Caption transcript for Ruth: “Future of Hope” (8/8)

• 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.
• 00:22 BEHIND HER LAY HER HUSBAND AND TWO SONS BURIED IN FOREIGN SOIL.
• 00:29 FOR RUTH...
• 00:30 A NEW LAND...
• 00:33 A NEW PEOPLE...
• 00:35 A REDEEMER...
• 00:38 AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY OF UNYIELDING DEVOTION.
• 00:43 A LOVE STORY FOR THE AGES.
• 00:57 SHALOM AND WELCOME
• 00:58 TO OUR SHOW.
• 00:59 I AM MYLES WEISS.
• 01:01 THIS IS MY WIFE KATHARINE.
• 01:03 WE ARE THE CO-HOSTS OF
• 01:04 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRY.
• 01:06 WE ARE SO GLAD TO BRING YOU THIS SHOW.
• 01:08 THIS IS ACTUALLY THE LAST IN THE SERIES
• 01:10 ON THE BOOK OF "RUTH, YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE".
• 01:13 WE'RE GOING TO WRAP IT UP TODAY UNFORTUNATELY
• 01:17 BECAUSE I'VE SO ENJOYED THIS TIME AND SHARING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BOOK OF RUTH.
• 01:22 I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GONE IN DEPTH
• 01:25 BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE JUST SCRATCHING THE SURFACE
• 01:27 BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURES IS JUST FULL OF TREASURE AND ANY TIME WE OPEN IT WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE.
• 01:32 AND WE SEE HOW WE'VE COME THROUGH LOSS,
• 01:35 WE'VE COME THROUGH LOVE WHERE NAOMI AND RUTH HAVE LEARNED TO LOVE EACH OTHER AND LOVE GOD.
• 01:42 THERE'S BEEN A REAL SALVATION TO RUTH AND THE RESTORATION THAT GOD IS BRINGING THROUGH THAT.
• 01:48 AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO SEE LEGACY UNFOLD
• 01:51 WHERE IT'S BORN SO MUCH FRUIT THAT A SON IS BORN
• 01:55 AND THERE'S SO MUCH JOY WHEN A SON IS BORN.
• 01:58 I CAN'T FATHOM WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE
• 02:03 FOR NAOMI ESPECIALLY WHO HAD LOST SO MUCH
• 02:06 AND YET SO MUCH WAS RESTORED TO HER BECAUSE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL FRIEND...RUTH
• 02:12 CAME ALONG SIDE OF HER AND GOD HAS DONE A MIRACLE.
• 02:16 HE HAS BROUGHT A RESTORATION.
• 02:18 WITH THESE TWO WOMEN IT'S A STORY OF RESTORATION.
• 02:21 IT REALLY IS.
• 02:23 AND IT'S REALLY NOISED ABROAD BECAUSE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IS IN ON WHAT GOD HAS DONE.
• 02:26 THEY'RE SEEING THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN RUTH
• 02:28 AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH NAOMI.
• 02:30 I'M THINKING ABOUT THE WAY THAT GOD IS FAITHFUL TO US
• 02:34 IN OUR STEPS BEING ORDERED
• 02:35 EVEN IN OUR COMING INTO THE SHOW AT THIS TIME WITH THE BOOK OF RUTH.
• 02:39 THE RUSSIANS COMING...
• 02:40 WHERE MY PEOPLE ARE FROM BY THE WAY...
• 02:42 THE RUSSIANS COMING TO MAKE THE MUSIC
• 02:44 AND MESSIANIC BROTHER ARIE COMING UP OUT OF THE LAND TO TEACH US FROM THE LAND.
• 02:48 AND WE SEE THAT GOD IS A GOD OF PROVIDENCE...
• 02:51 REALLY SHOWN IN THIS STORY.
• 02:53 AND HE'S ORDERING YOUR STEPS AS WELL
• 02:55 AS WE SEE THIS DRAMA UNFOLD WE WANT YOU TO BE REMEMBERING
• 02:58 THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR LIFE
• 03:00 GOD WANTS TO ORDER YOUR STEPS AS WELL.
• 03:02 SO LET'S GO TO OUR DRAMA AND SEE IT CONCLUDE.
• 03:09 NAOMI'S LIFE HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED.
