Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at the Well

- Does the OT connection between wells and marriage shed light on Christ’s conversation with the woman at the well in John 4? What were the similarities and dissimilarities between Samaritans and Jews? What does the Greek verb “have [no] dealings with” imply? What can we say about the woman’s multiple marriages? What is “living water,” both literally and metaphorically? How is worship of the Father in spirit and truth a worship of the Trinity? These and other questions on John 4, Chad Bird will address in this week’s video in Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes.

7 minutes in and my mind is blown! So good
Hello from Virginia. I want to thank you for sharing your studies with us they go deeper than we know to go and make us stop and think as we study God's word. Thank you so very much
Good teaching! 🙏🏾 😊
This is such great teaching 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Thanks a lot Chad. Greetings from Brazil.

🇬🇧 thank you from Eastbourne, UK. Am praying for you and your family as you continue navigating through this year of 'firsts' 🙏
Great teaching❤🔥🙏🏽. Thank you so much. Greetings from Germany. God bless you.
God bless you greatly
WatchingfromSouth Africa,thank you so much,very enlightening
I love your teaching style Chad... you made the OT so much easier to understand... I gain so much knowledge and found myself falling inlove with God's word all over again. Thank you so much!!!
this is just such a beautiful breakdown of God's. thank you for sharing, i was very blessed by it.
Thanks Chad!
Can we also say that - for whatever reason - the woman had six men before and she was incomplete? Jesus, however, is the one to complete her and he is the completion we need as the bride of Christ. Just as in the genealogy of Matthew we see six sets of seven, in Jesus we find Messiah, the seventh seven. (Insert Jerry McGuire "You complete me!" reference here.)
Thanks much brother for sharing. Praise and thank GOD.
HE must go to Samaria. Wow.
The Heart of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 🙏
Thank you Mr Chad

Hi Chad. Thanks for another great teaching.
I was wondering if the mention of Jacob and the well could be referencing Jacob's blessing of Joseph (who is a typology of Jesus) in Gen 49:22 "Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:".....and the running over the wall was a reference to the divide between Jews and Samaritans.
Also, whether the water in the well and the woman having had 5 husbands and the one she was with was not her husband was a reference to Prov 5:15 "Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well."....which in the context in Prov 5 is about fidelity in marriage.
Thanks for your great explanation about samaritan woman. May I ask you one question brother ?. I know more and more Samaritans activities . Please explain me. This is from INDIA
Mr Bird, thank you for this video. Do you have any input on the position that this section is a later addition and not a part of the original text? Thank you for your videos.
I’ve read the arguments for its exclusion, but they’re not convincing to me. The language and themes are completely in line with the remainder of John’s Gospel, and it contextually follows John 3.
@@chadbird1517 thank you for your response!
Thank you for bringing up the Mystical Marriage between Jesus and the Well Woman! 💕
I noticed Jesus mentioned that He had to be lifted up just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so that everyone who believes will have eternal life (a powerful parallel). Numbers 21:8-9. The next event after the people were healed in Numbers 21 is that they were given water from a well. I don’t want to take away from the spiritual parallels you mentioned, but there seems to be a parallel here as well. The people rejoiced over God’s provision, and the response of the Samaritans would seem to be similar because they believed in him.
I believe the story- (believe it or not) is actually talking about a _sine wave_ (serpent) as it were charted on a graph (the cross). This is revelatory, of course, as applied math wouldn't be developed until thousands of years later.
If people are living in Sin (sine)... it means there's a discrepancy between 2 categories, for example their Words vs their Deeds... or an unresolved conflict between 2 personal beliefs. It creates an imbalnce with creates psychic disturbance.
As it relates to this story, you have category A:The Jews, which regarded themselves highly vs category B: The Samarians, which were an oppressed and poorly regarded minority...
The woman may have had 5 prior husbands (a sinner by christian standards) but was humble and accomodating, so her "sins" would theoretically be forgiven through Christ... while the unrighteous and haughty (category A's) led by the Pharisees would eventually be exiled by 70 AD.
🙏
Thanks for this teaching. One more thing to note is that by situating this encounter by Joseph’s well, Jesus was probably identifying with Messiah Son of Joseph. The Samaritans, being part Ephraimite might have been looking forward to Son of Joseph rather than Son of David. Which might explain why Jesus explicitly confirmed his identity to Samaritans but not to the Judeans who were expecting Son of David.
The Mass is the marriage supper of the Lamb. Dr. Brant Pitre also have a good explanation of this chapter of John’s Gospel. Peace.
