Psalms of Haven Noahide Fellowship
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 1
Yahweh, the Lord, is the Centre of all that is.
He is the Supreme Power, the Omnipotent One,
Full of Glory and Majesty, Eternal in Sovereignty.
Yahweh is gracious to us mere mortals,
Granting us blessings and peace,
Giving prosperity to the works of our hands.
Yahweh watches over those who call on his name.
He watches and blesses those who repent of sin,
And Grants his grace to the humble of heart.
Yahweh is a trustworthy foundation.
Yes, in God himself I place my trust,
Forsaking the strength of my own hands,
Forsaking the strength of men, whose fidelity is fleeting.
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 2
How the heart of man can choose a crooked path.
How the heart of man can choose a crooked way.
Oh, heavenly father, that your grace would be upon us all,
Leading us in the right way, leading us against our own evil inclinations.
Yahweh, enthroned in heaven, looks down upon the children of men.
He knows their heart, from their youth he has known them,
Caught up in their evil ways, caught up in their malicious intent.
Oh Yahweh, how great your grace is. Oh Yahweh, how superlative your mercy.
You spoke with our father Noah.
You spoke with him and called him out of a perverse generation.
For mankind was wicked in your eyes, evil from the days of their youth.
And through Noah you rebirthed mankind, saved from the deluge of the flood.
Majestic Lord of Glory, redeem me I pray.
Hear my prayer and rescue me from the darkness of my own heart.
For only in thy goodness can the gift of eternal life be realized.
Only in thy goodness can the gift of forever have hope.
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 3
God
Can we not be so hypocritical, unfair and double-minded
Can we not be so duplicitous, fork-tongued and unfaithful
Can we not pretend to be paragons of virtue yet find shame in our hearts
Shame at betraying ones we claim to love
Lord
Let not my boasts be great, of words I can not live up to
Let me not say of my virtues qualities which I later betray as lacking
Let me be truthful in how much I can truly commit to and foreswear vain oaths
Guide me to be faithful
Father
Show me the way of holiness which will not be questioned as shallow
Help me to grow up maturely, yet not reach for heights I later tumble from
Give me grace and mercy and remind others I am only human, not God himself
Forgive me for my shortcomings
Yahweh
I am only human. I can not be more than what I am. And I am so complex
That I don’t even understand myself half of the time.
But you, Oh Lord, know all the ways of humans and the choices of the heart.
Please, if you will in your mercy answer my prayer, give me the gift of wisdom
To love others in a manner which will last eternally and not be a vain oath of
Allegiance soon forgotten.
Alleluia
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 4
Let my soul rest in the calmness of nature,
the calmness of God’s creation.
Let my soul slumber and be at peace with the
simplicity of the song of the songbird
and the chirping of the sparrow.
Let the buzzing of the bees bring joy to me,
even to the days of my age and let
the sound of the sheep at pasture and the joy of the
newborn babe be always pleasant in my heart.
Let the sight of a spider’s web fill me with mystery,
and let the early morning mist always fill me with
happiness and aliven me to the new day.
Let the rushing geyser be a source of fascination,
and let me fear in the presence of the tornado and
be awestruck by the power of the lightning.
Let the gentle flow of the stream soothe my soul,
and let the thunderous waves entertain my thirst
for adventure.
Lord God Almighty, I thank you for the wonders
of creation, which give joy and happiness to my
life each and every day. This world is a wonderful
and marvellous world, and all the children of Noah
thank you for your great kindness in creating it
For us.
We are your people, Almighty God, and the servants
of your covenant. And let the sign of the Covenant,
the ‘Rainbow’, one of the greatest signs of nature,
always remind us of the beauty and wonder that comes
forth from the heart of the Almighty.
Alleluia
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 5
Lord God - You are the solace of my heart’s anxiety.
You are the peace in the storms of life which remains
Faithful and ever unchanging. You are the strength
In my weaknesses and the power of my right hand
In all that I say and do. Lord, you are God, and even
In my wrongdoing my heart still remembers the graces
And love you have shown me.
Lord God – From generation to generation mankind
Searches out the way of truth. For so many finding
God is not easy, but you have always been there, waiting
To be found. You love us, children of Adam and Eve,
Children of Enoch, children of Noah. You love us and
Teach us the right way through the teachings of our
Fathers. Lord, I pray, remain faithful to the heart which
Wants truth above all else, and remember the struggle
We have all gone through in finding our salvation.
Lord God – Remember our fathers who have gone before
Us, and our mothers who bore and fed us. Remember forever
Those who have struggled to build our wonderful world, and
The many sacrifices they have made. I pray and ask of you,
Eternal God, prepare a home of eternal joy and life as reward
For their struggle, and share with them the fruits of their
Labours and the joy and consolation their hearts truly desire.
Forget not the children of Noah who, even those who have
Not known you or understood your ways, still tried in their hearts
To live good and decent lives. Forget them not in your mercy
I do pray Lord God Almighty, and prepare a home of eternal
Blessing for each and every one of them.
Lord God – The children of Noah praise your name. We lift
Up the name of Yahweh and declare that he is God and that
There is no other. Heavenly Father, we will serve you for
All eternity, building a Haven of Salvation in your name, a
Haven of love, peace and prosperity, in true service to your
Eternal Glory. We will feed the hungry, nurse the sick and
Wounded, give homes to the homeless, and give peace and
Love to the broken of heart. We will care for all as you have
Cared for us, and we pray watch over us eternally for we are
The sheep of your eternal pasture, the children of mankind,
And we need you in all our weaknesses and all our struggles.

Psalm 20
An amazing speed of knowledge accumulation
An amazing rate of learning
An amazing amount of wisdom intake
An amazing ability to inculcate understanding
Yet learning should be at the speed of life
At the gentle rate of the lamb at pasture
At the skillful meanderings of the rabbit at play
At the fast pace the cheetah sets
And at the glorious soar the eagle makes
For to run the knowledge
Of mankind's wisdom
Through your life
At the speed of the space shuttle
Or the fierceness of a Formula One
Unabated
Learning at the speed of sound
And beyond
Is not how Homo Sapien
Was designed by God
But instead
For the speed of life
For the speed of nature
AMEN

A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 33
A spirit of freedom, a spirit of libertarianism, may sound wonderful, may sound great
But I ask of the Lord God, that he continues to teach me and thee, that a spirit of freedom
Is a spirit to SIN
For when a soul thinks itself wiser, than the wisdom of law, which guards against sin, which guards against death
And when a soul believes itself stronger, than the teaching of Torah, which guards against sin, which guards against death
And when a soul is so vain, that it believes itself, without the guardianship of law, which guards against sin, which guards against death
This soul has become befuddled
by a Spirit to SIN
And while the grace of the Lord abounds
And while the forgiveness of the Lord is abundant
Any fool can see that such lives are not forever
Guided only by wilful self determination
In rebellion against God
Ultimately ending in their own death and eternal destruction
Having rebelled against Holy Law and Holy Torah
Which guards against sin, which guards against death
AMEN
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 34
Life and death. Heaven and hell.
We aim for one, to therein dwell.
Yet some, it seems, lack clear insight.
And suffer the wrath of damnations bite.
Life and death. Heaven and hell.
The power of salvation we need so well.
The Lord our God to save our soul.
