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

• 00:05 IT WAS A JOURNEY NO ONE EXPECTED.
• 00:08 FAMINE IN JUDAH HAD BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER IN MOAB
• 00:12 AND NOW...
• 00:14 NOTHING COULD TEAR THEM APART.
• 00:18 FOR NAOMI THE RETURN TO BETHLEHEM WAS A BITTER ONE.
• 00:21 BEHIND HER LAY HER HUSBAND AND TWO SONS BURIED IN FOREIGN SOIL.
• 00:28 FOR RUTH...
• 00:29 A NEW LAND...
• 00:32 A NEW PEOPLE...
• 00:34 A REDEEMER...
• 00:37 AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY OF UNYIELDING DEVOTION.
• 00:42 A LOVE STORY FOR THE AGES.
• 00:56 SHALOM AND WELCOME
• 00:57 TO OUR SHOW.
• 00:58 I AM MYLES WEISS.
• 01:00 THIS IS MY WIFE KATHARINE.
• 01:02 WE ARE THE CO-HOSTS OF
• 01:03 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRY.
• 01:05 WE ARE SO GLAD TO BRING YOU THIS SHOW.
• 01:07 THIS IS ACTUALLY THE LAST IN THE SERIES
• 01:09 ON THE BOOK OF "RUTH, YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE".
• 01:12 WE'RE GOING TO WRAP IT UP TODAY UNFORTUNATELY
• 01:16 BECAUSE I'VE SO ENJOYED THIS TIME AND SHARING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BOOK OF RUTH.
• 01:21 I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GONE IN DEPTH
• 01:24 BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE JUST SCRATCHING THE SURFACE
• 01:26 BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURES IS JUST FULL OF TREASURE AND ANY TIME WE OPEN IT WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE.
• 01:31 AND WE SEE HOW WE'VE COME THROUGH LOSS,
• 01:34 WE'VE COME THROUGH LOVE WHERE NAOMI AND RUTH HAVE LEARNED TO LOVE EACH OTHER AND LOVE GOD.
• 01:41 THERE'S BEEN A REAL SALVATION TO RUTH AND THE RESTORATION THAT GOD IS BRINGING THROUGH THAT.
• 01:47 AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO SEE LEGACY UNFOLD
• 01:50 WHERE IT'S BORN SO MUCH FRUIT THAT A SON IS BORN
• 01:54 AND THERE'S SO MUCH JOY WHEN A SON IS BORN.
• 01:57 I CAN'T FATHOM WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE
• 02:02 FOR NAOMI ESPECIALLY WHO HAD LOST SO MUCH
• 02:05 AND YET SO MUCH WAS RESTORED TO HER BECAUSE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL FRIEND...RUTH
• 02:11 CAME ALONG SIDE OF HER AND GOD HAS DONE A MIRACLE.
• 02:15 HE HAS BROUGHT A RESTORATION.
• 02:17 WITH THESE TWO WOMEN IT'S A STORY OF RESTORATION.
• 02:20 IT REALLY IS.
• 02:22 AND IT'S REALLY NOISED ABROAD BECAUSE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IS IN ON WHAT GOD HAS DONE.
• 02:25 THEY'RE SEEING THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN RUTH
• 02:27 AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH NAOMI.
• 02:29 I'M THINKING ABOUT THE WAY THAT GOD IS FAITHFUL TO US
• 02:33 IN OUR STEPS BEING ORDERED
• 02:34 EVEN IN OUR COMING INTO THE SHOW AT THIS TIME WITH THE BOOK OF RUTH.
• 02:38 THE RUSSIANS COMING...
• 02:39 WHERE MY PEOPLE ARE FROM BY THE WAY...
• 02:41 THE RUSSIANS COMING TO MAKE THE MUSIC
• 02:43 AND MESSIANIC BROTHER ARIE COMING UP OUT OF THE LAND TO TEACH US FROM THE LAND.
• 02:47 AND WE SEE THAT GOD IS A GOD OF PROVIDENCE...
• 02:50 REALLY SHOWN IN THIS STORY.
• 02:52 AND HE'S ORDERING YOUR STEPS AS WELL
• 02:54 AS WE SEE THIS DRAMA UNFOLD WE WANT YOU TO BE REMEMBERING
• 02:57 THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR LIFE
• 02:59 GOD WANTS TO ORDER YOUR STEPS AS WELL.