A lot of the Christians in my circle use that story as an excuse that God is okay with a divorce and remarriage while the first spouse is alive. Maybe you could do a video explaining the significance of her having five husbands. They also use the verse about if the unbeliever departs to let him go and be at peace. They seem to ignore all the other scriptures and cling to those too.
Yup theres a great verse for that: Matthew 7:1
It's amazing how even today, 66.6% of christians _still_ can't get it right...
In Matthew 19:9 where Jesus condemns divorce and equates remarriage to adultery... the actual reason (that no one noticed) is intimated 4 verses later... as it relates to the toll the children of divorced couples bear, especially when the breakup is messy and the courts are involved.
But of course, this depends on the parents and again Matthew 7:1 is ALWAYS in force and supercedes all other laws.🙂
Jesus is the way the truth and the life
Can I ask how we think she resolved the not being married thing? Before I found Jesus I had a family with a man that I'm not married to. After finding Jesus I was convicted of premarital sex and decided not to, but he did it anyways because he doesn't think it's a sin. He thinks God already considers us married. It's caused many issues and his lifestyle doesn't align with mine anymore. He says he is Christian now too but we are still unequally yoked. Idk what to do.
What is the difference between Mt. Moriah and Mt. Zion?
Moriah is the temple mount while Zion, often used broadly as a term for all of Jerusalem (including Moriah) is more specifically, the eastern of the two hills in Jerusalem.
The woman at the well is a symbol or "type" for the House of Israel or the Northern Kingdom.
They were originally married to God at Mt Siani, then taken by the Assyrians then the Meado/Persians, followed by the Babylonians then the Greeks, thats 5 husbands, and now Rome is there.
Yeshuah's objective is to restore the two Kingdoms into one. The question is after having divorced them, how can He remarry her again, or renew the covenant? By giving his life on the cross and the "new" reserected man can marry her.
Greetings from South Africa.
Jesus is lord
Yahushua HaMashiach
Did the Jews not worship on Mt. Zion?
Zion is a name often applied to all of Jerusalem. The temple was located specifically on Mt. Moriah.
@@chadbird1517 Thank you very much. I have to teach this lesson to 7 and 8 year olds in Children's Church Sunday. I saw your channel and was listening. I am trying to condense these deep concepts to kids. The Curriculum I have said Mt. Zion for the Jews choice of location to worship and Mt. G....I don't remember that name. And as part of the lesson each Mtn. and it's name is supposed to be displayed depicting part of the disagreement between the Jews and the Samaritans. So, yeah, I don't want to teach them incorrectly. Prayers greatly appreciated. I just found your Channel today. I look forward to learning.
That is olive branch to the pagans…. Let’s discuss….
I appreciate your teachings please look into the actual names because the enemy does everything they possibly can to deceive misinterpret,misnamed, unnamed, mispronounce etcetera please do some research on this as well. Because using titles is not going to work we're told that if you ask in my name.... Nobody was saying Jesus none of his disciples were calling him Jesus etcetera and they were not saying God and our Lord and savior was not saying God what's the Father's name YAHUAH Almighty Father what's the son's name Yahushua HaMashiach Son,The Messiah. Proverbs 30:4
I’ve looked into it fully. And I know Greek and Hebrew.
The name “Jesus” in Greek is Ἰησοῦς, which is derived from the Hebrew name Yehoshua, which in English is written as Joshua. In later Biblical Hebrew, it was often shortened to Yeshua.
If you follow the historical development of the name across the centuries, we thus get:
-early biblical Hebrew: Yehoshua (=Joshua)
-later biblical Hebrew: Yeshua (or Y’shua)
-Greek: Iēsous
-Latin: Iesus
-Modern English: Jesus
So any insistence that we do not call him Jesus is linguistic legalism.
@@chadbird1517 if we could pronounce the name correctly in English why is it not being done? English has YAHUAH-
YAHUSHUA
Shalmanezer, king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria because they had been rejected by God for their unrepentant idolatry practices And Kings 17, and relocated 5 different tribes of Assyrians with 5 different idolatry practices in Samaria. 2 kings 17:24-41.
This is the reason why Jews do not have anything to do with the Samaritans of their day, because they believed that they were strangers living in the promised land.
The Samaritan woman at the well who was met by Jesus Christ because of her faith in the God of the Jews. She had allied herself, like Ruth, to Jacob, by saying "our father Jacob...Our fathers worshipped..." John 4:1-26.
She, in her quest for the True God, went through all the 5 gods of Assyria, and now found about the God of Israel.
Just then, she met Jesus who then told her the good news of salvation by faith in the One that God has sent to restore Israel.
Because of her faith in Him, she not only got saved, but became the evangelist to proclaim this good news to all Samaritans.
