Ruth Chapter 4 - Boaz & Ruth marry, Naomi's land is redeemed, family tree - Judah to David confirmed

Fleet footed Boaz is busy in this chapter. He deals with the nearer kinsman, redeems Naomi's land, in the site of 10 elders (and the people of Bethlehem), & most important of all, he claims Ruth proudly as his bride. He & Ruth have a child, whom the women of Bethlehem name Obed. And we get the full connection of the family tree from Judah to king David. What the law excluded, grace overcame.

We also uncover the deeper prophetic truths hidden below the surface of the story line. The kinsman redeemer (Boaz) is a type of Christ, the one who was willing and able to redeem us. The nearer kinsman is a type of the Law, who had no love for us or no power to redeem us. Naomi is a type of Israel, the un-named servant is a type of the Holy Spirit, & the reapers are a type of the angels. The threshing floor scene is a type of the great tribulation, the time period after which, the land is restored to Israel (Naomi).
