I stumbled upon some truth yesterday that astounded me. [link to savvyinternetladies.com] Before I found this truth I had been thinking about the story of Ruth and how she represents the Bride of Messiah. So I knew that Boaz also had to be a picture of Our Kinsman redeemer who would save the widow woman who chose to cling to her mother-in-law Naomi, who was a picture of Jerusalem after it's desolation. Ruth a Moabitess chose not return back to her pagan roots as did Orpah her sister.
"And [Naomi] said, 'Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.' But Ruth said: 'Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your Elohim, my Elohim. Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. YHWH do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me'" (Ruth 1:15-17, NKJV).
And being a young widow woman she gleans the corners of the field of Boaz a wealthy landowner to provide sustanance for both herself and her mother-in-law Naomi. Rabbinic tradition says that on the night of Tu-b-Av Ruth lays at the feet of Boaz and uncovers his feet. Boaz awakens and sees this widow woman laying at his feet and marries her. They have a child Obed who is the grandfather of King David.
Today is Tu B-Av.