• 03:01 SO LET'S GO TO OUR DRAMA AND SEE IT CONCLUDE.
• 03:08 NAOMI'S LIFE HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED.
• 03:12 ONCE OVERCOME BY DESPAIR AT THE LOSS OF HER HUSBAND AND TWO SONS
• 03:17 SHE'S FOUND NEW HOPE IN THE BIRTH OF RUTH'S SON
• 03:20 AND THE WOMEN OF BETHLEHEM ARE EQUALLY DELIGHTED.
• 04:13 WE'VE COME FULL CIRCLE.
• 04:15 JUST AS THE STORY BEGAN
• 04:16 WITH EXILE FROM BETHLEHEM
• 04:18 HERE WE ARE BACK IN BETHLEHEM
• 04:20 NEAR MANGER SQUARE
• 04:22 IN THE SHEPHERD'S FIELD
• 04:23 WHERE THE STORY BEGAN
• 04:24 AND WHERE THE STORY WILL UNFOLD
• 04:26 WHEN YESHUA WILL BE BORN SOME YEARS LATER.
• 04:30 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TIME.
• 04:31 WE'RE HERE IT'S A WINDY DAY
• 04:33 AND I FEEL THE WIND OF THE SPIRIT BLOWING THROUGH THE MIDDLE-EAST TODAY
• 04:36 IN SPITE OF FENCES,
• 04:38 IN SPITE OF THE DIFFICULTY POLITICALLY
• 04:40 WE SEE THAT STORY OF RUTH IS THE STORY FOR THE FUTURE
• 04:43 FOR ALL BELIEVERS, JEW AND GENTILE ALIKE.
• 04:46 THIS IS WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,
• 04:49 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:54 WOW, WHAT A DAY WHEN NAOMI REPRESENTING THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 04:58 TAKES THE CHILD OBED,
• 05:00 THE ONE WHOSE NAME MEANS 'WORSHIP'
• 05:02 AND TOGETHER WITH OUR GENTILE BROTHERS AND SISTERS
• 05:05 WE WORSHIP THE ONE WHOSE NAME IS ABOVE EVERY NAME...
• 05:09 THAT'S THE DAY THAT'S COMING.
• 05:10 THIS STORY IS A MULTI-LAYERED STORY.
• 05:13 EVERY STORY IN THE BIBLE HAS A HISTORICAL MEANING,
• 05:16 HAS A PROPHETIC MEANING AND PERSONAL MEANING.
• 05:19 WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
• 05:20 HISTORICAL...THESE WERE WRITTEN FOR OUR EXAMPLES.
• 05:23 REMEMBER RAV SHOUL, RABBI PAUL SAID IN I CORINTHIANS 10:11
• 05:28 THAT THESE THINGS WRITTEN FOR EXAMPLES FOR US.
• 05:31 WE CAN LEARN FROM EVERY STORY IN THE BIBLE
• 05:33 FROM THE STORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE...
• 05:35 THE GOOD, THE BAD AND UGLY...
• 05:36 OUR WHOLE FAMILY HISTORY IS IN THIS BOOK.
• 05:38 AND THERE IS THE HISTORICAL MEANINGS...
• 05:41 THERE'S SOMETHING IN IT FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 05:42 AND SOMETHING THE WORLD CAN LEARN FROM IT.
• 05:44 THERE'S A PROPHETIC MEANING...
• 05:46 IT ALWAYS POINTS TO MESSIAH.
• 05:48 THERE'S ALWAYS A MEANING THAT RELATES TO THE COMING OF YESHUA
• 05:52 AND THE RETURN OF YESHUA.
• 05:54 AND THERE'S A PERSONAL MEANING...
• 05:56 THERE'S SOMETHING IN IT FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
• 05:58 THERE'S ALWAYS THESE 3 LAYERS.
• 06:00 THIS WHICH IS BORN OF THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES TOGETHER...
• 06:04 BOAZ THE JEWISH ELDER...
• 06:06 AND RUTH, THE MOABITESS...
• 06:09 TOGETHER OBED, "WORSHIP" COMES FROM THEM.
• 06:12 AND THAT WHICH COMES FROM THE JEW AND THE GENTILE COMING TOGETHER
• 06:16 IS A BLESSING IN ALL THE EARTH.
