On September 25, the 5,780th anniversary of the day on which Jewish tradition holds the world was created, the Sanhedrin is holding a conference for the emerging Organization of 70 Nations. The conference will culminate in an animal sacrifice made by representatives of the nations on the Mount of Olives in which they will renew the covenant made by Noah upon leaving the Ark.
The Conference and 70 Nations
The conference will begin on Wednesday evening, September 25, the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Elul at the Jerusalem Gate Hotel and continue until Friday, September 27. Lectures and discussions will focus on the Noahide obligations incumbent upon all of mankind. Also discussed will be the universal economic, cultural, educational that should be the focus of such an organization. A major focus will also be the establishment of an international court based on Bible principles.
God established the borders of the world based on the 70 children of Israel who went down to Egypt and the 70 nations that came out from Noah. The concept of 70 nations also appears in reference to the 70 oxen offered in the Temple throughout Sukkot (the feast of the tabernacles) which the Talmud (Sukkah 55b) teaches are for the merit of the 70 nations.
The organization emphasizes that every nation will keep its unique and distinct national identity, cultural heritage, language, and recognized borders.
In attendance will be official representatives of several nations: Representing Guatemala, Vice president of the Republic of Guatemala Jafeth Ernesto Cabrera Franco as well as several of his advisers. There will also be official delegations from El Salvador, Mexico, Honduras, Bolivia, Trinidad Tobago, and Costa Rica. Many other countries have yet to commit to attending. Several of the delegates are parliamentarians of their respective countries.
Universal Prayer
The first day of the conference will end with a joint prayer by all the participants. Rabbi Yeshayahu Hollander, the Sanhedrin’s Foreign Minister has been tasked with composing the unique prayer for the special occasion.
“Religion is a difficult word,” Rabbi Hollander said. “An individual does not need a religion to relate to God. Adam did not need religion to speak to God. Religion is an activity that a community does together. Nations were established with Noah and then there became a need for religion. We need to come together as distinct nations and religions.”
“A nation has the attributes that define it but it also needs a religion,” Rabbi Hollander said, suggesting that the United Nations lacked this attribute. “An organization of nations necessarily needs to be religious, 70 nations under God, but not any specific common religion.”
Noahide Principles Incumbent on all of Mankind
Much of the conference will be dedicated to the seven principles incumbent upon all mankind given to Noah after the Biblical flood. A lecture on the subject will be given by the chairman of Brit Olam – Noahide World Center Rabbi Oury Cherki. Rabbi Hollander, who also sits on the board of the Brit Olam organization, is convinced that universal adherence to the Noahide laws is necessary for the existence of civilization.
“If you read history you will see that the Hebraicists of the 17th century believed in a minimum basis which society needs in order to exist,” Rabbi Hollander said. “This is clearly true in the Noahide law to establish courts of law. All of the laws are required by a nation and not by an individual. An international, or multinational organization, needs to establish the basics required for the survival of civilization.”
Knesset and Sacrifice
As part of the conference, the representatives will visit the Temple Mount and pay an official visit to the Knesset with the Sanhedrin.
On Friday, the conference will culminate in a trip to the Mount of Olives where the nations will be invited to reenact the ceremony first performed by Noah upon exiting the Ark.
Then Noach built an altar to Hashem and, taking of every clean animal and of every clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar. Genesis 8:20
The ceremony will renew the covenant made between mankind and God at that time.
“I now establish My covenant with you and your offspring to come, and with every living thing that is with you—birds, cattle, and every wild beast as well—all that have come out of the ark, every living thing on earth. I will maintain My covenant with you: never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” Genesis 9:9-11
This sacrifice made by Noah was a Korban Olah (a sacrifice that goes up), a tribute to God that was entirely burnt on the altar.
“Just as Noah was not Jewish but was a servant of God, this ceremony is a declaration that mankind is serving Hashem (God, literally, ‘the name’),” Rabbi Weiss explained. The altar must be built and the sacrifice made by someone from the nations who keeps the seven Noahide laws. It is still unclear
“This is a religious act but not for any specific religion,” Rabbi Weiss said. “This is a meta-religion, not a global religion, which is inherent in every person and expressed in his own way. The world needs to return to religion. Rejecting religion, rejecting God, is a sickness that is afflicting the world. Secularism rejects human values. The UN declared abortion and euthanasia to be human rights. This is a sign of sickness. The concept of family, a father, and mother, is a basic human quality reinforced by religion and rejected by secularism. The concept of belonging to a nation, to a tribe, to a people, is rejected by secularism. Man was given the mandate to care for the world but they have turned people into animals and animals into people. It is impossible to continue like this.”
