we invite you to be a part of it. I mean, something ancient is beginning again in Jerusalem. Is that what’s happening? Why this? Why now? Well, for 2,000 years, the words of Israel’s prophet waited, and we waited. The people of Israel returned home, and the state of Israel was built. Now, quietly, tens of thousands of non-Jews on multiple continents are choosing to live by the universal moral laws given at Sinai to all humanity. They are called the Noahides, and they are awakening. They’re organizing, and for the first time in history, they have an address: Jerusalem.

I mean, this is describing people from around the world, my friends, organizing around what are called the Noahide laws and—what you’ll see in a little bit—they’re even calling it Noahism. And the website states itself: “Tens of thousands of non-Jews on multiple continents are choosing to live according to these laws, and now they’re gathering together in Jerusalem.”

So, I want you to understand something right off the bat. This is real. This is actually happening. This is not something said by somebody sitting in their basement making predictions about something that might happen. Their own organization is telling us exactly what they believe and what they are building. So, the question is not whether this will happen—it is happening, it says. The question is who will be there when it does.

It gives the identities, the one mission—not merely a conference, my friends, but a creation. You will be more than an attendee; you will be a founding member of an international Noahide movement recognized and supported by Israel’s rabbis and president. So, you’ll see with your own eyes, this congress will change all these things. You will speak to the creator, you will attend classes. You arrive feeling isolated, you leave knowing you’re part of an international family. Real nice, okay?

What Do They Believe?

So, what do they believe? What are the Noahide laws? Well, I want to share it with you exactly from the Noahide World Center itself, okay? It says here: “There’s a group of non-Jews who faithfully observe the seven laws of Noah that God has commanded them according to the Jewish tradition.”

Here is a short synopsis of the seven laws:

1. Not to worship idols
2. Not to curse God
3. Not to commit murder
4. Not to commit sexual immorality
5. Don’t steal
6. Don’t eat flesh torn from a living animal
7. A commandment to establish courts of justice

So again, you might say, “Well, what’s the problem? Don’t murder, don’t steal, right? Sexual immorality, absolutely. Yeah, we need justice, of course.” The issue is not that every moral principle in this system is somehow evil. No, again, I say it: The question is who determines what an idol is at the very top? Because if you notice, this is right at the top of the list. What is an idol? Because if idolatry is wrong, what is it?

Well, you don’t have to ask. I’m going to show you this teaching, which comes again directly from the Noahide World Center, right here: Chapter 3, part 3. Now, the text is kind of small, but I want to read to you a little bit of what it says and then talk about it. And by the way, this video just keeps going, so stick with me because it’s going to build toward the end, and you’re going to be surprised at seeing how large and growing this movement really is, and how we might be seeing the fulfillment of more prophecy within this.

“In all the laws of idolatry, there is the prohibition of idol worship that we learn about in the book Brit Shalom, chapter 3. We are commanded to avoid the subjugation of a person to any entity other than God. Here is what it says in paragraph 4, quote: ‘A person is subjugated solely to the Creator of the world and not to any other entity beside Him.’ End quote. This means that there are physical entities and there are spiritual entities. Yet, a person is accountable and obligated to serve God alone. Therefore, the Torah commands every person—Jewish or non-Jewish—not to engage in ritual worship except for God. This prohibition is called idolatry.”

The Stance on Christianity

And I want to make a quick note here. We’re not talking about laws that are subject to a human code. We’re talking about divine laws—something that supersedes moral code, something that could perhaps take shape around the world itself because we’re not talking about little laws within communities; we’re talking about worldwide laws that came from heaven. And you better believe you can’t break those laws. There are very serious punishments for those who do.

Now, someone might say, “All right, I worship God, but I also worship someone else.” This is called association. Regarding this, it is stated in Halacha 6: “One must not associate another entity in the worship of the Creator. This prohibition is called association, meaning it’s still idolatry.”