• 06:19 AND THE NEIGHBORS SURROUND NAOMI AND THEY SAY,
• 06:21 "THIS IS AMAZING..."
• 06:22 "THIS IS INCREDIBLE..."
• 06:24 "RUTH...SHE IS BETTER THAN SEVEN SONS FOR YOU."
• 06:26 WHY DID THEY SAY THAT?
• 06:28 BECAUSE SEVEN IS THE NUMBER OF FULLNESS, OF COMPLETION
• 06:30 AND RUTH BY OBEYING HER JEWISH MOTHER-IN-LAW
• 06:35 AND BY OBEYING GOD
• 06:36 SHE CAME INTO HER BLESSING
• 06:39 AND THAT BLESSING WAS REFLECTED BACK ONTO NAOMI.
• 06:42 AND ISN'T THAT HOW LIFE UNFOLDS WHEN WE KNOW YESHUA?
• 06:46 THE BLESSING COMES AND IT INCREASES
• 06:49 AND INCREASES SEVENFOLD
• 06:51 AND THAT'S WHAT GOD PROMISES TO US.
• 06:53 IT MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT THE EAST RIGHT NOW...
• 06:55 THE ASIAN COUNTRIES WHERE THE "BACK TO JERUSALEM" MOVEMENT WAS BIRTHED IN THE 1940'S.
• 07:01 WHAT IS THAT?
• 07:02 THAT IS A COMMITMENT ON THE PART OF THE EASTERN CHURCHES, THE ASIANS,
• 07:06 TO GO THROUGH THE 1040 WINDOW AND RETURN RIGHT TO JERUSALEM
• 07:10 BRINGING THE GOSPEL TO THE ENTIRE MUSLIM WORLD ALONG THE WAY
• 07:14 AND THEN BACK TO MY JEWISH PEOPLE RIGHT HERE WHERE ALL BEGAN.
• 07:18 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE ANOINTING IS ON THE ASIAN CHURCH RIGHT NOW.
• 07:22 IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE INCREDIBLE ECONOMIC BLESSING THAT IS ARISING IN THE EAST
• 07:26 IS CONNECTED TO THEIR LOVE FOR ISRAEL,
• 07:30 THEIR LOVE FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 07:32 THEIR HOPE FOR JERUSALEM
• 07:33 AND THEIR DESIRE TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE MUSLIM WORLD?
• 07:37 I THINK IT MAY BE.
• 07:38 AND THAT'S WHY I SAY IT TODAY AS WE'RE HERE ON THIS WINDY DAY
• 07:41 IN BETHLEHEM WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
• 07:43 WE'RE SEEING AN INCREDIBLE WIND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BLOW THROUGH ISRAEL AND THE MIDDLE-EAST
• 07:49 BECAUSE GOD IS STIRRING UP A GREAT FUTURE FOR THOSE THAT ARE HERE THAT BELIEVE.
• 07:54 I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT MY ARAB BROTHERS AND SISTERS HERE IN BETHLEHEM.
• 07:58 THEY ARE PAYING A PRICE TO SERVE THE LORD HERE
• 08:03 AND AS A JEW IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY LOVE FOR THEM
• 08:07 AND FOR THEIR DESIRE TO PREACH THE GOOD WORD TO THEIR ARAB BROTHERS AND SISTERS
• 08:11 AND TO STAND FOR THAT WHICH IS RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE-EAST.
• 08:15 IT'S AN INCREDIBLE ANOINTING THAT COMES
• 08:17 WHEN JEW AND GENTILE, WHEN JEW AND ARAB SERVE THE LORD TOGETHER.
• 08:21 THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THIS STORY
• 08:24 AS RUTH PREACHES TO US ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS THAT'S COME FROM BETHLEHEM
• 08:29 TO GO AROUND THE WHOLE WORLD.

• 09:13 THERE'S REASON FOR CELEBRATION HERE AT THE CITY'S GATE.
• 09:17 A ONCE TRAGIC STORY HAS MIRACULOUSLY TURNED FOR THE GOOD.
• 09:22 HEARTBROKEN AT THE LOSS OF HER FAMILY WHILE IN MOAB
• 09:27 NAOMI HAS RETURNED WITH HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW RUTH
• 09:31 AND BECOME A VITAL CHAPTER IN A LOVE STORY FOR THE AGES.
