Welcome to Six Measures

Ok, you are all probably wondering why the title...at least I usually do when I come across a blog for the first time. Well, I wanted one that would be easy to remember, original, and cover a good portion of the varied facets of the Book of Ruth. Those of you who have been through the book recently will recall that near the end of chapter three, Boaz "measured six measures of barley..." This is a unique circumstance that brings Boaz (a type of Christ, the Redeemer), Ruth (a type of the Gentiles, the church) and the blessing bestowed upon her by the Redeemer for the benefit of Naomi (a type of Israel), all together in one setting. This is a unique and descriptive summation of this little book and will hopefully be easy to remember. Thank you for your interest in this study and, welcome to Six Measures.
