Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

Only when the Israelites are a faithful representation of God’s own holiness, does the Holy One 
consider them to be His people; But when they turn wicked, He strips them of all titles, treating them 
instead as a gentile (pagan) nation
The God of Moses spoke to mankind by means of visions, similitudes, riddles, and parables (“I have also 
spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used 
similitudes… if there be a prophet among you, I the 
Lord 
do make Myself known unto him in a vision… Son
of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel”- Hosea 12:11, Numbers 12:6, & 
Ezekiel 17:2, Jewish Publication Society, 1917 Edition). 
And when the Almighty wanted mankind to learn that Israel was not supposed to be viewed as God’s literal 
people, but rather as a paradigm for all righteous from every race and creed, He chose to use a curious 
metaphor-- One that seems to portray a gross contradiction. 
You see, on the one hand, The Holy One commands His people to avoid having a non Hebrew king ruling 
upon them (“… O
ne from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; 
thou mayest not put a 
foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother
”- Deut. 17:15, Jewish Publication Society, 1917 Edition). But, 
on the other hand, He commands them to embrace being ruled by Nebuchadnezzar-- a Non Hebrew king (“...
 
the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon... that 
nation will I visit, saith the 
Lord
, with the sword, and with the famine
...”- Jeremiah 27:8). 
How do we explain this apparent contradiction? Can the Holy One change His mind after He had already 
said, “
For I the 
Lord
 change not
...”- Malachi 3:6? Again, the answer to this conundrum lies in the fact that 
God always meant for Israel to be a paradigm for righteous people belonging to all creeds and races. 
In other words, whenever national Israel embraces the life of righteousness [described by God’s Ten Laws] 
they faithfully represent God’s Holy people. And it goes without saying that holy people are not to follow the
lead of non-holy people (the latter being portrayed by the gentiles); as is written: “
