RUT
THE SOUL THAT RECOGNIZES THE GENTLEMAN
The grandmother of Isaí, father of king David, discovers a soul to us that leaves its religion and tradition to follow the way of the Spirit of God. This book that unites the time of the judges with the one of the prophet Samuel and the kings of Israel, is short only 4 chapters, but its message is loaded of a deep and spiritual meaning. To his it shows us history a woman of great determination, without a doubt chosen by God to be grandmother of the father of king David, that king who so many times we have seen symbolizing the Mesías, That has fulfilled the prophecies that in David appeared to us.
This woman represents, as we see in the study of the Biblical text and as we have begun this introduction, the soul of any person of the world of any time, that after recognizing the approach of God its life, does not let pass the opportunity and reacts of unconditional way.
We will see, then, the spiritual outcome that symbolizes the final marriage between Booz and Rut.
BIBLICAL TEXT
RUT
CHAPTER 1
1Aconteció in the days that governed the judges, whom Earth hunger were. And a man of Bethlehem de Judá went to dwell in the fields of Moab, he and his wife, and two children his.
We begin with a typical situation in the religions of the world and the churches: there was hunger, and if we understand this spiritual hunger like, that is to say of lack of taught Word of God with revelation, interpretation and approach to the town of God, the men get tired of the liturgy, and the spirit of the man goes out. For that reason the Gentleman taught and abriera so many things to us of His Word, He if who gave “… words us of eternal life…”.
Elimelec, with his wife and his two children symbolizes to person with his mind and his two projects of life, material and spiritual, went then, to Moab, this earth receives name of one of both children of Lot, (the man of church and religion) that their two daughters emborracharon to have descendants of Him, and we could say that they were his two religious projects. A soul anyone of Moab is then Rut, earth with its religion. Lot was not able to live in the mount, following the revelation of God, needed an organization to be related to God, when in fact the Church is the congregation of the brothers that are related to God in Christ.
2El name of that one man was Elimelec, and the one of his wife, Noemí; and the names of their children were Mahlón and Quelión, efrateos of Bethlehem de Judá. They arrived, then, to the fields of Moab, and they remained there.
The fields of Moab represent the Earth of another religion, and also another culture, where they leave his fruits.
3Y died Elimelec, husband of Noemí, and was she with its two children, 4los as they took for himself moabitas women; the name of one was Orfa, and the name of the other, Rut; and they inhabited about ten years there.
when dying Elimelec the key is taught to us in the text to understand that this man who came from the town and the Law of God, dies not to find food spiritual, also that the turn out to watch in other cultures is that all is almost equal.
But it is the soul of this man with his two children or ideas on the life and the spirit. When marrying we see how the person adopts the two Earth proposals where she is. One is Orfa, the material and another Rut, the spiritual.
5Y also died both, Mahlón and Quelión, being therefore the abandoned woman of their two children and their husband. 6Entonces rose with its daughters-in-law, and returned of the fields of Moab; because it heard in the field of Moab that Yahweh had visited its town to give bread them. 7Salió, then, of the place where there was been, and with her their two daughters-in-law, and began to walk to become to the Earth of Judá.
Noemí hears that in his town the Gentleman gives prophet whom the truth of the God preaches and gives to eat the spirit, and march, seeing itself that has not found anything better. Nevertheless account does not occur of which God has put in her a faith that allows him to continue recognizing the sovereignty of God, even if the things have not gone to him to their taste, although God disciplines to us if we separated from Him and we looked for other ways instead of to have patience in Him. The Earth de Judá represents the life in the Way of God.
8Y Noemí said to its two daughters-in-law: You walk, volveos each to the house of its mother; Yahweh makes with you mercy, you have done since it with deads and me. 9Os grants Yahweh that you find rest, each in house of its husband. She kissed soon them, and they raised their voice and cried, 10y said to him: Certainly we will go with you to your town.
The two daughters-in-law, the two ideas that the culture that has visited has on the life and the spiritual, are wanted to be in the mind of the person. Noemí, this person immediately rejects and already wants to get rid of them to go to the alive God.