• 09:36 RUTH, EVER FAITHFUL TO NAOMI AND THE GOD OF ISRAEL,
• 09:42 HAS GAINED A LOVING REDEEMER IN BOAZ.
• 09:46 AND NOW ON A LITTLE ROAD IN BETHLEHEM OF JUDAH
• 09:50 THEY REJOICE OVER THE SON OF RUTH AND BOAZ.
• 09:54 AND THEY NAMED THE CHILD "OBED" MEANING "SERVANT OF GOD".
• 10:00 OBED WOULD BECOME THE FATHER OF JESSE.
• 10:05 AND JESS WOULD BECOME THE FATHER OF DAVID,
• 10:08 KING OF ALL ISRAEL.
• 10:11 REJOICE THEY SHOULD...
• 10:13 AND IT'S JUST BEGUN...
• 10:16 HERE IN THIS LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM.
• 10:25 WE'RE COMING TO
• 10:26 THE END OF OUR STORY...
• 10:28 MAYBE THE BEGINNING
• 10:29 OF YOUR STORY.
• 10:30 THE SCRIPTURE SAYS
• 10:31 THAT HE'S GOING TO
• 10:32 GATHER THE SHEAVES IN
• 10:33 AT THE END OF THE AGE.
• 10:35 ITS HARVEST TIME
• 10:36 AND JESUS HIMSELF IS GOING TO GATHER IN THE SHEAVES...
• 10:38 HE'S GOING TO SEPARATE SHEEP FROM GOATS, WHEAT FROM TARES.
• 10:41 AND I WANT TO BE IN COMPANY THAT HE SAYS "WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT".
• 10:46 THIS IS A ROMANTIC STORY;
• 10:48 IT'S ALSO A VERY PRACTICAL STORY.
• 10:50 I THINK ABOUT HOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE WAY WE ARE TO TREAT OUR ELDERS,
• 10:54 THE WAY WE ARE TO TREAT OUR IN-LAWS,
• 10:56 IT'S SO SWEET, IT'S SO STRONG.
• 10:58 THE PICTURE OF RUTH AND NAOMI
• 11:01 THE WAY SHE TREATS HER MOTHER IN-LAW...
• 11:03 I THINK THERE'S LESSON IN IT FOR ALL OF US.
• 11:05 RUTH WAS OUTSIDE THE COVENANT.
• 11:08 SHE WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF MOAB.
• 11:10 MOAB WAS DESCENDED FROM LOT.
• 11:13 IN GENESIS 19 WE SEE THAT MOAB WAS THE FIRST SON OF LOT.
• 11:16 AND THE MOABITES CAME UNDER JUDGMENT BY GOD, LATER ON IN THE STORY IN GENESIS,
• 11:22 BECAUSE OF THEIR MISTREATMENT OF JEWISH PEOPLE...
• 11:25 BECAUSE THEY WENT TOO FAR...
• 11:27 AND BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT THE JEWS INTO IDOLATRY.
• 11:29 AND SO GOD SAID "NO, THE MOABITES WILL HAVE NO PART IN US"
• 11:32 AND YET WE FIND RUTH GRAFTED-IN,
• 11:35 RUTH BROUGHT IN TO THE COVENANTS,
• 11:37 THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL
• 11:39 AND THE COVENANTS OF GOD.
• 11:40 ONLY GOD COULD DO THAT.
• 11:42 AND ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT IT WAS AN UNKNOWN SERVANT WHO INTRODUCED RUTH TO BOAZ?
• 11:47 DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN ABRAHAM WAS LOOKING FOR A BRIDE FOR HIS SON ISAAC?
• 11:53 HE SENT ELIEZER, THE SERVANT OF GOD, OUT TO FIND THE BRIDE
• 11:57 AND ELIEZER CAME AS AN UNKNOWN AND FOUND REBEKAH FOR ISAAC.
• 12:02 AND HERE WE SEE IN THE BOOK OF RUTH AN UNNAMED SERVANT
• 12:05 INTRODUCING THE TWO OF THEM IN THE FIELD WHEN RUTH IS GLEANING.
• 12:09 AND IT REMINDS ME THAT YESHUA HIMSELF SAID THAT
• 12:13 SOMEONE WHO MAY SEEM INVISIBLE...
• 12:16 MAY SEEM UNKNOWN TO YOU AT FIRST...
