Caption transcript for Ruth: “Kinsman Redeemer” (6/8)

• 00:06 IT WAS A JOURNEY NO ONE EXPECTED.
• 00:09 FAMINE IN JUDAH HAD BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER IN MOAB
• 00:13 AND NOW...
• 00:15 NOTHING COULD TEAR THEM APART.
• 00:19 FOR NAOMI THE RETURN TO BETHLEHEM WAS A BITTER ONE.
• 00:23 BEHIND HER LAY HER HUSBAND AND TWO SONS BURIED IN FOREIGN SOIL.
• 00:29 FOR RUTH...
• 00:31 A NEW LAND...
• 00:33 A NEW PEOPLE...
• 00:36 A REDEEMER...
• 00:38 AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY OF UNYIELDING DEVOTION.
• 00:42 A LOVE STORY FOR THE AGES.
• 00:56 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR SHOW.
• 00:58 I AM MYLES WEISS...
• 00:59 THIS IS MY CO-HOST AND MY WIFE KATHARINE
• 01:01 WE HAVE ANOTHER WONDERFUL SHOW MYLES.
• 01:04 I'M SO EXCITED TO GET STARTED TODAY.
• 01:06 WE'RE IN THE BOOK OF RUTH, YOU'RE PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE
• 01:09 AND WE'VE BEEN SEEING THE TENSION GROW.
• 01:12 WE'VE BEEN SEEING THIS INCREDIBLE STORY OF LOSS, LOVE, AND LEGACY
• 01:16 AS RUTH AND NAOMI HAVE TRAVELED FROM MOAB TO BETHLEHEM.
• 01:20 THEY'VE COME TO MEET BOAZ, THE KINSMAN REDEEMER.
• 01:23 BUT NOW THERE IS THIS DRAMA OF WHETHER HE IS IN FACT THE KINSMAN REDEEMER
• 01:28 WHO CAN TAKE RUTH AND NAOMI TO HIMSELF AND PROVIDE FOR THEM FOR THE YEARS TO COME.
• 01:34 THE DRAMA HAS GOTTEN MORE TENSE
• 01:36 BECAUSE THERE IS ANOTHER KINSMAN WHO IS CONTENDING FOR RUTH IN THIS.
• 01:42 WE DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO TURN OUT.
• 01:44 SO REALLY WE'RE SEEING THE DRAMA UNFOLD IN A FRESH AND LIVELY WAY
• 01:48 AND THE BIBLE IS REALLY COMING ALIVE NOW IN THE STORY OF ROMANCE AND REDEMPTION.
• 01:52 SO LET'S GET TO IT RIGHT NOW.
• 02:57 AND RUTH LAY AT HIS FEET UNTIL MORNING...
• 03:01 ARISING EARLY, LEST SHE BE RECOGNIZED.
• 03:59 AND BOAZ MEASURED OUT SIX MEASURES OF GRAIN
• 04:03 AND GAVE IT UNTO RUTH TELLING HER TO BRING IT HOME TO NAOMI.
• 04:08 IT WAS MORE THAN A KIND GESTURE.
• 04:11 IT WAS PROOF THAT BOAZ WAS CONCERNED ABOUT NAOMI'S WELFARE
• 04:17 AND THAT HE CARED DEEPLY FOR RUTH.
• 04:32 THE DRAMA IS UNFOLDING BETWEEN BOAZ AND RUTH
• 04:34 AND IT'S ABOUT TO TAKE AN INTERESTING TURN.
• 04:36 YOU KNOW...THE MUTUAL HONOR
• 04:37 THAT'S SHOWN HERE
• 04:39 IS REALLY QUITE AMAZING.
• 04:40 THERE IS RUTH IN HER BOLDNESS
• 04:42 COMING INTO A THRESHING FLOOR
• 04:44 OF MEN...
• 04:45 AN UNHEARD OF IDEA
• 04:46 IN THE TIME,
• 04:48 IN THE CULTURE OF THE DAY.