Or is it I, for whom the bell tolls?
Life and death. Heaven and hell.
And in the end, a tale to tell.
Did I choose wisely, did I choose wrong.
Either way eternity will sing its song.
Life and death. Heaven and hell.
Praise be to God, with a heartfelt yell.
This life is eternal, so do not give up.
Heaven and hell, the choice is love.
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 35
In the love of Kin and Family
Are the heart's purest joys
The haven of my life
The source of comfort and of peace
In the love of kin and family
Are life's tender moments
A kiss of fond affection
A word which bring me ease
In the love of Kin and family
Is comical relief
When a word told in jest
Brings relief to tense times
In the love of Kin and family
Is the meaning of this life
When we share the family spirit
And share love so pure and kind
Praise be to God, the father of us all
Praise be to God, the one so good and great
He watches over families, and guides them every day
Thanks be to God each day our family celebrates
AMEN
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 36
God defend me, save my soul, deliver me from evil
God defend me, keep my family safe, protect my life
God defend me, sustain my good name, shelter my heart
God defend me, protect my home, protect my well-being
God defend me, each and every day
God defend me, each and every way
And when I sin
When I sin, alone
Prosecute me for my evil
But defend me when I atone
AMEN
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 37
Jealousy is a sin. Envy is a sin. Covetousness is a sin.

Wrath is a sin. Anger is a sin. Nastiness is a sin.
And repenting of the desires of thine heart is not easy.

Lord God, help me to repent of stubborn self will
Lord God, save my soul this and every day
Lord God, save my life still
Alleluia

AMEN
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 38
Life is a complex thing, wrapped up in human flesh
Paraded to the world from youth, with a boast of success if it all works well
Yet Eternity is more complex, wrapped up in a spirit man
Shown in love to the holy community, with a humble salutation when you've learned to obey God
It is not by pride in human effort that glory is attained
But by meek and mild humility, were eternity is gained
Praise to God forever, Praise to God, Amen
Praise to God forever, sing the sons of men.
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 39
Life can be ordinary, life can be great
You can spend it all winging
Or you can celebrate
All the good things God has given you
Each and every day
And thank him for his guidance
He gives you on the way
Life can be ordinary, life can be good
You can spend it all complaining
Or doing what you should
But in the end remember
In how you walk this life
Your choices make it glory
Or trouble, tears and strife
Praise to God forever
Saviour of mankind
Like him we practice mercy
To the lost and to the blind
Praise to God forever
The Lord our God Supreme
We thank him for his goodness
Who brings hope to every dream
AMEN
A Psalm of Daniel
Psalm 40
To be the king, a glorious thing, to God I sing, when I am king
A crown to wear, a throne for chair, more than sir, when I am there
Upon the throne of Godly Glory, Upon the throne of God's royal land
Sits the king of Godly Glory, All his subjects at his command
But this, say I, in psaltery, There is a love more pure than he
Who sits upon the throne of God, And ruleth all with Iron Rod
It's deep within your purest heart, Which you did know right at the start
When spirit holy touched your soul, And told you all you need to know
It's not in the power, nor in the might, Nor in those who tremble at your sight
But in your words and kindest deeds, And in the bellies of mouths you feed
The greatest glory is not supreme, Nay, say I, there's another dream
It's in a heart which simply loves, And follows truly God above
So chase the glory, Nay say I, for this lessons learned before I die
In humility, and please take heed, let grace be all your heart doth need
Alleluia and Amen, Sing Praise to God, you sons of Men
Alleluia and Amen, Sing Praise to God, Father of Men
Psalm 41
Lord God, guide me to be merciful, guide me to be strict
To know when to smile, and when to bring out the whip
Help me to get along with men and women fair
Help me to protect my stuff, but know when to share
Teach me skills of pleasantry, teach me skills of love
Give me strength to resist darkness, help me rise to you above
Be the strength at my right hand, give me skill to build an ark
Show me Noah's patience and wisdom, show me Noah's humour and laugh
Lord, my God, protect my soul, lead me safely everlong
Lord, my God, I praise your kindness, you're the heart of this my song
AMEN
Psalm 42
The meaning of life my friend
Is seven times six
It's sarcasm, my dimwitted friend
To play your love in little tricks
But little trick of harmless kind
Which bring a grin and not a frown
Be kind in all your witty ways
Don't be the one to bring her down
Show her grace, your faithful spouse
Show her love each day and night
Keep your humour always in check
But let it shine when she delights
In your foolish foolery
When male bravado must have its say
She likes her man to play the fool
And keep her happy every day
AMEN

'ADVANCING WITH THE ERA'S'
Haven Noahide Fellowship is part of the Advancing Noah Movement. We are 1DF of 7DF. And the Advancing Noah Movement is made up of the Seven Divine Fellowships and, probably indeed, the 70 Assemblies of Faith (Some still to be born). HNF is about Advancing with the eras. We don't change our tunes as the eras come and go. We ADVANCE but the core truths remain the same. The core levels remain the same, but every year it adds on new growth. The ANM is meant to be like that - we put on new growth each era, but the core remains the same. Yes, we progress - but only in adding to our tradition - not taking away from it. True, sometimes things might not work perfectly, and might need to be amended. But the core is stable, and needs to be preserved. So HNF is about ADVANCING from era to era, but its basic philosophy remains the same. We represent Torah - Torah of Noah - the Rainbow Covenant - and everlastingly so. AMEN.
'FINDING PEACE WITH GOD'
God encouraged Cain to conquer the spirit of sin which was always at his door, tempting him to its evil ways.
All of us know of people in our lives and people we see in TV who talk of troubles of the heart - anxiety, worries, depressions, sadnesses and miseries. It seems so many people are miserable in their lives, all of them searching for an answer which eludes them.
The professional psychiatrists all have various answers which they think work, but the real truth to human existences questions of the soul are found in the religious text of the holy scripture which God inspired millennia ago.
What keeps us from finding true peace of heart is our SIN. It is doing things which are carnal, nasty, vicious, mean spirited and hateful which leads to a sense of anxiety in life. And this anxiety will always stay with us until we learn the fundamental lesson which Cain, who killed his brother Abel, failed to learn. We need to repent of the carnal and sinful ways we can be so prone as humans to fall into and become, instead, children of love, joy and peace.
Finding peace with God is found in learning the principles of scripture and applying them to life. It is found in being honest and truthful towards God and our fellow neighbours and doing the very best to show everyone LOVE coming from an honest heart.
The more we love, the more we show kindness, the more we show integrity, the more peace of heart we will find and the more happy we will end up being.
‘SERVING GOD WITH FAITHFULNESS’
Faithfulness to God means being committed to God. It means most importantly that when you are having difficult times in life – when things are going against you - when things seem to challenging or difficult to cope with - when everything seems to be going well for everyone EXCEPT you - that THAT is the time to remain
faithful and committed to God.
It is easy to praise God and tell him you love him and do everything to please him when things are easy. But that is not the true test of your loyalty. The true test is this: When everything is against you can you still study the Rainbow Bible, praise the goodness of God and remain faithful? God wants followers who will remain faithful to him - through the good times AND the bad times - for better or for worse. Anything less than that is a 'fair-weather friend' and not a true follower of God anyway. So STAY COMMITTED, STAY FAITHFUL AND KEEP GOD IN YOUR HEART, SERVING HIM CONSTANTLY.
