00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.340
Probably,<00:08:31.220><c> the</c><00:08:31.420><c> Book</c><00:08:31.620><c> of</c><00:08:31.779><c> Ruth</c><00:08:32.100><c> is</c><00:08:32.320><c> written</c><00:08:32.620><c> during</c><00:08:32.960><c> the</c><00:08:33.159><c> time</c>

It's<00:09:13.940><c> sort</c><00:09:14.179><c> of</c><00:09:14.279><c> like</c><00:09:14.539><c> Jonah,</c><00:09:15.440><c> them</c><00:09:15.600><c> running</c><00:09:15.879><c> away</c><00:09:16.220><c> from</c><00:09:16.519><c> God's</c><00:09:16.980><c> punishment.</c>

00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.659
Well,<00:09:18.320><c> just</c><00:09:18.639><c> basically</c><00:09:18.940><c> running</c><00:09:19.179><c> away</c><00:09:19.460><c> from</c><00:09:19.679><c> God.</c>

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:24.919
They<00:09:21.100><c> made</c><00:09:21.899><c> it</c><00:09:23.580><c> so</c><00:09:23.679><c> there</c><00:09:23.820><c> was</c><00:09:24.000><c> a</c><00:09:24.120><c> famine,</c><00:09:24.480><c> so</c><00:09:24.580><c> they</c><00:09:24.720><c> thought</c>

00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.539
they<00:09:25.059><c> could</c><00:09:25.340><c> escape</c><00:09:26.019><c> God's</c><00:09:26.659><c> punishment</c><00:09:26.820><c> by</c><00:09:27.059><c> running</c><00:09:27.399><c> to</c><00:09:27.639><c> Moab.</c>

00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:34.720
In<00:09:29.179><c> their</c><00:09:29.320><c> financial</c><00:09:29.799><c> situation,</c><00:09:30.559><c> it</c><00:09:30.559><c> was</c><00:09:30.860><c> definitely</c><00:09:31.139><c> a</c><00:09:31.200><c> good</c><00:09:31.399><c> idea</c><00:09:31.860><c> because</c><00:09:33.539><c> they</c><00:09:33.960><c> said</c><00:09:34.080><c> they</c><00:09:34.720><c> had</c>

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.419
bread<00:09:34.940><c> in</c><00:09:35.000><c> Moab.</c>

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.200
So<00:09:39.559><c> that's</c><00:09:40.080><c> where</c><00:09:40.259><c> the</c><00:09:40.419><c> enemy</c><00:09:40.580><c> had</c><00:09:40.799><c> taken</c><00:09:40.960><c> all</c><00:09:41.179><c> the</c><00:09:41.299><c> bread</c><00:09:41.399><c> anyway,</c><00:09:41.879><c> isn't</c><00:09:41.919><c> it?</c>

00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.519
The<00:09:43.200><c> Midianites</c><00:09:43.600><c> came</c><00:09:43.840><c> across</c><00:09:44.220><c> from</c><00:09:44.399><c> there</c><00:09:44.740><c> and</c><00:09:45.059><c> Moabites,</c>

00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:47.600
and<00:09:46.120><c> they</c><00:09:46.220><c> took</c><00:09:46.399><c> the</c><00:09:46.620><c> food</c><00:09:46.740><c> away.</c>

00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.740
So<00:09:48.419><c> what</c><00:09:48.500><c> would</c><00:09:48.679><c> that</c><00:09:49.039><c> indicate,</c><00:09:49.460><c> then,</c><00:09:49.620><c> that</c><00:09:49.779><c> this</c><00:09:50.419><c> family</c>

00:09:50.740 --> 00:09:52.659
was<00:09:51.019><c> prepared</c><00:09:51.419><c> to</c><00:09:51.679><c> do?</c>

00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:05.620
They<00:10:02.980><c> had</c><00:10:03.159><c> no</c><00:10:03.360><c> bread?</c><00:10:04.240><c> Who</c><00:10:04.519><c> had</c><00:10:04.679><c> the</c><00:10:04.899><c> bread?</c>

00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:09.139
The<00:10:07.820><c> other</c><00:10:08.019><c> side?</c>

00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.840
Yeah,<00:10:10.480><c> so</c><00:10:10.480><c> what</c><00:10:10.659><c> were</c><00:10:10.820><c> they</c><00:10:10.980><c> prepared</c><00:10:11.279><c> to</c><00:10:11.480><c> do?</c>

00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:13.519
Which<00:10:12.639><c> side?</c>

00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:18.320
So<00:10:15.740><c> do</c><00:10:16.159><c> we</c><00:10:16.320><c> think</c><00:10:16.620><c> that</c><00:10:16.899><c> God</c><00:10:17.039><c> thought</c><00:10:17.279><c> this</c><00:10:17.500><c> was</c><00:10:17.639><c> a</c><00:10:17.720><c> good</c><00:10:17.860><c> idea,</c>

00:10:18.539 --> 00:10:21.419
leaving<00:10:18.879><c> and</c><00:10:19.120><c> going</c><00:10:19.399><c> to...</c>

00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:22.539
No.