• 04:49 AND BOAZ, HIS ABILITY TO COVER HER,
• 04:52 AND NOT ONLY TO COVER HER...
• 04:53 TO EXTEND HIS SKIRT OVER HER
• 04:55 WHICH HAS SUCH SPIRITUAL MEANING.
• 04:57 BUT THEN TO TELL HER,
• 04:58 ESHET CHAYIL'OT, IN THE HEBREW.
• 05:00 YOU ARE A VIRTUOUS WOMAN.
• 05:03 AND NOT ONLY SO, BUT HE SAYS,
• 05:14 WHAT A GREAT TESTIMONY FOR RUTH
• 05:16 THAT BOAZ IS CONFIDENT THAT THE WAY SHE HAS CARRIED HERSELF,
• 05:20 HER TREATMENT OF NAOMI,
• 05:21 HER MANNER, IS SO AMAZING...
• 05:24 HE SAID TO HER,
• 05:26 I'VE SEEN THAT YOU HAVEN'T GONE AFTER THE YOUNG MEN, WHETHER THEY'RE RICH OR POOR.
• 05:30 YOU'VE SAVED YOURSELF.
• 05:31 YOU'VE KEPT YOURSELF.
• 05:33 HE'S TELLING HER ABOUT HER VIRTUE AND HE'S REMINDING HER THAT THE WHOLE CITY KNOWS THAT.
• 05:37 IT'S A REALLY WONDERFUL COVERING THAT HE'S EXTENDING OVER HER.
• 05:40 SOME PEOPLE SPECULATE THAT PROVERBS 31 MAY BE RELATED TO THE BOOK OF RUTH.
• 05:46 FOR INSTANCE, EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT AT SHAVOT, WE SING TO ONE ANOTHER.
• 05:51 THE HUSBAND SINGS TO THE WIFE.
• 05:53 THE WIFE SINGS TO THE HUSBAND. AND WE BLESS EACH OTHER.
• 05:55 I SUGGEST YOU TRY THIS AT HOME.
• 05:57 DON'T WAIT FOR FRIDAY,
• 05:58 YOU CAN DO IT ANY DAY.
• 05:59 BUT WE SING OVER ONE ANOTHER BLESSING.
• 06:02 THE HUSBAND'S BLESSING OVER THE WIFE IS FROM PROVERBS 31.
• 06:06 HE ASKS THE QUESTION VERY SIMILAR TO THIS PHRASE IN RUTH.
• 06:10 HE ASKS,
• 06:16 BOAZ CALLS RUTH A VIRTUOUS WOMAN.
• 06:18 WE ASK ON FRIDAY NIGHT, WHERE CAN ONE FIND A VIRTUOUS WOMAN?
• 06:22 AND WE TELL OUR WIFE ALL THAT PROVERBS 31 SAYS ABOUT HER.
• 06:26 IT'S A WONDERFUL TIME.
• 06:28 AND THEN THE WIFE IN TURN READS PSALM 1 OVER THE HUSBAND,
• 06:31 OR SPEAKS A PSALM LIKE THAT TO HIM - SINGS TO HIM,
• 06:34 AND LETS HIM KNOW THAT HE'S BLESSED IF HE WALKS IN THE COUNSEL OF THE GODLY...
• 06:38 AND IF HE WALKS AFTER THE LORD AND STAYS CLOSE TO THE LORD, FUELS HIS PASSION FOR THE LORD.
• 06:42 THERE'S A MUTUAL BLESSING.
• 06:44 THEY BLESS ONE ANOTHER.
• 06:45 THEY BLESS THE CHILDREN.
• 06:47 AND ANY ONE WHO COMES INTO THAT CIRCLE GETS THE OVERFLOW OF THAT BLESSING.
• 06:51 IT'S A WONDERFUL TIME.