• 03:13 ONCE OVERCOME BY DESPAIR AT THE LOSS OF HER HUSBAND AND TWO SONS
• 03:18 SHE'S FOUND NEW HOPE IN THE BIRTH OF RUTH'S SON
• 03:21 AND THE WOMEN OF BETHLEHEM ARE EQUALLY DELIGHTED.
• 04:14 WE'VE COME FULL CIRCLE.
• 04:16 JUST AS THE STORY BEGAN
• 04:17 WITH EXILE FROM BETHLEHEM
• 04:19 HERE WE ARE BACK IN BETHLEHEM
• 04:21 NEAR MANGER SQUARE
• 04:23 IN THE SHEPHERD'S FIELD
• 04:24 WHERE THE STORY BEGAN
• 04:25 AND WHERE THE STORY WILL UNFOLD
• 04:27 WHEN YESHUA WILL BE BORN SOME YEARS LATER.
• 04:31 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TIME.
• 04:32 WE'RE HERE IT'S A WINDY DAY
• 04:34 AND I FEEL THE WIND OF THE SPIRIT BLOWING THROUGH THE MIDDLE-EAST TODAY
• 04:37 IN SPITE OF FENCES,
• 04:39 IN SPITE OF THE DIFFICULTY POLITICALLY
• 04:41 WE SEE THAT STORY OF RUTH IS THE STORY FOR THE FUTURE
• 04:44 FOR ALL BELIEVERS, JEW AND GENTILE ALIKE.
• 04:47 THIS IS WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,
• 04:50 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:55 WOW, WHAT A DAY WHEN NAOMI REPRESENTING THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 04:59 TAKES THE CHILD OBED,
• 05:01 THE ONE WHOSE NAME MEANS 'WORSHIP'
• 05:03 AND TOGETHER WITH OUR GENTILE BROTHERS AND SISTERS
• 05:06 WE WORSHIP THE ONE WHOSE NAME IS ABOVE EVERY NAME...
• 05:10 THAT'S THE DAY THAT'S COMING.
• 05:11 THIS STORY IS A MULTI-LAYERED STORY.
• 05:14 EVERY STORY IN THE BIBLE HAS A HISTORICAL MEANING,
• 05:17 HAS A PROPHETIC MEANING AND PERSONAL MEANING.
• 05:20 WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
• 05:21 HISTORICAL...THESE WERE WRITTEN FOR OUR EXAMPLES.
• 05:24 REMEMBER RAV SHOUL, RABBI PAUL SAID IN I CORINTHIANS 10:11
• 05:29 THAT THESE THINGS WRITTEN FOR EXAMPLES FOR US.
• 05:32 WE CAN LEARN FROM EVERY STORY IN THE BIBLE
• 05:34 FROM THE STORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE...
• 05:36 THE GOOD, THE BAD AND UGLY...
• 05:37 OUR WHOLE FAMILY HISTORY IS IN THIS BOOK.
• 05:39 AND THERE IS THE HISTORICAL MEANINGS...
• 05:42 THERE'S SOMETHING IN IT FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 05:43 AND SOMETHING THE WORLD CAN LEARN FROM IT.
• 05:45 THERE'S A PROPHETIC MEANING...
• 05:47 IT ALWAYS POINTS TO MESSIAH.
• 05:49 THERE'S ALWAYS A MEANING THAT RELATES TO THE COMING OF YESHUA
• 05:53 AND THE RETURN OF YESHUA.
• 05:55 AND THERE'S A PERSONAL MEANING...
• 05:57 THERE'S SOMETHING IN IT FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
• 05:59 THERE'S ALWAYS THESE 3 LAYERS.
• 06:01 THIS WHICH IS BORN OF THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES TOGETHER...
• 06:05 BOAZ THE JEWISH ELDER...
• 06:07 AND RUTH, THE MOABITESS...
• 06:10 TOGETHER OBED, "WORSHIP" COMES FROM THEM.
• 06:13 AND THAT WHICH COMES FROM THE JEW AND THE GENTILE COMING TOGETHER
• 06:17 IS A BLESSING IN ALL THE EARTH.
• 06:20 AND THE NEIGHBORS SURROUND NAOMI AND THEY SAY,
• 06:22 "THIS IS AMAZING..."
• 06:23 "THIS IS INCREDIBLE..."
