BIBLE VERSES

Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you: for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge: your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part you and me. Ruth 1:16-17

RUTH, NAOMI AND BOAZ ~ INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH YOUR CHILD

Ruth – A classic love story of boy meets girl – that points to God’s love for us  (Chuck Missler) Ruth’s devoted commitment to her mother-in-law leads to a dramatic romance, a prophecy of the coming King, her being included in the family tree of the Messiah… Ruth encounters the hero of the tale, the handsome landowner, Boaz… not only the “lord of the harvest,” he saves the day by performing the role of a ‘goel’, a ‘Kinsman-Redeemer’. By his intervention, the forfeited lands are returned to Naomi and he takes Ruth (a Gentile) to be his bride… Naomi can be viewed as a ‘type’ of Israel; Boaz, of course, is the Kinsman-Redeemer, who by his act of redemption returns Naomi to her land and takes a Gentile bride, Ruth.

Ruth – and how it helps us understand Revelation 5  (Chuck Missler) The scroll in Revelation Chapter 5 was written “within and on the backside,” which identifies it as a deed subject to redemption. A Kinsman of Adam, in His role as a goel, a Kinsman-redeemer, the Lord Jesus is taking possession of what He had already purchased with His blood as the sacrificial Lamb. He not only purchased the land; he also purchased a Bride. In the Book of Ruth, Naomi is in the role of Israel, exiled from her land; Boaz is her kinsman, who performs the redemption of the land; and Ruth (a Gentile) is also purchased for a wife… Ruth learns how to deal with this situation from Naomi. We learn of God’s plan of redemption through His dealings with Israel… and Naomi learns of Boaz through Ruth.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Ruth did NOT replace Naomi, just as the church has NOT replaced Israel. They have separate origins, separate missions and separate destinies.

Moments to ponder from the story of Ruth from the fabulous teaching of Dr Chuck Missler

This one is for purchase, but my kids loved the two books that I sent them in the Next Manga series (Mutiny and Messiah). Monica told us that it was her favourite book. Buy and send a few pages at a time. Also an excellent gift idea for a sponsor visit and you get to present it to your child in one piece.  :)

Ruth ~ Francine Rivers ~ Lineage of Grace Series  (for purchase) I just want to mention here, for your own reading or maybe even for your older children, a book series by Francine Rivers that really helped me understand some of the strange things in the story of Ruth (and also the story of Tamar and Rahab) and put them into perspective for me so that they made perfect sense.

Thoughts about Ruth: Woman of Faith  (Karina Susanto)  “…She dared to leave her own land went to Judah that in fact was the enemy of her people, while if she decided to go back to the Moab she might live comfortably and without any difficulties. This was a great faith step of Ruth. She chose to believe and act on her faith in God. Ruth believes God has a plan even though she hasn’t seen it. Ruth was heading into the dark tunnel but she believes there is a sun above the tunnel although she did not see it. Her faith could make her believe that at the end of tunnel she will see the light… “Like Ruth, completely trust in God! Just maintain your faith in God so you could walk confidently despite everything in the front of you seem indistinct.”… Her unwavering step of faith to the God who recently she knew made her life full of hope and didn’t make her afraid about the future… ”