• 06:52 WE SORT OF SEE THE ROOTS OF THAT HERE IN THE STORY OF RUTH, DON'T WE?
• 06:55 WHERE RUTH IS BEING CALLED ONE WHO IS A VIRTUOUS WOMAN
• 06:59 AND BOAZ IS SAYING THAT SHE'S KNOWN IN THE CITY BY HER TESTIMONY, BY HER REPUTATION.
• 07:06 BUT THERE'S ABOUT TO BE A VERY INTERESTING TURN
• 07:08 AND THE DRAMA IS GOING TO GET THICKER
• 07:10 BECAUSE BOAZ LETS HER KNOW THAT THERE IS ANOTHER GOEL.
• 07:14 THERE IS ANOTHER KINSMAN,
• 07:15 ANOTHER RELATIVE WHO IS NEARER, WHO IS CLOSER THAN BOAZ
• 07:19 AND ACTUALLY HAS THE FIRST RIGHT TO REDEEM RUTH AND NAOMI.
• 07:24 NOW IF THIS WAS A HOLLYWOOD DRAMA
• 07:27 HE WOULD BE THE SORT OF A VILLAINOUS CHARACTER
• 07:29 AND BOAZ THE HERO PERHAPS.
• 07:31 BUT HE HAS THE RIGHT TO REDEEM RUTH AND BOAZ KNOWS THAT.
• 07:36 ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE TORAH,
• 07:38 HE KNOWS THAT THIS OTHER MAN HAS THE FIRST RIGHT TO THE REDEMPTION.
• 07:42 SO HE LETS RUTH KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS THING
• 07:46 BECAUSE THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY BEING VERY CLOSELY DRAWN TO ONE ANOTHER.
• 07:49 IT'S GETTING TO BE AN INTIMATE AND A LOVING, ROMANTIC, BEAUTIFUL UNFOLDING.
• 07:55 YET HERE'S THE HIGH POINT IN THE DRAMA IN A SENSE,
• 07:59 THAT THIS OTHER KINSMAN COULD COME IN FIRST AND SAY, NO, I WANT RUTH.
• 08:04 AND IT WOULD TAKE AWAY THE ENTIRE STORY.
• 08:07 IT WOULD CHANGE EVERYTHING.
• 08:10 REMEMBER THAT THE KINSMAN, THE GOEL, HE HAD TO BE A RELATIVE.
• 08:14 HE HAD TO BE WILLING TO PERFORM.
• 08:18 HE HAD TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM THE REDEMPTION.
• 08:20 AND HE HAD TO BE WILLING TO ASSUME ALL THE OBLIGATIONS
• 08:24 THAT COME WITH REDEEMING THE RELATIVE...
• 08:26 REDEEMING RUTH IN THIS CASE.
• 08:29 AND SO BOAZ LETS RUTH KNOW THAT HE IS DISTURBED IN HIS SPIRIT YOU COULD SAY.
• 08:34 HE IS CONCERNED THAT THIS OTHER GOEL MAY COME IN AND TAKE HER AWAY FROM HIM.
• 08:40 WE'RE DRAWN IN, IN THE STORY OF RUTH BECAUSE WE'RE ROOTING FOR BOAZ AND RUTH TO COME TOGETHER.
• 08:46 AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW GOD ORCHESTRATES THIS.

• 10:06 THE PLOT THICKENS.
• 10:08 RUTH AND NAOMI GET BACK TOGETHER
• 10:10 AND NAOMI IS SO CURIOUS
• 10:12 TO FIND OUT WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED
• 10:13 BETWEEN RUTH AND BOAZ.
• 10:16 SHE ASKS HER AND RUTH SAID,
• 10:35 IN HEBREW IT SAYS, ...
• 10:40 THE MAN WILL NOT REST UNTIL HE SETTLES THE MATTER THIS DAY.
• 10:43 THESE ARE SIGNIFICANT STATEMENTS FROM BOAZ TO RUTH TO NAOMI
• 10:48 AND ESPECIALLY FOR NAOMI'S EARS.