• 06:25 "RUTH...SHE IS BETTER THAN SEVEN SONS FOR YOU."
• 06:27 WHY DID THEY SAY THAT?
• 06:29 BECAUSE SEVEN IS THE NUMBER OF FULLNESS, OF COMPLETION
• 06:31 AND RUTH BY OBEYING HER JEWISH MOTHER-IN-LAW
• 06:36 AND BY OBEYING GOD
• 06:37 SHE CAME INTO HER BLESSING
• 06:40 AND THAT BLESSING WAS REFLECTED BACK ONTO NAOMI.
• 06:43 AND ISN'T THAT HOW LIFE UNFOLDS WHEN WE KNOW YESHUA?
• 06:47 THE BLESSING COMES AND IT INCREASES
• 06:50 AND INCREASES SEVENFOLD
• 06:52 AND THAT'S WHAT GOD PROMISES TO US.
• 06:54 IT MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT THE EAST RIGHT NOW...
• 06:56 THE ASIAN COUNTRIES WHERE THE "BACK TO JERUSALEM" MOVEMENT WAS BIRTHED IN THE 1940'S.
• 07:02 WHAT IS THAT?
• 07:03 THAT IS A COMMITMENT ON THE PART OF THE EASTERN CHURCHES, THE ASIANS,
• 07:07 TO GO THROUGH THE 1040 WINDOW AND RETURN RIGHT TO JERUSALEM
• 07:11 BRINGING THE GOSPEL TO THE ENTIRE MUSLIM WORLD ALONG THE WAY
• 07:15 AND THEN BACK TO MY JEWISH PEOPLE RIGHT HERE WHERE ALL BEGAN.
• 07:19 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE ANOINTING IS ON THE ASIAN CHURCH RIGHT NOW.
• 07:23 IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE INCREDIBLE ECONOMIC BLESSING THAT IS ARISING IN THE EAST
• 07:27 IS CONNECTED TO THEIR LOVE FOR ISRAEL,
• 07:31 THEIR LOVE FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 07:33 THEIR HOPE FOR JERUSALEM
• 07:34 AND THEIR DESIRE TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE MUSLIM WORLD?
• 07:38 I THINK IT MAY BE.
• 07:39 AND THAT'S WHY I SAY IT TODAY AS WE'RE HERE ON THIS WINDY DAY
• 07:42 IN BETHLEHEM WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
• 07:44 WE'RE SEEING AN INCREDIBLE WIND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BLOW THROUGH ISRAEL AND THE MIDDLE-EAST
• 07:50 BECAUSE GOD IS STIRRING UP A GREAT FUTURE FOR THOSE THAT ARE HERE THAT BELIEVE.
• 07:55 I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT MY ARAB BROTHERS AND SISTERS HERE IN BETHLEHEM.
• 07:59 THEY ARE PAYING A PRICE TO SERVE THE LORD HERE
• 08:04 AND AS A JEW IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY LOVE FOR THEM
• 08:08 AND FOR THEIR DESIRE TO PREACH THE GOOD WORD TO THEIR ARAB BROTHERS AND SISTERS
• 08:12 AND TO STAND FOR THAT WHICH IS RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE-EAST.
• 08:16 IT'S AN INCREDIBLE ANOINTING THAT COMES
• 08:18 WHEN JEW AND GENTILE, WHEN JEW AND ARAB SERVE THE LORD TOGETHER.
• 08:22 THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THIS STORY
• 08:25 AS RUTH PREACHES TO US ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS THAT'S COME FROM BETHLEHEM

• 09:14 THERE'S REASON FOR CELEBRATION HERE AT THE CITY'S GATE.
• 09:18 A ONCE TRAGIC STORY HAS MIRACULOUSLY TURNED FOR THE GOOD.
• 09:23 HEARTBROKEN AT THE LOSS OF HER FAMILY WHILE IN MOAB
• 09:28 NAOMI HAS RETURNED WITH HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW RUTH
• 09:32 AND BECOME A VITAL CHAPTER IN A LOVE STORY FOR THE AGES.
• 09:37 RUTH, EVER FAITHFUL TO NAOMI AND THE GOD OF ISRAEL,
• 09:43 HAS GAINED A LOVING REDEEMER IN BOAZ.
