Chapters three and four become more about Boaz then Ruth…
All rests in his hands.
Maybe he was more willing to accept a Moabite woman because of his mother?
Boaz: In him there is might - Strength
Solomon Temple has a pillar named Boaz (Solomon - great, great, grandson)
Of the tribe of Judah
ruth3.1-
Verse 1- shall I not seek rest for thee
Shall I not find a home for thee
My daughter, do not I seek for thee rest, that it may be well with thee?
Naomi felt responsible for her for the first time...
Before it was leave me alone...
Rather selfish, wounded view of everything - but now faith and hope has changed her perspective!
Verse 2: Confusing word — Winnow scatter, fan, winnow (Arabic ذَرَا (ḏarā) cause to fly, scatter (of wind
scatter, fan, winnow (Arabic ذَرَا (ḏarā) cause to fly, scatter (of wind
Part of the process of separating the husk from the grain by tossing the bruised grain into the air and the stubble or chafe is blown away.
This husk or chaff was referred through throughout the scripture.
Plan develops
Process that Ruth goes through:
Wash herself
While cleanliness is next to godliness is not a verse in the Bible, it is there in principle!
BAPTISM
Put of new cloths
Change cloths indicates a change of life
She was embracing the promise of chapter one.
I am no longer a widow - not allowing her situation to define her!
I am pursuing something greater
REPENTANCE
Wait till the
Submit herself
ONLY POSITION ONE CAN TAKE TO RECEIVE WHAT THE REDEEMER HAS TO GIVE!
HOLY GHOST
Why the uncovering of the feet?
Laying at his feet?
Was their something sexual going on?
No forced air heaters
No fire in the barn (the chaff was extremely flammable)
Often a servant slept at the foot of the bed to provide warmth for the master’s feet.
Place of complete submission!
According to law, Boaz could have done what he wanted with her…
Turned her out publicly at that moment - embarrassing her
Allowed it to become sexual
Or did what he did as an honorable man
Mosaic Law: if a man became involved with a servant, captive or “stranger”/foreigner - to reject her in the morning was a long, expensive and embarrassing process with the end result being he was resoncible for her.
God’s way of making men think...
So Ruth and Naomi were taken care of no matter what…
Sound bad?
So Ruth put herself in that position?
Look closer: When you chose to submit, you willfully choose to make yourself vulnerable to another!
You are placing yourself in the position to be taken advantage of, hurt by and even abused!
REMEMBER, Boaz was a type of Christ...
He could have let us die in our sins!
But he didn’t!
Submission and vulnerability are not things that we can just jump into -
Naomi knew him...
Ruth had got to know him...
Then she made herself vulnerable to him!
THE ONLY WAY WE CAN RECEIVE REDEMPTION IS TO SUBMIT AND MAKE OURSELVES VULNERABLE!
vs6- Just like faith without works is dead being along...
Submission without obedience is dead being alone!
Your’e not submitted until you obey!
You prove your submission though your obedience.
Timing:
Timing: Let’s wait until the conditions are perfect!
Then I will approach him...
Timing is everything!
spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman
v9 - Spread your skirt over me for you are a relative...
Skirt = wing, covering, protection, warmth
Remember: 2:12 Boaz had almost prophesied this moment using similar language
She was asking a physical question, based in a righteous principle!
Warm me with the corners of your blanket because you are a relative!
I have a right and you have an obligation!
vs11 - I will fulfill my duty because you are a virtuous woman.
Virtuous = purity, morality, industry
Much of Proverbs could have been written with Ruth in mind...
vs10 - Boaz was much older than Ruth…
ruth
There is always a problem!
There is always a solution!
v14 - he protected her honor
Watch the progression of the Blessing of God
Start with corners...
Move to handfuls...
Then Handfuls on purpose...
Now she is taking six measures
Now she is taking more home with her then she can carry!
Over 60 lbs of grain!
ruth3.
18 She replied, “Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest but will settle the matter today.”
Boaz won’t stop until the matter is resolved!
Once Ruth’s intentions were made clear, there was no stopping Boaz!
Boaz the Redeemer vs Jesus the Redeemer

So when the Ruth’s and Naomi’s of this world prepare themselves through repentance and water baptism...
…Holy Ghost