• 10:51 SHE'S HEARING SOMETHING THAT YOU AND I MIGHT NOT PICK UP RIGHT AWAY.
• 10:54 DO YOU REMEMBER WAY BACK IN CHAPTER ONE, VERSE 21...
• 10:57 NAOMI, WHEN SHE'S ASKING TO BE CALLED BITTER
• 11:00 BECAUSE SHE FEELS THAT THE LORD HAS DEALT HARSHLY WITH HER...
• 11:03 HER LIFE HAS COME TO SUCH A BITTER PLACE,
• 11:06 SHE SAYS CALL ME MARA, BITTER, INSTEAD OF NAOMI, PLEASANT.
• 11:10 YET HERE WE SEE GOD OVERTURNING THAT TESTIMONY THROUGH RUTH.
• 11:15 TAKING BOAZ, USING BOAZ TO OVERTURN THE TESTIMONY OF EMPTY AND FULL AND REVERSING IT.
• 11:22 WHEREAS NAOMI FELT THAT SHE HAD COME BACK EMPTY INTO THE LAND,
• 11:28 NOW RUTH IS GOING TO COME FULL FROM BOAZ.
• 11:32 AND WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE THAT IS OF OUR ENCOUNTERS WITH YESHUA AND HOW HE FILLS US.
• 11:38 HE FILLS OUR LIFE WITH MEANING,
• 11:40 WITH PURPOSE,
• 11:41 WITH EVEN DESTINY.
• 11:43 I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY TO ASK HIM TO FILL YOU TO FULLNESS.
• 11:47 AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO RUTH.
• 11:48 IT'S A WONDERFUL STORY.
• 11:50 IT'S A WONDERFUL TIME IN THEIR ENCOUNTER BETWEEN RUTH AND NAOMI.
• 11:55 THEY'RE BACK TOGETHER.
• 11:57 THIS REVERSAL HAS TAKEN PLACE
• 11:59 AND THERE'S A SECRET CODE HERE FOR NAOMI.
• 12:02 I BELIEVE THAT
• 12:03 EVERY HEBREW NUMBER HAS A MEANING.
• 12:06 NONE OF THEM ARE WITHOUT MEANING.
• 12:08 THE NUMBER SIX SPEAKS OF THE FULLNESS OF CREATION BEFORE REST COMES ON THE SEVENTH DAY.
• 12:15 IT REALLY SPEAKS ABOUT THE SIX DAYS OF CREATION.
• 12:17 IT'S ALSO THE NUMBER OF MAN.
• 12:19 BUT NAOMI IN HER HEARING, SHE TIES THIS TO THE GIVING OF SIX MEASURES OF BARLEY.
• 12:25 IT WASN'T FIVE, IT WASN'T SEVEN.
• 12:27 IT WAS SIX MEASURES OF BARLEY.
• 12:29 AND THE SIGNAL TO NAOMI IS THIS MAN IS GOING TO HAVE HIS CREATION.
• 12:35 HE'S GOING TO SEE THE FULLNESS OF CREATION COME AND THEN HE WILL REST.
• 12:39 IN OTHER WORDS BOAZ IS SIGNALING HER,
• 12:41 I WON'T REST UNTIL I HAVE THE REDEMPTION THAT I BELIEVE GOD HAS PUT BEFORE ME.
• 12:47 IN OTHER WORDS, I AM TO BE THE KINSMAN REDEEMER.
• 12:49 AND IT'S A PICTURE OF THE FULLNESS OF REDEMPTION.
• 12:52 YOU KNOW IT'S LIKE THE SEAMLESS ROBE OF YESHUA.
• 12:55 IT'S LIKE THE WAY THAT THE ROBE WAS PLACED OVER RUTH.
• 13:01 IT REMINDS ME OF THE SEAMLESS ROBE OF YESHUA.