• 12:18 THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD WILL INTRODUCE YOU TO YESHUA HIMSELF.
• 12:23 LISTEN TO WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THIS STORY,
• 12:28 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 12:32 OBED BECAME THE FATHER OF JESSE
• 12:36 AND JESSE THE FATHER OF DAVID...
• 12:39 AND YESHUA IS MASHIACH BEN DAVID;
• 12:42 HE IS THE MESSIAH, SON OF DAVID.
• 12:45 SO THE MESSIANIC LINE IS ESTABLISHED THROUGH JEW AND GENTILE COMING TOGETHER
• 12:49 THROUGH ONE WHO WAS OUTSIDE OF THE COVENANT
• 12:52 BEING BROUGHT INTO THE COVENANT
• 12:53 BECAUSE OF THE GRACE OF GOD.
• 12:55 REMEMBER THE GO'EL WHO SAID "NO",
• 12:58 THE GO'EL WHO SAID HE WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RUTH,
• 13:03 HE SAID "I WILL NOT"
• 13:05 AND MADE THE WAY FOR BOAZ TO TAKE THE REDEMPTIVE ROLE.
• 13:09 WHEN HE DID THAT HE REPRESENTS FOR US WHAT THE LAW COULD NOT DO.
• 13:13 HE ACTED IN A JUST AND HOLY AND PERFECT WAY.
• 13:17 HE WAS OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD.
• 13:19 AND JUST AS THE LAW COULD NOT BRING RUTH INTO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL,
• 13:25 IT WAS ONLY GRACE THAT COULD DO IT
• 13:28 AND WHAT A PICTURE FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
• 13:30 THAT GRACE ALONE THROUGH YESHUA, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST BRINGS US INTO THE BLESSING OF GOD.
• 13:37 AND THAT'S WHAT WE SEE HERE WHEN BOAZ ARISES AS THE KINSMAN REDEEMER.
• 13:42 SO IT IS FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
• 13:44 YOU SEE EPHESIANS 2:8 SAYS,
• 13:53 I WASN'T LOOKING...HE FOUND ME.
• 13:55 I WASN'T KNOWING...HE TOLD ME.
• 13:57 AND IT WAS AN UNKNOWN SERVANT, WHO WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT,
• 13:59 WHO CAME AND SAID "YES...I BEAR WITNESS YESHUA IS THE SON OF DAVID."
• 14:06 "YESHUA IS THE MESSIAH OF THE JEWS"
• 14:09 "YESHUA IS THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS".
• 14:12 "MELECH HAMLAHEM ADONIA ADONIA".
• 14:14 WOW...WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STORY.
• 14:17 AND AS WE COME TO THE CONCLUSION
• 14:19 I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD TO REVEAL TO YOU
• 14:25 "IS JESUS WHO HE SAYS HE IS... IS HE MASHIACH BEN DAVID?"
• 14:29 AND I PROMISE YOU HE WILL SAY "YES HE IS THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR."

• 21:16 WE'RE AT THE CONCLUSION
• 21:17 OF OUR RUTH SERIES.
• 21:18 THIS STORY HAS BEGUN WITH
• 21:21 A FAMINE WHICH CAUSE A FAMILY,
• 21:23 NAOMI AND HER HUSBAND ELIMELECH,
• 21:26 TO GO AND TO FIND FOOD IN ANOTHER LAND.
• 21:29 AND THIS BEGINS WITH FOOD AND FAMILY
• 21:34 AND FAMINE WAS A TRAGIC THING THAT NAOMI FACED.
• 21:37 AND THEN EVEN MORE TRAGIC WAS TO LOSE HER HUSBAND
• 21:39 AND THEN HER TWO SONS
• 21:41 AND THEN TO FACE LIFE WITH THESE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
• 21:44 AND WHAT TO DO MYLES?
• 21:46 I MEAN IT'S JUST ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER THAT NAOMI FACED
• 21:49 BUT THEN WE SEE HER COME THROUGH
• 21:51 AND JUST RISE TO THE TOP THROUGH THIS AMAZING LOVE
• 21:54 THAT SHE'S EXPERIENCED THROUGH RUTH COMING ALONG SIDE OF HER AND REALLY BEING A FRIEND
• 21:59 AND SAYING, "NO...YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE...YOUR GOD MY GOD...WHERE YOU GO I WILL GO."
