| Dec 26, 2015 at 16:55 | comment | added | Revelation Lad | If there is an intentional parallel then one must exist in the results or the consequences of the two. A key point of Ruth is the importance of the kinsman-redeemer who establishes Ruth's child as Naomi's and an Israelite not a Moabite and connects the Davidic line to Abraham. As there is no mention of Elisha having a child, one should consider how these principles are illustrated (or contrasted) by events in Elisha's ministry. | |

Look at Hebrews 11, for example. The writer of Hebrews lumps together all the characters in that chapter, based on one basic commonality; namely, faith in God. Then too, what about comparing Ruth with ABRAHAM? They both left paganism and each had a role in fulfilling God's covenant with Abraham: Abraham, in that his descendants came through Isaac, the child of promise, and Ruth, in that she was David's (and Jesus') forbear, as Matthew tells us in his Gospel (1:5). | |

| May 22, 2014 at 5:01 | comment | added | Tau | The Book of Ruth is used as the basis for 'acceptance' of a Gentile into Judaism, one is asked 3 times, like Ruth, if it is her answer; in fact the question is put to 'dissuade' one, like Ruth. Ultimately one says, "I will go where you go, your people shall be my people, and your God shall be my God." Elisha is interesting, as when Elijah 'threw his mantle upon him' then told him to "go back, what have I done to thee?" Here is a call by God, and the same act of surrender as Ruth, as well as servitude, for Elisha "poured water on the hands" of Elijah.(2Kings 3:11) | |
