Samaria was founded by Omri
and served as a burial place for the Kings
of Israel. For Mr. Knight to claim that they were true Israelites is
rubbish, for Jesus forbid the apostles to preach
in the towns of Samaria. Moreover, Samaria was destroyed by John
Hyrcanus in 119 B.C., but was reestablished under
Pompey and the Romans in 63 B. C.
Debunked, Samaria was
the CAPITOL of the House of Israel. How
can you say there were no Israelites there?
Yes, the muds and mamzers
and cruds were imported to displace the Israelites who were taken into
captivity, but there were still many Israelites, of the House of ISRAEL,
who weren’t taken into captivity, and many who returned later.
Isa 8:4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My
father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria
shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
Herod the Great, the Idumean,
obtained control over Samaria 30 years later and made it one of the chief
cities of his territory. The city was repopulated with people from
diverse places throughout the ancient world. Herod renamed the city Sebaste, the Greek word for Augustus, the Roman
Emperor.
Amo 6:1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and
trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of
the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
2Ki 17:29 Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them
in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every
nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
2Ki 17:30 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth
made Nergal, and the men of Hamath
made Ashima,
2Ki 17:31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites
burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
Yes, but these five
different RACES, who served FIVE DIFFERENT gods, who the Assyrian king
brought in to displace the Samaritans and destroy Samaria, were NEVER
called Samaritans. Because they were
NOT of the House of Israel.
When the Jews revolted against Rome in 66 A. D., the
Romans leveled the city. Biblically, the prophet Amos denounced King Omri for building an ivory palace at Samaria. The
husband of Jezebel, Ahab, made the city a centre of worship for the pagan
god, Baal, under the influence of his wife. Jezebel also had many
prophets of Yahweh slain in Samaria. [1Kings 16:29-33]
Isa 7:9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the
head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye
will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
Who is Ephraim? THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. What is the “head” or capitol of the
House of Israel? SAMARIA. Who is the “head” or king of
Samaria? Remaliah’s
son.
Do you deny Omri was an ISRAELITE, of the House of ISRAEL?
Many crimes were committed in this city, which became
a centre of demon worship.
Of course.
That’s what always happens when the House of
Israel is displaced with nigger and kikes and other muds
and mamzers.
However, Jesus DID approach PURE ISRAELITES in Samaria, didn’t He?
Joh 4:40 So when the Samaritans
were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry
with them: and he abode there two days.
Joh 4:41 And many more believed
because of his own word;
Samaria fell to Assyria in the year 721 B.C., in
fulfillment of numerous Biblical prophecies.
After the Assyrian conquest, Samaria rapidly shrunk
in size. By NT times it became identified with the central
region of Palestine, with Galilee in the north and Judea to the
south. Moreover, when the Assyrians conquered Israel and exiled
27,290 Israelites, a small "remnant of Israel" remained in the
land. Assyrian captives from distant places also settled there
[2Kings 17:24].
2Ch 25:23 And Joash the
king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the
son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz,
at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem,
and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner
gate, four hundred cubits.
2Ch 25:24 And he
took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were
found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the
treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
2Ch 28:8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of
their brethren [the House of Judah] two hundred thousand, women, sons, and
daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil
to Samaria.
2Ch 28:9 But a
prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded:
and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the
LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into
your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth
up unto heaven.
2Ch 28:10 And now ye
purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and
bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even
with you, sins against the LORD your God?
Why did the House of
Israel bring all the plunder, and 200,000 captives, from the House of
Judah, to Samaria? Because it was an
Israelite vacation spot? Because
they just buried their kings there?
This led to intermarriage between some, though not
all, of the Israelites and Gentiles, which in turn led to the worship of
alien gods. By the time the Jews returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the
temple and the walls of the city, Ezra and Nehemiah refused to allow the
Samaritans a share in the experience. [Neh
4:7, Ezra 4:1,3]
WHAT!?
