The Path of the
Righteous Gentile
I was not a big fan of the Bnei Noach
movement.
I, believing that I was a member
of the Northern Kingdom, thought being
a
Bnei Noach was what Gentiles were.
And I was NOT a Gentile.

It is so hard to agree upon terminology, because the
meaning of words change and are used differently over the course of
time.
In reality, all of those from the Northern Kingdom are
LOST. They have BECOME Gentiles. In Hosea, the prophet says
that they are now NOT a people. So to come from being lost among the Gentiles
to be recognized as a righteous Gentile, is a HUGE step.
In his book,
"Israel and Humanity", Rabbi Elijah Benamozegh writes:
Noachidism forms the first step of the
ladder which the Israelite must climb
before attaining the Mosaic Law.

So there is a necessity, for
those who will form the northern kingdom, to first be
established as Noachides.
This is NOT a backward step, but
a step that leads the House of Israel back under the
umbrella of the people of the God of Israel.
The additional
step of taking on the entire
yoke of the law and to be willing
to submit to the authority of the House of Judah, brings the Hose of
Israel through a
necessary process of humility and submission before God.
A process that starts with the
seven Noachide Laws.