• 22:05 AND IN THAT DECLARATION THERE WAS AN IMPARTATION OF FAITH
• 22:09 AND THEY BOTH JOURNEYED BACK TO BETHLEHEM
• 22:11 AND THEY BOTH FOUND DIVINE PROVIDENCE.
• 22:13 SHE THEN BEGAN TO TEACH RUTH HOW TO LAY HOLD OF HER PROMISE IN BETHLEHEM
• 22:20 AND HOW TO GO INTO BOAZ AND TO FIND THAT KINSMAN REDEEMER
• 22:24 THAT GOD HAD ORDAINED BOTH OF THEM TO HAVE.
• 22:26 I THINK SHE THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS LOST OUT IN THE WILDERNESS
• 22:30 AND SHE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS ALL GONE
• 22:32 BUT YET GOD...HE HAS HOPE FOR ALL OF US.
• 22:36 HE HAS A GOOD AND AN EXPECTED END FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR LIVES
• 22:41 AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT.
• 22:42 THAT EVEN IN A TIME OF LOSS OR IN A TIME OF REAL PAIN
• 22:46 THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT GOD HAS THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR OUR LIVES
• 22:50 THAT HE'S GOING TO BRING OUT OF IT.
• 22:51 I REALLY THINK THAT'S TRUE.
• 22:52 THAT'S WHY SOME HAVE CALLED THIS
• 22:54 "THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO RUTH"
• 22:55 BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH A PICTURE
• 22:57 OF LOSS, LOVE AND LEGACY
• 22:59 AS YOU SAY.
• 23:00 IT'S SO MUCH A PICTURE OF
• 23:02 MOVING FROM FAMINE TO FAMILY,
• 23:03 FROM FAMINE,
• 23:04 FROM LOSS TO PROVISION.
• 23:06 AND IT GOES THROUGHOUT...
• 23:07 THAT THEME RUNS THROUGHOUT THE BOOK.
• 23:09 IT'S AN INCREDIBLE STORY,
• 23:11 THE PICTURES OF NAOMI AS NATIONAL ISRAEL...
• 23:14 YEARNING FOR HOME.
• 23:15 WE SEE GOD IN OUR DAY RESTORING US TO OUR HOME IN NATURAL ISRAEL
• 23:20 AND WE SEE RUTH AS THE INTERNATIONAL BELIEVER
• 23:23 AS THE GENTILE WORLD AND TRYING TO DECIDE
• 23:25 "HOW DO I BE IN RELATION TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE?"
• 23:29 "HOW DO I BE TOGETHER WITH THEM?"
• 23:31 AND THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON.
• 23:33 THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED IN OUR LIVES WHERE WE'VE BECOME THE ONE NEW MAN
• 23:36 ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS CHAPTER 2
• 23:37 THAT JEW AND GENTILE WOULD WORSHIP TOGETHER,
• 23:40 THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION WOULD BE BROKEN DOWN
• 23:43 AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT HE'S DOING IN THE EARTH TODAY.
• 23:45 IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO SEE THAT IT'S REALLY A LOVE STORY ON SO MANY LEVELS.
• 23:50 I MEAN...THERE'S ROMANCE...
• 23:51 IF YOU LOOK IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 23:54 THE GREEK WORDS FOR LOVE,
• 23:55 EVERY ONE OF THOSE IS IN THIS BOOK.
• 23:57 THINK ABOUT IT...
• 23:58 THERE'S "EROS" LOVE,
• 23:59 THE SEXUAL OR ERRATIC OR INTIMATE LOVE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN, A KOSHER VERSION,
• 24:04 AND THEN THERE'S THE "STORGE" LOVE,
• 24:06 THE FAMILY LOVE BETWEEN RUTH AND NAOMI,
• 24:08 THERE'S "PHILIA" LOVE,
• 24:10 THE BROTHERLY LOVE, YOU CAN SEE THAT IN BOAZ
• 24:12 IN HIS CHARACTER THE WAY HE TREATS HIS WORKERS WITH SUCH RESPECT.
• 24:15 AND FINALLY THERE'S "AGAPE" LOVE,
• 24:17 THE WHOLE THING IS OVERSHADOWED BY THE SPIRITUAL LOVE OF GOD THAT IS OVER IT.
