I first heard the Brandon Heath - "Your Love" hit song on the K-LOVE radio station, and it is still as inspirational and uplifting as it was for me over 13 years ago.

*TABLE Subversive NOAHIDE Foreign Intervention for Unbelievers and JUSTIFY COMMONWEALTH/POLITY IN ISRAEL for Believers*
*KEY TERMS:
+ Noahide Laws (also called the 7 Laws of Noah): are moral/ethical rules imagined out of Talmudic Religious lore (tradition) about presumed life demands from God to Adam and to Noah. (NOTE: The Talmud is the Rabbinical Judaism "Oral Torah," which is "EXTRA-BIBLICAL," and not an official Biblical Canon. It is on the same level as the Catholic Catechism. Also, Rabbinical Judaism emerged after the destruction of the 2nd Jewish Temple, and should never be confused with Ancient Temple Judaism.)
+ Commonwealth/Polity of Israel: the grouping of Non-Jewish Converts to Jewish/Judaism-style Religion into a political unit of government, state, or social organization in the "Modern State of Israel" under Israeli Sovereignty (w/ Religious COMMON GOOD "Liberty and Justice" for all)
+ Jewish/Judaism-style Religion: is Abrahamic/Monotheistic Religion, such as Rabbinical Judaism, and Messianic Judaism-Christianity (that emerged after the destruction of the 2nd Jewish Temple) which includes the spiritual and legal traditions carried by the Jewish People
+ Believers: are converts to Jewish/Judaism-style Religion, and followers of the Biblical Canons and Covenants (including understandings from the Pentateuch/Mosaic Law, such as the 10 Commandments, and the "4 Prohibitions" from Acts 15:29; 21:25)
+ Unbelievers: are usually sinners who do not reverence the God of Judaism, and call on the Lord God-Adonai
The organized spread of Noahidism as a Monotheistic Religious movement for Non-Jewish Nations would be a SUBVERSIVE MISGUIDING of Unbelievers about the extent to which they would ever clean up their Secular/Pagan act, and stand upright on God's Earth outside of the necessary need to reverence the "ONE TRUE GOD" (the God of Judaism), while under the influence of the Gospel (God's spell) as hearers of the "Good News" (from the Holy Bible) with faith.
*CLUES that DISPEL NOAHIDISM:
+ The WHOLE EARTH before the Flood did not care "AT ANY, AT ALL" about any notion of Noahide Laws, because the Earth was full of violence, and they were exceedingly wicked/evil at their imaginations (SEE Genesis 6:5,11,13).
+ There is no Biblical and historical evidence that Noah lived by any of the Noahide Laws, especially the Noahide Law that directs the establishment of justice courts. According to the Book of Genesis, Chapter 9:20-21, Noah was simply a farmer, who planted a vineyard, lived in a tent, drank of the wine of his vineyard, and was drunken. Besides, Noah was not the "best judge ever," because he released a very powerful UNJUST AND MISDIRECTED CURSE TO CANAAN (Genesis 9:25), despite the presence of Ham (the Father of Canaan), who was in fact the violator. As the story goes, Ham gazed upon the nakedness of Noah, and told his brothers Shem and Japheth. Then, Noah awakened and cursed Canaan to be "servant of servants, of Shem and Japheth" (Genesis 9:25-27).
+ Laughably, by the "Tower of Babel" period, Noahites had nothing to do with Noahidism. According to Genesis 11, the descendants of Noah (Noahites) journeyed to a plain in the Land of Shinar and built a tower in the city Babel (which was in the Kingdom of Nimrod, who was Ham's great-grandson, and the "Mighty Hunter before the Lord," as understood in Genesis 10:8-10). Besides, to remain a concentrated cult, they unified their language and changed their name, lest they be scattered abroad all over the face of the Earth (Genesis 11:4). They were no longer admittedly Noahites, because they violated the Genesis 9:1 command from God to Noah (and his Sons) to "be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth," which could mean that they were expected to "scatter abroad all over the face of the whole Earth."
