What is a person’s role on earth?

Why does everyone have the quality, nature of a unique genome? Is there life after death?

The answers to these basic questions, which everyone has been pondering since the dawn of history are found in the Torah. The Torah teaches us that at the beginning of human history, from Adam to Noah, there were no laws on earth. Everyone did what they wanted. During these generations, humans lived to a fairly old age. A man lived 930 years and Methuselah broke the record of longevity when he lived to 969 years, as is written in the Bible. Since they were not subject to any law, human beings were devoted to debauchery.

This is why G-d sent the flood that wiped out the inhabitants of the earth and saved a family that was on the ark: Noah, his wife and their three children – Ham, Shem and Japheth. Thus G-d promised to never again destroy the earth and that there would be no more flood. Therefore, we can be calm, there will be no apocalypse.

Noah’s Ark was found and identified several years ago on Mt. Ararat in Turkey by Chinese archeologists.
The Torah then relates a major event that sheds light on the future of humanity. While Noah was lying naked in his tent, his son Ham abused his drunken father. Japheth saw his father’s nakedness, and he covered it with a blanket. There he did not see his father’s shame and looked away, unlike his brother.

G-d cursed the descendants of Ham who became “a slave to his brother.” Ham’s descendants settled in Africa, China and Southeast Asia.
The descendants of Japheth (from the word beauty) settled in Europe and the descendants of Shem remained in the Middle East and what is now known as the Arabian Peninsula.

Noah’s descendants include 70 children and grandchildren. Each of them gave birth to a people following the mixing of the languages of the Tower of Babel (around 2000 BC). The first names of the 70 descendants of Noah can be found in the Bible. Abarbanel, the Talmudic commentator on the Sanhedrin, teaches us about the geographical location in which each of them settled. G-d passed on to Noah and his descendants the 7 commandments that all human beings must fulfill to this day in order to maintain the balance of the world.

On the individual level, only obedience to these seven commandments allows access to the next world (Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin)

Below are the 7 Laws of Noah:

1. Know G-d (recognition of G-d as the supreme being)
2. Ban on idolatry
3. Ban on murder.
4. Ban on stealing.
5. Law – establishment of a fair legal system
6. Ban on prohibited relations
7. Ban on eating flesh torn from animals

Because of these commandments, humanity will be able to live in harmony. Imbalance is caused by failure to keep one of the commandments. To speak ill of another person is to kill him a little. Abortion is killing (the soul enters the body on the 40th day) unless the mother is in physical or emotional danger. Taking over the property of others is plunder. Treating money as a supreme value is idolatry. Failure to acknowledge a supreme being created this world, to be arrogant to believe that man rules the world, is to not actually believe in one G-d.

There is only one G-d and He is the G-d of everyone regardless of race, color, culture, country … everyone has a specific role that he needs to fulfill in order to improve humanity.
Of course, these commandments must be taught in the world in order to make humanity better. It is the duty of the Jewish people to enforce this teaching. It is why they are the chosen people. They were chosen to serve G-d and everyone in the world. Israel has many meanings, including “servants of G-d.”
A day will come and they will learn the 7 Laws of Noah in temples, churches, mosques and synagogues.
Faith will then return to its true essence and religions will no longer exist. 7 commandments for all people.

For my part, once I learned them in journals, I try to relay them to those around me at every given opportunity. Happiness is found in the path.