Within it lies a sensitive point. Here we go, Christian brothers and sisters. Here’s what it says: “The Christian faith, which associates a person in the worship of the Creator…” Christians might say, quote, “No, this person is not someone else. He’s God Himself.” Yeah, but we know that he is merely a human being.

The Noahide movement, as great as it sounds, as morally wonderful as it seems, they know that Jesus is merely a human being. And by the way, I don’t even see His name on there. They don’t put His name on there. They probably don’t even want to put His name on there. But they know that He, Jesus, is merely a human being born of man and of woman, and worshipping Him is considered the prohibition of association, even if it’s meant to connect him to the creator.

So that’s saying right away: you worship Jesus, that’s idolatry. So, just so we understand, this is not a Christian interpretation of what they believe. This is their own teaching, their own language, and they are addressing Christianity specifically.

We see here that a person must worship the Creator alone and must not associate any other entity with Him. Then they bring up Christianity. They acknowledge how Christians would answer: we would say Jesus isn’t some other God that we added alongside the Creator. We say that Jesus—well, what would He actually say? You know what Jesus would say about Himself? That when you see Me, you have seen the Father. Jesus’s own words say, “I and the Father are one.” Those are His words. Scripture says that He is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact imprint of His nature. That is what Christianity teaches about Jesus.

But their response? No. They say He was a human being because they know it, and therefore worshipping Him falls under this prohibition against association. So again, don’t miss what just happened. The disagreement isn’t really about morality. The disagreement is actually about Jesus.

Remember, if they hated Me, who hated Him? The Jews. They’re going to hate you also. Christians, we worship Jesus. We pray in His name. We proclaim Him Lord. We confess to Him that He is the Son of God. We believe what John wrote: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And that Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” There’s only one person who fulfills that, and it’s Jesus.

Scriptural Truths and Definitions of Idolatry

And like I said earlier, Jesus said in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” And even Thomas—you know, I used a lot of these verses when I was talking to Jehovah’s Witnesses about how they diminish Jesus into being some sort of lesser God. But even Thomas, whenever he saw and recognized that Jesus was resurrected from the dead—remember, Thomas doubted at first when he heard about it, but Jesus appeared to him, showed him His wounds, showed Himself alive—right away Thomas fell to the ground and said, “My Lord and my God.” Jesus didn’t rebuke him; He received it.

So, what Christians call worship of God through Jesus Christ, this teaching that I’m sharing with you right now—which is having a massive meeting, a congress to set up Noahide laws that’ll be worldwide—they call this idolatry.

And it gets even clearer. I want to show you something also about this idolatry from Brit Shalom, this teaching, because it has exactly what is forbidden to worship, and the punishment is serious. Chapter 3, part 5 of Brit Shalom by Rabbi Ori Sherki:

“We continue our study of the laws of idolatry which apply both to Israelites and the Noahides in chapter 3: Actions specific to idol worship. Although all forms of idol worship are forbidden, punishment is only incurred if the worship is performed in the manner customary to that specific deity. For example, if a person throws a stone to the Roman god Mercury, this act constitutes worship because throwing stones was a customary way of worshipping that idol. However, if a person throws a stone to another idol that is not worshipped in this way, it remains prohibited but does not incur punishment. In contrast are ritual actions—such as slaughtering an animal, burning an offering, bowing, and pouring libations—they are universally forbidden and punishable even if they’re not customary forms of worship for a particular deity.”

I’m thinking about Daniel right now, how he was forbidden from bowing down and worshipping God. That’s what got him thrown in the lion’s den. I’m going to bow to Jesus; He is my Lord.

Another noteworthy point: any form of idolatry for which a Jewish court would impose punishment is also punishable by a Noahide court. While this principle is theoretical today since no courts currently impose such punishments, it reflects the equality between Jewish and Noahide laws in this manner.

So again, what is forbidden to worship? It is forbidden to worship “other gods,” but who or what falls under these categories?