• 09:47 AND NOW ON A LITTLE ROAD IN BETHLEHEM OF JUDAH
• 09:51 THEY REJOICE OVER THE SON OF RUTH AND BOAZ.
• 09:55 AND THEY NAMED THE CHILD "OBED" MEANING "SERVANT OF GOD".
• 10:01 OBED WOULD BECOME THE FATHER OF JESSE.
• 10:06 AND JESS WOULD BECOME THE FATHER OF DAVID,
• 10:09 KING OF ALL ISRAEL.
• 10:12 REJOICE THEY SHOULD...
• 10:14 AND IT'S JUST BEGUN...
• 10:17 HERE IN THIS LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM.
• 10:26 WE'RE COMING TO
• 10:27 THE END OF OUR STORY...
• 10:29 MAYBE THE BEGINNING
• 10:30 OF YOUR STORY.
• 10:31 THE SCRIPTURE SAYS
• 10:32 THAT HE'S GOING TO
• 10:33 GATHER THE SHEAVES IN
• 10:34 AT THE END OF THE AGE.
• 10:36 ITS HARVEST TIME
• 10:37 AND JESUS HIMSELF IS GOING TO GATHER IN THE SHEAVES...
• 10:39 HE'S GOING TO SEPARATE SHEEP FROM GOATS, WHEAT FROM TARES.
• 10:42 AND I WANT TO BE IN COMPANY THAT HE SAYS "WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT".
• 10:47 THIS IS A ROMANTIC STORY;
• 10:49 IT'S ALSO A VERY PRACTICAL STORY.
• 10:51 I THINK ABOUT HOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE WAY WE ARE TO TREAT OUR ELDERS,
• 10:55 THE WAY WE ARE TO TREAT OUR IN-LAWS,
• 10:57 IT'S SO SWEET, IT'S SO STRONG.
• 10:59 THE PICTURE OF RUTH AND NAOMI
• 11:02 THE WAY SHE TREATS HER MOTHER IN-LAW...
• 11:04 I THINK THERE'S LESSON IN IT FOR ALL OF US.
• 11:06 RUTH WAS OUTSIDE THE COVENANT.
• 11:09 SHE WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF MOAB.
• 11:11 MOAB WAS DESCENDED FROM LOT.
• 11:14 IN GENESIS 19 WE SEE THAT MOAB WAS THE FIRST SON OF LOT.
• 11:17 AND THE MOABITES CAME UNDER JUDGMENT BY GOD, LATER ON IN THE STORY IN GENESIS,
• 11:23 BECAUSE OF THEIR MISTREATMENT OF JEWISH PEOPLE...
• 11:26 BECAUSE THEY WENT TOO FAR...
• 11:28 AND BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT THE JEWS INTO IDOLATRY.
• 11:30 AND SO GOD SAID "NO, THE MOABITES WILL HAVE NO PART IN US"
• 11:33 AND YET WE FIND RUTH GRAFTED-IN,
• 11:36 RUTH BROUGHT IN TO THE COVENANTS,
• 11:38 THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL
• 11:40 AND THE COVENANTS OF GOD.
• 11:41 ONLY GOD COULD DO THAT.
• 11:43 AND ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT IT WAS AN UNKNOWN SERVANT WHO INTRODUCED RUTH TO BOAZ?
• 11:48 DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN ABRAHAM WAS LOOKING FOR A BRIDE FOR HIS SON ISAAC?
• 11:54 HE SENT ELIEZER, THE SERVANT OF GOD, OUT TO FIND THE BRIDE
• 11:58 AND ELIEZER CAME AS AN UNKNOWN AND FOUND REBEKAH FOR ISAAC.
• 12:03 AND HERE WE SEE IN THE BOOK OF RUTH AN UNNAMED SERVANT
• 12:06 INTRODUCING THE TWO OF THEM IN THE FIELD WHEN RUTH IS GLEANING.
• 12:10 AND IT REMINDS ME THAT YESHUA HIMSELF SAID THAT
• 12:14 SOMEONE WHO MAY SEEM INVISIBLE...
• 12:17 MAY SEEM UNKNOWN TO YOU AT FIRST...
• 12:19 THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD WILL INTRODUCE YOU TO YESHUA HIMSELF.
