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.

They are spiritually lost and need salvation.  They are spiritually deaf so they cannot listen to God’s Word.  The other reason they oppose Godly people is they are walking in the footsteps of their father, the devil.  Jesus said, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you cannot hear My Word. Read more at: www.bibleabookoftruth.com

EXPLAINING THE NEPHILIM GIANTS The Nephilim were the wicked giant offspring born to the women who had been raped by the fallen angels referred to as ‘the sons of God’.  The Nephilim ‘men of renown’ were not decent men who were well known, they were vicious, violent, wicked half human, half fallen angels who later brought into existence the Amalek and Anakim (plural of Anak).