These verses say no
such thing.
Neh 4:7 But it
came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made
up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very
wroth,
Neh 4:8 And conspired all of them together
to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
IN fact, Ezra says
EXACTLY the opposite, that the jews
wanted to help the Israelite rebuild the Temple, and the Israelites said
“Ye have nothing to do with us to build a house unto our God”.
Ezr 4:1 Now
when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the
captivity built the temple unto the LORD God of Israel;
Ezr 4:2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said
unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do;
and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esar-haddon
king of Assur, which brought us up hither.
Ezr 4:3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and
the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have
nothing to do with us to build a house unto our God; but we ourselves
together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of
Persia hath commanded us.
Joh 4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to
his son Joseph.
The Jewish inhabitants of Samaria identified Mount Gerizim as the chosen place of God and the only
legitimate centre of worship, calling it the 'navel of the earth,' because
of a tradition that Adam had sacrificed there. Their Scriptures were
limited to the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible. Moses
was regarded as the only prophet and intercessor at the final judgment.
They believed that 6,000 years after creation, a
"Restorer" would arise who would live on earth for 110
years. On judgment day the righteous would be resurrected in paradise
and the wicked roasted in eternal hell fire.
Why did Jesus refuse
to “walk in jewry”? Because the jews
were trying to KILL Him, and there were no jews
in Galilee and Samaria:
Joh 7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry,
because the Jews sought to kill him.
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
In the time of Christ, relations
between the Jews and Samaritans was greatly strained. The
animosity was so great the Jews bypassed Samaria as they traveled between
Galilee and Judea. Yet Jesus rebuked his own disciples for their
hostility to the Samaritans. [Luke 9L 55,56]
OF COURSE,
DEBUNKED—BECAUSE SAMARITANS ARE ISRAELITES.
Note that He did NOT
exhort His Disciples to go to the House of Judah, to Edomites,
nor to “they who say they are jews and are not
but are of the SINagogue of SATAN”.
Ezr 4:17 Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum
the chancellor, and to Shimshai the
scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria,
and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.
Ezr 4:18 The letter which ye sent unto us
hath been plainly read before me.
Ezr 4:19 And I
commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old
time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and
sedition have been made therein.
Ezr 4:20 There have been mighty kings also
over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the
river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
Ezr 4:21 Give ye now commandment to cause
these men to cease, and that this city be not built, until another
commandment shall be given from me.
Ezr 4:22 Take heed now that ye fail not to
do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
Ezr 4:23 Now
when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was
read before Rehum, and Shimshai
the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto
the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
Ezr 4:24 Then ceased the work of the house
of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of
the reign of Darius king of Persia.
He also healed a Samaritan leper [Luke 17:16], honoured a Samaritan for his neighbourliness
[Luke 10: 30-37], praised a Samaritan for his gratitude, [Luke 17: 11-18],
asked a drink of a Samaritan woman [John 4:7], and even preached to the
Samaritans [John 4:40-42].
SURE. BECAUSE THEY WERE ISRAELITES, OF THE
HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
God used the House of
Israel to slap the House of Judah on the side of the head “turning it
upside down���:
2Ki 21:11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done
these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the
Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin
with his idols:
2Ki 21:12 Therefore
thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am
bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
2Ki 21:13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of
Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as
a man wipeth a dish, wiping it,
and turning it upside down.
Finally, in Acts 1:8, Jesus challenged his disciples
to witness in Samaria. Phillip, a deacon, opened a mission in
Samaria. [Acts 8:5]
Act 8:5 Then Philip
went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
Act 8:14 Now when
the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the
word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
Act 8:25 And they, when they had testified and preached the
word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many
villages of the Samaritans.
Act 9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and
Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord,
and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Act 15:3 And being brought on their way by the church, they
passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the
Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
Thus, Mr. Knight is wrong on nearly all points, as I
see it.
I get the impression,
debunked, that you’re a nigger or a mamzer: please
say it ain’t so!
