Excerpt
The book of Ruth was recorded in the Bible especially for our time today. It is far more important than we would tend to think.
The book of Ruth begins, “Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled …” (Ruth 1:1). Her story occurs during the period of Israel’s judges. The book of Judges is part of what is known as the former prophets, which is definitely prophecy for our day. (Request a free copy of my book The Former Prophets: How to Become a King to learn just how relevant these prophetic books are.) In the time of the judges, Israel was very evil and corrupt—a time much like our own.
Because Ruth’s account takes place during that period, you could conclude just logically that this book is also primarily for this end time.
Notice Judges 21:25: “In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” There was no king in Israel at the time. Judges is the bloodiest book in the Bible. Israel, generally, would not seek direction from the judges. “[E]very man did that which was right in his own eyes.”
Israel’s ultimate hope is in the Second Coming and our marriage to Jesus Christ. Those firstfruits who get ready for that wedding will share David’s throne with the King of kings.
