I prayed and asked the Lord for revelation, and during the study, the Holy Spirit revealed that she represents the Jewish people who in the last days of the soul harvesting, will be invigorated with a renewed excitement about the heavenly Boaz, Jesus. When Naomi saw how favored Ruth was, despite the circumstances against her, her faith was revived and she excitedly told Ruth about the blessing of the kinsman redeemer that was available to the two of them. I believe that the predominately Gentile church today is on the brink of enticing the Jewish people in the same way to seek out and claim their Messiah, Jesus!
Ruth obeyed her mother-in-law, Naomi (who again, represents the Jewish people who were entrusted with the oracles of God, Scriptures, and prophecy of Messiah) and sought the refuge of Boaz. By claiming her right of redemption, Ruth was about to go from being daughter (which is what Boaz called her at their first meeting) to BRIDE!
Did you know that in these last days, Jesus will reveal to you that God is not just a heavenly father and He is not just your Savior, Lord, brother, Redeemer, but He is your BRIDEGROOM! Who is the bridegroom? One who woos, romances, loves with a passion, cherishes the bride (who is the church), and truly GETS who she is inside, essentially the consummate soul mate.
Did you know that you have a soul mate in Jesus? I never really got that revelation until today. And I was the teacher! But really it was the Holy Spirit teaching. What a wonderful, deep, lovely, comforting revelation from the Lord!