1. Physical entities: Worshipping a mountain, an animal, or any tangible object as a deity is considered idolatry.
2. Spiritual beings: Worshipping a spiritual entity that has no physical form but is not the Creator of the world is also prohibited.
3. Imaginary beings: If a person invents or imagines a spiritual entity that does not actually exist and worships it, this constitutes idolatry.
4. Human beings: Remember, earlier we saw that Jesus is viewed as a mere human being. But it’s saying idolatry worship of a human being is forbidden. Worshipping a person in any of the forms of ritual worship described (like bowing) is also forbidden, even if the worshipper claims that the person is not the Creator, but rather a manifestation or an incarnation of the divine.

Some might argue, for example, that worshipping a human being who incarnates the Creator—a concept found in Christian theology—does not constitute idolatry because they believe the person represents the Creator. However, the text explicitly rejects this reasoning. The person being worshipped is a created being, not the Creator, and worshipping them is strictly prohibited regardless of theological justification.

Again, they don’t say His name. Why don’t they just say it? Instead of “Him” and “Christian theology,” why don’t they just say His name? What are they afraid of?

So, what’s forbidden? Let’s summarize this: physical things, spiritual beings, imaginary beings, and human beings. And then Christian theology is addressed again without saying Jesus, and it’s rejected as idolatry. Their position is that the person being worshipped is a created being, and therefore worshipping that person—Jesus—remains prohibited.

The Question of Punishment and Political Connections

Now, there’s another part of this that people online are going to focus on, so I want to address it last. It discusses punishment within the historical Noahide legal framework. It says that forms of idolatry punishable by a Jewish court would likewise be punishable by a Noahide court. But right beneath that, as I showed you, it says this principle is theoretical today because no courts currently impose those punishments. But if they were—let’s talk about tomorrow, let’s talk about in the future—do you know what the punishment is for idolatry? It’s death. If you worship an idol, you will be sentenced to death. And so when worshipping Jesus is categorized under idolatry, unless my logic is wrong, Christians, we should understand exactly where we stand.

I got more to show you because this isn’t happening just disconnected from political leaders either. I’m going to show this part quickly to you, alright? This is the Sanhedrin’s letter. The nascent Sanhedrin that exists today like in Bible times sent a letter to President Trump, and you can read this for yourself. This letter thanks President Trump, discusses what it calls a universal moral code, talks about one God, one humanity, one basic law, and presents this as a framework for universal justice and morality.

Now, obviously, that doesn’t mean that the existence of this letter means Donald Trump or any president is going to enforce Noahide laws in the United States, or that America is suddenly operating under a rabbinical court. That’s not what I’m telling you. But there is absolutely a documented effort here to communicate these ideas to literally one of the world’s most powerful political leaders.

And President Trump has been connected to this discussion already before. In fact, here in international news: “Donald J. Trump, Champion of the Noahide Law.” Quote: “During his almost four years in office, Donald Trump has been the greatest supporter of Noahide law in US history.” Even Benjamin Netanyahu, I remember saying that he is the greatest presidential friend of the Jewish people in history.

So, this article is dedicated to observant traditional Jews of the growing Noahide movement in the US and to all Americans of faith. My call to all of you is to personally go to the polls—basically saying vote for President Trump. Orthodox users asked why they support President Trump; they often list his support of Israel and his defense of religious freedom. An often-ignored aspect of this administration has been its promotion of, you guessed it, the Noahide laws and values. Every Torah-observant Jew has heard of the seven Noahide laws. These are seven very broad universal laws with many ramifications that God imposed on all nations when Noah came out of the ark.

Again, you can look at this for yourself. But before someone clips me out of context, I want you to keep reading, because even the author of this article explains that he does not mean Trump imposed Noahide laws on the American public. He says he means Trump’s policies promoted values that he associates with Noahide laws, and that distinction matters. But the connection still exists.

