JCS Ballet Academy presents:
“Ruth: God’s Redeeming Power”
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus…" Rom. 3:23–24
The story starts outside of Bethlehem (1:1), Moab, Israel’s enduring enemy, located east of the Dead Sea.
This country originated when Lot became the father of Moab through an incestuous union with his eldest
daughter (Gn. 19:37). Centuries later, the Jews encountered opposition from Balak, king of Moab, through
the prophet Balaam (Nm. 22–25).
For eighteen years, Moab oppressed Israel during the time of the judges (3:12–30). Saul defeated the
Moabites (1 Sam. 14:47), while David seemed to enjoy a peaceful relationship with them (1 Sam. 22:3,
4). Later, Moab again troubled Israel (2 Kings 3:5-27; Ez 9:1).
Because of Moab's idolatrous relationship with Chemosh (1 Kings 11:7, 33; 2 Kings 23:13) and its
opposition to Israel, God cursed Moab (Is. 15:16; Jer. 48; Ez. 25:8-11; Am. 2:1-3). The story of Ruth
occurred "in the days when the judges ruled" Israel, and thus serves as a bridge from the judges to
Israel's monarchy.
God used "a famine in the land" of Judah to initiate this beautiful drama, although the famine is not
mentioned in Judges, which causes difficulty in trying to date the events of Ruth. However, counting
backward from the well-known date of David's reign (1011-971 BC), Ruth's time period would most likely
be during Jair's reign, around 1126-1105 BC.
Ruth covers about eleven or twelve years according to the following scenario: first 1:1-18, ten years in
Moab (1:4); second, 1:19-2:23, several months (mid-April to mid-June) in the field of Boaz (1:22; 2:23);
third, 3:1-18, one day in Bethlehem and one night on the threshing floor; and fourth, 4:1-22, about a year
in Bethlehem.
In Ruth, we can appreciate that redemption for Jews and Gentiles, that both men and women are co-heirs
with men of God's saving grace, shows us the characteristics of the virtuous woman and the right of
David (and, therefore, of Christ) to the throne of Israel.
