    Correction: At (2:04) in this video, the reference to Ruth 2:11 "BOAZ = MAN OF NOBLE CHARACTER 2:11" is incorrect and should be Ruth 2:1.

      Just read Ruth; which is only 4 chapters long, and it's a beautiful story.
      Learned that Ruth was Naomi's ("Mara"/Bitter)
      Mother-in-law.
      She had a legacy of honorable behavior.
      She worked with Boaz's handmaidens.
      Boaz, due to Ruth's honorable reputation, allowed her to work with his handmaidens and for his own servants to not shun/reproach/shame her for gleaning the heads of wheat.
      A bunch of other things. She honored her mother-in-law and honored that she should wait as Boaz was looking out for her.

    My favorite part of this story is knowing that Boaz was the son of Rahab. Which explains why he was able to see Ruth as a faithful, beautiful woman even though she was a gentile, because his mom was too.
    It shows how God uses the weak and insignificant to shame the wise and does amazing things through people and situations we may never know about.

    I've always been inspired by Ruth's boldness. This was the sermon I asked to be preached at my wedding - which might seem odd to many. Boaz's covenant with Ruth is a picture of God's covenant with us through Jesus. Jesus is our kinsman redeemer. All Christian marriages are a picture of that same covenant that God has with us.

Ruth is my favorite book by far. BTW, did you know that Genesis has a 49 letter sequence which names each of the main characters in Ruth in order of their appearance?

  • @JH-dj8hd
    @JH-dj8hd 7 років тому +714

    How about mentioning the awesome typology of the book of Ruth?
    Ruth is the gentile bride (representative of the Church), Naomi represents Israel, and Boaz as the kinsman redeemer represents the Messiah, full of grace...
    The role of the kinsman redeemer (Messiah) was, by grace and union, to restore the dead to (eternal) inheritance -- herein, namely Elimelech (Naomi's husband), and Mahlon (Ruth's dead husband, whose name, by no coincidence, means 'sickly', such as we are in the flesh before redemption). This restoration of inheritance is because the firstborn of Ruth and Boaz was to inherit and restore the name of Mahlon within Israel (that is what the Levirate law is about)... Boaz takes on the legal curse of marrying a gentile bride (Deut 23:3), as the Messiah took on our curse of sin... but this generational curse on Boaz was wiped clean for the future, as his offspring (Obed) would be the levirate heir of Ruth's first husband, not Boaz, thus he would not carry the curse to the 3 generations to David.
    Also, the nearer kinsman who wouldn't marry Ruth represents the law that could not/ would not provide for anyone's redemption and (eternal) inheritance...
    As in the book of Ruth, Israel is related to the Messiah, but it is the gentile bride who meets Him first and introduces Him to Israel who is yet to be redeemed -- when they call upon His name (Lev 26:40-42; 2 Chr 7:13-14; Jer 29:12-14; Jer 50:4-5,20; Hosea 5:15-6:3; Matt 23:37-39; and also referencing the purpose and outcome of the time of Jacob's trouble).
    And there is probably more besides!
    Halleluyah. God is awesome, and so poetic!

      There are many teachers whose work is available in online videos who know lots about such things... These are the ones who know that nothing in the OT is arbitrary or 'just' a nice story. They know that every page of the Old Testament is a testament pointing forward to the yet future Messiah! I have just been learning from them!

      That's interesting but that's quite the reach, I'm sure you could apply that logic to just about anything if you're going to use such unspecific symbolism. You also gotta' realize that this story was written post Babylonian exile, were talking most likely 800 years after its subject material. It's amazing how Christian's can take this stuff at face value.. if someone wrote a story about my life 800 years from now with little to no documentation of my life would you believe it?
      Then again, Christian's seem to throw logic out the window when it comes to the bible, we're talking people who think Adam and Even were literal people, 2 of every animal of a million different species got on a boat that flooded the earth, God suspended the sun in the sky for two days (stopped earth's rotations), earth is not centery of universe (heliocentric theory), the water and vegetation created before the earth had atmosphere, etc. -- anyways, the bible just defies logic, common sense, historicall/scientifically inaccurate, and anyone with reason and common sense in this modern age that reads the gist of it and doesn't see the constant holes in its logic is either indoctrinated and brainwashed or simply doesn't care enough to question their faith.

    You guys have amazingly given me back the truth behind my faith. See I grew up in christian school but none of these things were explained to me. At 37 I had an encounter with literally the trinity in different experiences where my life was saved! But then I needed to dig back into my roots and thank you for filling that educational gap. Where now I am informed. The Bible is awesome and y’all are amazing for finally not putting man’s interpretation but the actual word as it is. In plain English. You are doing His work and I’m eternally grateful.

    It's a bit odd to hear of their cultural traditions thousands of years ago, but through this story, we can really see the kindness, sweetness, loyalty, and love all of these three characters show one another through the exercise of their culture
    It feels rather stiff and confusing to just read them alone, but to have a visual for Boaz, Ruth, and Naomi--to see their joys and sorrows in such relatable human manner...It just makes the story all the more powerful and wonderful
    Thanks for making these stories come to life!

      I appreciate you pointing out that Ruth was a Moabite immigrant and indeed kindness was shown to her. It's also worth noting that she entered the land of the Israelites with the full intent to respect its laws, its people, and its God. "Your people will be my people.... Your God.... My God."

      ISAIAH 8 - RUTH
      “Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion.”
      (Isaiah 8:18)
      WORDS BY: FATHER
      "Do you think Ruth had a right to state this verse? Yes indeed because she was a sign unto all by giving birth to the linage of Christ. But would she have brought forth the royal linage had she stayed in her own country? No. The reason she brought forth a king’s linage was that she walked into My perfect will, not just My good or acceptable will. Never mistaken doing good as if it is My perfect will. Many “good works” are not considered “God works.” Picture a target. The entire target is My will but the closer you hit to the centre, the greater the score. The same is My will. It is a wide range but the closer you get to the centre of it, the closer you get to My heart. My full blessing always comes from being in My perfect will. A good idea for Ruth and Orpah was to turn back to Moab where they were familiar with. But I ask where is Orpah’s linage this day? Where is her offspring? Did she even get remarried? What was her history? It is not mentioned in the Bible because she listened to a good idea rather than My idea. As a result she was not in My perfect will nor was she a sign to Israel as Ruth was.
      Out of Ruth’s obedience and honour, she walked in My perfect will and I was able to bless her with My full blessing. Therefore when good ideas arise, never be too quick to jump ahead with it. Stop and consider what My will for you is, because for everyone I may require something different. Only by doing this will you walk in the fullness of My favour wherever you go and whatever you do. You too will be a sign for all to see. So does Ruth have a right to state that verse? She does, as do all those who do My perfect will."