00:10:22.940 --> 00:10:26.500
Why<00:10:23.100><c> not?</c><00:10:24.399><c> What</c><00:10:24.879><c> would</c><00:10:25.080><c> indicate</c><00:10:25.500><c> from</c><00:10:25.679><c> what</c><00:10:25.820><c> we've</c><00:10:26.019><c> read</c><00:10:26.159><c> so</c>

00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:28.320
far<00:10:26.679><c> that</c><00:10:26.779><c> this</c><00:10:26.940><c> was</c><00:10:27.100><c> not</c><00:10:27.259><c> a</c><00:10:27.340><c> good</c><00:10:27.419><c> idea?</c>

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:29.299
They<00:10:28.679><c> died.</c>

00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:31.779
Yeah,<00:10:30.500><c> they</c><00:10:30.679><c> died,</c><00:10:30.879><c> didn't</c><00:10:31.080><c> they?</c>

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:34.980
Couldn't<00:10:32.360><c> get</c><00:10:32.679><c> pretty</c><00:10:33.259><c> more</c><00:10:33.700><c> drastic</c><00:10:34.039><c> than</c><00:10:34.240><c> that,</c><00:10:34.419><c> could</c><00:10:34.600><c> you?</c>

00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:37.799
The<00:10:35.419><c> father</c><00:10:35.740><c> dies</c><00:10:36.120><c> and</c><00:10:36.240><c> both</c><00:10:36.480><c> the</c><00:10:36.659><c> sons</c><00:10:36.820><c> die.</c>

00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:44.820
So<00:10:38.720><c> they'd</c><00:10:39.320><c> gone</c><00:10:39.539><c> away</c><00:10:40.220><c> looking</c><00:10:40.960><c> for</c><00:10:42.019><c> relief</c><00:10:42.519><c> from</c><00:10:43.100><c> the</c><00:10:43.860><c> problem.</c>

00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:46.740
They'd<00:10:45.240><c> gone</c><00:10:45.460><c> to</c><00:10:45.659><c> the</c><00:10:45.860><c> enemy.</c>

00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:49.980
They'd<00:10:47.000><c> even</c><00:10:47.259><c> married</c><00:10:47.879><c> into</c><00:10:48.919><c> the</c><00:10:49.139><c> enemy.</c>

00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:57.639
And<00:10:50.779><c> as</c><00:10:51.600><c> life</c><00:10:52.299><c> unfolded</c><00:10:52.899><c> for</c><00:10:53.179><c> them,</c><00:10:54.700><c> both</c><00:10:55.220><c> sons</c><00:10:56.000><c> and</c><00:10:56.299><c> the</c><00:10:56.500><c> father</c><00:10:56.720><c> die.</c>

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.919
So<00:10:59.299><c> the</c><00:10:59.399><c> thing</c><00:10:59.659><c> which</c><00:10:59.860><c> they</c><00:11:00.080><c> were</c><00:11:00.240><c> running...</c><00:11:00.480><c> what</c><00:11:00.799><c> were</c>

00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:02.720
they<00:11:01.120><c> running</c><00:11:01.279><c> away</c><00:11:01.580><c> from,</c><00:11:02.220><c> then?</c>

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:12.379
The<00:11:05.820><c> thing</c><00:11:06.419><c> that</c><00:11:06.960><c> caught</c><00:11:07.220><c> them</c><00:11:07.399><c> in</c><00:11:11.879><c> the</c><00:11:11.879><c> end.</c>

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:13.580
Problem?

00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.139
Well,<00:11:16.340><c> death.</c>

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:21.279
See,<00:11:18.440><c> in</c><00:11:18.940><c> the</c><00:11:19.120><c> end,</c><00:11:19.340><c> that's</c><00:11:19.340><c> what</c><00:11:19.519><c> most</c><00:11:19.779><c> people</c><00:11:20.000><c> run</c><00:11:20.200><c> away</c><00:11:20.440><c> from.</c>

00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:27.559
They<00:11:23.580><c> thought</c><00:11:23.879><c> that</c><00:11:24.240><c> they</c><00:11:24.360><c> had</c><00:11:24.539><c> a</c><00:11:24.639><c> better</c><00:11:24.820><c> chance</c><00:11:25.120><c> of</c><00:11:25.399><c> life</c><00:11:26.080><c> if</c>

