RUTH THE ANCESTOR OF JESUS

RUTH THE ANCESTOR OF JESUS



Ruth became the fore-mother of Jewish royalty in Israel’s Messianic lineage by being loyal, pure and by turning her heart away from the false gods of the Moabites, mainly Baal and Chemosh, to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 
Her loyalty to her widowed mother-in-law Naomi earned her an esteemed book of her own; the Book of Ruth. 
Ruth herself was left a widow when Mahlon died. 
Abraham’s family were all Hebrews (Genesis 14:13) so the Moabite tribe was a Hebrew tribe derived from Abraham’s nephew Lot but they were not Jews who came from the tribe of Judah. 
Ruth the Moabite was a Hebrew not a Gentile.

EGYPT'S TEN PLAGUES

Image
EGYPT'S TEN PLAGUES The Pharaoh in the time of Moses was a hard, stubborn and ruthless man. His heart was very hard and the  Lord hardened his heart even more so.  He would not initially allow the Hebrews to leave Egypt but after ten  horrific plagues, the Pharaoh forced the Hebrews to flee and they took tons of gold, silver, precious stones, flocks, herds and clothing as payment for many years of unpaid slavery.  They were not slaves when they first  went into Egypt, but after Joseph died and a new Pharaoh arose, the Hebrews were then forced to be  slaves.  In spite of their slavery the Hebrews had so many children, at one point in time the Hebrews outnumbered the Egyptians. The ten plagues were divine judgement on a very idolatrous nation. See more at: www.bibleabookoftruth.com

SAME SEX MARRIAGE WILL BRING GOD'S JUDGEMENT

Image
New topical topic To the foolish politicians who vote for same sex marriage, we Christians must stand up and declare: In the Name of Jesus our Saviour, stop your stupid nonsense. Do you not realise that by passing the law to allow same sex couples to marry, you are bringing God’s wrath and judgement upon your country – upon the people your swore to represent? Do not pass that bill; do not allow same sex couples to marry; do not accept that same sex marriage is okay – because it is not. It is the legal sanctioning of an abomination to God, and that was the turning point in God’s decision to destroy the earth with a flood. If that does not impress you, then perhaps the knowledge that next time God sends His judgement to earth, He will burn the whole earth with fire (Isaiah 66:14 to16; 2 Peter 3:7, 10 & 12).