11Y Noemí responded: Volveos, daughters mine; why you have to go with me? Have I more children in the belly, who can be your husbands? 12Volveos, daughters mine, and gone; because I already am old to have husband. And although it would say: Hope I have, and tonight it would be with husband, and it would even give to light children, 13were you to wait for them until they were great? You had of quedaros without marrying according to love to them? No, daughters mine; that greater bitterness I have who you, because the hand of Yahweh has left against me. 14Y they raised their voice again and cried; and Orfa kissed its mother-in-law, but Rut remained with her. 15Y Noemí said: There am your sister-in-law has become here to its town and its Gods; vuélvete you after her.
Vuélvete your after her, to make see us as the mind of Noemí no longer wants nothing of the Earth nor of the people with whom it is, because it knows that only it will render accounts before God, not before idols of the world. But the Gentleman reserves a surprise, the same to him that takes the Jews when they see the love of the Gentile ones by the things of God and Its Word like spiritual Jews.
16Respondió Rut: You do not request to me that it leaves you, and me aside from you; because to wherever you will be, I will go I, and wherever you will live, I will live. Your town will be my town, and your God my God. 17Donde you will die, I will die, and there I will be buried; to thus Yahweh does me, and even me year, that only the death will make separation between us two.
I will not leave the faith in God although you request it to me. Where the children live on God, I will live. Where Christ died, in the cross, he is where we must die to our old man.
18Y seeing Noemí that was so resolute to go with her, did not say more. they 19Anduvieron, then, they two until they arrived at Bethlehem; and it occurred that being entered Bethlehem, all the city was affected because of them, and said: It is not this one Noemí? 20Y she responded to them: You do not call Noemí, but llamadme to me Mara; because in great bitterness the Almighty has put me. 21Yo I was myself full, but Yahweh me has returned with the empty hands. Why you will call Noemí to me, since Yahweh has given testimony against me, and the Almighty has to me heartbroken?
The Noemí soul went away full thinking that what would find was better than what God gave him now and thinks that she is empty, but Yahweh gives Rut; it turns his soul into determined soul to wait for in the mercy and obedience to God. This does God causing to jealousy to which they separate from his town, with which they fall in love with Him and they were not of his town, but that by the preaching of the Gospel becomes town of God.
22Así returned Noemí, and Rut the moabita its daughter-in-law with her; it returned from the fields of Moab, and arrived in the beginning at Bethlehem of the harvest of the barley.
CHAPTER 2
1Tenía Noemí a relative of its husband, rich man of the family of Elimelec, which was called Booz.
A relative of his husband is a brother in the faith of God, of the town of God, rich spiritually, or that has God, sometimes same God or an angel.
2Y Rut the moabita said to Noemí: I request you that you let to me go to the field, and will gather ears after that one whose eyes will find grace. And it responded to him: She sees, daughter mine.
Rut, being in field and town of God, between which they are like his mother-in-law, those that they are of his God, feels as in house and is going to look for and to gather the fruit of its faith, the faith that has received in that God, that her mother-in-law even continues recognizing once lost her husband and his two children. Between these, somebody I will find that it teaches the Way to me of the Gentleman, thinks Rut.
3Fue, then, and arriving, formed ears in the field after the harvesters; and era of Booz occurred that one part of the field, which was of the family of Elimelec. 4Y there am Booz here wine of Bethlehem, and said to the harvesters: Yahweh is with you. And they responded: Yahweh blesses to you. 5Y Booz said to its servant the butler of the harvesters: Of whom she is this young person? 6Y the servant, butler of the harvesters, responded and said: It is the young moabita that returned with Noemí of the fields of Moab; 7y has said: I request to you that you let to me gather and join after the harvesters between the sheaves. It entered, then, and it is from in the morning until now, without even resting nor for a moment.
Booz represents the Gentleman, the field is his, the butler is the old one in the faith, the shepherd who is in charge of the work in the souls. Also he is a brother in the faith that sees that a young soul, rather a soul that is young or beginning in the Way of God, works to learn all the day without rest. Then Booz recognizes, to a soul that has left his… earth and its relations… and needs to learn of God.