• 24:22 AND WHEN THE SPIRITUAL LOVE OF GOD IS OVER US
• 24:25 THEN THERE'S ENOUGH GOODNESS TO GO OUT AND TOUCH EVERYONE AROUND US.
• 24:28 THAT'S WHY THE SIDES ARE OPEN.
• 24:29 THAT'S WHY THE SIDES OF THE CHUPAH ARE OPEN.
• 24:31 I LOVE THAT.
• 24:32 YOU KNOW ALSO I WANTED JUST TO REMIND US
• 24:34 HOW SPECIAL THAT THE LEGACY THAT KING DAVID WAS ACTUALLY THE GRANDSON OF RUTH.
• 24:41 GREAT-GRANDSON IS RIGHT,
• 24:43 THAT THEY BECAME THE FORBEARERS,
• 24:44 THE ANCESTORS OF KING DAVID
• 24:46 AND DAVID'S GREATER SON, YESHUA JESUS.
• 24:49 IT'S AN INCREDIBLE STORY.
• 24:50 I THINK THAT GOD LOVES TO JUST REALLY GET US IN OUR PREJUDICES.
• 24:53 I LIKE THE WAY HE PUT MOSES WITH ZIPPORAH,
• 24:56 AND HE PUT RAHAB IN THE STORY
• 24:58 AND NOW HE PUTS RUTH IN THE STORY.
• 25:00 SO ANYONE WHO HAS A PREJUDICE
• 25:02 WHETHER THERE'S JEWS AGAINST GENTILES
• 25:03 OR GENTILES AGAINST JEWS,
• 25:05 GOD'S GOING TO BREAK THAT DOWN.
• 25:06 BUT THE HOPE WAS THAT RUTH WAS ABLE TO LAY HOLD OF JEHOVAH GOD.
• 25:12 SHE FOUND THAT REDEEMER.
• 25:15 AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO REMEMBER WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 25:17 THAT THEY HAVE A KEY FOR US AS GENTILES THAT WE NEED TO LAY HOLD OF.
• 25:21 IT'S TRUE.
• 25:22 BUT FOR US, FOR MYSELF AS A JEWISH BELIEVER,
• 25:24 I NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH,
• 25:29 THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE GENTILE BELIEVERS
• 25:31 LIKE YOU TELLING ME ABOUT JESUS,
• 25:33 TELLING ME ABOUT YESHUA,
• 25:34 IT'S A PICTURE OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
• 25:37 AND THERE'S SOMETHING IN THIS FOR EVERYONE,
• 25:39 THE OIL OF THE JEWS AND THE OIL OF THE GENTILES LIGHTS THE MENORAH FULLY.
• 25:43 AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THIS...
• 25:45 THERE'S A PROVIDENCE IN IT THAT REALLY SPEAKS ABOUT THE DAY WE LIVE IN,
• 25:49 THE AGE WE'RE LIVING RIGHT NOW AND GETTING READY FOR THE RETURN OF THE LORD.
• 25:53 WE'RE REALLY GETTING READY FOR THE KING,
• 25:55 FOR THE REAL BOAZ,
• 25:57 FOR THE ONE WHO IS COMING TO COME BACK AND TO TAKE HIS BRIDE,
• 26:02 TAKE HIS RUTH,
• 26:03 TAKE HIS BRIDE TO HIMSELF AS THE BRIDEGROOM FROM HEAVEN
• 26:06 AND SO WE SHALL EVER BE WITH THE LORD.
• 26:08 SO I THINK THAT THIS IS AN AMAZING BOOK.
• 26:11 IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLE FOR US TO PROVIDENTIALLY BE PART OF THIS
• 26:15 AT THE TIME WHEN ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES WAS ABOUT TO DO THE BOOK OF RUTH
• 26:18 THEY FOUND US AND WE FOUND THEM.
• 26:20 AND IT'S JUST BEEN AN AMAZING PART OF OUR STORY.
• 26:23 AND SO TODAY WE FINISHED THIS SERIES THE BOOK OF RUTH.
• 26:27 WE LOVE THAT YOU'VE BEEN WITH US.
• 26:29 IT'S BEEN A PRIVILEGE FOR US TO BE WITH YOU.
• 26:31 AND IN CLOSING WE'D LIKE TO SAY
• 26:33 AND ALWAYS WANT TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE
• 26:35 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
• 26:38 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
