Some time ago Elisa led us in conversations about "tables" and how certain mealtimes moved the story of the Bible forward. For these two weeks Bill wants the group to consider the opposite—how famines (or the lack of food) was a catalyst for biblical events and a force for change in the lives of the characters of the Scriptures.Receive As we ponder why God allowed His people throughout Scripture to experience famines, we can see that God was still working to draw them closer to Him. God is at work in our life as well. When we face hardships and difficulties in our life, let's remember that God is near. How does reading about how God provided for men and women throughout the Bible help remind you that He is faithful to help you through any trial you may face? What could drawing closer to God even during difficulties look like for you? Reflect Why did God allow someone as faithful as the prophet Elijah to suffer through a famine as we read in 1 Kings 18:2? During famines, how did God provide for Elijah in 1 Kings 17:7–11 and Elisha in 2 Kings 4:38– 41? Why did the four men with leprosy mentioned in 2 Kings 7:3–5 respond to the famine the way they did? Why did Jesus mention a famine in His parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15:14? Based on Romans 8:35, not even famine can separate us from God's love. How does knowing that truth encourage you during difficult times? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You that You love me and provide for me even during the most difficult times. Please help me to draw closer to You, even when I'm experiencing a famine or lack in my life. Help me to trust Your unending goodness, grace, and mercy.” Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Joseph by Bill Crowder Tables in the Story of God Week 1 Tables in the Story of God Week 2 The Book of Naomi The Gospel of Ruth Inseparable God Is At Work—The Story of Ruth Part 1—The Worst of Times Listen: The Miraculous life of Elisha | Part 1 The Miraculous Life of Elisha--Part 2 Read: Faithful to the Faithful: 2 Kings 4 Why Should I Trust God?

After reviewing the first three parts, we see in part 4 how a poor, righteous convert with every possible social disadvantage becomes the matriarch of kings and the Messianic Dynasty. Ruth teaches that we all have the potential for greatness.
Nothing in Hollywood can match the suspense in Chapter 3 of the Book of Ruth. In case you've just joined our 4-part lesson, don't worry. We begin with a review of Chapters One and Two. This eye-opening lesson elaborates on a number of significant topics, such as Moshiach, shidduchim, the Laws of Conversion, levirate marriage, charity and the laws pertaining to the Land of Israel.

The Zohar teaches that where there is a lack of compassion, stern judgment takes over and spills the blood of Moshiach. When the Israelites entered the Land of Israel after 210 years of slavery in Egypt and another forty years of wandering in the desert, they were preoccupied with establishing their own estates. They forgot about compassion, one of Torah's principal requirements of them. Ruth's mission on earth was to bring Chesed, or compassion, back to Israel, and with it to bring Moshiach. Therefore, Ruth is not only the great-grandmother of Moshiach but the key to the rectification of the entire world.

Learning the Book of Ruth is a superb preparation for the imminent coming of Moshiach. The monumental example of Ruth and her lineage show us the extreme efforts that the Almighty makes in order bring Moshiach. The forces of evil do everything in their power to prevent Moshiach's arrival. Today's lesson introduces us to the Book of Ruth and its background and covers Chapter One.

Ruth 4:13–22 brings the story of hope to its fulfillment as God turns promise intoprovision. What began with emptiness ends with fullness, as Naomi holds a child andthe future of redemption is secured. This passage reminds us that what God promises,He always provides—sometimes in ways larger and longer than we can imagine. Thestory of Ruth ends with a child named Obed, but it points us forward to a Savior namedJesus, the ultimate fulfillment of God's redeeming promises.
Redemption moves from promise to action when someone willingly steps forward torestore what was lost and provide lasting hope. True redemption is never hidden,cheap, or partial—it is costly, public, and complete. This moment gives us a glimpse ofthe greater redemption God would one day accomplish through Jesus.
Hope often requires waiting, even when we don't know how things will turn out. Truepatience isn't passive—it's trusting that God is already at work and that His timing isperfect. In learning to wait faithfully, we discover that hope grows stronger and God'splans unfold exactly as He intends.
We're concluding our short series on the relationship between God and man, we've learned how the Bible describes God's relationship with Israel as a marriage, and we've learned about the ancient Jewish wedding where we could see clearly Jesus and His future Bride, and we're about to finish our time in the book of Ruth, which gives us a picture of Israel with a broken marriage relationship being restored, with the acceptance of a Gentile bride and a Jewish redeemer.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
