Woman from Samaria

John 4:1-43, is about Messiah speaking to a Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob. Let’s look at verses 20-24 of John 4.

The woman said to Messiah her forefathers worshipped on the mountain they were standing on but the Jews say that only in Jerusalem can Father be worshipped - verse 20.

Messiah then said, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father - verse 21.

What did Messiah mean!!! "You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because the deliverance is of the Yedudim (Jews) - verse 22.

Let’s see what the Messiah meant by this.

Psalm 147:19, Declaring His Word to Jacob, His laws and His right-rulings to Israel.

Isaiah 2:3, And many peoples shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahuah, to the House of the Elohim of Jacob, and let Him teach us His ways, and let us walk in His paths, for out of Sion (Tsiyon) comes forth the Torah (law), and the Word of Yahuah from Jerusalem."

 

Isaiah 14:1, Because Yahuah has compassion on Jacob, and shall again choose Israel, and give them rest in their own land. And the strangers shall join them, and they shall cling to the house of Jacob.

Isaiah 56:6-8, "Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to Yahuah (Heavenly Father), to serve Him, and to love the Name of Yahuah, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and are holding onto My covenant. Them I shall bring to My set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer.......... for My house is called a house of prayer for the people's." The Master Yahuah, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares, "I gather still others (nations) to him (Israel) besides those who are gathered to him."

Are you starting to understand?

Ezekiel 47:22-23, “And it shall be that you divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the strangers who sojourn in your midst and who bear children among you. And they shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel - with you they have inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel. "And it shall be that in whatever tribe the stranger sojourns, there you give him his inheritance," declares the Master Yahuah.

Zechariah 2:10-11, "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Sion (Tsiyon)! For look, I am coming and shall dwell in your midst," declares Yahuah. "And many nations shall be joined to Yahuah in that day, and they shall become My people. And I shall dwell in your midst. And you shall know that Yahuah of hosts has sent Me to you.

Zechariah 8:23, "This said Yahuah of hosts, In those days ten men from all languages of the nations take hold, yes, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehudi (Jew = tribe Judah), saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you."

Romans 2:20, an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Torah (law) (tribes of Judah).

Romans 3:2, much in every way! Because firstly indeed, that they (Yehudi - Jew) were entrusted with the Words of Elohim.

Romans 9:4, who are the children of Israel, to whom is the adoption, and the esteem, and the covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the worship, and the promises.

Revelation 21:12, and having a great and high wall, having 12 gates, and at the gates 12 messengers, and names written on them which are those of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel.

Revelation 21:24, and the nations, of those who are saved, shall walk in its light, and the sovereigns of the earth bring their esteem into it.

Are you getting the picture now? Let’s go back to John 4:23-24.....

Then Messiah says the following to the woman at the well: (John 4:23, )"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him.

Verse 24, "Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth."

Now what is worship or worshippers mean - it is obedience, by worshipping Elohim you are obeying Him.

Elohim is Spirit and we have a spirit, therefore our spirit, which is given by Father, connects to His Spirit which is in us once we have accepted Him(been born from above).

What is truth - the Torah is truth (it teaches Fathers' ways) and who is the living Torah, it is Yahusha Messiah (Jesus), who came to renew it with us all.

The scriptures clearly state (different chapters) that strangers/other nations can and did join to Israel and were accepted into one of the tribes and were adopted into Israel – known as an Israelite.

It is also very clear reading the scripture from Genesis to Revelation that only Israel will enter into the new Kingdom of Yahuah.

Clearly in scripture there is a seed that is bad which follows satan and there is a good seed that follows the only living Elohim, who created the heavens and the earth and everything in it and He is Yahuah (Heavenly Father).

An Israelite is not about color, your looks, your good manners, your success or how well you know the scriptures it is about complying with the covenant of Yahuah and having the Torah written on your heart, having the witness of Messiah and loving Him with all your mind, soul and heart.

To Heavenly Father it is all about your heart. Your heart will be in covenant with Yahusha (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit will teach you His covenant.

Father knows who you worshipping when He looks into your heart.
