Well shoot, I was looking forward to tim finishing the gospel in every book of the bible series. Rest in peace brother
Ruth leaving her family to be with God reminded me of
Luke 14:16
“If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.”
She left everything behind to be with Noami instead of her own family.
I am still a new Christian and dont know a whole lot, but tbh I'm gonna start watching more of this because it really helps. God Bless you all, and have a blessed night. ❤️
Tim Keller is a trustworthy and easy-to-understand pastor. I recommend him.
I listened to Tim's lecture in 2000. And become a believer in 2002.
Still a new believer here. So many to learn.
And still looking forward to Tim's new talk.
God Bless you. You are in the right place. I had the privilege of being a member in Tim Kellers church, and went to Q&A after service and he was always ready and willing to help you find the answer. God be with you in your walk with God.
@@Jocky8807 Likewise, friend. God bless you and thank you for sharing.
God bless you. May the Lord continue to grant you His knowledge, wisdom and peace through the Holy Spirit. Not sure how you came to faith in Jesus Christ, but here's a Bible verse to memorize as you will be on mission to share the Gospel with others who don't know Jesus Christ:
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16 NASB1995
Be well and be at peace.
RIP Tim Keller🙏🏽♥️
I totally agree that Ruth should not be read as a "moralistic" story, but it is SUCH a breath of fresh air after reading through Judges! After reading Judges, I felt dirty, but the faithfulness displayed in Ruth was a salve to the soul.
As an aside, it seems the contrast between the end of Judges (i.e. the story of the Benjaminites, the ancestors of Saul) and Ruth (with the ancestors of David) may have been a subtle political commentary.
Thank you for being obedient to God! God continues to speak through you Tim!
Tim has brought my faith too another level. Thank you for all the free content
How is Tim’s health?
Thanks for all, brother Tim.
My prayers are with you 🙏
Regards from Brazil
This is a good question...I also care greatly for Mr Keller's physical shape.
Yes I wonder about his health too. Praying he's doing well
God continues to use him greatly
Thanks Tim
한국에서 감사의 말씀을 전합니다! (I express my gratitude from Korea!!)
Thank you for these lessons. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank You God. And thank you Mr. Keller.
I am truly thankful for Tim’s dedication and messages. ❤
It’s such an important thing to tie in each book of the Bible with the whole story as he has. He fits it in with the larger story line. I love the story of Ruth and Naomi -I had just read it earlier this week - but hadn’t seen the connection with the gospel of Christ until this morning! This is why I believe the promise that says God‘s mercies are new every morning! So, as I woke up, I was feeling sad for wasting my life and my self for so many years, but then I got down on my knees, and declared to the Lord, You are my redeemer and I know you will continue to redeem my life. And the beautiful part is, this was before I listen to Tim’s talk.
I love this! I love to find the Gospel in every book of the Bible! I am so glad that his teachings still live on. This is helpful to me as I am creating a Bible study video series on the book of Ruth.
Good day, Tim Keller. What a phenomenal series you have given to us all. Truly, God wants us to have a true understanding of His word. Pastor Keller, thank you for obeying what God has placed in your heart. To help us ALL recognize the face of God when we see it. God bless you. Warm thoughts I send your way, Raquel 🙋🏻♀️🙏📖🐑❤️🕊
I really appreciate this! This brings charity after I’ve reading a book of the Bible. I can’t wait to dive into your other videos. Thank you!!
Thank you, Tim, for your ministry. You have deeply impacted my and I and helped us love Jesus more. Praying these videos go forward.
So thankful for these! Thank you pastor Tim!
Jesus is the only one who is both kin to man and kin to God!
Excellent. Thank you!🙏♥️🙏
@GospelinLife916 Get behind me Satan! Repent from your scamming ways. God is watching you! 🙏😊🙏
Excellent insights and overview of the book of Ruth. Wonderful series. So looking forward to when the next book hits the web!
Very well done and encouraging. Thank you Pastor Tim.
Tim, its Cynthia Pillow (Alcott). I sure love you.
Great teaching 👏🏽
I love this series 🥳🥳
Thank you for this huge insight. I really didn’t see that gentile redemption theme clearly until now
I really look forward to these teachings and videos
Love this series.
Não só Noemi e Rute precisavam de redenção, mas toda a nação de Israel (ver como termina o livro de juízes, não havia rei) "nao vai funcionar enquanto não tivermos um rei". O livro de rute mostra como Deus preparou o caminho para esse rei
Wow. I am reading the whole Bible from the beginning and never knew that the story of Ruth is the story of Jesus being the redeemer of Satan's evil poison in this world.
