« Back to Glossary Index
  • Samaritans – Often preferring to be called Israelite Samaritans – are a racially mixed society living in the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
  • A people transplanted into the land of Israel by the Emperor of Assyria to replace the Israelites who were carried away into captivity, being attacked by wild animals, were seen as not in the grace of ‘the gods of the land’. And recorded in 2 Kings 17:24-31. “Shalmanezer brought back some of the ‘government-authorized’ priests (not of the Levitical Priesthood), who taught the Samaritans a politically correct version of the Torah, which documented as its tenth commandment, ‘Thou shalt worship on Mount Gerizim.’ This ‘new age’ government-authorized version of the Torah was used to manipulate and control the growing gentile population of northern Israel by their hybrid system of religion, but it deliberately separated them from the Jewish population and religious system in the south.” – The Chronological Gospels, The Life and Seventy Week Ministry of the Messiah