8Entonces Booz said to Rut: It hears, daughter mine, you are not going to form ears to another field, nor happen of here; and here you will be next to my servants. 9Mira well the field that harvests, and follows them; because I have commanded to the servants who do not bother to you. And when you are thirsty, it sees the containers, and it drinks of the water that the servants remove.
Daughter mine: she is daughter of my doctrine. Not to another field: she is you do not look for another doctrine because the Word of God is the true doctrine, the alive Bread that descended from the sky. Juan 1. When you are thirsty, of God, the containers, they are the souls of which already they have knowledge of the Gentleman and have been full of the Spirit Santo. The servants, are the bishops or servants of God who humbly must give to eat and to drink to the souls that they love the Gentleman, not those that imposes man orders and/or they themselves prevail using the Word of God, or another sacred book as he happens in other religions.
10Ella then lowering its face inclined to earth, and it said to him: Why I have found grace in your eyes so that you recognize to me, being foreign I?
11Y responding Booz, said to him: I have known everything what you have done with your mother-in-law after the death of your husband, and that leaving to your father and your mother and the Earth where you were born, you have come to a town that you did not know before. 12Yahweh compensates your work, and your remuneration is fulfilled from Yahweh God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to refugiarte. 13Y she said: Sir mine, finds I grace in front of your eyes; because you have consoled to me, and because you have spoken to the heart of your servant, although I am not nor like one of your servants.
I am not like one of your servants: it is, I am wild branch and you graft your me in the good olive tree, to put it another way: I am gentile but I am accepted like spiritual Jewish soul in the spiritual town of God. It has let to its father and mother and earth to look for the Gentleman. You have spoken to the heart of your servant, that is what the Good Shepherd does, and the good shepherds sent by God.
14Y Booz said to him at the time of eating: They see here, and it eats of the bread, and it wets your mouthful in the vinegar. And it sat down next to the harvesters, and it gave him of the soup, and ate until he was satiated, and he exceeded to him.
Booz is also that one that from God it gives him to eat the Word of God. It is invited to enter in private of the Gentleman like Santa Cena. And it, this soul done daughter of God, feels with the harvesters, is a paragraph of great symbolism, we see that the harvesters are those that will pick up seedtime of the apostles and the same apostles. She gave him of the soup, remembers the soup of the primogenitura that Jacob de Esaú obtained, despised who it. She is then: you satiate of blessings this soul.
15Luego rose to form ears. And Booz commanded to its servants, saying: That it also gathers ears between the sheaves, and not you shame it; 16y you will also drop for her something of the handfuls, you will leave and it gathers so that it, and you do not reprimand it. 17Espigó, then, in the field until the night, and shelled what it had gathered, and was like a barley EFA.
Rut is already a determined soul to serve the Gentleman and it rises to form ears. The servants are well-educated to receive to Rut in the harvest, so that he is allowed to him to gather with which they are of the town of God; also we see here a similarity with the text of Pedro and the linen cloth, when the Gentleman says to him that the Gentile ones that He has cleaned they are accepted.
To drop for her: that the knowledge does his of the Word of the Gentleman and can do hers the revelations and knowledge to others, later to gather the fruit in the soul-earth-field of those whose souls are engaged earth also and where, by the seed of the Gospel, is going away to glean grain like spiritual fruit. You do not reprimand it, is that there are still some brothers as much in Israel as in the Church there are since them in the religions that impose estatus of old age and deny to Rut that is part of the body of Christ, because it belongs to whom have been satiated of the Word and the knowledge.
A barley EFA is the ration of spiritual knowledge that a soul can assimilate for its personal growth like disciple of Christ.
it took 18Y it, and one went to the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gathered. It also removed soon what it had exceeded to him after to have been satiated, and occurred it.
Just as in the repartimiento of breads and the fish with the Gentleman, also 12 baskets exceeded full after being satiated the town. This is the abundance of the Word of God, that satiates our soul and causes that we satiate to the others.
19Y said its mother-in-law to him: Where you have formed ears today? and where you have worked? Blessed he is the one that has recognized to you. And she told to her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said: The name of the man with who today I have worked is Booz. 20Y said Noemí to its daughter-in-law: He of Yahweh is blessed, since he has not refused to alive the benevolence that he had towards that they have died. Later Noemí said to him: Our relative is that one man, and one of whom can redeem to us.