The idols and gods are likened to having a marital relationship, thus, she had been with 5 husbands and now even the 6th wasn't what she was looking for.
This meant that the mystery which was hidden right from the beginning- Jews and Gentiles would be saved, was fulfilled.
Jesus was indeed sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, but He also ministered to anyone who would simply have the faith of Abraham and believe God through Christ Jesus, who was sent to seek and save lost Israel.
The Samaritan woman was one of the 3 gentiles ministered to by Jesus Christ for their faith in Him:
The Roman Centurion, the Samaritan woman at the well and the Canaanite woman.
He didn't acknowledge the Greek gentiles when they came to seek Him because He had to pay the wages for their sins before they could finally be included in salvation work of Jesus Christ by grace, through faith in His sacrificial death, burial and resurrection John 12:32.
Finally, by the Holy Spirit, Philip was sent to include Jew Proselytes, through the Ethiopian Eunuch, then the Apostle Paul was sent to the rest of the world.
SAMARITAN WOMAN WAS A VICTIM OF HER FIANCE'S BATTLE AGAINST THE POWER OF DARKNESS.
There's a God's law of creation, if a male child is born then equally a female child is also be born correspondingly, they're born for each other bearing the image of God with one another, so if a man becomes young & apply this law in search of his fiance then he would absolutely come to know where she has been born, her religion, her name, her language, her culture etc., and in this Godly life project, there's no place for sin or sexuality or desire for lustful thoughts, caste, creed, culture, language, religion, race.
God's Spirit indwelled man can send his DNA in the form of an invisible Spirit & impregnate his wife without physically touching her. This should've been a way for procreation in the beginning but it was lost, and instead the sinful way, meaning sexual relationships was imposed or introduced by an adversary the devil 😈 so as to run this world 🌍.
However, an adversary the devil is keen and don't allow Godly life project in this world 🌍, so he takes action to destroy either of one who strive for a Godly life, most probably the devil who have his disciples of wicked guys & motivate them who would take an action to deceive the concerned female during the days of her youth & led her into a prostitution, and it would be known to the concerned male who have been born for her, and prompt him to mental agony but when an appropriate time comes both of them meet in person, the female doesn't know to whom she meets, it's just like that for her, and leave him but the male does know to whom he meets & knew that his fiance has become a victim of his battle against the power of darkness the devil, and no mistake in her part, so it is a great deal for him to meet her with great LOVE, but end up with a great lose of his life by losing her. John 4 has this story back in the 1st century, Samaritan woman was a victim and born as a wife of the Messiah but destroyed by an adversary the devil 😈.
This world survives the way it is to this day, however this world would come to an end through one who have discovered the God's theory of creation and apply, and he may lose his life and he can't try to build his life with some other female since someother woman has been born for some other male, thus he can't, and in this kind of situation God would take an action to bring this world to an end, and in this reason the world affairs like politics, science, economy, tecnology, wars, natural calamities etc., are playing a role as a battle between Light and darkness which would come to an end & God shall return so as to reward him an everlasting life, creating the New Heaven and New Earth & throwing an adversary along with his wicked guys to the lake of fire 🔥.
Conclusion: Men have discovered the physical laws that govern our universe, but the purpose they have failed to figure out, and still searching, this tiny message may an eye opener for those who still search for answers of life tough questions. This world was begun with one couple and in same manner this world 🌍 would come to an end with one couple who have been in the creation theory of God, so this world would come to the climax within 3.5 years from now as of May 2024.
She ch good stuff
But not one word on the most important part..
You worship what you do not know. Not you worthship a false god…
Jesus was not speaking to a woman who had been married and divorced five times, he was speaking of a woman who had been married in at least five different life times. He was speaking about her past lifetimes, reincarnation.
Scripture nowhere teaches reincarnation. Quite the opposite: “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,”
Hebrews 9:27.
@@chadbird1517 It is appointed for every man to die once, but the soul is not a man and never dies, but lives in spirit and becomes another unique man over and over then judged on each incarnation. The scripture also never said that the woman was divorced. It is only assumed to make sense of Hebrews 9:27. We do not live on the edge of time by chance, our souls have lived on the edge of time before, we just don't remember past lives or the in-between, just as the woman did not remember her five husbands. Dare to look behind the veil.
CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW THE SAMARITAN LADY AT THE WELL KNEW JESUS WAS A JEWISH MAN???
Possibly his Galilean accent (cf. Matt. 26:73). Possibly something about his manner of dress. We are not told. But as in every culture, there were probably clues as to his Jewishness.
@@chadbird1517 Thank you
