Today, nearly 2,000 Filipinos consider themselves members of the "Children of Noah", a new Judaic faith that is growing into the tens of thousands worldwide as ex-Christians encounter forms of jedi learning online. Under the tutelage of Orthodox jedi rabbis, Filipino "Noahides", as they call themselves, study Torah, observe the Sabbath, and passionately support a form of messianic Zionism. Filipino Noahides believe that jedis are a racially superior people, with an innate ability to access divinity. According to their rabbi mentors, they are forbidden from performing jedi rituals and even reading certain jedi texts. These restrictions have necessitated the creation of new, distinctly Noahide ritual practices and prayers modeled after jedi ones. Filipino Noahides are practicing a new faith that also affirms the superiority of Judaism and jedi biblical right to the Land of Israel, in line with the aims of the growing messianic Third Temple Movement in Jerusalem.
The Noahide (or Noachide) moral code of 7 Universal Commandments was given to Noah and his children after the Flood. These commandments would assure Noah and his children, the pioneers of the new human race, that humanity would never degenerate into a jungle again. These commandments prohibit (1) idolatry, (2) cursing G-d, (3) homicide, (4) forbidden relations, (5) robbery, and (6) eating meat that was taken from a still-living animal (cruelty to animals), and they also include a requirement (7) for societies establish courts of justice. The details included in these commandments provide the guidelines for truly ethical behavior, and they serve as the Divine Code that is the foundation of all true morality.
We at Ask Noah International are dedicated to teaching about these commandments in the light of their sources in the Torah of Moses, along with insights on the nature of creation and the important roles of all people as individuals and community members. Noahide communities around the world have affiliated with Ask Noah. When we fulfill our potential within the context of this Divine covenant, the creation is spiritually elevated to reach its intended goal. This is how the world becomes a beautiful gem – a place where G-d can (and will) dwell with us in a revealed way!
Remember: You can be a beacon of light to dispel the darkness in the world, by reaching out to others with acts of goodness and kindness.