• 13:04 THAT EVEN WHEN HE WAS ON THE CROSS,
• 13:06 WHEN THE SOLDIERS WERE GAMBLING OVER THE ROBE,
• 13:09 THEY WOULD NOT TEAR IT APART.
• 13:11 THEY WOULD NOT TAKE IT TO PIECES
• 13:13 BECAUSE IT HAD SUCH AUTHORITY IN THEIR MINDS.
• 13:15 IT WAS CONNECTED TO ONE OF GODLY AUTHORITY.
• 13:18 AND THEY KNEW THAT.
• 13:19 THEY KNEW HE WAS INNOCENT.
• 13:20 THEY KNEW HE WAS GODLY, AND THEY KNEW THAT HE WAS SENT FROM GOD.
• 13:23 AND SO THEY GAMBLED OVER THE ROBE,
• 13:25 THE ROBE SYMBOLIZING THAT SKIRT, THAT HEM,
• 13:27 THE FULLNESS OF HIS GARMENT THAT COULD BE EXTENDED TO YOU AND TO ME.
• 13:32 NOT ONLY SO, THAT ROBE WAS NEVER TORN,
• 13:35 AND YET AT THE CROSS, THE VERY VEIL IN THE TEMPLE WAS TORN,
• 13:40 SYMBOLIZING AND SIGNALING THE END OF THE PRIESTHOOD OF MAN
• 13:45 AND THE BEGINNING OF THE FULLNESS
• 13:47 OF THE PRIESTHOOD OF YESHUA HA-MASHIACH, OUR HIGH PRIEST.
• 13:50 THAT VEIL BEING RENT WAS A SIGNAL,
• 13:53 JUST AS THE SIGNAL FROM BOAZ TO NAOMI, THROUGH RUTH
• 13:56 WAS THAT FULLNESS HAD COME, REDEMPTION WAS COMING.
• 13:59 WELL SO IT WAS AT THE CROSS FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
• 14:03 WHEN THAT BLOOD WAS SHED,
• 14:04 WHEN THAT FULLNESS CAME,
• 14:05 THE VEIL IN THE TEMPLE WAS RENT,
• 14:08 AND THE PRIESTHOOD OF YESHUA WAS INSTITUTED FOREVER IN ETERNITY.

• 16:24 A GREAT WAY

• 16:27 IS THROUGH

• 16:37 ALSO, THIS WEEK, OUR OFFER IS,
• 16:39 "RUTH, YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE"
• 16:41 THE VERY SERIES THAT WE'RE SHOWING RIGHT NOW.
• 16:43 LET'S GET BACK TO THE STORY
• 16:45 AS WE FIND OUT WHETHER BOAZ ACTUALLY HAS A LEGAL RIGHT TO BRING RUTH TO HIMSELF.
• 16:54 SO BOAZ WENT TO THE GATE OF THE CITY, A COMMON MEETING PLACE FOR THOSE LIVING IN BETHLEHEM.
• 16:59 AND THERE HE MET THE OTHER KINSMAN REDEEMER,
• 17:02 THE ONE THAT BOAZ HAD SPOKEN OF TO RUTH.
• 17:05 BOAZ WAS COMMITTED TO RESOLVING THE QUESTION AS TO WHO RIGHTLY SHOULD ACQUIRE ELIMELECH'S LAND
• 17:12 AND,MORE IMPORTANTLY,
• 17:14 WHO SHOULD BECOME RUTH'S KINSMAN.
• 17:17 IN HIS HEART HE CARED FOR RUTH.
• 17:20 BUT ACCORDING TO THE CUSTOM OF THE DAY,
• 17:22 HE COULD NOT PURSUE HER AS HE WAS NOT THE CLOSEST LIVING RELATIVE OF ELIMELECH.
• 17:27 HIS HEART'S DESIRE COULD WITHER AWAY HERE AT THE CITY GATE.
