Having did research for my ancestry, I found out that a King of the Northern Israel bought a field for a New Capitol City. He named it after the previous owner, Samaria. In time the entire region was called Samaria. In theses verses we see that the Disciples was called to go to the House of Israel. This is to say those who are not Jews and not of the house of Israel. (Jews are the tribe of Judah. They are called Children of Israel.) What is interesting is, not to go the way of the Gentiles. In other words, do not travel near Canaanite Cities. By that time, Northern Israelites who stayed was a mixed race. They lost their name and their faith and was called Samaritans. However there were a few still called by the Israelite tribal names.
And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
It's interesting that Priest and Pastors do not say today that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. They look for handouts, mostly 10% off the top of what your gross income is. Some don't believe in doctors. If the Priest cannot heal you or raise the dead, it's a no-brainer to call EMTs or see a doctor. Those who have a Demon, get ignored.
Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, or a bag for your journey, or even two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support.
Today to be a Priest or Pastor you will receive a salary, housing, and discounts. You are required to have a bachelor's degree with a focus on philosophy and theology. Also followed by several years of study at a seminary. That is a lot different than just having the clothing on your back. Today they are funded and travel in luxury.
And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave. Now as you enter the house, give it your greeting. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Today Pastors or Priests stay for years in one area and never once discovered people who are worthy of fellowship. There are people today who have been socially wounded by uncompassionate people from the church. Perhaps those people need to brush the dust off after stepping into a church and found it not worthy.
And whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you leave that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. Matthew 10:5-15
The day of judgment has not come yet for the church. Jerusalem was destroyed in the year 70. History does repeat itself. In 1223 Batu Khan led a Mongol invasion into Europe. Pope Honorius 3rd has conquered Palestine.
Mongols had destroyed the Georgian army, which prevented them from helping the European crusaders. In return, the Pope wanted peace through Mongolian submission to Him. What is interesting is that Mongolian Catholic war was forgotten and the Inquisition began by Gregory 9th. Inquisitions began 1228 and lasted to 1834 attacking Protestants and Jews. If it wasn't for the Chinese, the Mongolian Empire would have taken Rome. The question is, what if there's a next time?
But what does that have to do with what is a Samaritan? Northern Israelites had migrated into Europe. Today they are a mixed race like that in of the Samaritans.
Then there was Martin Luther, I quote. (The pope's power was "false, mischievous, blasphemous, and arrogant". The pope was a child of the Devil who wanted to destroy the Church. The pope had no power over the souls who were in Purgatory. The pope's bulls and books were diabolical affairs that ruined the Christian Church. The pope claimed to be Christ's representative on earth, but Luther believed he was the devil's representative.)
I must ask, where are the Peacemakers in all this? Let our peace return to us if we are not welcome to give peace to the world. I must say that Pope John Paul 2nd apologized for the Inquisition in the year 2000. He also apologized for the church burning people at the stake. He was the first non-Italian pope in over 450 years serving from 1978-2005.
The next thing I was going to talk about was the Samaritan woman at the well in John chapter 4. However let's talk about Nablus. This is the location of the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well.
Today the Samaritans are known as Palestinians. About 2000 years have passed and things haven't changed that much.
I quote, "Women in Nablus, Palestine face challenges such as war, displacement, and gender discrimination. Laws in Palestine assume women are under the protection of men. Women and girls may not have access to safe shelter, food, water, or menstrual hygiene products. Palestinian Christian women have faced violence and threats from settlers. The Christian community in Nablus has been shrinking since the Israeli occupation of the West Bank in 1948 and 1967."
And Yahusha answered and said to them, “See to it that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. And you are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains.
It's easy to blame those who have a record of hating you, you being their neighbor. But in all battles, the weak get abused and the powerful hide their sins though spinning fabricated stories so they look good on the outside. Christians see Yahusha as their Savior and Messiah. Muslims see Him as a Prophet. The Jews see Yahusha as a sorcerer, not a prophet and not Messiah. Also they see Yahusha as cursed. They see the Romans as who was responsible for Yahusha's death. They see Christianity as apostasy, a falling away from their faith. Where does Peace begin in all this?
Yahusha answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst—ever; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
From that very day, there was a Christian population there, starting with a Samaritan woman. Today there's only a few hundred people who face attacks by Palestinians and Jews. The last Christian in Nablus will probably be a Samaritan woman called a Palestinian.
Water at the well could be an example of world trade. You have nations that other nations boycott. There's hostel nations that is unsafe to travel in. Then there is invasions of people that are unwelcome because they make everything look like the dysfunctional nation they came from. The answer is not world trade, it is the living water and the bread of life that vis still the answer. Everything starts not with pride of being born of a respected race, it starts with those like a Samaritan woman. The problem are those who would abuse her. This could be the guy she lives with or the military that walks her neighborhood. A city was changed by Yahusha, Messiah Son of the house Joseph and Son of the House of David just by asking for water.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Yahusha said to her, “Give Me a drink.” For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, “How do You, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) Yahusha answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
Yahusha pointed out a major problem with the world today. People don't know who Yahusha called Jesus is. Satan still deceives the children of Eve.
She said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?
In this woman's response, we know that her ancestry goes back to Jacob. She is probably of mixed race like people today. It's also interesting that she hasn't forgotten who her distant grandfather was.
Yahusha answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst—ever; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come back here to draw.”
Still this woman didn't fully understand the gift Yahusha was about to give her. She only understood when Yahusha told her about herself and her past and current guy she was living with. The woman said to Him, “Sir, I see that You are a prophet.
I believe Elohiym is leading me to comment on Samaritans of today and who they worship. But first let us look at the forgotten gods of the Canaanite past.
First is EL. He was the supreme god married to Asherah. She was a fertility god. He was the father of Baal, Anat, Yahweh, and Yam. Notice how the Canaanites used names like EL and Yahwey. Muslims say Allah has no son. Therefore they reject the Canaanite EL and family. But yet EL is in the name Allah. EL and AL is the same thing. Satan has used language for the purposes of deception.
Asherah was the Consort of EL and Baal. That is incest. Baal is a god of fertility, rain, and storms. Previously he was called Hadad. Yahwey is said to have created universe with animals and humans but also an angry god that leads attacks against enemies. Yam is the Canaanite god of the Sea, storms and chaos. Also depicted as violent, angry, and tyrannical. It's like being in a story like Alice in wonderland. Satan cannot think of anything new. He can only corrupt what was good. Corruption is changing the flow of reward to someone not deserving of it.
If a farmer purchased seed and planted it in his field. He then took care of it during it's growing season, he should be the one to harvest it tax free. It should be his decision to use it or sell it at a fair price.
What happened to Northern Israel was that they did not take care of their Nation. They adopted Baal and lost their people. Who remained became hybrid descendants. The question is, does Yahuah Elohiym still want to harvest them for His own. Yahusha knew the Samaritan woman's ancestors. It is like mine, a child of all the sons of Noah. Today there is no Greek, Jew or Scythian. But yet the Antichrist Spirit wants racist hatred because it is a tool of corruption. By unfair trading and hatred, the few become powerful. In the eyes of Antichrist, by having compassion on your neighbor, you become the enemy of the State. The fruit of Compassion is Unity.