‘LIFE AFFIRMING CHOICES’
The fall of Adam and Eve teaches us many lessons. But one of the most important ones is this: immediately after declaring their punishment God made clothes of animal skin to ‘HIDE’ the nakedness of Adam and Eve. Because Adam and Eve, after eating the forbidden fruit, gained knowledge of good and evil, God gave them clothing to start teaching them the fundamental lesson that they needed to choose ‘Goodness’ when confronted with a situation in which good and evil were involved. They knew they were naked immediately, but God clothed them very quickly, and helped them in their ‘sinful state’. God shows he cares by doing this. You see, the fundamental lesson we can learn from this historical event is this: God knows we have already chosen to have knowledge of good and evil, but he sets us an example by clothing us to help us to choose the ‘GOOD’. God wants us to choose goodness as opposed to evil in ALL our life choices, and helped us to make that choice right there at the beginning by clothing us.
Thus, in all our life circumstance were decisions are to be made which involve good and evil, God has already given us an example that he wants us to ‘Choose the GOOD’.
We must make ‘GOOD’ and ‘POSITIVE’ and ‘LIFE AFFIRMING’ choices in every choice we make through our lives. God desired ‘GOOD’ and ‘HOLY’ people who make the ‘RIGHT’ Choices.
‘CHILDREN OF PEACE’
Children of Noah need to be "Children of Peace". The world’s most popular sign or symbol for Peace is usually the 'DOVE'. As fortune would have it, one of the key symbols for Noah's covenant, alongside the Rainbow, is the 'Dove'. The Dove represents Peace, Purity and sacrifice in biblical language. They were used in official sacrifices because of their gentle nature and their purity for sacrificial food. What we as "Children of Peace" and "Children of Noah" need to be are "Sacrifices of Peace" to all mankind. We need to sacrifice our own egos, desires and ambitions on the altar of Yahweh in service to all mankind for the "Peace Offering" which will heal ALL the children of Adam & Eve and 'Noah'. Children of Peace are not interested in violence or bloodshed. We are interested in bringing healing when others would bring pain. We are interested in bringing love, when others would bring hate. We are interested in bringing 'Peace' when others would bring 'War'. We strive to be friendly and at "Peace" with our neighbour and fellow citizens. We are lawful and try to be Just in all our dealings. We are gentle and soft and kind-hearted. We are Children of Peace and Children of the Dove.
‘CONFRONTING EVIL’
It is never easy or pleasant to have to deal with hostility. To deal with deceitful men and violent men can often be the very bane and hardest part of our lives. Sometimes, especially in youth, we can be confronted with people who don't show any affection towards us and are even judgemental, hostile and violent. Because children of Noah are meant to be a peaceful and friendly people, it can be difficult to know how we are supposed to react. Children of Noah need to be 'Meek' and 'Gentle' in the face of opposition. We need to return 'Love' for 'Hate', and 'Gentleness' for 'Hostility'.
We need to serve as an example to those who oppress us of the patience and love of Almighty God. On a societal level the Police have an important role. These brave souls are required by God to confront the lawless members of our society and deal with evil on a day to day basis. If God calls you to the Police force it is because you have the strength of character to deal with this work. Judges and law courts also have important responsibilities in confronting evil and we must always support them by being upright citizens and making their jobs easier. Ultimately, though, regular everyday children of Noah need to be gentle and peaceful. A quiet and sensible flock of God our shepherd, quietly going about life and keeping the peace. We only confront evil as a last absolute, and then only with special roles in society for people equipped to do as such.
‘THE WORLD LIES AT THE FEET OF A DISCIPLINED MAN’
Here is a proverb: "The World lies at the Feet of a disciplined Man"
A disciplined man has the ability to:
* Pray, because he finds the time to do this daily on routine.
* Study, because he is motivated and WORKS hard to achieve his goals.
* Teach others, because his inspiration from God leads him to work to strengthen society.
* Achieve success, because he gets up every morning dutifully for work, is disciplined enough to follow the correct work procedures, is disciplined enough to work his FULL allotment of hours without shirking, is disciplined enough to attend ALL work meetings and is disciplined enough to show a good attitude and ethic to his employers. Being disciplined means having the ability to work hard under the Authority of God who will lead you and PUSH you to achieve the kind of goals you are capable of. It is a true saying, "The World lies at the feet of a disciplined man'.
'YOUR WORDS’
Have you noticed how when people say kind things about your personality it makes you feel good. And have you also noticed that when people insult you or say nasty things about your friends or family that you feel bad and negative. So much of how we react to other people in life is not only in what they do but what they SAY. Words have power. It has been said 'The Pen is Mightier than the sword' and how true that is. Our greatest political leaders usually have that about them - a sense of authority. As if they have something we all want to listen to, and a divine mandate to speak these words. In life, the words you yourself speak come from your own authority - your own personal power. They reflect you perfectly and communicate to others what you are about and what you believe. They have the power to speak positively and the power to speak negatively.
‘SOME OF THE PRINCIPLES OF HAVEN NOAHIDE FELLOWSHIP’
These are my personal judgements for what should be part of the practices of Haven Noahide fellowship No tattoos - this is a deliberate marring of the flesh
No Cuttings of the flesh - a deliberate marring of the flesh
No
ear-rings or nose-rings through holes in flesh - a deliberate marring
of the flesh
Fingernails: Fingernails always grow back and
continue to grow if uncut. As such it
is the right thing to do to
trim fingernails. God designed us to trim
our fingernails.
Facial
Hair: Facial hair, like fingernails, always grows back and continues
to grow. It is entirely appropriate to trim facial hair and even be
fully shaved if someone desires to. Because the hair grows back and
continues to grow it can be
styled according to fashion if
desired.
Women's hair length: Women may cut their hair short in
the western style of they so wish. Women's hair likewise continues to
grow back so this is a non-issue. Being fashionable and practical are
important principles for women.
Make-up: Make-up to cover
blemishes is important, but women should not be ashamed of their own
particular 'NATURAL' look as well. As such a woman who refuses to
wear make-up should not be ashamed at the look her creator naturally
gave her. Our natural look is beautiful in God's eyes, and never an
issue of shame. However it is entirely appropriate to use make-up to
cover blemishes as this can cause personal embarrassment otherwise
and God cares about our feelings.
Cigarettes: These very often
cause cancer and other diseases and should not be used or, if used,
only smoked in very small quantities (a few cigarettes a
year).
Alcohol: Can cause all sorts of health problems and needs
to be kept to a minimum.
Drunkenness should be completely
avoided.
Illegal drugs: We should not use these because civic law
forbids it. However, in countries were they are legal, all health
concerns about the drugs need to be taken into consideration.
‘BEING GENTLE’
It is so easy to answer someone sharply or aggressively. It is so easy to be proud and think we know better than others and, out of that pride, answer back as if we know it all. But God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Being gentle is the call of all the children of Noah. We have to be strong people, but we have to show our strength through our gentleness. Being gentle means being soft. It means being kind to people, even when they show their harsher sides to us. It means being meek and timid like. It means having NO AGGRESSION. God wants children of Noah to be very, very GENTLE. To be soft, kind and pure. Seek gentleness.