Return of the Lost Ten Tribes
Another purpose of the conference and the organization of the 70 Nations is to begin the return of the lost ten-tribes of Israel.
“The establishment of the modern State of Israel began the process of the ingathering of the exiles,” Rabbi Weiss explained. “In the past, people who were descended from Jews would fade away and never return. We are blessed to live in an age when so many of these people are discovering their roots in the Jewish people and are reconnecting to this. But the next step is to raise awareness so that the lost ten-tribes of Israel can return as well, as prophesied.”
And you shall declare to them: Thus said Hashem: I am going to take B’nei Yisrael from among the nations they have gone to, and gather them from every quarter, and bring them to their own land. Ezekiel 37:21
Towards this end, Rabbi Eliyahu Birnbaum who travels the world looking for hidden descendants of Jews will be the first keynote speaker to address the conference.
The 70 Nations initiative began last year at the World Creation Concert when high-ranking delegations from Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico signed a declaration saying:
“We, as representatives of our nations, declare that according to the laws of Torah that God to Moses at Mount of Sinai, and according to the prophets of Israel and all the books of the Bible we wish to accompany the people of God, the people of Israel, to the place chosen by God, the Temple on Mount, Moriah, the place of binding the of Isaac.
“All this in order to serve only the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as it is written:
‘That my house will becalled a house of prayer to ALL peoples’
We are all gathered together in the name of peace and love with the people of Israel in the courtyards of the House of God as the sages of Israel and to fulfill the messianic vision of peace.”
God blessed Abraham by saying, ‘They that will bless you will be blessed.’ We pray that by blessing Israel today, we, in turn, will be blessed.”
Seventy Nations: Principles
The Seventy Nations organization is directed at all of mankind who accept G-d as the creator of the world and who recognize his leadership as He appears in the annals of the world and the universe. The Bible relates to God as He is known in the individual lives of all beings, in the history and language of all nations both for creating and destroying, for reward and for punishment. Just as God reveals Himself in the Bible and declares His laws and precepts, so the purpose of man in history to serve Him through the medium of the Temple as He wills it, and through the power of His holiness that comes from Zion.
All humanity, all Peoples both individually and in multi-faceted groupings, are descendants of Adam and Eve. All were created in the image of G-d and called “Man”. All humanity survived the “flood” and committed themselves to follow the joint covenant with G-d by following those basic laws and precepts whose violation brought on the destruction of mankind in the time of Noah. And to await for G-d’s mercy.
The basic breaches of G-d’s laws are the following: revolt against G-d, lack of justice, forbidden sexual relations, murder, stealing and robbery, worshipping a false G-d, inflicting damage to life as it is lived through illegal and unbridled greed.
These breaches in a positive tone are expressed as the covenant of the Noachites.
The Seventy Nations organization envisions the redemption and rehabilitation of man and the whole world. It respects the honor of all mankind, the family, tribe, the country, and the state and their individual and collective freedoms. It carries out this principle by protecting the rights and obligations of all in an equal manner according to the laws of the Bible and international justice based on the Bible.
The organization will concern itself with the protection of the globe, the just distribution of resources and the avoidance of theft and the results of excessive greed.
The organization will protect the culture, the language, the territories and borders of all nations, states, and societies.
The organization does not accept rule of man over man of any kind.
The organization recognizes and accepts the concept of the uniqueness of the people of Israel according to the laws of the Bible, It expects that the people of Israel and its leaders will operate according to the will behave according to the expections from a nation of a society of priests and a holy people.
The Essence of the organization
An international court will sit in Jerusalem and judge according to the important and recognized laws of the Bible as adjusted to actual facts of life.
All members of the organization, states, nations, ethnic groups, tribes will have a seat and equal voting powers in the court of law as long as they accompany the people of Israeli as it appears in the covenant composed by the Sanhedrin in 2018 and signed by a number of countries.
The Seventy Nations and the nations that signed the original covenant mentioned above will compose the court and all decisions will be decided upon by a simple majority vote.
The role of the Sanhedrin will be to consult with and advise the court but the Sanhedrin cannot force its opinion upon the court. It will have one seat and one vote on the court.
All decisions will be made according to a vote including all members.
If more than seventy bodies join the organization the court will determine the division of seats.
All members of the organization will cooperate in building the Temple on Mount Moriah according to their own individual desires and can visit it as they choose when it is built.