• 17:31 AN IMPORTANT MEETING SUCH AS THIS DESERVED A PROPER HEARING
• 17:36 BY BETHLEHEM'S MOST RESPECTED ELDERS.
• 17:39 NONE OF THEM KNEW IT, BUT THEY WERE ABOUT TO WITNESS A DECISION
• 17:43 WHICH WOULD AFFECT THE FUTURE OF ALL ISRAEL.
• 17:47 BOAZ'S GOOD STANDING IN THE COMMUNITY COULDN'T HELP HIM HERE, NOR COULD HIS WEALTH.
• 17:53 IT WAS ALL IN THE HANDS OF THE LORD.
• 18:33 IN THE ANCIENT WORLD THE GATES OF THE CITY WAS THE PLACE WHERE JUSTICE WOULD BE ADMINISTERED.
• 18:38 THE ELDERS OF THE CITY, MEN OF NOTE,
• 18:40 MEN WHO WERE PROMINENT IN THE CITY, WEALTHY, AND MEN OF CHARACTER,
• 18:44 WOULD GATHER AND DISPENSE JUSTICE FOR THE WHOLE TOWN, OR THE WHOLE AREA.
• 18:48 NO DOUBT BOAZ WAS ONE OF THOSE MEN.
• 18:50 HE WAS A WEALTHY LAND OWNER.
• 18:52 HE WAS A MAN OF STATURE
• 18:53 AND KNOWN CHARACTER.
• 18:55 AND SO WE SEE HIM
• 18:56 GATHERING ELDERS
• 18:58 IN THE GATES OF THE CITY
• 18:59 IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS WITNESS
• 19:01 FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF THE SITUATION WITH RUTH AND THE NEAR KINSMAN.
• 19:07 THERE'S A NEARER KINSMAN
• 19:09 AND BOAZ IS GOING TO BE VERY, VERY FAIR AND VERY, VERY HONEST
• 19:14 IN GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIM FIRST
• 19:17 BEFORE BOAZ GETS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE REDEEMER.
• 19:20 YOU KNOW, THE NUMBER TEN IS SIGNIFICANT.
• 19:23 THERE ARE 10 COMMANDMENTS.
• 19:24 10 IS THE NUMBER OF TESTING.
• 19:26 10 MEN MAKE UP A MINION, OR A PRAYER GROUP FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 19:31 WHEN REBECCA WAS GOING TO MEET HER ISAAC IN THE FIELDS OF THE LORD,
• 19:36 IT WAS ON 10 CAMELS SHE WENT.
• 19:38 THAT NUMBER IS USED OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO SPEAK OF TESTING.
• 19:41 TO SPEAK OF TESTIMONY, OF WITNESS.
• 19:43 RUTH AND NAOMI WERE IN MOAB FOR 10 YEARS.
• 19:47 SO WE SEE THIS SCENE UNFOLDING IN THE GATES OF THE CITY.
• 19:51 HERE WE HAVE BOAZ AND HIS CHARACTER DISPLAYED.
• 19:55 HIS EYE HAD CLEARLY BEEN ON RUTH AND HIS HEART HAD BEEN FOR HER.
• 19:59 HER EYES HAD BEEN ON THE LORD WHICH HAD BROUGHT HER TO A PLACE
• 20:02 OF HAVING HER EYE ON HIM TOO.
• 20:05 BUT HE KNEW HE NEEDED
• 20:06 TO COME ABOUT IT
• 20:07 ACCORDING TO THE TORAH.
• 20:09 HE KNEW THAT THERE WAS
• 20:10 A NEXT IN LINE
• 20:11 AND HE NEEDED TO BRING IT
• 20:13 BEFORE THE ELDERS OF THE GATES
• 20:14 TO MAKE SURE THAT HE HAD DONE IT
• 20:16 ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE.
• 20:17 SO HE BRINGS THIS MATTER AND HE BRINGS IT BEFORE THE MAN
• 20:20 AND HE SAYS, ARE YOU WILLING TO BUY BACK ALL OF THE LAND OF NAOMI
• 20:24 AND TO BUY ALSO RUTH, A MOABITESS.
