An Islamic Antichrist… Not So Fast… PART 2

In Part #1 of this article, we discussed the potential rise of the end times one world religion, under the Antichrist, through the Noahide laws.

Are the Noahide laws really part of a coming plot to execute Christians? That claim requires some enormous leaps in logic and ultimately starts sounding a lot like an old antisemitic conspiracy

In review, the Noahide Laws are seven laws, some rising out of God’s covenant with Noah in Genesis 9, some coming from other Old Testament texts. Thes laws were complied from the Jewish Talmud, not directly from the scripture.

The Talmud is the Rabbinic tradition, a sort of commentary on what they believe Jewish religion is and ought to be. To be sure, it is inconsistent with the word of God and rejects Jesus as the Jewish messiah and Savior of the world, in vulgar ways.

Popular Jewish Rabbi Maimonides (1135-1204) declared these laws are to govern not the Jews, but the Gentiles, under Jewish rule. The Noahide conference in conjunction with the Temple Institute, are seeking to begin the foundation for this one world religion, and enforcement system, at the First Noahide Conference, on November 6th, 2026.

Under this system, the only viable punishment for breaking the Noahide Laws is decapitation.

“Maimonides states that a non-Jew under Jewish authority who does not accept the seven Noahide laws is to be executed, as God compelled the world to follow these laws”.[89][90]

From <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah>

Below is a copy of the Noahide Laws…

  • Avoid idolatry and acknowledge a single Creator under the name “Hashem” which means “The Name”
  • Do not curse God: Do not commit blasphemy or verbally curse the Creator.
  • Do not murder: Do not take a human life, as human life has infinite value.
  • Do not commit sexual immorality: Prohibits incest, adultery, and other illicit sexual relations.
  • Do not steal: Do not commit robbery or theft of any kind.
  • Do not eat a limb from a live animal: Do not cause unnecessary cruelty to animals or consume flesh torn from a living creature.
  • Establish courts of justice: Set up legal systems and courts to enforce these laws and maintain a fair, orderly society. [1, 2]

Of particular interest to us, is the one which we would break by simply praying in the name of Jesus Christ. Let me explain.

In Jewish rabbinic tradition, blaspheming “The Ineffable Name of God” is punishable in only one manner, death by decapitation. The Talmud and rabbinic tradition, tell you the “Ineffable Name of God” refers to the Tetragrammaton, or YHWH, which English translates as LORD.

Where does the true “Ineffable Name of God” come from?

Exodus 3:13-1413 Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” 4 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.’”

 “I AM WHO I AM” translated directly is “YHWH”, in English we add vowels and pronounce it “Yahweh”. What this “Ineffable Name” means is “I EXIST”.

Germaine to our conversation is how the Jews responded to our Lord Jesus using this name concerning Himself.

John 8:52-59 52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’ 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?” 54 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

In one fell swoop our Lord Jesus Christ declared Himself to be the One with the “Ineffable Name”… YHWH. He is God Almighty Himself (John 1:1-5, 14; Colossians 1:15-18, 2:9; Hebrews 1:1-3). The Jews attempted to kill Him for it.

Why would this be a problem for Christians?

Because, to the Noahide Conference and the Temple Institute, the “Ineffable Name of God” is not YHWH, but the phrase “The Name” or “Hashem” in their modern native tongue. To Noahides, or Gentiles of animistic, pagan, false monotheism, their god’s name can be implied by them into “Hashem”, but ours cannot, because the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in anyone one’s native tongue, is singularly special.

Philippians 2:5-11 5Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

 The name of the Lord Jesus the Christ…

  1. Yeshua Hamachiach (Hebrew)
  2. 主耶稣基督  (Chinese)
  3. Yasūʿ al-Masīḥ (Arabic)
  4. le Seigneur Jésus-Christ (French)
  5. Il Signore Gesù Cristo (Italian)
  6. Gospodin Isus Krist (Croatian)
  7. el Señor Jesucristo (Spanish)

You get the point, I hope, that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, spoken in any tongue is “The Name” above every name, including the Noahide “Hashem” or “The Name”, from thier on purpose error.

How accurate and foreseeing is the LORD our GOD.

Therefore, we can see the difficult spot, a Noahide, one world religion would place Christians in.

Revelation 20:4 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

For Christians in America, this may present as a fearful and worrisome development, but it need not be. For anyone who seeks to live godly in Christ Jesus, they will suffer persecution (II Timothy 3:12).

This is an inescapable truth, and most who of the readers, who have gotten this far, have faced some level of rejection or difficulty for loving the Lord–seeking to obey His word– and asking questions that Christian leaders don’t like to answer or discuss.

Most of the readers have attempted to live their faith in the world and feel the pressure to capitulate to silence. The time has come for us to understand His grace is sufficient to sustain us and to consider it a blessing to suffer for Christ.

2 Corinthians 12:9-11 9And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Philippians 3:10-11 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

 Acts 5:40-42 40 And they agreed with him, and when they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

James 1:2-4 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

There will be a day, when the gloves are off, the mask is removed and Antichrist rages against the Body of Christ, in America as in the world already, but we fear not, for our God is victorious in Christ.

Therefore, be sober, and unafraid, at what may come, our God is with us, Jesus will never leave us or forsake us.
