The love story of Ruth and Boaz is a beautiful portrait of Jesus Christ's love for the church.

Ruth the pagan is now under the wings of Jehovah God because she has a kinsman Redeemer,

land of Israel a law called the law of the kinsman Redeemer. If a man were to die and he did not have

children and he perhaps had gone into bankruptcy and lost his estate, near kinsman, according to the law of the kinsman redeemer, somebody related

to him could come and redeem that estate that had gone into bankruptcy. That is, he could buy
