Father Mike Schmitz: 今天我们读到北国以色列陷落，北方十个支派被流放。这是一个关键时刻，因为这十个支派一去不复返。南方犹大和便雅悯支派还会存在一段时间，然后他们也会被流放到巴比伦，但他们最终会回到家园，重新定居。北方十个支派将永远不会回来，他们将永远不复存在。亚述王将五个民族迁入撒玛利亚，这非常重要，这导致了犹太人与撒玛利亚人之间的隔阂。亚述王认为他们得罪了当地的神，需要重新建立宗教。这个祭司教导的是被耶罗波安篡改的旧约版本。撒玛利亚人因此认为自己是犹太人，但又不完全是，这导致了约翰福音第四章中，耶稣与撒玛利亚妇人之间的对话。犹太人与撒玛利亚人之间的紧张关系，源于撒玛利亚人居住在原本属于犹太人的土地上，而这些土地是被亚述王迁入的五个王国所占据的。耶稣与撒玛利亚妇人的对话，象征着上帝与以色列民之间的关系，以及撒玛利亚人与五个外来王国之间的关系。上帝渴望与他的子民建立盟约关系，就像夫妻之间的关系一样。列王纪下第17章预示了约翰福音第4章中耶稣与撒玛利亚妇人的相遇，以及他对她和她所在城镇的人民的呼召。

Shownotes Transcript

Today we read about the critical moment when Assyria destroys the Northern Kingdom, and the ten northern tribes are exiled and assimilated among the nations. Fr. Mike explains how this moment and the foreign possession of Samaria is key in order to understand Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4. We also read about how the prophet Micah beautifully foreshadows the birth of Jesus. Today's readings are 2 Kings 17, Micah 5-7, and Psalm 140.