Blessed the one that has recognized to you, the one that sees you like son of God if you are like Rut.
Our relative is our Father, He can redeem to us finally, but there is another one has the right before, that is to say, the religion of birth of each has the first option on our souls, and propose .redemption systems that are not acceptable before God, or by own works and merits, or by the cult to Gods and idols, rituals, sacrifices, etc. Rut, the soul at issue resignation to these systems and recognizes that only there is a redeeming one for the humanity, Jesus Christ in its redeeming work in the Cross. The Blood of Christ is the one that redeems, its life in pleasant sacrifice to God, because the freedom of the sin and the eternal death is the unique payment accepted by God for daros. Any other option is antichrist, is not accepted by God like payment by the life of the man. We will see is been but ahead in the text.
21Y Rut the moabita said: Besides this has said to me: Júntate with my servants, until they have finished all my harvest. 22Y Noemí responded to Rut its daughter-in-law: Better it is, daughter mine, that you leave with its servants, and who do not find you in another field. 23Estuvo, then, along with the servants of Booz forming ears, until one finished to the harvest of the barley and the one of the wheat; and it lived with its mother-in-law.
One is not in another field: you one is not gathering religious fruits, of another doctrine. We are then with the servants of the Gentleman until the harvest finishes. We gather to that they have grown with the seed of the Gospel until the Gentleman comes.
Rut is called to the preaching to gather or to form ears, to that they are barley or wheat already grown, also symbolizes to those in which the Word has been implanted with faith, and when harvesting the fruit can make the bread of the Gentleman, the well-worn Word, as Jesus Christ commanded: … escudriñad the Scriptures… Juan 5:39. In her we will find the alive Gentleman, yes, the Word of God he is alive same Christ, it is alive Word, the mind of God reveals us to our mind.
CHAPTER 3
1Después said its Noemí mother-in-law to him: Daughter mine, I do not have to look for home for you, so that it goes to you well? 2Is not Booz our relative, with whose servants you have been? There am him throws tonight the stack of the barleys here. 3Te you will wash, then, and you will anoint yourself, and vistiéndote your dresses, you will go to the era; but you will not occur to know the man until it has finished eating and to drink. 4Y when he lies down, you will notice the place where one lies down, and will go and discover its feet, and you will lie down there; and he will say to you what there are to do. 5Y she responded: I will do everything what you command to me.
The stack of the barleys throws, is the situation of the fruit after the harvest, this symbolizes the soul that is promised earth, where by to have given to God growth to similla of the Gospel, the person has believed and knows the Gentleman. You will wash yourself, in the blood of Christ, you will anoint with the Spirit Santo and you will get dressed the dresses the sanctity, targets.
You will not occur to know, is that you will not appear to God in your old man, but, as the Teacher asks to us, you will detest yourself same.
You will discover its feet is to discover the Gospel and the love of God, reason why already the person rests who lies down thus. It is then when He will say to you what you must do because “… your you will ask to me and I will teach to you…” the Gentleman says. And finally the determination del that it is born again: I will do what your you command to me.
6Descendió, then, to the era, and did everything what her mother-in-law had commanded to him. 7Y when Booz had eaten and drunk, and its heart was contented, retired to sleep to a side of the pile. Then it came calladamente, and she discovered the feet to him and she lay down. 8Y occurred that to the midnight that one man shook, and became; and I have here, a woman was laid down to its feet.
To the midnight it is during the era of the humanity, where still there is the dark, where not yet the kingdom has come from God. A woman on their feet, we are who we come to look for the Gentleman to be on its feet.
9Entonces he said: Who you are? And it responded: I am Rut your servant; he extends the edge of your layer on your servant, inasmuch as you are close relative.
He extends the edge of your layer, he is that the Gentleman with his cover covers to us, and all blessings that entails.
10Y he said: Blessed you of Yahweh are, daughter mine; you have made your rearward kindness better than first, not going in search of the young people, they are poor or rich.