‘PERSEVERANCE& SUCCESS’
One of my personal proverbs is this: "To succeed - Persevere". You see, completing a work task, especially a long and complicated one, takes a lot of effort and often is not done at one sitting or at one go. To gain success in achieving goals you need to be committed to your goal and work steadily to achieve it. Success does not come through a half-hearted attempt at achieving glory. It comes through patient, careful, thoughtful and methodical planning - and then working to that plan to carefully achieve your goals. There are some principles for reaching goals:
* Start with the end in mind
* If at first you don't succeed, try, try again
* A good beginning makes a good ending
* A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step
Often, to succeed in life, we need to simply get of our butts and actually make a beginning to a project. But to achieve the ultimate goals we have in life, you must PERSEVERE. This means facing up to challenges and obstacles and doing your best to work through them. It means honestly facing up to the challenge and doing the required work for success. If you desire success, God will provide the means for you to achieve it. Your part is to make a good start and persevere.
'LIFE’S FRUSTRATIONS’
Members of Haven need to really learn this important truth. God loves us, dearly. But it is also a real truth that God has not yet completed perfecting planet earth, and a lot more work needs to be done in improving our societies and bringing wealth and blessings. We can get so frustrated because of our lack of blessing in life, and we often end up blaming God and saying he doesn’t really care about us and doesn’t answer our prayers. It is true – a lot of the time God doesn’t answer our prayers for blessings, especially finances, and we are left wondering if he really cares about us or is devoted to us.
There is this saying popular in the western world – ‘God helps those who help themselves.’ A lot of the time God will simply provide us with the knowledge we need to be able to go about doing the work on gaining our OWN blessing from our OWN hard work. God wants to see in members of Haven Noahide Fellowship the attitude that WE will take care of our own lives as well as his own input. You see, God is making leaders and holy people out of us, and training us to be responsible and take care of things ourselves. He doesn’t want us to always have to rely upon him, especially when we are capable of getting our own blessing through our own perseverance. When there are challenges in life, especially the challenge of low incomes, God wants us to do everything in our power to work hard and look for all the opportunities we possibly can in life to further our own situation. A big part of that and a real key to success, whether you notice this immediately or not in the first instance, is gaining a very good education. I am not just talking about qualifications from schools and colleges and universities, but real life education as well. If you have internet access LEARN as much as you can. Seek out ‘Good Advice’ websites, and also seek out websites on basic things such as ‘Mathematical knowledge’ and ‘Language teaching’ and ‘History websites’ and ‘Geography websites (Ie Maps of the world etc.) and all sorts of knowledge and information. You must commit to ‘Lifelong’ learning. A very, very good start is to buy a dictionary, even a small one, and learn a new word every day to increase your vocabulary. Try and learn the meanings of words that you don’t know and talk with a partner or a friend about the word and try and bring it into a conversation. Remember, language is how we communicate in society, so the more words you know, the stronger your communication skills, and the better your chances of success in life. Often success can be done not just through exterior schoolings, but simply our own home efforts to improve were and when we can. Dictionaries are an excellent way to start and should be studied regularly. If you can afford an ‘Atlas’ (maps of the world) this is an excellent idea, and it really is worth studying the names of the countries of the world and their capital cities and major geographical features. Remember, nations don’t change their names a lot, so learning who else is in your world and about them and STAYING INFORMED and BROADENING YOUR KNOWLEDGE is always the best thing to do.
A good lesson is to ‘DO THE BEST WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.’ With the things God has already provided for you, learn to make use of them already. If you have access to the internet remember to spend whatever time you have learning new things. A useful thing to do when wanting to know about something on the internet is also typing in ‘wikipedia’ with whatever you want to look up as wikipedia has a lot of information. Try looking up online dictionaries if you need to and just learn a new word from an online dictionary every now and again, write it down or try to remember it, and talk about it with your partner or friends and family. Remember this truth – ‘THE BETTER EDUCATED A SOCIETY, THE MORE WEALTH AND PROSPERITY WILL COME TO IT’. So remember, when you find all these frustrations in life, DON’T BLAME GOD, but try to do the very best with what he has already provided for you. When you persevere at life and work hard the blessing inevitably comes. So, DON’T GIVE UP, KEEP THE FAITH, TRUST IN THE LORD, AND LOVE ALWAYS AT ALL TIMES.
‘MARRIAGE – A ONE FLESH RELATIONSHIP’
The Rainbow Torah records Adam and Eve becoming one flesh as husband and wife. In fact, a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and the two shall be one flesh.
Marriage between a man and a woman is a fundamental and natural human relationship. When we are born into the world from a very young age there is a yearning to be close with people, and it is in the union of marriage upon a suitable age that the most defining of life’s relationships can arise. Marriage between man and woman can bring children – more people in the human race. Certainly, children can be born outside of the marital relationship, but when marriage occurs, strengthened by the bonds of commitment and love, a happier home for children ensues, one in which they can be taught traditional family values and become pillars in their society. Haven stresses the ‘Normality’ of the choice of marriage and that, in most circumstances, this should be the normal choice a human being would make for their life upon a suitable age. Certainly, we are of the opinion that many people choose to remain single throughout their lives, feeling marriage is not for them. We do not condemn such choices, and respect people’s fundamental human right not to marry if they so choose. But we do strongly recommend marriage and stress that it should be considered the ‘Usual’ or ‘Normal’ course of action for a human being upon becoming mature enough to marry. Marriage is intended to be an important union between man and woman, is a fundamental aspect of the Rainbow Bible, and Haven Noahide Fellowship upholds and maintains this tradition completely. Marriage rites and ceremonies can be determined by the individual’s marrying, but there is no problem in national customs in marriage being followed by members of Haven Noahide Fellowship. Marriage is shown as a one flesh relationship in Genesis 1:24 which reads 'Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.' Further, there is the idea in the Rainbow Torah that a man can marry more than one wife. Genesis 4:19 reads 'And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.'' Lamech had children to both Adah and Zillah, so this appears to be a normal choice for a man to make as well. It is generally important that a man be able to support his wife or wives, as men have been given responsibility to rule over their wife or wives, as per Genesis 3:16 which reads, 'Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.'
‘ACCEPTANCE’
It can be such a problem in today’s world for people to find acceptance with other people, with spiritual communities and with business organisations and society in general. It seems that so many people often don’t fit well with the group, and are often ostracised or kept out because of it. As Noahides we need to remember that all mankind today are children of Noah, and that all are valuable and important in God’s eyes because of it. Haven promotes tolerance and acceptance of people who find it difficult to relate to other people in various ways. As a fellowship we have standards which, while accepting such practices are an active part of the lives of many of the children of Noah, tend to discourage or frown upon such practices being performed in hedonistic or vagrant and vulgar ways. These are certain sexual and magical practices. However it is very important that such people who violate these practices still find a home and acceptance with us. To a degree, in how outspoken they are in their practices, they can still be members of Haven Noahide Fellowship – it all depends how much they flaunt their lifestyle to the embarrassment of others. If they live a moderate lifestyle, obeying the civil laws of society which do not forbid these practices, then they are acceptable enough to become members of Haven Noahide Fellowship. It is important enough to state the general viewpoint of the fellowship in our compliance with the biblical way in general to such people, but we must also practice enormous grace, mercy and friendship towards all people so that they can find a true home in Haven. As Christina Aguilera sings, we are all beautiful in God’s eyes, and Haven is meant to be a ‘Haven’ for all the children of Noah. But it is not just people with divergent lifestyles which we need to accept – we must accept all lawful people into our fellowship who desire to join and find a home. We must continually show all members of our fellowship grace, kindness, mercy, respect and love. We should treat them as if they are Noah himself, as we must remember we are all Noah’s beloved children in God’s eyes. We must have a heart which does not discriminate against people of vibrant alternative ways of life, yet tolerates and accepts in love such people as children of Noah worthy of our affections.