• 12:24 LISTEN TO WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THIS STORY,
• 12:29 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 12:33 OBED BECAME THE FATHER OF JESSE
• 12:37 AND JESSE THE FATHER OF DAVID...
• 12:40 AND YESHUA IS MASHIACH BEN DAVID;
• 12:43 HE IS THE MESSIAH, SON OF DAVID.
• 12:46 SO THE MESSIANIC LINE IS ESTABLISHED THROUGH JEW AND GENTILE COMING TOGETHER
• 12:50 THROUGH ONE WHO WAS OUTSIDE OF THE COVENANT
• 12:53 BEING BROUGHT INTO THE COVENANT
• 12:54 BECAUSE OF THE GRACE OF GOD.
• 12:56 REMEMBER THE GO'EL WHO SAID "NO",
• 12:59 THE GO'EL WHO SAID HE WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RUTH,
• 13:04 HE SAID "I WILL NOT"
• 13:06 AND MADE THE WAY FOR BOAZ TO TAKE THE REDEMPTIVE ROLE.
• 13:10 WHEN HE DID THAT HE REPRESENTS FOR US WHAT THE LAW COULD NOT DO.
• 13:14 HE ACTED IN A JUST AND HOLY AND PERFECT WAY.
• 13:18 HE WAS OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD.
• 13:20 AND JUST AS THE LAW COULD NOT BRING RUTH INTO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL,
• 13:26 IT WAS ONLY GRACE THAT COULD DO IT
• 13:29 AND WHAT A PICTURE FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
• 13:31 THAT GRACE ALONE THROUGH YESHUA, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST BRINGS US INTO THE BLESSING OF GOD.
• 13:38 AND THAT'S WHAT WE SEE HERE WHEN BOAZ ARISES AS THE KINSMAN REDEEMER.
• 13:43 SO IT IS FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
• 13:45 YOU SEE EPHESIANS 2:8 SAYS,
• 13:54 I WASN'T LOOKING...HE FOUND ME.
• 13:56 I WASN'T KNOWING...HE TOLD ME.
• 13:58 AND IT WAS AN UNKNOWN SERVANT, WHO WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT,
• 14:00 WHO CAME AND SAID "YES...I BEAR WITNESS YESHUA IS THE SON OF DAVID."
• 14:07 "YESHUA IS THE MESSIAH OF THE JEWS"
• 14:10 "YESHUA IS THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS".
• 14:13 "MELECH HAMLAHEM ADONIA ADONIA".
• 14:15 WOW...WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STORY.
• 14:18 AND AS WE COME TO THE CONCLUSION
• 14:20 I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD TO REVEAL TO YOU
• 14:26 "IS JESUS WHO HE SAYS HE IS... IS HE MASHIACH BEN DAVID?"
• 14:30 AND I PROMISE YOU HE WILL SAY "YES HE IS THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR."

• 21:17 WE'RE AT THE CONCLUSION
• 21:18 OF OUR RUTH SERIES.
• 21:19 THIS STORY HAS BEGUN WITH
• 21:22 A FAMINE WHICH CAUSE A FAMILY,
• 21:24 NAOMI AND HER HUSBAND ELIMELECH,
• 21:27 TO GO AND TO FIND FOOD IN ANOTHER LAND.
• 21:30 AND THIS BEGINS WITH FOOD AND FAMILY
• 21:35 AND FAMINE WAS A TRAGIC THING THAT NAOMI FACED.
• 21:38 AND THEN EVEN MORE TRAGIC WAS TO LOSE HER HUSBAND
• 21:40 AND THEN HER TWO SONS
• 21:42 AND THEN TO FACE LIFE WITH THESE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
• 21:45 AND WHAT TO DO MYLES?
• 21:47 I MEAN IT'S JUST ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER THAT NAOMI FACED
• 21:50 BUT THEN WE SEE HER COME THROUGH
• 21:52 AND JUST RISE TO THE TOP THROUGH THIS AMAZING LOVE
• 21:55 THAT SHE'S EXPERIENCED THROUGH RUTH COMING ALONG SIDE OF HER AND REALLY BEING A FRIEND
• 22:00 AND SAYING, "NO...YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE...YOUR GOD MY GOD...WHERE YOU GO I WILL GO."
