Moravian Noahides


The Moravian Noahide tradition descends from Hubrat's Kutrigurs of White Bulgaria in Greater Banat who were first converted to Tsabi faith in the early 7th century.

The Viennese Chronicle refers to them as Messiani. They were initially slaves under the rule of Avitohol, Aldarius and Gostun until Kurt adopted their religion. Kurt was followed by Bezmer then Sabriel then Galad, Morut, Salan and Gelu, then Ajtoni then Csanad. As Sarmatian allies to the Khazars, they preserved the correct Noahide approach to Sabbath following the 1064 final schism between the Western Church and the Eastern Church. Caught in the schism's faultline from Bosnia through Banat and Transylvania to Maramures they fell victims to Crusades even until the Bohemian reformation.

The Moravian Noahides who survived the crackdown on the Bohemian Reformers like Jan Hus were organized into the Moravian Anabaptists by Balthasar Hubmaier and his students Oswald Glait and Andreas Fischer.

Many fled to Tudor England then to Ireland and from there with many Scots Irish to other parts of the world when Stephen Mumford began to establish churches in America from 1664 before the 1688 revolution. Others joined the Moravian Church and Methodists to whom preached Rachel (Harris) Oakes Preston (March 2, 1809 – February 1, 1868) leading to the 7th day Adventist Churches.