+ Historically, Israel never had large-scale Empire-style legal jurisdiction over the whole World of Non-Jewish Peoples, even as a "Light unto the Gentile Nations" (Isaiah 42:6; 49:6; 60:3). Israel was commissioned by God to be a light to the Gentiles FROM THE LAND OF ISRAEL as a Holy, Righteous, and Just People who should live by a Religious and Civil order attractive enough to cause Non-Jewish to desire salvation (as it is understood in Judaism Religion). Accordingly, Non-Jewish could then draw nigh unto Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple, where prayers would get heard because of proximity to the Lord God's "Shekhinah Glory dwelling on Earth," i.e., the "Holy of Holies." In fact, Jewish Temple Authorities never even tried to enforce Mosaic Law (and the non-existent Noahide Laws) on the Non-Jewish in the Court of the Gentiles at the Jewish Temple. Moreover, Circumcision is the covenant God made with Abraham, yet the Non-Jewish in the Court of the Gentiles were permitted to remain Uncircumcised. In the Jewish Temple, the Temple Authorities, such as the Priests and Sanhedrin practiced leniency towards the Uncircumcised Gentiles (in the Court of the Gentiles), who were not required to convert to Judaism. (NOTE: The Jewish Temple was considered to be a "House of Prayer for all Nations.") Honestly, this is an attempt by Rabbinical Judaism Rabbis to overstep their bounds and misguide Gentile Nations with moral and ethical standards/rules that Unbelievers could not possibly live up to without the foundational Religious beliefs (about divine retribution and the afterlife) from Biblical law and order.
So...how should Israel extend their divinely inspired influence to the World? Israel should illuminate their light as the Israel of the "Promised Land," because the better plan has been God's plan all along (Genesis 12:7; 15:18; 17:8). Accordingly, Israel should present that their Biblically inspired CIVILIZATIONAL ORDER is open to Believers (Non-Jewish Converts) in the "Modern State of Israel" in the "Promised Land" regions outside of--Canaan--where Jewish have inheritance to ideally concentrate in their Tribal lands. Therefore, the Non-Jewish Converts deserve "Time & Space" in Israel to live out Biblically inspired political, legal, and social order as "Citizens of the Commonwealth/Polity of Israel" (Ephesians 2). SEE BELOW a snippet from my August 28, 2024 Blogger post:
--------------
The "Promised Land"/"Land of Israel" is roughly 3 geographical regions: Northern Israel (from Mt. Hermon to the Great River Euphrates, including Hamath), Central Israel (Tribal Israel, including the reservations of the "12 Tribes of Israel"), and Southern Israel (from Beersheba to Eilat, including Negev). The "Commonwealth/Polity of Israel" is actually Northern Israel and Southern Israel, where Non-Jewish Converts have the "RIGHT OF SETTLEMENT & REFUGE" (as Wild Olive Shoots grafted into the roots of the Jewish Olive Tree, described in Romans 11), while the Jewish have the "RIGHT OF NATIVITY" in Central Israel. To stabilize the land (and regions) under Israeli Sovereignty, the "Citizens of the Commonwealth/Polity of Israel" (Non-Jewish Converts described in Ephesians 2) should settle into Northern Israel, and Southern Israel.

*REVELATORY EPIPHANY 6.1.26*
+ END TIMES CLUE: When a World ruler moves to replace ANNO DOMINI (AD) (in the year of our Lord) to change the TIMES AND SEASONS, then beware because that character is probably the ANTICHRIST. (SEE Daniel 7:25) (NOTE: ANNO DOMINI is the widely used World dating system for counting years [for World trade purposes].)
+ Israel, as the Promised Land, should be declared a Nation-State under ANNO MUNDI (AM) in respect of the ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD (SEE Luke 4:18-19; Isaiah 61:1-2)

Will the NATIONAL SABBATH lead to a National Sunday Day of Rest?
In America, YES. Trump's recent signing of the Shabbat 250 proclamation that "...Jewish Americans are encouraged to observe a national Sabbath. From sundown on May 15 to nightfall on May 16" sets the stage for National Religious mandates where the Head of State can officially decree any particular day to be set apart for Religious observance, such as Sunday. The Christian Nationalists' influence is so strong throughout Trump's MAGA movement that it is highly likely that Trump will declare SUNDAY to be a NATIONAL DAY OF REST for all Americans to observe the "LORD'S DAY," during the current Presidential Administration. (Sounds THEO-DEMOCRATIC to me. 😕)