But death has no sting Mr Satan. Your days are numbered and time is near 🎉😎⌛✝️🙏🥳
I thought the first child or son belongs to the prior husband. If it was all of the children it would be in essence that the new husband would have no heirs.
Another thought came to me this morning as I was reading Ruth: It is interesting to note that Jesus is considered as having come from the line of Boaz (Matt. 1:5) rather than the line of Mahlon (Ruth's first husband). In a sense, it isn't a big issue, since Boaz was a kinsman-redeemer (i.e. a relative), but had the Levirate customs had been followed strictly, Obed would have been considered Mahlon's son, to carry on his name.
In Ruth we have a clever little love story, accompanied by some few mishaps, but followed by the usual consummation - wedlock.
Elimelech (El is my king) = Aries during summer), a man of Beth-lehem-Judah (spring), having wed Naomi (summer) and got two sons by her, sets out with his family for Moab (winter). Elimelech (summer) soon died, and his sons Mahlon cave-Sun = summer) and Chilion (pining-away = winter) took them wives of the daughters of Moab. Orpah (fawn = Virgo in winter) and Ruth (female friend - Virgo in summer). The two sons died in turn, and without issue. The poor widow Naomi, finding hard fare in Moab, and hearing that the Lord had given his people bread (harvest of spring), set out on her return to the land of Judah (spring) with her two daughters- in-law (vs. 7). As they proceeded on their way, Naomi requested her daughters-in-law to return each to her mother's house, hoping that by so doing each might " rest in the house of her husband " (vs. 9). However, they continued to follow the old lady, as if they thought she would yet furnish them with other husbands; at least: the mother-in-law seemed to think that was their object. However, at the last moment (i.e., at the spring equinox), Orpah yielded to the request of Naomi, but Ruth (Virgo in summer) stuck by her, saying: "Where thou diest, will I die" (vs. 17), i.e., at the end of summer. So, the two came to Beth-lehem (spring harvest), when the people inquired: "Is this Naomi?" She replied: " Call me not Naomi (summer), but Mara (bitter = winter); for I went out (of summer) full, but the Lord hath brought me back empty " (vs. 21).
Naomi now, by her request, permits her daughter-in-law, Ruth (Virgo in summer), to go to the field of her kinsman Boaz (constellation Bootes), in whose sight, she was persuaded, she should find grace. Of course, she had a right to think her beauty would soon attract the attention of her kinsman, and she was right. Boaz told her " to abide fast by his maidens, and charged his young men not to touch her" (vs. 9). Ruth acknowledged her obligation to him, by falling on her face (Virgo sets head first) to the ground. Meanwhile the courtship went on until Ruth, by the advice of her mother-in- law, who understood all about such matters, cleaned herself up, put on her night clothes (3.3), and, when Boaz had got sufficiently fuddled and gone to bed, she came softly to where he lay, uncovered his feet, and got into bed with her lover (v. 7). Boaz, being merry, was in the proper mood, as the old mother had foreseen, to get into the trap thus set for him.
During the night, on coming to a little, he turned over and found a woman in bed with him. Of course, he was greatly frightened, and called out: " Who art thou? "The poor lonely, longing young widow, as much scared as he, answered: "I am Ruth, spread thy skirt over me "(3.9). At this Boaz was as much tickled as he was scared at first; for Ruth now showed him more kindness than she did at first (3.10). "I will do to thee all that thou requirest,"said he; for everybody knows that thou art a virtuous woman (vs. 11). There is another, said he, nearer than I, who ought to do the part of a kinsman; but never mind; "lie down until the morning" (3. 13). She did as request, "and rose up before one could know another." Boaz, as she departed, strictly charged her to tell nobody that she had slept with him over night, and gave her six measures of barley in part compensation for her company (3. 17).
Boaz next went to the gate (the eastern horizon), where he met the kinsman (Aries setting) whom he had spoken of to the young widow. Inviting him to sit down, he told him of the inheritance left by Elimelech, his brother. "The kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance; redeem thou my right to thyself" (4. 6) - Winter could not become summer. So, Boaz redeemed it for himself, had the bargain ratified after the usual way, and took Ruth for (servant) by name = the Redeemer = Christ = the summer Sun!
The curious reader will look on the celestial globe, where he will see Ruth (Virgo) going to bed, i.e., setting at the feet of Boaz, or Bootes, the ox-driver, otherwise called Arcto-phy-lax, or the Bear-driver, in allusion to Ursa major, directly west of him. See Job 38, Arcturus.
Tim I love everything you say, BUT, it's not NY-omi, it's Naomi. I have a daughter named nA-O-Mi. Be kind to all the true Naomis of the world.
It’s pronounced in Hebrew the way he is saying it🙂
