Conclusion of the book of Ruth:

• This book is a small one with only four chapters!
• But there is a lot to remember!
• We are told about a simple story!
• It’s strange why the majority sees the Bible as the history of a chosen people!
• I see the Bible as the history of exceptions!
• Few faithful servants of Yah.weh who transmit the flame of faithfulness through generations among the darkness of corruption!
• It’s probably because corruption is everywhere and thus faithfulness doesn’t mean a lot today!
• But here we have a summary of the Bible!
• A minority of people who have a part of Jesus’ genealogy because of their faithfulness!
• And more exceptional is Ruth because she is not an Israelite but a foreigner!
• RUTH!
• NAOMI!
• BOAZ!

YOU WILL SURELY DIE

Someone says:

that we sin and die was made clear in Genesis everyone sins and everyone dies of course we don't die we go to sleep awaiting the resurrection when Christ returns.

My answer:


- You speak about Genesis 3:19!

- But not about Genesis 2:17!

- Here we are told about Adam and Eve who were perfect!

- They could have lived forever on the earth!

- But they rejected Yah.weh when they disobeyed him!

- They could do everything except one thing representing Yah.weh’s authority!

- By rejecting and disobeying Yah.weh, they lost the privilege to live forever and started to die!

- It is the same about the devil and the demons!

- They were perfect!

- They rejected and disobeyed Yah.weh!

- They are waiting for their destruction!