If you take it for granted that God loves you and shows you grace, so should be your attitude towards all the children of Noah.
‘RAISING CHILDREN’
The first man, Adam, had children. And these children were made in the image of God, as Genesis 5 relates. A fundamental purpose for us as human beings is to marry and procreate. Procreation is having children, for God desires many children amongst mankind. When raising children there are many lessons that society has learned over a long period of time to ensure children turn out for the best. I feel the most important of all lessons are those which focus on the morality of the child – those lessons which teach the child to choose right over wrong and make the best decisions.
Morality, of course, should be in harmony with both God’s own teaching for us as well as the laws of society. So many problems appear in the teenage years, such as drunkenness, drug-use, and wild and reckless behaviour, which could be avoided in a large degree if the parent’s exercised a stronger sense of teaching the child morality and lawfulness. So much of the time children grow up with the belief that they are a law unto themselves, and only in later years do they start to realize they have responsibilities not only to themselves, but to society in general, and that being a moral and law abiding citizen is how these responsibilities are met.
‘THE SINGLE LIFE’
Not all of us, it seems, are destined to marry. And this is, really, not wrong. Many people enjoy the single life and the blessing of being able to do things for themselves without the obligations of a partner and children. Yet a single life still has a responsibility to interact with society, and should not separate to its own little world, were problems of insular behaviour can often result. If you have chosen the single life it is still very important to interact with whatever family you have, or have strong friendships or relationships with a spiritual community. No man or woman is a rock or an island, and we all share this planet together. Even as a single person you still have some sort of obligation to be a member of your society and show other people in your society you care and are concerned about them and society as a whole. You still need to contribute ‘Yourself’ to society, as you are an important and cherished part of God’s plan for the world. There is a sense that the most regular lifestyle chosen for a child of Noah should be to raise children, as God did command Noah and his seed to do as such, but in a world today with over 6 Billion people we don’t have to worry that much about the fulfilling of this command as there are so many people. But it is still important to procreate and replace ourselves if we can. Yet there is no shame in the single life, and such people should still strive to be a valuable and important contributing member of the society in which they live.
‘CONTINUE LEARNING’
This Rainbow Bible with its list of sermons is meant to give an introductory idea and feel of the simplicity of faith in God and walking with him as a child of Noah. Really, we can complicate things if we wish to and, in life, sometimes things can get complicated. But spirituality is meant to have a simple essence of simply ‘Doing the right thing’. As Noahides we could ask ‘WWND’ or ‘What Would Noah Do’ In all of life’s difficulties you are not going to find an answer to every question in a book. You are going to have to think for yourself and put some real ‘Heart and Soul’ into solving your life’s difficulties. As a spiritual person your real quest is to do the right thing in each circumstance you find yourself in life and be a good representative of the name of your father ‘Noah’. God is there for each and every child of Noah, and as we continue to learn from others and for ourselves let us rest in the grace which comes from the love and benevolence of our Almighty Heavenly Father.
‘BECOMING A VIRTUOUS PERSON’
In our walk with the God of Noah, there is a purpose. There is a point. We are born into this world and it seems for so many that we arrive at our 18th year starting to ask questions about why we are here and what it is all about. For those of us in Haven Noahide Fellowship we have found the answer. To serve God as children of Noah living lives pleasing to him. And a large part of that life process, were we are heading, is become virtuous people. Virtues are qualities or character traits which define us. Characteristics of our personality which shine though in our behaviours. And virtues are meant to be understood as positive, moral or life-affirming characteristics. Here is a list of some important virtues:
Love
Peace
Mercy
Kindness
Friendliness
Consistency
Faithfulness
Purity
Truthfulness
Honesty
Devotion
Holiness
Stability
Prudence
Caution
Sense
Wisdom
Commitment
Righteousness
Forethought
Charity
Hope
Faith
Humility
Sacrifice
Compassion
Honour
Godliness
To understand what each of these virtues are, simply look them up in a dictionary for their meaning. But most of us instinctively know what these words mean. You see, a large part of our overall virtue is putting into practice these characteristics, studying out ideas and ways of life which will inculcate them into our nature, and persevering with them, which is a virtue in an of itself, to see a real change in our lives to become virtuous people. The main character of virtue are words which are synonymous with virtue, such as righteousness, holiness and godliness. Through listening to people teach on the ways of a good life and by carefully putting into practice positive ideals and, when we fall short of these ideals, repenting of our carnal or sinful or simply slack behaviours, we reinforce the teaching of virtue in our life and progress in our walk with God becoming the kind of children of God that he will be proud to call his own. So strive for being virtuous and committed to a lifestyle of holiness. It will be a garland around your neck which will make you the joy of your family and your community.
‘YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD’
If you are a member of Haven Noahide Fellowship, believe me it is no accident. God has placed you in our spiritual body for a reason – to find yourself in a spiritual haven, but also to be a haven to others, in fact to be a haven to all the children of Noah, mankind today. You are important to God and he has brought you into Haven Noahide Fellowship because you will be taught things here, things on love of God, respect of your fellow man, the ways of practical holiness, the ways of virtue and hopefully biblically acceptable and correct doctrine. We are not God’s only spiritual fellowship, but we are a dedicated and serious one. We aim to help all members in our fellowship and the pastors desire to care for the flock as their dearly beloved children, children of Noah and children of God. Because of this attitude you can believe me when I say You are important to God because he has brought you into a place were his knowledge is taught, were the father of Glory is glorified alone, and were we attempt to live in peace and harmony with all mankind, not threatening them, but showing them the kind of love that God has so graciously shown us.
You are important to God. Remember that. You are loved, cared about, valued and cherished. Every single member who commits to Haven Noahide Fellowship is meant to be valued and treated with care, to be shown respect and love, never belittled or mocked, never derided or insulted, but shown the kind of spiritual haven that the deepest desire of their soul truly craves.
You are important to God. Never forget that.
‘SHARING YOUR FAITH’
Sharing your faith can be a daunting thing. But today, in the emerging world, it is thankfully becoming a little easier to be able to speak your beliefs without being criticised so strongly.
Members of Haven Noahide Fellowship are encouraged to share their faith in ways which they feel comfortable with and are not scared of doing. We will never ask you to do anything you don’t want to do in the sharing of your faith, and if you are ever confronted with a challenge to share your beliefs in a way that scares you, we encourage you to speak to your pastor and share your fears. He will always understand. If you are a person of courage and boldness and are happy to share your faith, this is a wonderful thing. But God made all of us differently, and some people are shy and intimidated in being bold with their beliefs. And this is exactly how God made them and absolutely nothing at all to be ashamed of. We can all be witnesses for our faith and our beliefs, and we should all strive when we feel it is possible to have courage to share with others. But not everyone is born with skills of evangelism, and this is perhaps a calling for those who feel the spirit move them in such a way. But sharing your real faith – sharing the only faith which has lasting value – is sharing the faith of love. Loving your fellow human, showing them grace and kindness and being the kind of person they will be attracted to spiritual anyway. If you can be a vessel of love for mankind, you will be surprised that it will not be you that has to seek out people – it will be people seeking out you for your wisdom and insight. So share your faith in a way you are comfortable with, and let love and grace be in all the words you speak.