Mainstream Coverage and Ben Shapiro’s Remarks

And so at this point, if you’re still wondering, “Jeremiah, is this really a movement, or is this some fringe website no one’s heard of?”, well, check out the Jerusalem Post article about this Jewish man, Rabbi Ori Sherki, who is behind this movement, and how they describe Noahism as a universal code that Talmudic law applies to Gentiles. And listen, they specifically list the prohibition of idolatry and blaspheming God among the laws.

Judaism is not a proselytizing religion, as you’re going to hear Ben Shapiro say in a second. This is the final video I’m going to share with you here in just a moment. I really want you to hear this, but Rabbi Ori Sherki has no intention of converting anyone to Judaism; he preaches something else called Noahism.

While the rabbis speak of Jewish spiritual power as a global force akin to the Roman Empire or the Catholic Church, in reality, these are people who proudly espouse cultural insularity and have little interest in globalizing. Yet a few blocks away lives an alumnus who puts his money where his mouth is, talking about Noahism, the seven Noahide Commandments. Technically, it’s a universal code of conduct that Talmudic law demands of Gentiles in order for them to inherit the world to come. So, if you want to inherit the world to come, you better abide by these laws. Fascinating.

And so whenever he goes out and he proselytizes—not proselytizing Judaism, it’s this Noahism—it describes gatherings in India where people formally accepted these commandments before an actual religious tribunal. So, this is not merely me saying that this movement exists; this is mainstream Israeli reporting documenting it.

Now we come to something that brings that conversation directly into culture here in America. I want you to listen to what Ben Shapiro says himself:

Audience Member: “I came up here for one reason, because I want to publicly proclaim the name of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ loves everybody. My question for you is: what would it take for you to finally become Christian and accept Jesus?”

Ben Shapiro: “I believe in a full system that belongs to my people and that I’m convinced of in the same way that you’re convinced of your own religion. So, it’s not just a matter of you selling good arguments on Jesus. And by the way, I can say that as a Jew—just Jewish belief—we don’t believe you have to be Jewish in order to get into heaven. It’s kind of a distinction between Judaism and many other religions. In fact, when people try to convert to Judaism, we tell people not to, because it turns out it kind of sucks, as you may have noticed. It kind of puts a target on your back in a lot of different ways, plus there are a bunch of onerous rules that you have to follow. And so, we tell people that if you’re not Jewish, all you have to do is fulfill seven basic rules. They’re called the Noahide Laws. They’re expressed in the book of Genesis. They’re very basic things: don’t kill anybody, please, don’t do kidnapping…”

Real quick, I want to replay that again. He’s speaking at Turning Point USA. He has a national voice, he’s very influential, and I know that he’s Jewish, but I just find it interesting that this is what he’s talking about right now. I’ve heard it said before: nothing in politics happens by accident. The timing is always right. So I want to go back to November—what did I say? November 2nd through the 6th, we have the first congressional congress of it. And here he is proselytizing to that worldview:

Ben Shapiro: “And so, we tell people that if you’re not Jewish, all you have to do is fulfill seven basic rules. They’re called the Noahide Laws. They’re expressed in the book of Genesis. They’re very basic things: don’t kill anybody, please. Don’t do kidnapping. Don’t do theft. Don’t eat the flesh of a living animal. Don’t commit sexual immorality. Don’t blaspheme. And believe in God. Like, these are the very basics. If you do those things, you’re in heaven. So, I mean, why would you possibly want to buy into a system that requires 613 laws and a wide variety of restrictions?”

The Christian Response and Standing Firm

Did you notice the one that he left off? Did you notice the one law out of the seven that he left off? The first one: You shall not commit idolatry.

And just so you know, no matter what your faith and belief is, that word “idolatry” can be applied to anything, maybe even what you believe. I know for sure after this conversation and what we talked about, it is against Christianity. I mean, this is an antichrist philosophy. It’s an antichrist ideology. It doesn’t sound like it should be because it’s Noahide—as a Christian, I obviously believe in Noah. I’m thankful for Noah and his family; it’s part of my belief, it’s part of my heritage. But it’s antichrist, because it doesn’t allow me to believe in who Jesus actually is. In their belief—well, I don’t want to put words in their mouth, but I know that He’s not the Son of God. They might say He was a good teacher, but they probably would say worse.

