"Covenant that Brings Life"

Watch the video, or read the transcript below.

Shalom everyone, we are back studying the Book of Ruth today on chapter 3 talking about the Covenant that brings life.

So we are going to keep with our parallel, Naomi representing Israel, Ruth representing the truth Church and Boaz representing Messiah Yeshua, amen?!

So we saw on the last study that Naomi was in the fields of Boaz and she was eating and she was learning, having fellowship with his servants.

But now has come the time to make a decision, a commitment and a covenant with him.

Let’s see where this is going to happen.

Ruth 3:1,2 “Then Naomi, her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, should I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?

Is not Boaז our relative, with whose young women you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor. “

So this is the place where they will have this special meeting – the threshing floor. The place where they separate the barley and the straw. They throw upwards the grains and the barley remains, the straw goes with the wind. So it’s very significant, right?

Continuing:

Ruth 3:3-5 “Wash therefore and anoint yourself and put on your cloak and go down to the threshing floor but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

But when he lies down, observe the place where he lies. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down, and he will tell you what to do.” And she replied, “All that you say I will do.”

So again Naomi is giving instructions to Ruth and Ruth submits to them, amen?!

And what happens now?

Ruth is honored again.

Ruth 3:10,11 ” And he said, “May you be blessed by the Lord my daughter. You have made this last kindness greater than the first in that you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich. And now my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you ask, for all my fellow townsmen know that you are a worthy woman. “

Wow… do you want to be honored by God?

So you should follow the footsteps of Ruth, amen?!

Now, this covenant between Ruth and Boaz benefits so much Naomi, because he rescued the land that belonged to her husband, he buys it again and return it to her.

So we could think: the greater the intimacy the greater the surrender of the Church to the Messiah, the greater the restoration of Israel, amen?!

So to finish, we’re gonna read :

Romans 11:13-15 ” Now I am speaking to the Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles. I magnify my ministry in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead “

So, you should go and wash and anoint yourself and get dressed with your best clothes and go meet your Bridegroom, so this intimacy, this relationship will provoke jealousy to a Jew, amen?!

So Lord, we thank you. Thank you for teaching us. Help us go deeper in intimacy with you and to be full of the Spirit and to provoke jealousy to the Jews that don’t know the Messiah, yet, amen?! beShem Yeshua.

So next video will be the last one of the series.

We’re going to make a review and we’ll talk about hastening the coming of the king, amen?!

Bye, Shalom Shalom!