Blessed of Yahweh the soul from which comes to the Gentleman, children of God are called by the faith in Jesus, and its rearward kindness, that is to say, to surrender on the feet of the Gentleman, is better than first than it was the preaching and acceptance of the Christian ministry.
The children of God, do not look for the young people, those that trust the world are poor or rich, but look for the Old one of days, to the Father of the spirits.
11Ahora then, nonsubjects, daughter mine; I will do with you what you say, because all the people of my town know that you are virtuous woman. 12Y now, although is certain that I am close relative, that is relative nearer yet than I. 13Pasa the night, and when it is by day, if it redeems to you here, well, redímate; but if it will not want to you to redeem, I will redeem to you, lives Yahweh. He rests, then, until the morning. 14Y after it slept on its feet until the morning, rose before the men could be clear an a others; because he said: One does not know that woman came to the era. 15Después said to him: Quítate the mantle that you bring on you, and tenlo. And having it, he measured six measures of barley, and she put them above; and it went to the city.
Nonsubjects,… you do not fear, I I am… virtuous woman, virtue soul, that strives in expiring to itself to please to the Gentleman. I am close relative: it is that God always is to the door of the souls, but cannot redeem until the person is faced their religion of birth (the near relative but) and the doctrine of this one, says if this soul is its disciple or no. This determines when the person at issue directly puts in front to Christ and the Word of God to all the tradition and religion that have taught to him and because it does not correspond with the Truth.
Before the men can be clear, still there is the dark, he is in our life, before the great day of the Gentleman, in the final judgment, then the men will be clear and see as they are really.
6 measures of barley, are that not yet the harvest has finished, still will arrive at 7, when she is complete in his spiritual growth that we will see at the end of this study.
16Y when it arrived at where she was its mother-in-law, this one said to him: What has, daughter mine? And she to him told everything what with that one man she had occurred to him. 17Y said: These six measures of barley gave, saying me to me: In order that you do not go to your mother-in-law with the empty hands. 18Entonces Noemí said: Espérate, daughter mine, until you know how the subject is solved; because that one man will not rest until he concludes the subject today.
He told everything him what he occurred to him in his relation with the Gentleman: it is two brothers that share the wonders of the Highest one. The mother-in-law eats now of the hand of Rut, as the Christians bring their experiences to which they have served to them in his spiritual growth.
That one man will not rest, is that God does not leave its subjects with the man pending, nor is going away to rest of him until has been formed, if the man wants.
CHAPTER 4
1Booz raised the door and it sat down there; and I have passed that one relative here of whom Booz had spoken, and it said to him: Eh, fulano, see and siéntate here. And it came and he sat down. 2Entonces he took to ten men from the old ones from the city, and said: Sentaos here. And they sat down.
The old ones are congregated, these symbolize but the wise ones, spiritually to the congregation of the Gentleman, that meet the different ethnic groups and doctrines from religion, besides the subjects of the life. 10 also are a number that denotes perfection, all that there are wise with wisdom of God.
3Luego said to the relative: Noemí, that has returned from the field of Moab, sells a part of the earth that had our Elimelec brother. 4Y I decided hacértelo to know, and decirte you buy that it in the presence of which here they are seated, and of the old ones of my town. If you want to redeem, redeems; and if you do not want to redeem, decláramelo so that know I it; because it does not have another one redeems but you, and I after you. And it responded: I will redeem.
A part of the Earth, is the part of the late husband of Rut, the old man of our soul, our meat already denied to please to God, the one that redeems must accept that those that were not of the original town, but that are had sorry, they are acceptable to the Gentleman.
The man at issue hurries by the Earth of Noemí because he is of his town, of his religion. When it knows what implies, stops.
5Entonces talked back Booz: The same day that you buy territories of hand of Noemí, you must also take to Rut the moabita, woman of the deceased, so that you recover the name of the dead on its possession. 6Y responded the relative: I cannot redeem for me, is not that it damages my you inherit. You redeem, using of my right, because I will not be able to redeem. 7Había already a long time ago this custom in Israel concerning the .redemption and to the contract, that the confirmation of any business stops, the one took off the shoe and it gave his companion; and this served as testimony in Israel. 8Entonces the relative said to Booz: Tómalo you. And the shoe took off.