‘ANGELS’
Are angels real? Do spiritual beings apart from God really exist? If you have regular internet access and are curious about angels I encourage you to type in search terms like ‘Angel stories’ or ‘Angel encounters’ or something similar. There are numerous websites, message boards and discussion forums which all speak about encounters with what people call ‘Angels.’ Having a focus on angels is a good thing in life, but when we do so it should be on angels of goodness and angels of light. Of course, we must remember it is God who gives the angels their powers and responsibilities and we must always remember who is at the top of the divine hierarchy and not lose this focus. Any focus we have on angels must be sensible and in proportion with a proper respect for God himself as the first and foremost love of our life. Angelic spirituality is an excellent thing and I welcome and desire all such activity in Haven Noahide Fellowship. They are ambassadors of God, bring good tidings, and with our guardian angels we can be protected from many of the hazards of life which unfortunately so often beset each and every one of us.
‘ANIMISM – BASIC SPIRITUAL AWARENESS’
In nature there is the physical aspect of things which we see, feel, touch, hear and smell which are obvious to all of us. But since ancient days in so many diverse cultures there has been another truth – the truth of spirit or animistic awareness. Everything which has been created has a ‘Spirit’ associated with it. From rocks and minerals, to plants and animals and human beings, there is a spiritual energy associated with creation. For example, have you ever noticed feelings from youth and earlier years, and feeling these things later on in life. And to start with they may not be noticeable, but when people point it out it is very noticeable and you start noticing it all the time. Places as well have a spirit associated with them. What might be termed the ‘Ambience’ of a place is a specific spiritual ocean of spirit energy appropriate to that location. Animism, as it is called, is part of Yahweh’s design in nature. It is the spiritual soul of creation, and it could well be that such spiritual energy is also the stuff of heaven and the stuff of our dreamselves. Animism should not be shunned our disdained, but wholeheartedly embraced and researched with good conscience. It is the true spiritual substance of creation, and an important part of the spiritual awareness and sixth sense of our lives and existence.
‘THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS – BEING GREEN IS CONSISTENT WITH NOAHIDE FAITH’
When God created Adam and put him in the garden he told him to tend the garden. This was one of the duties of Adam – to look after the Garden of Eden. God loves his creation. There are numerous psalms which speak of the love of God towards his creation, for it is his personal handiwork and he delights in it. It thus stands to perfect reason that God wants the best for his creation, and earth, being the pinnacle of his work, is meant to be preserved and looked after. Being environmentally focused or ‘Green Minded’ is supposed to be a preoccupation for all the children of Adam and Eve. Having concern for nature and flora and fauna – plants and animals – and our reserves of ores and minerals – is a fundamental part of the management task God has entrusted mankind to do. Mankind is the pinnacle of God’s created living beings. As such, made in the very image of God, we are responsible to watch over his creation as the ultimate ‘Gardeners’ of Eden, and preserve for all future generations and forever this beautiful paradise of creation which God has entrusted to us to watch over.
'THE DOCTRINE OF JUSTICE'
The Doctrine of Justice is the hallmark of proper law. Proper law makes it the priority of truth being brought to light, and judgement, accurate judgement, being made on the truth. Legal rulings and procedures violated in the pursuit of justice may be admissible for the sake of justice, if the doctrine of protection is upheld. The doctrine of protection in this case states that were no physical or grievous harm would occur, then investigations which would otherwise be illegal, in hindsight, would be permissible for the sake of justice. An investigating officer may make illegal searches and documents and material admissible if the sake of justice is at stake and they seem merely 'Relevant' or 'Reasonably Possible' determiners in the case. Yet the doctrine of Protection is limited by just that – that it protects. The Doctrine of harm, conversely, equates that if an investigating officer, in attempting to find the truth, acts in a grievously harmful manner, the principle that his injustice allows for another justice to be arrived is invalid. Yet, it is all based on the scale of relative justices and injustices. You can not commit a wrong to make a right. Yet sometimes you must commit a wrong to make a right. It is an issue of justice for the scales of justice, and the weighing of illegal investigation must be balanced against the need and degree of the justice at hand. If a case requires a stricter judgement, and even more so involving cases affecting the public good and knowledge and interest, then a greater degree of tolerance in investigative procedure is permitted. And this is not judged by law, but by judgement of the judge – his or her sober opinion. At the conclusions of cases, greater insight may have been gained on the nature of all the evidence presented in the case, and appeals may be lodged were evidence which may not have been thought relevant for the case of justice appears that it might indeed be relevant.
Further, the Doctrine of Justice dismisses factors of cases dismissed on mere technicalities (the bane of law) out of hand in most respects if it can be demonstrated that the pursuit of justice would likely results in a differing result than the technicality excludes. In essence, if it is known that a party is guilty by the facts at hand, or quite probably guilty, then a technicality may not be justified to excuse the guilt of the party and Justice must be pursued, not the letter of the law of procedures.
‘SALVATION’
Salvation is having an eternal relationship with God. Not a temporal one – not one of a few hundred, a few thousand or even a few million years. It is one of ETERNITY. And this relationship can and should be found by everyone. Only in GOD can we expect to have eternal life. Only by HIS power can we hope to live forever. For Yahweh is the source of life, love, morality, truth and peace. In HIS Kingdom – in HIS knowledge – we gain Salvation and enjoy eternal life.
Noahide Tales
Elam and Asshur’s Lesson
(A Very Short Noahide Story – by Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly)
Grandpa Noah was in the vineyard one fine day, picking grapes. Young Elam and Asshur, his grandsons through Shem, were also busy picking some grapes. Just then, Elam yelled out. ‘Grandpa Noah! Quick! There is a Lion,’ said Elam, pointing to a lion which was approaching them. Noah told Elam and Asshur to stand behind him, and he reached for his spear. The Lion came closer and closer. The situation was tense. And, suddenly, it sprang at Noah. Yet, brave Grandpa Noah, spear in hand, pierced the Lion in the heart, and it died, slowly bleeding to death.
Elam looked at the dying Lion. ‘It might make good food, Grandpa. What do you think?’ Noah looked down at the dying Lion. ‘Lion’s are unclean animals, young Elam. The covenant our great God has made with us does permit us to eat unclean animals, yet I feel it is perhaps not always for the best. And, of course, we may never eat the blood of any animal.’ Asshur looked at his Grandpa. ‘Why can’t we eat the blood?’ Noah came over to Asshur, scruffed him on the head, and replied. ‘The life is in the blood young Asshur. It is what sustains and gives us life. God has forbidden us eating it because of that reason.’ ‘I see,’ replied Asshur.
They dragged the Lion to the edge of the Vineyard and placed stones over the body to hide it from vultures.
