Mike,
God’s own people are an unthankful lot. It is the outcasts, the Samaritans among them, who are grateful for what He is doing.  Sorry… I should have included the above sentence from your email below, in the previous message.  The Samaritans are the ‘outcasts’.  They are not us, and they are not the ‘church’, because they are called, just not chosen…. right?  So… are they the ‘world’?  Thanks…

Hi J____,
You ask:
The Samaritans are the ‘outcasts’.  They are not us, and they are not the ‘church’, because they, the church, are called, just not chosen…. right?  So… are they the ‘world’?

The physical Samaritans are the descendants of the inhabitants of Samaria, and Samaria was the capital of the northern kingdom called Israel after it broke away from Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, very shortly after the death of Solomon. The people had requested that Rehoboam lower their taxes after the death of Solomon, and Rehoboam had told them he intended to raise their taxes instead of lowering them. So the ten northern tribes broke away and established a separate nation with Jeroboam as their new king. In order to keep the 10 northern tribes from going back to Jerusalem for the annual holy days, Jeroboam established a temple and put a golden calf in the temple in Samaria, and instituted a festival in the eighth month instead of the seventh month.
For this reason Samaritans came to be looked down on as Judah’s and Jerusalem’s very worst enemy. A Samaritan was far more hated than the average foreigner. It is in that sense that God’s elect are symbolized by Samaritans and are so presented to us in the parable of the good Samaritan and in Christ’s experience with the ten lepers and the Samaritan woman with five husbands who was living with a man who was not her husband. Christ made it clear that He identifies Himself with all who are despised and rejected:

Mat 25:40  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [ it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

What I hope you are coming to see is that we must live by “every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” Every word, good and bad, is us at our appointed time. At our time we are the Pharisee looking down on the publican. At our appointed time we are the publican. At our appointed time we are the woman with five husbands, living with a man who is not our husband. At our time we are sent to say “Come see a man who told me all I ever did.” At our appointed time we are the Jews who catch the woman in adultery and want her stoned, and at our appointed time we are the woman caught in adultery; we are all first the elder son, who hates the prodigal and then the prodigal, the tares and then the good grain; the ninety and nine who need no repentance, and then the lost sheep; the well who need no physician and then the sick who realize they need a physician; the Pharisees who say they are not blind and then the man born blind who is healed. Then, at our own appointed time we finally come to see ourselves as not just a despised Samaritan, but a leprous, despised Samaritan. It is all, each of us in our appointed time. First we are the self- righteous, then we are the despised. We will all live every word because it takes every word to comprise “the revelation of Jesus Christ:” “The sum of thy word is truth,” and Christ is that ‘sum.’

Eph 2:2  Wherein in time past ye [ all] walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Mat 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Luk 4:4  And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Gal 1:12  For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.(ASV)
1Pe 1:7  that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ: (ASV)

1Pe 1:13  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Rev 1:1  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

“The revelation of Jesus Christ” is not something that happens at the end of times eonian, except in the sense that each of us, in every generation of mankind, is living out his ‘aion.’
So “the revelation of Jesus Christ” is the “things which shortly come to pass,” simply because our lives are so very short.”

Jas 4:14  Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

There is no “revelation of Jesus Christ, without being in that “first Adam.”

1Co 15:45  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

Yes, Christ is called ‘Adam.’ There can be no “last Adam” without a “first man Adam.” It is all “the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Mat 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Rev 1:3  Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep [ all] those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Rev 22:7  Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Our Babylonian minds just naturally tell us that “keep the sayings of the prophecy of this book,” surely does not include the sins of the seven churches of the second and third chapters, the catastrophes which accompany the opening of the first six seals, culminating in the day of God’s wrath in the sixth chapter. Surely we are not, as God’s elect, expected to “keep those sayings.” All the catastrophes which accompany first four trumpet judgments of the seventh seal in chapter eight, the terrible judgments of the last three woes of chapter nine, the eating of the “little book” of chapter ten, the great city wherein our Lord was crucified in chapter 11, the woman and manchild and dragon of chapter 12, the three beasts of 13.
Even though we are told…:

Rev 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

… we still deny that any of the negative things of this chapter have any application to us. So also do we look at the seven plagues of chapter 15, and 16. Those two chapters certainly have nothing in them that would apply to God’s elect. Neither does the great harlot of chapters 17-18. We could never see ourselves doing battle with Christ in chapter nineteen, and the thousand years followed by a rebellion against God has absolutely no application for or to us. So, as the natural man in all of us, and as the doctrines of orthodox Christianity declare, there is very little indeed, where God’s elect would need to “keep the sayings of the prophecy of this book, and yet we are admonished to do so, both at the beginning…:

Rev 1:3  Blessed [ is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

… and again at the end of this book of symbols:

Rev 22:7  Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

But “this book” is never to be understood as simply the book of revelation. Revelation is but a part of “this book” and could never be understood apart from the sum of God’s word.”
We are to “live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God;” we are to live all of God’s word, because it is all “the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
Now look at these words which have “proceeded out of the mouth of God:”

Gen 2:17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Which of these words which have “proceeded out of the mouth of God,” is Adam, and all who are in Adam, predestined to “keep?” That is right, it is ” every word which proceeds out of the mouth of God.” We are “in Adam,” and as such we are living “all that is in the world.”

1Jn 2:16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

All sins are wrapped up in those three sins and those three sins are in all flesh.
You say, ‘ I am not ungrateful, I am not an adulterer, a murderer, envious, jealous, hateful, etc. etc.’ O. K. I am willing to acknowledge that Christ in you, and Christ in me, is none of those things. But that is exactly what you and I ARE in and of ourselves.

1Jn 3:15  Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Mat 5:28  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Rom 7:18  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Eph 2:2  Wherein in time past ye [ all] walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Ecc 3:18  I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

Our flesh is still flesh, still a beast being subdued by Christ on a daily basis:

1Co 15:31  I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

So please don’t  take every word I say so personally. We are all still in this clay vessel. The only thing that separates you and me from the uncalled and the called but not chosen, is Christ in us. We have no reason to be upset that someone thinks we are, or are not anything. Sure, it hurts when others think we are not what they want us to be, but we have but one person to please and that person is our spiritual husband, Christ.
All outcasts in scripture, typify Jesus Christ. But for Christ to be cast out, He first has to create an Adam who will cast Him out, and even that first Adam is, according to scripture, a part of what is called “the revelation of Jesus Christ”:

Rom 5:14  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

You have made it abundantly clear that you do not like the way God is doing things, but you also admitted that it is He who made Adam sinful flesh when He could have made Adam perfect spirit to begin with. I have acknowledged that I myself could not put mankind through all the suffering that mankind has and is enduring, but we are not God and this is not our ‘show.’ It is His show. He has written the script for all men of all time, before the show ever began. He has picked the characters, and there will be no second takes.

Psa 139:16  Thine eyes did see mine [ and every man of every generation] unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.

Eph 1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

God’s “book” is the Bible. We all live every word in spirit. We are Adam, we are Cain, we are Abel; we are every character in scripture simply because we are “in Adam.” Abraham was “in Adam,” and that means that Christ too, was “in Adam.”

Heb 2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:16  For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

I hope this helps you to see that the good Samaritan and the leprous Samaritan, are both symbols of Christ’s few chosen who will be hated of all men.

Mat 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Your brother in Christ,
Mike
