Episode Synopsis

Ruth, a Moabitess, is a pivotal figure in the lineage of Yehoshua Messiah. While she might seem like an unlikely candidate for inclusion in the Messiah's genealogy, her story is a remarkable demonstration of the Mighty One's sovereignty and favour.

How does Ruth, a Moabitess, fit into the picture of the Messiah's lineage? Ruth, marries Boaz, a descendant of Judah. Their son, Obed, becomes the father of Jesse, and Jesse is the father of King David. This lineage is meticulously traced in the book of Ruth and subsequently in the genealogy presented in the book of Matthew (Ruth 4:18–22; Matthew 1:5–6).