So listen, I’m not showing you Ben Shapiro here because I think Ben is secretly plotting against Christians—I don’t believe that, alright? I could never say that. He’s Jewish. He’s simply telling you what he believes. And he did a good job at explaining it. Actually, I’d rather people do what he’s doing and tell people plainly why they believe what they believe, rather than pretend there’s no disagreement.

But Christians need to listen carefully to what was just said here. Because when this discussion becomes, “How does a non-Jew get into heaven?”, well, Christianity has an answer, and it’s not the seven laws. It’s not being moral. It’s not being conservative. It’s not supporting Israel. It’s not voting Republican or Democrat, and it’s not even keeping these commandments.

To be a Christian, to go to heaven, the way has always been through Jesus. Jesus said something that our culture increasingly does not want us to say out loud, my friends. It comes from John chapter 14, verse 6. I would love for you to start reading John 14, and then maybe go to 15. Just throwing that out there, I think it would be awesome for you to do that. But Jesus says:

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

There’s no other way. No other way, my friends. I’m going to put that back on the screen for you so you see what we’re up against. There’s not one path among many; He is the way.

Acts 4:12 says:

“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

It is His name. It’s Jesus, and that’s Christianity. And again, I understand how offensive that sounds in the world that we live in right now. Like I said, Jesus said, “If they hated Me, they’re going to hate you also.” He is divisive. That’s why He said, “I didn’t come to bring peace, I came to bring a sword.” He will divide because He is the only way.

I mean, you can believe Jesus was a teacher—that’s fine. You can believe He was a prophet—great. Under this movement, you can believe that He taught and loved people; everybody loves that about Jesus. But say that He’s Lord, say He’s the Son of God, say that Jesus died for our sins and physically rose from the dead—which is awesome, because He really did, He conquered death—and tell people that you must repent and turn to faith in Him, and that there’s no salvation in anyone else? Now you’ve crossed the line.

As Christians, we need to understand something: we can’t solve this tension by creating a watered-down version of Jesus that everyone can agree on. That is not the faith. That is not the courage. I don’t have a lion in my background for no reason. We are called to be bold. Our identity is in Jesus. Jesus is the dividing line.

So when Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?”, Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” He wasn’t afraid. And Jesus said, “Flesh and blood didn’t reveal that to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” That is a confession of our faith, my friends. And if the day comes when worshipping Jesus is called idolatry, I’ll be the first one to say, “Call me an idolater.” If confessing that Jesus is God offends the world, I’m sorry, I’m going to be offensive to the world. If saying He’s the only way is considered intolerant and punishable by death, believe me, I’ll be ready to go.

I’m just saying: do not deny Him. He gave His life for you, and we’re called to live our lives for Him. So we have to know our Word. We have to know what the Bible actually says, what God says, and realize that we are in a war. It’s against the spirit of the antichrist, and it’s rising up right now in many different ways. Many, many different ways—you sense it, I can sense it, that’s why we’re here.

So yes, my friends, Christians, we should know what is happening in Jerusalem. We should understand the Noahide movement. We should understand what these laws teach and understand what is being said about Jesus. But above everything else, we need to know who we believe Jesus is, because I believe that question is going to matter more and more in the days ahead.

The question isn’t going to be, “Do you believe in God?” Lots of people will say they believe in God. The question isn’t going to be, “Are you a moral person?” Lots of religions teach morality. The question is the same question Jesus asked 2,000 years ago: Who do you say that I am?

And my answer is this: Jesus Christ, He is Lord. Jesus, You are the Son of God. You are the Word made flesh. He died for my sins, He rose from the grave, and He’s coming again. And there is salvation in no other name. And that’s not hatred, that’s not fear—that is the Gospel, and I for one am not ashamed of it. Hallelujah.
