A Nation of Ruth's ....Part X

So the relationship of Boaz (Messiah) and Ruth (the true Church) produces an offspring of service to God that becomes the continuation of Naomi’s very name, family line, and heritage in Abraham’s covenant ‒ which was in jeopardy of being extinguished for the lack of an heir.

The Obed ‒symbolically, service to God, borne by Ruth ‒ restores the lineage of
Naomi (Israel) who has literally come to life. Naomi has her calling restored.

Ruth is better to Naomi than what seven sons could produce in heirs for her, for Ruth has given Naomi a reintroduction through Obed to Boaz (Messiah). Salvation comes to Naomi (Israel) through the seed (Obed) of the calling of service to God and grace of Boaz (Messiah) given to and through Ruth (the true Church).

And now for the best part:

And Naomi took the and laid it in her bosom and BECAME NURSE TO IT. And Naomi’s neighbours gave the a name, saying, There is a born to Naomi, and they called his name Obed. (Ruth 4:16-17)

God is supernaturally grafting Israel back into her calling through Ruth’s love. And all Israel approves.

Naomi became nurse to Boaz and Ruth’s ! The neighbours even say the is born to her. Hallelujah! God is awesome! Through the
Church, Israel is saved and has God as her husband again. The service of the Church
to Naomi, through God’s grace, even allows Naomi to become ‘nurse’ to Obed.

Naomi, an aging woman who was too old to glean with Ruth in Boaz’s fields, surely without milk in her breasts (having only two grown sons long
deceased), is miraculously able to nurse a . Obed is not nursed to health from sickness, but wet-nursed by Naomi, who has become as vibrant as if she herself had given birth to Obed. And the other women say, ‘ a
is born to Naomi.’