It does not please to the religion to redeem to which without his law and its traditions, they can be redeemed without works, that is to say by the Blood of Christ. It is excused saying that it can damage his you inherit. It is trenched the subject with the .redemption of Booz by hand.
9Y Booz said to the old ones and all the town: You are witnesses today, of which I have acquired of hand of Noemí everything what was of Elimelec, and everything what was of Quelión and Mahlón. 10Y that also volume by my woman to Rut the moabita, woman of Mahlón, to recover the name of the late one on his you inherit, so that the name of the dead does not erase among its brothers and of the door of its place. You are witnesses today.
Taking then to Rut, accepts to marry with that has left to its earth and its relations, just as Abraham. The name of its husband is recovered, symbolizing the recognition to the person in its effort of delivery to God, in the negation to itself, blessing in the inheritance, this life and the sky, recognition of the Earth existence of a soul of God, in which they love God.
11Y said all the of the town that were to the door with the old ones: Witnesses we are. Yahweh makes the woman who enters your house as to Raquel and to She reads, which built the house of Israel; and you are illustrious in Efrata, and are of reputation in Bethlehem. 12Y is your house like the house of Fares, the one that Tamar gave light to Judá, by the descendants that of that young one give Yahweh you. 13Booz, then, took to Rut, and she was his wife; and it was arrived at her, and Yahweh gave him that it conceived and gave to light a son.
The old ones seeing the determination approve that the Gentleman, represented here by Booz, brings like wife to this soul that has believed in Him. They give his blessing as to Raquel and Lea and include to Rut in the construction of the house of Israel, in fact by her king David in the branch will come from Judá from which the Gentleman came. In addition Booz is blessed in Bethlehem, Efrata, the city of King of kings. It is prophecy that is fulfilled in Yahshua de Nazaret, been born in Bethlehem.
The blessing does not take in coming and conceives a son, whom it symbolizes to Christ in his soul, born from Booz, symbolism of the Gentleman, our husband.
14Y the women said to Noemí: Loado is Yahweh, that caused that you today did not need relative, whose name will be celebrated in Israel; 15el what will be restaurador of your soul, and will sustain your oldness; then your daughter-in-law, whom she loves to you has given, it to light; and it is of more value for you than seven children. 16Y taking Noemí the son put, it in its lap, and was his aya. 17Y gave to name the neighbors him, saying: A son to Noemí has been born him; and they called Obed. This he is father of Isaí, father of David.
The women are the souls of the brothers in the faith that are glad they animate and us in the Gentleman. The relative is our husband, God, the restaurador of our soul in Christ and will sustain our oldness, spiritual old age, until He comes. To the being new disciple our S-value major that the one of seven children whom they do not love the Father. Obed becomes grandfathers of king David and enters the ancestry from which the Mesías would come.
18Estas is the generations of Fares: Fares generated to Hezrón, 19Hezrón generated to ram, and ram generated to Aminadab, 20Aminadab generated to Naasón, and Naasón generated Salmon, 21Salmón generated to Booz, and Booz generated to Obed, 22Obed generated to Isaí, and Isaí generated to David.
This is any more and nothing less than the blessing of the souls that let to their earth and its relations and its religion to be united to the alive God. The reward is to comprise of the inheritance and the ancestry of the town of God. A nation of kings and priests for God Its Father, has bought the Mesías with Its blood. 1Pedro 2:9.
You also are called to you inherit of the nation santa, by the wedding with the Gentleman to who all we are invited, to be like Rut, the wife who falls in love and determines to give itself to her God. Gloria to the Gentleman, God of Israel, spiritual Israel del that we comprised. Its coming are close, do not separate neither to right nor to left and participate in the harvest, to obtain the seed of the Bread of God, like Rut, because with this alive Bread many souls it is necessary to gather because that seed gives the growth them in its souls and turns the man into disciple, because… the faith is by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Romans 10:17. We serve then the brothers so that they come to the weddings of the redeeming Lamb, the one that redeems to us with Its blood, because it has the right and because it loves to us. Amen.