• 20:28 HE PUTS THE CARDS ON THE TABLE
• 20:30 THAT THE WOMAN THAT HE WOULD BE PAYING FOR
• 20:32 AND THE LAND HE'D BE ACQUIRING
• 20:35 WOULD COME WITH A MOABITE WIFE.
• 20:37 YOU SEE BOAZ IN HIS LINEAGE, HE IS CONNECTED.
• 20:41 WE CAN KNOW IN MATTHEW, HE'S CONNECTED TO ALSO A GENTILE,
• 20:45 HIS MOTHER IS RAHAB.
• 20:47 IT'S QUITE FUNNY
• 20:49 HOW GOD IS INTERWEAVING THESE JEWS AND GENTILES
• 20:52 IN HIS HOLY PLAN.
• 20:54 IT'S SPEAKING ON A PERSONAL NOTE OF JEWS AND GENTILES.
• 20:57 BACK WHEN I WAS FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU,
• 21:00 THERE WERE OTHER SUITORS IN LINE.
• 21:01 THERE WERE OTHER GENTLEMEN WHO WERE IN LINE
• 21:03 WHO WERE ACTUALLY TRYING TO WED YOU, MARRY YOU.
• 21:05 AND I HAD TO REALLY GIVE IT TO GOD.
• 21:07 AND I THINK BOAZ IS REALLY PICTURING FOR US AS BELIEVERS.
• 21:11 WE UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS A TYPE OF MESSIAH,
• 21:13 BUT HE'S ALSO SHOWING US THE WAY THAT WE NEED TO,
• 21:16 WHEN WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT, WE STILL NEED TO LAY IT BEFORE THE LORD AND SAY, GOD, YOUR WAY NOT MINE.
• 21:21 IF IT BE YOUR WILL,
• 21:22 IF IT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT FROM ME, SO BE IT.
• 21:24 IF NOT, I KNOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING BETTER FOR ME,
• 21:26 OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR ME, AND I TRUST YOU.
• 21:29 I THINK IT REALLY PICTURES FOR US THE SACRIFICE OF YESHUA AT THE CROSS.
• 21:33 HE CAME FROM HEAVEN.
• 21:35 HE HAD EVERYTHING TO LOSE, EVERYTHING TO GIVE UP,
• 21:37 AND YET PHILIPPIANS TELLS US HE MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION AND WENT TO DEATH...
• 21:42 NOT ONLY DEATH, BUT THE DEATH OF THE CROSS,
• 21:44 THE MOST HORRIBLE DEATH CONCEIVABLE SO THAT YOU AND I COULD HAVE CHOICE.
• 21:48 SO THAT YOU AND I COULD CHOOSE TO LOVE HIM, SERVE HIM, AND BE WITH HIM
• 21:53 BOTH ABUNDANT LIFE HERE AND IN ETERNITY FOREVER.
• 21:56 IT'S AN AMAZING PICTURE OF WHAT GOD HAS FOR US
• 22:00 IF WE WILL TRUST IN YESHUA HA-MASHIACH.

• 23:47 HERE'S ARIE.
• 23:51 HOW BEAUTIFUL IS IT
• 23:52 TO SIT AROUND THE TABLE
• 23:54 IN A WALLED CITY
• 23:55 IN A STONE HOUSE
• 23:57 WHERE YOU HAVE THE PITA BREAD,
• 23:58 YOU HAVE THE OLIVE TREES IN FRONT OF YOU?
• 24:01 WE'RE NOW IN A TYPICAL HOUSE OF BETHLEHEM.
• 24:05 BETHLEHEM, THE CENTER OF FOOD.
• 24:09 IN HEBREW "LEHEM" IS BREAD.
• 24:11 IN ARABIC "LAHEM" IS MEAT.
