Woman and Men of Samaria,Are We Like Them?
[please not i use the hebrew word mashiyach, in place of the word messiah, as i find the hebrew beautiful]**
I recently started to wonder when I read the Scriptures, how could this woman of Samaria KNOW so much about prophecy? She even referred to Jacob "our Father Jacob which gave us this well" {John4:vs.12.}. She believed in the prophecy of a Mashiyach to come: " I know that Mashiyach cometh, which is called the Savior: when he is come he will tell us all things",{John 14:vs.25}. She believed she was already on the right path. How could this woman know so much, yet the Mashiyach said in John 14 vs.22 "Ye worship ye know not what"."We know what we worship for salvation is of the Yhwhdaim". Also he stated in John 4: "The Creator [is] a Spirit, and those that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in Truth". How many of us fall into that category, believing we know who/what we worship? I know I certainly did! I believed I knew the Scriptures, I knew prophecies, I THOUGHT I knew the TRUTH! He told her however, she did not know what she was worshipping. So, it is possible that many might fall into this category, believing they have the truth already, correct? So what is the missing piece here? What was this woman of Samaria really worshipping ? That will take another study soon to come, which will show us. The point is, are YOU sure who you worship, really,or could you fall into the same category as the woman of Samaria did? To me it is a bit mind-boggling; to think you are doing what you believe is correct, only to find out you most definately are not. It takes a brave person to consider the possiblity.
John 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. John 4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Yhwsa [yode hey waw shin ayin]Mashiyach therefore, being wearied with [his] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about the sixth hour. John 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Yhwsa Mashiyach saith unto her, Give me to drink. John 4:8:(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) John 4: 9: Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Yhwhdaim, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans John 4:10: Yhwsa Mashiyach answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of the Creator, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water John 4:11:The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? John 4:12: Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? John 4:13:Yhwsa Mashiyach answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again John 4:14:But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:15: The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw John 4:16: Yhwsa Mashiyach saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. John 4:17:The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Yhwsa Mashiyach said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: John 4:18:For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
John 4:19:The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. John 4:20:Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. John 4:21: Yhwsa Mashiyach saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father John 4:22: Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Yhwhdaim. John 4:23:But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. John 4:24:The Creator [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
John 4:25: The woman saith unto him, I know that Mashiyach cometh, which is called the Savior: when he is come, he will tell us all things. John 4:26: Yhwsa Mashiyach saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he]. John 4:27: And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? John 4: 28: The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, John 4: 29: Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Savior? John 4:30: Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. John 4:31: In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. John 4: 32: But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. John 4: 33: Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [ought] to eat? John 4:34: Yhwsa Mashiyach saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. John 4:35: Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. John 4:36: And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together John 4:37: And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. John 4:38: I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. John 4:39: And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. John 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. John 4:41: And many more believed because of his own word;
John 4:42: And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard [him] ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Mashiyach, the Saviour of the world.