‘What was it like before the flood?’ Elam asked his grandfather. Noah, wiping the sweat from his brow, looked down at his young grandson. ‘They were violent times, young Elam. Violent times. People hated each other. They stole from each other rampantly – nobody’s possessions were ever safe. And even some of the wicked men worshipped carved idols made of animals and sea creatures, even the stars and moon. They worshipped these idols and mistakenly believed that these were the spirits of life who ruled the world. Often, such men insulted those of the LORD who tried to teach them the right way, even insulting the glory of the LORD. They blasphemed his holy name and despised our ancient traditions. Men would sleep with other Men’s wives, and even with each other which the LORD hates. It was, young Elam, in truth the most immoral of times in our history. And because of this – because the wickedness was so great – God judged the world and sent the great flood.’ Elam nodded, soberly taking in that information.
‘Grandpa,’ began Asshur. ‘What can we do to make sure the world never becomes like that again?’ Noah looked at him firmly. ‘The LORD commands us to make Law Courts. To have judges who judge our communities to ensure that we obey God and live in peace with each other. My child, we must have mercy and patience with those who transgress God’s holy laws, as he is merciful and patient with us. But, if they continue to disobey, we must punish them to preserve the law, order and peace in the world. By doing such we bring happiness to the world – we continue to make it a better place – returning it to the glory of Eden. Dear Grand-children. Every time you look at the Rainbow, think on these laws, and with your children and your children’s children, teach them, everlastingly so, to be faithful to God and the laws of holiness.’ Elam and Asshur looked up at their wise grandfather, smiled, and returned to picking grapes. And another day passed in the life of Noah and those who God had redeemed from the rest of mankind.
THE END
Japheth's Concerns
(A Very Short Noahide Story – by Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly)
Japheth, one afternoon, in the vineyard of his father, was looking at the grapes. Some grapes were looking ripe, and they had picked them most of the day, he and his brothers. But after the first gleaning, Noah had come up to him and stayed his hand.
'There are many of us now, son. Our community has grown, and some of my great-grand-children are not hard workers.'
'They are lazy, father,' said Japheth sombrely.
'Which, I guess, is how the Lord made them. Yet leave the grapes. Let the poor always choose from after the first gleaning, and let them always be at peace that our family will provide charity for those less able.'
Japheth's own grand children, and there were many, had amongst their numbers a few who were not entirely given over to the labour's he'd endured building the ark. There, they had saved the world, and mankind had been born anew, but some took this so much for granted. How hopeless the heart of so many of God's own children.
But as he walked along, and looked at the grapes, and looked at the barrel full of grapes, the Lord spoke to his heart.
'See, child, how there are some fat and healthy grapes, without blemish, pure and enjoyable to eat. And see also how some are less healthy, and blemished, and of poor condition.'
'I do see that,' said Japheth.
'In a way, that is life. There are those who strive and succeed, for they are healthy, and made well and shine in the image of their heavenly father. But there are others, less fortunate, who do not have the abilities and skills of others, and are less fortunate and less graced with passion for life.'
'The blemished,' thought Japheth to himself.
'Yet all are grapes, and all make wine,' said the Spirit to Japheth's heart.
Japheth learned mercy that day, realising not all God's children were given what other's were. Yet all were family, and all deserving of the love of God and their brethren.
And another day passed in the life of those redeemed amongst mankind.
THE END
The Raven and the Dove
(A Very Short Noahide Story – by Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly)
The
Raven sat on the branch, contemplating the scene below. Three
tireless workers, and the older father figure, toiling away, working
on the big boat. The raven heard the term, often, 'Ark of Salvation',
which it seemed to understand as referring to the Ark but, as Raven's
were not as smart as humans, was not quite sure.
The Dove,
sitting up the branch a little, also surveying the scene, turned to
the Raven and asked. 'Why is the boat so big? Are they planning on
travelling far, do you think?'
The Raven considered the
question before responding 'God only knows.'
Months came and
went, and the Raven and the Dove, having come aboard the Ark, were up
near the side window, which the old man had opened that day, as it
had finally stopped raining. 'Freaky,' said the Raven, looking out.
'There is water everywhere.'
'It
is all the rain, dear Raven,' replied the Dove.
'You know, Dove,
if this is the only boat and all the others have drowned, then I
don't think I will ever leave the boat. It will probably end in no
good, if you know what I mean. Leave this boat and who knows what
trouble you could get in to.'
The dove considered the Raven's
point, yet replied. 'I will take my chances. I mean, how possibly bad
could it be? What, would they kill me or something?'
'Maybe,' said
the Raven. 'But this God thing the old man speaks about, I think he
sent all the rain. You better not be too cocky, or he will punish you
as well.'
'Oh, I am not worried. There are plenty of doves here,
and I think we will be fine.'
'Whatever,' said the Raven.
And
time passed.
And the old man opened the window, and let the
Raven go. The Raven flew out and looked all around, finding no safe
land anywhere, so returned to the Ark. The old man took him back in,
and petted his head lovingly. The Raven looked at the dove. 'I am
never leaving, you know. Never leaving the old man. He has taken care
of us when everything else was destroyed.' The dove nodded, starting
to understand.
A little later on the Dove was released, found
an olive leaf, but in considering the words of the Raven returned to
be safe and sound.
Yet, in the testing of the dove, the dove
was released again, and decided, because of the newness of the world
- how it had been refreshed - that it would leave the man and take
its chances. It would see just were its own freedom in life could
take it.
Yet the Raven remained. And as years past, and as the
communities of Ravens and Doves grew once more, the Raven kept in
mind the lesson of the Ark and the Flood and, seeing the Old man's
descendants sacrifice doves regularly, it wondered to itself just how
long it would take before the Dove realized that, at the end, when
the second and final punishment came, that there would be only one
safe place then, and that was with the old man and the Ark.
THE END
Noah and the 7th Rainbow
(A Very Short Noahide Story – by Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly)
Noah had been collecting rainbows. Well, maybe, that was a strange way of putting it. Rainbows. You could hardly collect the sign of God’s great covenant with him and his children. They were made of colours – how could you collect colours? They sat in the sky, on rainy days, happy, lovely, beaming their glory. Beautiful. And now he had collected 6 of them – 5 more since the first magnificent, glorious one, he had seen on the day of the covenant. And now he waited for the seventh rainbow.
In heaven, there were 7 Seraphim Angels of Glory which watched over the children of Noah. These were the 7 Noahide Angels. They were not the 7 Archangels in waiting, which one day God would send to the people of Israel. Nor were they the 7 angels of the Man from Nazareth and his followers, or the 7 angels of the Prophet from what would become Mecca and his followers. Those latter groups of 7 angels were made, before the days of creation, put aside for those peoples of the books, to guide them in all their tribulations.
But the 7 Seraphim Angels of Glory were Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Phanuel and Saruviel. They were the eternal Noahide Archangels of Glory.
And Saruviel, the seventh angel, dropped down to see Noah seated upon the rock with his wife Titea, looking out at the raining valley, and with his great power, upon the will of the Most High, brought forth the sun and clouds in a particular manner, and the 7th Rainbow of Noah’s life shone forth in all its glory.
‘There,’ said Titea. ‘The 7th Rainbow. You can now rest in peace.’
And Noah said ‘Amen.’
