There is, at present, a worldwide movement with many points of entry (Lubavitcher Movement, Nazarene Movement, Hebraic Roots/Messianic Movement, Latter Rain/Roman Catholic Year of Jubilee) to bring all of mankind under the Old Testament Law. These trendy movements to adopt the customs and feasts of the Mosaic Covenant are effectively laying the groundwork to mobilize the Church for Jay Gary‘s call to “experience the Jubilee” Year in AD 2000 and be “reconciled to our spiritual roots.” Jay Gary wrote in The Star of 2000:
“The annual calendar of Israel was built around three major festivals: Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles… The Year of Jubilee encompassed these three festivals, only raised to a higher power …Then, as well as today, Jesus calls us to experience His jubilee… It’s time to blow the ancient trumpet. It’s time to be reconciled to our spiritual roots.” (pp.84-5)
This massive movement also seems to be leading toward the global establishment of the Noahide Laws (already U.S. law), for which disobedience the penalty is beheading (Rev. 20:4) The Encyclopedia of Judaism lists these seven universal laws and indicates their binding nature on all Gentiles:
“Full-page ads in the New York Times and other newspapers have proclaimed: ‘All nations of the world: Fulfill the 7 universal Noahide Laws given to you in the Torah of Moses.’… One additional element of greater severity is that violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the Noahide to capital punishment by decapitation. (Sanh. 57A)”
The Encyclopedia of Judaism identifies the Babylonian Talmud (T.B.) as the source of “The Noachide Laws.”
According to Maimonides, acceptance — on the basis of the Bible — of the seven universal precepts means that any such righteous Gentile is numbered with ‘the pious ones among the nations of the world…deserving a share in the world to come’ (Tosef. Sanh 13.2)
(1) Civil justice [the duty to establish a legal system]; (2) Prohibition of blasphemy [which includes the bearing of false witness]; (3) The abandonment of idolatry; (4) The prohibition of incest [including adultery and other sexual offenses]; (5) The prohibition of murder; (6) Also that of theft; (7) The law against eating flesh [a limb] cut from a living animal [ie., cruelty in any shape or form] (T.B. Sanh. 56A)
Hebrew scholar, Eliezer Segal, documents that the Babylonian Talmud (T.B.) is a commentary on the Mishnah composed by Babylonian Jewish sages (Ravs) from the early third to the sixth century. Although it is claimed by the Lubavitch, Nazarene and Hebraic Roots Movements that the source of the 7 Noahide Laws is the Torah (Genesis-Deuteronomy), the evidence of history proves that the Talmud and Mishnah are derived from Babylonian traditions that Jesus said contradicted and nullified the teaching of Scripture. Likewise, the “root” of the Hebraic Roots Movement is not the written Torah given to Moses, but rather the occult traditions adopted from the mystery religions of ancient Babylon.