• 22:06 AND IN THAT DECLARATION THERE WAS AN IMPARTATION OF FAITH
• 22:10 AND THEY BOTH JOURNEYED BACK TO BETHLEHEM
• 22:12 AND THEY BOTH FOUND DIVINE PROVIDENCE.
• 22:14 SHE THEN BEGAN TO TEACH RUTH HOW TO LAY HOLD OF HER PROMISE IN BETHLEHEM
• 22:21 AND HOW TO GO INTO BOAZ AND TO FIND THAT KINSMAN REDEEMER
• 22:25 THAT GOD HAD ORDAINED BOTH OF THEM TO HAVE.
• 22:27 I THINK SHE THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS LOST OUT IN THE WILDERNESS
• 22:31 AND SHE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS ALL GONE
• 22:33 BUT YET GOD...HE HAS HOPE FOR ALL OF US.
• 22:37 HE HAS A GOOD AND AN EXPECTED END FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR LIVES
• 22:42 AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT.
• 22:43 THAT EVEN IN A TIME OF LOSS OR IN A TIME OF REAL PAIN
• 22:47 THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT GOD HAS THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR OUR LIVES
• 22:51 THAT HE'S GOING TO BRING OUT OF IT.
• 22:52 I REALLY THINK THAT'S TRUE.
• 22:53 THAT'S WHY SOME HAVE CALLED THIS
• 22:55 "THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO RUTH"
• 22:56 BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH A PICTURE
• 22:58 OF LOSS, LOVE AND LEGACY
• 23:00 AS YOU SAY.
• 23:01 IT'S SO MUCH A PICTURE OF
• 23:03 MOVING FROM FAMINE TO FAMILY,
• 23:04 FROM FAMINE,
• 23:05 FROM LOSS TO PROVISION.
• 23:07 AND IT GOES THROUGHOUT...
• 23:08 THAT THEME RUNS THROUGHOUT THE BOOK.
• 23:10 IT'S AN INCREDIBLE STORY,
• 23:12 THE PICTURES OF NAOMI AS NATIONAL ISRAEL...
• 23:15 YEARNING FOR HOME.
• 23:16 WE SEE GOD IN OUR DAY RESTORING US TO OUR HOME IN NATURAL ISRAEL
• 23:21 AND WE SEE RUTH AS THE INTERNATIONAL BELIEVER
• 23:24 AS THE GENTILE WORLD AND TRYING TO DECIDE
• 23:26 "HOW DO I BE IN RELATION TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE?"
• 23:30 "HOW DO I BE TOGETHER WITH THEM?"
• 23:32 AND THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON.
• 23:34 THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED IN OUR LIVES WHERE WE'VE BECOME THE ONE NEW MAN
• 23:37 ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS CHAPTER 2
• 23:38 THAT JEW AND GENTILE WOULD WORSHIP TOGETHER,
• 23:41 THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION WOULD BE BROKEN DOWN
• 23:44 AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT HE'S DOING IN THE EARTH TODAY.
• 23:46 IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO SEE THAT IT'S REALLY A LOVE STORY ON SO MANY LEVELS.
• 23:51 I MEAN...THERE'S ROMANCE...
• 23:52 IF YOU LOOK IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 23:55 THE GREEK WORDS FOR LOVE,
• 23:56 EVERY ONE OF THOSE IS IN THIS BOOK.
• 23:58 THINK ABOUT IT...
• 23:59 THERE'S "EROS" LOVE,
• 24:00 THE SEXUAL OR ERRATIC OR INTIMATE LOVE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN, A KOSHER VERSION,
• 24:05 AND THEN THERE'S THE "STORGE" LOVE,
• 24:07 THE FAMILY LOVE BETWEEN RUTH AND NAOMI,
• 24:09 THERE'S "PHILIA" LOVE,
• 24:11 THE BROTHERLY LOVE, YOU CAN SEE THAT IN BOAZ
• 24:13 IN HIS CHARACTER THE WAY HE TREATS HIS WORKERS WITH SUCH RESPECT.
• 24:16 AND FINALLY THERE'S "AGAPE" LOVE,
• 24:18 THE WHOLE THING IS OVERSHADOWED BY THE SPIRITUAL LOVE OF GOD THAT IS OVER IT.