THE END
Ham on the Grog
(A Very Short Noahide Story – by Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly)
'Stuff
him,' said Ham.
Titea softened, and straightened her dress, and
sat down with Ham on board of the rotting ark.
'Your father is
concerned, Ham. That is no attitude to have.'
'I saw him naked,
you know. Stupid Shem and Japheth covered him up, but I saw the old
man. Thinks he's too holy to show himself to the world.'
'You
would mock your father's holiness,' she queried.
'Not his
holiness,' said Ham. 'He doesn't have any. We worked for a century on
that ark. And over and over again we check for holes and leaks, all
to satisfy the whims of the Almighty.'
'Do you think those
precautions were unnecessary.'
'He has an attitude. Authoritarian.
Shem is just like that. More so, I reckon. Up himself.'
Naamah
spoke up. 'Noah, when he was young, saw a lot of the heart of man,
Ham. The Almighty chose our family from the world, and we were saved.
Do you think he can afford to be anything but careful.'
'Stuff
him,' said Ham, yet again.
'He'll curse you,' said Shem softly,
eating a bit of meat.'
'Go drain the blood of your lamb, and Noah
can get stuffed,' responded Ham.
A figure, which had been
sleeping, stirred. Noah sat up, rubbed away some gunk from his eyes,
and looked at his son Ham.
'You don't listen to Titea either,'
said Noah. 'Your own daughter, and you don't even take her wise
counsel.'
'She married you,' said Ham. 'She's no daughter of
mine.'
'Your insolent,' Noah said to him.
'He's right,' said
Canaan, to Noah. 'You are an authoritarian. You have no grace. You
and your blasted God have no grace. Father tells me what it was like
before the flood. You thought yourself better then them all. You
refused to save those who might have been. If you had cared. If you
hadn't been so blasted holy.'
No glared at his grand-son Canaan,
and a curse settled into his thoughts. But that curse was uttered
later that day, in Shem's presence, and Shem remembered it, but
refused to speak of it later to Ham and Canaan. Neither was he
terribly impressed with the attitude of Ham, who had been on grog far
too much of recent times.
Canaan suddenly got angry, stood and
looked at Noah. 'Your an old fool,' he lashed out of him, and stormed
out of the ark.
'Forgive him,' said Titea to Noah softly.
But
Noah had fixed an opinion of his son's, and would not relent of his
anger.
THE END
Magog's indiscretion
(A Very Short Noahide Story – by Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly)
'I don't like the way he is looking at her,' said Noah. 'He should know better. Titea is embarrassed.'
'I don't think Magog is an idiot,' replied Naamah, mother of Shem, Ham and Japheth.
'I don't like it,' said Noah.
Magog found himself alone with Titea, one afternoon. She was gathering grapes in the vineyard, and he touched her from behind.
'No, Magog. It's wrong,' she replied.
'Noah doesn't love you. Not like I do,' he said. 'Lay with me. I will sire you an empire. I promise you.' And with such vain words he
wooed her, and she succumbed.
When Boath was born 9 months later, Noah had calmed down. He loved the child, and knew him as his great-grand son. But his anger
at Magog's transgression was known to the whole community.
'Forgive me,' Titea pleaded her husband Noah. 'But you have given me no offspring, and now, it seems, you won't again. For your
zest seems hampered.'
'It is not to lust at all times. It is for the chosen of the Lord to abstain also, and show chastity. You have ruined my name.'
'Then do not let the details abound into perpetuity,' she responded. 'Let me be a figure for Boath's generations, and let that be its
own tradition, my beloved. I will keep my faith with you now. I will not succumb again.'
Noah cradled her, and looked over at the sleeping Boath. What grand nation would such a child father? Who, indeed, would be
the generations of Boath? Who indeed.

Haven Noahide Fellowship - Policy on illegal drugs
Haven believes in rule of law, and the importance of its members following the laws of society. In general we believe it is important for individuals to form their own moral judgements on illicit drugs andtheir status as to morality. However, from the founder of the fellowship's perspective, I teach personally that drugs which are manufactured naturally from natural substances, like Marijuana and and drugs made directly from plants, should NOT be illegalized, as are part of the design of God's nature, and in fact SHOULD be used by people on special celebratory occasions, which is part of the 7DF's naturalistic way of life principles. We believe smoking dope is normal, and not an offense against God at all. We do believe, though, that moderation needs to be practiced, and it is improper for people on 'highs' to get involved with paid or official work or driving or using dangerous machinery. On the other hand, chemically manufactured drugs, which do not occur naturally, are not recommended by our fellowship for personal use when such drugs cause hectic or harmful side effects. Ultimately, if the drug is derived from plants in a natural process it is acceptable in our doctrine for personal use, and we favour the abolishment of drug laws forbidding 'Naturally occurring' drug related items.

God's responsibilities towards the 7 Divine Fellowships
(Written Monday the 24th of December 2012 CE/AD - 24th of December 6176 SC)
Marriage
God provided a wife for Adam. Her name was Eve. Part of God's responsibilities towards members of the 7 Divine Fellowships is to find them suitable marriage partners for marital rights and procreation. In this world it can often be difficult to find the right partner, especially one of credible enough spiritual worth, thus it is God's responsibility to watch over our assemblies and ensure we marry and marry the most suitable candidate for us.
Growth of the Assembly
As a God-fearing Noahide assembly, which is seeking the will of God, God has a moral responsibility with the establishment of the Fellowships as a whole to develop and grow them to a suitable and everlasting size on the world stage. Like the Rainbow which endures forever, it is important that God keep faith with mankind and provide an eternal witness of Karaite Noahide faith, as emphasised in the ongoing and eternal development of the 7DF in mankind on planet earth.
Rights to basic needs and wants
Members of the 7DF who faithfully serve God have a right to the following:
Food, Clothing, Shelter, Entertainment, Marital Rights, Success in life, Prosperity & Offspring, protection from all forms of harm by society, a happy future
Answering of ALL prayers
God is required to answer every last one of our prayers to the best of our interests. Naturally, prayers may clash with the requests of other people's prayers in society, and the balancing out of how these prayers are then answered is part of the wisdom and knowledge of God. Yet your prayers are never prayed in vain either way. You can have every prayer answered by God if it is a moral and acceptable prayer for your life development. Don't take this to mean you can pray for a winning in the lottery and expect it as, after all, there are potentially many other members of the community who likewise are praying such prayers. But we stress - Prayers are NEVER in vain, as God desires to know what we want and answers them in our best interests and the best interests of society. Praying against the success of a rival is NOT really that acceptable in the 7DF morals. It IS acceptable to pray for our own success, but not against the success of a rival, unless that rival is displaying consistent ungodly behaviour. Prayers also have to be realistic, possible in the natural order of things, and within the confines of a 'Moral' prayer. God is the ultimate judge. Perseverance in prayer is mandated by ourselves, and the use of a Psalm from the Rainbow Bible used in concurrence with the prayer request to sanctify the prayer request, should be prayed 50 times (the psalm uttered literally that many times) for an eternal effect in your generation, or 100 times for an eternal effect in every subsequent generation. (or, at least, this is the faith of the Advancing Noah Movement, but the prayers may ultimately have only so much power in them. It is closely guarded information by the Spirit.) This is how the Holy Spirit has advised me. Faith is important.
