Boaz and Ruth are in the direct lineage of Jesus.
Yes indeedy. Ain’t it grand?!
Good Morning, Dan! :-)
Mary-Lou! Pick out a couple that you like, and I’ll wrap them up for you....
Love Ruth. Thank you.
Magnificent stained-glass windows. They don’t make them like that anymore.
My pleasure. Certainly a story well worth illustrating.
Well said, Debbie.
Yes, and also, Boaz is a type of Jesus, our Kinsman-Redeemer. Kinsman because being God and very rich, he also became a man, our kinsman. Redeemer because by his blood, we are redeemed.
And Ruth is a type of us, the church, to whom Jesus is espoused and with whom we will soon have the amazing Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven.
Thanks for contributing that.
Ahh..this is the surprise you talked about yesterday! Happy, happy, stained glass windows paradise, one better than the other. Thank you, Dan!
You’re welcome and again good job on sharing the art that tells these Bible stories. As revealed by the Spirit, history is really HIS STORY, revealing Jesus.
God bless.
Use lenty of bubble-wrap on that stained glass!
Just for you and Mary-Lou, Alba. Now don’t fight over them—there’s plenty to go around.
I am feeling generous. Mary-Lou was first on drooling over the windows so she will have first choice...(hope she doesn’t take the ones I like best).
thank you for the stained glass
amazing work
I realized I had an image-surplus, so I thought we could have some fun.

For where you go, I will go..
Talk about "random" timing:
vav = 6
The letter of connection...
It was those Vavim ( plural of Vav) that connected and held the whole structure of the Mishkan in place.
That is true of the letter Vav that began so many verses in the tanach. The letter " vav" connects words, verses and messages. The letter Vav gives the flow of thoughts, a history and continuity. When we relearn context and connect all the events and visions that seem so randomly placed before us we begin again to find direction and purpose. Only then do we find truth and that is why the letter is called the letter of truth.
Over half the verses in the Torah begin with the letter vav. The books of the prophets have a smaller number of such verses and the Ketuvim, the Writings have even less. Yet almost every verse in the book of Ruth begins with the letter vav. What is the lesson that we are to glean from that fact?
Ruth [רות] = 606 (middle letter vav), and...

Route 66
The Mother Road:
Today's Google Doodle vid.
Route 66 was one of the earliest highways built in the US, and functioned was vital for those heading west
>>>
The latest Google Doodle celebrates Americas iconic Route 66, one of the most famous driving roads in the world and a bucket-list journey for road trip fans globally.
The route connects Chicago, Illinois and Santa Monica, California, and is known for its retro diners, odd hotels, eclectic art installations, and breathtaking scenery.
>>>
Today (30 April 2022) marks 96 years since the name "U.S. 66" was first proposed for the cross-country route.
>>>
The highway originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, before terminating at Santa Monica, Los Angeles County, California, spanning a total distance of 2,448 miles.

Megillat Ruth is the little book about the genealogy of David (and by extension, the lineage of the Messiah through Ruth)
The Mother Road...
Because wherever you find the tRUTH, you'll find RUTH.
The Messiah is the ultimate connection man, connecting heaven and earth and all of humanity. Or as indicated by way of Ruth, the "Ish Vavim".
He's the man who gets things because he makes all the right connections.
Son of David: ben David [בן דוד] = 66
DAVID Seeds: Est. 1926 ("An American Original")
The Mother Road cross-country Route 66 opened
In a world of ever increasing darkness and confusion the connecting power of the letter vav is critical to maintain the structure of faith and purpose. The story of Ruth and its theme of loving kindness and connecting events and people will provide that direction. The rest of History will continue to connect King David to the final redemption where in that time, all will be clear and all will be made known.
The Messiah is the ultimate connection man, connecting the heavens and the earth and all of humanity. Or as indicated by way of Ruth, the "Ish Vavim".
The sum of the 8 non-vav beginning letters of verses = 428 = "shmo Obed" [שמו עובד] in Ruth 4:17 (his name is Obed).
428 is also ha-mifgash [המפגש]: The meeting
noun: meeting, meeting place, rendezvous, junction, confluence, get together
Which is also the Hebrew title of this 2016 movie: "Arrival" . Released in the US on November 11, 2016.
US 66 was established on November 11, 1926.
The book of Ruth is about reconnecting events. The well meaning but flawed random events that began with Lot and his daughters and Yehudah and his daughter in-law , Tamar, culminated with Ruth and Boaz. The book of Ruth which is a book of loving-kindness brought all those pieces together in order to create a King David.66 ft. in a chain of 100 links..When we relearn context and connect all the events and visions that seem so randomly placed before us we begin again to find direction and purpose. Only then do we find truth..
This stuff is paradoxically "atomic": [אָטוֹמִי] = 66
Let there be light.