• 24:23 AND WHEN THE SPIRITUAL LOVE OF GOD IS OVER US
• 24:26 THEN THERE'S ENOUGH GOODNESS TO GO OUT AND TOUCH EVERYONE AROUND US.
• 24:29 THAT'S WHY THE SIDES ARE OPEN.
• 24:30 THAT'S WHY THE SIDES OF THE CHUPAH ARE OPEN.
• 24:32 I LOVE THAT.
• 24:33 YOU KNOW ALSO I WANTED JUST TO REMIND US
• 24:35 HOW SPECIAL THAT THE LEGACY THAT KING DAVID WAS ACTUALLY THE GRANDSON OF RUTH.
• 24:42 GREAT-GRANDSON IS RIGHT,
• 24:44 THAT THEY BECAME THE FORBEARERS,
• 24:45 THE ANCESTORS OF KING DAVID
• 24:47 AND DAVID'S GREATER SON, YESHUA JESUS.
• 24:50 IT'S AN INCREDIBLE STORY.
• 24:51 I THINK THAT GOD LOVES TO JUST REALLY GET US IN OUR PREJUDICES.
• 24:54 I LIKE THE WAY HE PUT MOSES WITH ZIPPORAH,
• 24:57 AND HE PUT RAHAB IN THE STORY
• 24:59 AND NOW HE PUTS RUTH IN THE STORY.
• 25:01 SO ANYONE WHO HAS A PREJUDICE
• 25:03 WHETHER THERE'S JEWS AGAINST GENTILES
• 25:04 OR GENTILES AGAINST JEWS,
• 25:06 GOD'S GOING TO BREAK THAT DOWN.
• 25:07 BUT THE HOPE WAS THAT RUTH WAS ABLE TO LAY HOLD OF JEHOVAH GOD.
• 25:13 SHE FOUND THAT REDEEMER.
• 25:16 AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO REMEMBER WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 25:18 THAT THEY HAVE A KEY FOR US AS GENTILES THAT WE NEED TO LAY HOLD OF.
• 25:22 IT'S TRUE.
• 25:23 BUT FOR US, FOR MYSELF AS A JEWISH BELIEVER,
• 25:25 I NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH,
• 25:30 THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE GENTILE BELIEVERS
• 25:32 LIKE YOU TELLING ME ABOUT JESUS,
• 25:34 TELLING ME ABOUT YESHUA,
• 25:35 IT'S A PICTURE OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
• 25:38 AND THERE'S SOMETHING IN THIS FOR EVERYONE,
• 25:40 THE OIL OF THE JEWS AND THE OIL OF THE GENTILES LIGHTS THE MENORAH FULLY.
• 25:44 AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THIS...
• 25:46 THERE'S A PROVIDENCE IN IT THAT REALLY SPEAKS ABOUT THE DAY WE LIVE IN,
• 25:50 THE AGE WE'RE LIVING RIGHT NOW AND GETTING READY FOR THE RETURN OF THE LORD.
• 25:54 WE'RE REALLY GETTING READY FOR THE KING,
• 25:56 FOR THE REAL BOAZ,
• 25:58 FOR THE ONE WHO IS COMING TO COME BACK AND TO TAKE HIS BRIDE,
• 26:03 TAKE HIS RUTH,
• 26:04 TAKE HIS BRIDE TO HIMSELF AS THE BRIDEGROOM FROM HEAVEN
• 26:07 AND SO WE SHALL EVER BE WITH THE LORD.
• 26:09 SO I THINK THAT THIS IS AN AMAZING BOOK.
• 26:12 IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLE FOR US TO PROVIDENTIALLY BE PART OF THIS
• 26:16 AT THE TIME WHEN ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES WAS ABOUT TO DO THE BOOK OF RUTH
• 26:19 THEY FOUND US AND WE FOUND THEM.
• 26:21 AND IT'S JUST BEEN AN AMAZING PART OF OUR STORY.
• 26:24 AND SO TODAY WE FINISHED THIS SERIES THE BOOK OF RUTH.
• 26:28 WE LOVE THAT YOU'VE BEEN WITH US.
• 26:30 IT'S BEEN A PRIVILEGE FOR US TO BE WITH YOU.
• 26:32 AND IN CLOSING WE'D LIKE TO SAY
• 26:34 AND ALWAYS WANT TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE
• 26:36 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
• 26:39 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