Author’s Note: There have been many comments and questions concerning the sacrifice. The source for performing it is as follows: Rambam Mishneh Torah – Maaseh Hakorbanot 19:16 Gentiles are permitted to offer burnt offerings to God in all places, provided they sacrifice them on a raised structure that they build. It is forbidden to help them [offer these sacrifices] or act as agents for them, for we are forbidden to sacrifice outside [the Temple Courtyard]. It is permitted to instruct them and teach them how to sacrifice to the Almighty, blessed be He

A quick search found that the Talmud is a collection of writings. Those writings were written over the period of the 2nd - 5th Century AD.
The 10 Commandments are from Moses' trip up the mountain -- but as the Israelites remained (for the most part) on the plain below, they could hear the commandments as they were pronounced. So, about 1450 BC.
The Babylonian Talmud and the Jerusalem Talmud are similar but not identical; they were written during the period of rabbinical Judaism, IOW, after the destruction of the First Temple by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar (about 586 BC). The Babylonian Talmud, at least, was comprehensively edited in the middle ages, because most Jews (particularly the learned Jews, the rabbis) still lived in the former heart of Babylon.
The Jews of India descend for the most part from a small colonizing group from Baghdad which nearly met its end when the ship cracked up on the Indian coast.
The Jews of Tunisia (especially the isle of Djerba) by their own tradition got there because of the destruction of the First Temple; the El Ghriba synagogue is purportedly the oldest in the world. Rather than rabbis, the Jews of Djerba have kohens (descendants of Aaron).
Talmud
Between the 2nd and 5th centuries CE these rabbinic discussions about the Mishnah were recorded in Jerusalem and later in Babylon (now Al Hillah in Iraq).

Bible
https://www.biblica.com/resources/bible-faqs/when-was-the-bible-written/
the actual transcription, writing down of the Talmud, was generally between 100 and 500 (so it started about the time of the gospel of John and went forward)... but it was a massive effort ... recording what had been the entire (or at least a very substantial part) of the received oral teachings going back to the time of Moses and Sinai. the teaching is, of course, that the Talmud(s) was given to Moses at Sinai at the same time as the 10 commandments, partly to explain what they meant and how they are to be understood and applied, and also filling in some essential details to the “Biblical” teachings
however, some sections of the Talmud clearly represent events or conditions known to have occurred later than that, so the best we can say is that it probably contains much material from the Biblical age and when it was written down then some additional material or editing had to take place.
ask a faithful Jew and you’ll be told it was taught from Gd to Moses while he was up the mountain.... ask a scholar and he’ll tell you it obviously contains some ancient material but clearly went through development with some additions in the later years, including while it was being transcribed
as with all this stuff from long ago, things develop.. you can see this development in the understanding about Jesus if you just start with Paul, the earliest canonized writer, who had nothing whatsoever unusual to report about Jesus’ birth and whose Christology, if you will, while somewhat ambiguous was pretty clearly more of the greek type than the eventual trinitarian doctrine.........................and then look at the earliest gospel Mark... an adoptionist sort of Christology.. again nothing special about Jesus’ birth or youth...being called out adopted at his baptism....... then get to Matthew and Luke.. and while differing somewhat, they believed Jesus had a special birth and his special status deriving from then.................finally of course the latest gospel of John, with the most extensive Christology with Jesus pre-existing his birth, etc etc. but still not a modern style trinity yet as that doctrine developed over the next 300 years or so to its present day form
not saying who is right or wrong.
just saying that accounts or understandings or stories or doctrines do tend to develop over time
sorry for ramble, hope something above is helpful
best,
fhc
yes, in that close by area, which is my little theory that perhaps Jesus’ objection was just THAT, since he’d never object to ditching (trading in) the idolatrous Roman and Greek coinage... keeping them out of the sacred temple grounds....putting the exchange tables clearly OUTSIDE and perhaps out of sight.. would have solved that problem better , much better, than putting the tables right by the front door or in the outer entry, courtyard, etc... this would have been very consistent with Jesus’ overall worship, faith principles as I understand them.........but this is only my idea .....
Save a sheep. Sacrifice an Muzzie.
They have “fallen from Grace” ...
At least they recognize they have sins that need atoning for but they choose the wrong venue...how .....Old Covenant...
I know for a fact that a great majority of Torah Sages reject this so-called "sanhedron" outright. I've also read that they're involved in the ecumenical movement. This could be the Jewish version of the Amazon synod.