• 24:14 IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS A TENT OR MARKET WHERE PEOPLE COULD COME AND FIND FOOD.
• 24:20 LIVING INSIDE A HOME LIKE THIS,
• 24:22 LOOK AT THE WALLS MADE OF STONES.
• 24:26 THIS IS LIMESTONE.
• 24:28 IT IS THE MAIN ROCK HERE ON THE MOUNTAIN.
• 24:30 IT'S ROOFED WITH LOGS AND SOME PLASTERING ON THE WALLS
• 24:35 TO PROTECT FROM THE SUN, FROM THE RAIN.
• 24:37 WHEN YOU'RE TIRED AND YOU WANT TO SLEEP ON THE GROUND,
• 24:41 YOU JUST PUT A MAT ON THE GROUND AND YOU SLEEP.
• 24:45 LOOK, YOU DON'T LOSE SPACE FOR BEDS.
• 24:49 WHAT A DIFFERENCE FROM LIVING HERE IN A HOME LIKE THIS AND BEING OUTSIDE IN THE FIELDS.
• 24:58 LET'S REMEMBER, RUTH, SHE WAS OUTSIDE IN THE FIELDS OF BETHLEHEM.
• 25:04 IT'S CALLED EFRATA.
• 25:06 BUT AT THE SAME TIME NAOMI WAS IN A HOUSE LIKE THIS, IN A HOME, ALL DAY THINKING ABOUT RUTH.
• 25:14 AND THEN IN THE EVENING TIME,
• 25:17 RUTH LEFT THE FIELDS AND SHE BROUGHT SOME OF THE GLEANING MATERIAL WITH HER TO THE ROOM.
• 25:24 WHAT A JOYFUL MEETING IT WAS AROUND THE BED WHEN NAOMI COULD TAKE THE GRAINS
• 25:30 AND MAKE OUT OF THIS FLOUR
• 25:32 AND THEN BAKE PITA BREAD FOR BOTH OF THEM.
• 25:38 AT THIS POINT IT APPEARS THAT BOAZ IS BEING CHALLENGED BY ANOTHER KINSMAN, MYLES.
• 25:44 I KNOW, AND WHAT'S AMAZING IS THAT THEY'RE DOING THIS ACCORDING TO THE TORAH.
• 25:47 THEY'RE REALLY TRYING TO HONOR GOD IN THE WAY THEY DO THIS. >>BOAZ
• 25:51 BOAZ AND THE OTHER KINSMAN.
• 25:53 THEY'RE WORKING IT OUT.
• 25:54 THE CHALLENGES COME.
• 25:55 WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING. >>RIGHT
• 25:57 ON OF MY FAVORITE PARTS HERE IS THAT WE'VE SEEN NOW THAT,
• 26:00 NOT ONLY HAVE WE SEEN BOAZ AS THE TYPE OF MESSIAH TYPE OF JESUS,
• 26:04 BUT REALLY NOW WE'RE SEEING RUTH AS THE BRIDE ARISING
• 26:07 AND THE CHARACTER OF THE BRIDE IS STARTING TO COME FORWARD.
• 26:10 HE CALLS HER A VIRTUOUS WOMAN IN THESE SCENES.
• 26:13 WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S VERY POSSIBLE
• 26:16 THAT THE WRITER OF PROVERBS WAS ACTUALLY REFERRING TO RUTH WHEN PROVERBS 31 WAS WRITTEN.
• 26:22 WE SAY THAT EVERY SHABBAT, WE SPEAK IT OVER THE BRIDE
• 26:25 AND I THINK IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT THAT WAS THE PERSON ON WHOM IT WAS BASED.
• 26:31 SO, THE DRAMA WILL CONTINUE.
• 26:33 WE'LL MEET NEXT WEEK TO SEE MORE OF THIS.
• 26:35 UNTIL THAT TIME WE WANT TO SAY TO YOU...
• 26:38 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
• 26:40 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