While it's nice that someone is standing up for traditional Biblical chronology, I'd stay far away.
You don't care what G-d wants. What an attitude.
You're assuming chrstianity is true. Funny how everyone does that without even thinking about it.
The Ark was not in the Second Temple a d didn’t prevent it from being the Temple.
Oh, so that's what this is about--the evil "Talmudic" new world order. I should have known.
The so-called Ten Commandments (which the Bible itself calls the "Ten Words" or "ten utterances") are not being replaced. They have never applied to non-Jews--not ever. The Noachide Laws were given to Adam in the Garden of Eden, repeated in a modified form to Noah after the Flood (this is the covenant non-Jews live under today), and given final form at Mt. Sinai. If you think the Left supports the universal moral demands of A-mighty G-d then you apparently haven't noticed the kind of stuff the Left promotes.
I wonder . . . do you object to any universally true religion? Is every potentially universally true religion (which is just about all of them) a suspect of being the new world order? Doesn't chrstianity claim to be a universal religion? Or perhaps you would prefer a different "gxd" and religion for every ethnic group under the sun? That would certainly stop all this "race mixing."
The whole point of the "new world order" is that it is a false counterpart to something true and from G-d. Only an ethnolatrous palaeocon would object to the final universal triumph of the One G-d.
The Noahide Laws are also deduced from God’s admonitions to the people before the revelation at Sinai. It’s the ancient Jewish answer to the question of what moral laws were expected of people before Mt. Sinai. Did Cain know he was sinning?
Oh yes I'm sure you know all about it. Never mind that they know the (unwritten) laws for correctly transcribing the Torah so it looks exactly like the one first written down by Moses. They don't have a Thomas Nelson printed translation like you do.
If any book is like the "book of mormon," it's the "new testament."
According to chrstianity. The issue is whether or not chrstianity is actually true. It's hardly self-evident, as you seem to think.
The "Ten Commandments" (as chrstians wrongly call them) are part of the Holy Torah, which was written before the universe was created. "Talmud" (which means "learning") is actually a form of logic and study of the Oral Torah that was given along with the Written Torah on Mt. Sinai. There was a whole routine of study by the entire Jewish nation which is summarized in one of Rambam's works (I'm not sure which one, though it's probably Mishneh Torah). This oral instruction was passed on from generation to generation and was actually forbidden to be written down until the days of the evil Emperor Hadrian (rot his bones!). He unleashed such a persecution on the Jews that the Oral Torah was actually in danger of being totally lost (G-d forbid!). In such a case it was permitted to write it down to conserve it for posterity.
The set of volumes called the "Talmud" consist of two parts: the Mishnah and the Gamarah. The Mishnah was finalized by Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi' in the third chrstian century. The Gamarah was finalized in the fourth century. It is not a mere list of laws but contains arguments and discussions on almost every issue because what it is trying to teach is not merely laws but the method of Halakhic reasonig demanded by the Oral Torah as conveyed to Moses.
I know Catholics and Orthodox hypocritically hate the Talmud (after all, they all exalt their own unwritten traditions and post-Biblical writings), but it's a shame to see American Fundamentalist Protestants falling for this Nazi nonsense.
And by the way--please save your time and don't start re-fighting the Reformation here. That's a Catholic/Protestant thing and has absolutely no meaning in the context of Torah.
Fine, but will this “religion of religions”, peacefully accept Christians? Nope. Kinda cements the obvious.
My mistake. It was the fifth chrstian century, as another poster pointed out. I regret the error.
“trying to teach is not merely laws but the method of Halakhic reasoning”
That makes your position no better than those of the Catholics,Orthodox, and especially the protestants.
You speak of a “method” of interpretation demanded by the Oral Torah but that still sounds like the “traditions and rituals of men”. Messiah, as I admittedly understand him to be(and accept the fact that you don’t; just admitting my own prebias.), had criticized the religious leaders of his day for following such traditions and methods of interpretation, INSTEAD of the direct commands of the Torah itself.
So are you not simply declaring a pox on the Christians while not admitting to the pustulating lesions you yourself are scraping in vain but finding no relief for the same itch?
Good luck with attributing the consistency of the Torah to the actions of a group of men, instead of giving Abba Father YHWH the Glory!
This is the Greatest Story Ever Told! The End was Determined from The Beginning. Everyone plays their part in getting to the appointed set of events at the appointed times.
The question is: Where are you going to be in the next cycle? In the New Heaven or in Perdition? Is your name in the Book of Life?