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.600
they<00:11:27.820><c> went</c><00:11:28.279><c> to</c><00:11:29.500><c> the</c><00:11:29.659><c> enemy</c><00:11:29.940><c> side</c><00:11:30.200><c> of</c><00:11:30.500><c> the</c><00:11:30.500><c> River</c><00:11:30.740><c> Jordan.</c>

00:11:33.259 --> 00:11:36.379
They<00:11:33.779><c> thought</c><00:11:33.980><c> that</c><00:11:34.159><c> they</c><00:11:34.440><c> could</c><00:11:34.779><c> perhaps</c><00:11:35.340><c> stave</c><00:11:35.559><c> off</c><00:11:35.779><c> death</c>

00:11:36.379 --> 00:11:40.759
or<00:11:37.600><c> prevent</c><00:11:37.899><c> death</c><00:11:38.539><c> by</c><00:11:39.460><c> leaving</c><00:11:39.799><c> one</c><00:11:40.059><c> country</c><00:11:40.379><c> and</c><00:11:40.519><c> going</c><00:11:40.639><c> to</c>

00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.899
live<00:11:40.860><c> in</c><00:11:41.019><c> another</c><00:11:41.179><c> country.</c>

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:48.500
But<00:11:44.440><c> ultimately,</c><00:11:45.120><c> you</c><00:11:45.200><c> see,</c><00:11:46.240><c> death</c><00:11:46.299><c> catches</c><00:11:47.240><c> us</c><00:11:47.500><c> all.</c>

00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:52.700
And<00:11:49.200><c> it</c><00:11:49.259><c> doesn't</c><00:11:49.440><c> matter</c><00:11:49.600><c> where</c><00:11:49.759><c> you</c><00:11:49.940><c> run</c><00:11:50.120><c> away,</c><00:11:52.000><c> the</c><00:11:52.299><c> place,</c>

00:11:52.940 --> 00:11:56.759
the<00:11:53.220><c> time,</c><00:11:54.299><c> it</c><00:11:54.480><c> isn't</c><00:11:54.679><c> going</c><00:11:54.860><c> to</c><00:11:55.059><c> prevent</c><00:11:55.259><c> death,</c><00:11:55.519><c> is</c><00:11:55.679><c> it?</c>

00:11:57.580 --> 00:12:00.039
So<00:11:57.940><c> what's</c><00:11:58.200><c> more</c><00:11:58.440><c> important</c><00:11:58.740><c> than</c><00:11:58.860><c> running</c><00:11:59.100><c> away?</c>

00:12:10.299 --> 00:12:17.139
If<00:12:10.659><c> running</c><00:12:10.919><c> away</c><00:12:11.059><c> is</c><00:12:11.159><c> not</c><00:12:11.340><c> an</c><00:12:11.519><c> option,</c><00:12:15.740><c> what's</c><00:12:16.019><c> the</c><00:12:16.159><c> alternative?</c>

00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.679
Well,<00:12:21.220><c> you've</c><00:12:21.399><c> got</c><00:12:21.399><c> to</c><00:12:21.500><c> have</c><00:12:21.600><c> faith,</c><00:12:21.899><c> haven't</c><00:12:22.000><c> you?</c>

00:12:24.029 --> 00:12:28.279
Can<00:12:24.460><c> you</c><00:12:24.679><c> think</c><00:12:24.960><c> of</c><00:12:25.259><c> other</c><00:12:25.860><c> biblical</c><00:12:26.440><c> illustrations</c><00:12:27.179><c> of</c><00:12:27.600><c> people</c><00:12:28.039><c> who</c>

00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:32.919
were<00:12:28.639><c> in</c><00:12:29.259><c> difficult</c><00:12:30.039><c> circumstances</c><00:12:31.139><c> where</c><00:12:31.379><c> there</c><00:12:31.519><c> was</c><00:12:31.720><c> famine?</c>

00:12:36.019 --> 00:12:38.639
Elijah?<00:12:37.919><c> Yeah?</c>

00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:43.559
Any<00:12:41.960><c> others?</c><00:12:42.659><c> Joseph?</c>

00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:45.220
Abraham?

00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:48.299
Yeah?

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:55.080

00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:16.480

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:51.079
So,<00:19:47.480><c> we'll</c><00:19:47.619><c> go</c><00:19:47.859><c> across</c><00:19:48.099><c> to</c><00:19:48.319><c> Moab.</c><00:19:49.220><c> Well,</c><00:19:49.500><c> the</c><00:19:49.660><c> famine</c><00:19:49.859><c> will</c><00:19:50.119><c> probably</c><00:19:50.380><c> last</c><00:19:50.640><c> about</c><00:19:50.960><c> a</c>

That's<00:19:52.960><c> all</c><00:19:53.059><c> we</c><00:19:53.200><c> need.</c><00:19:53.319><c> Don't</c><00:19:53.500><c> worry</c><00:19:53.720><c> about</c><00:19:53.900><c> it.</c><00:19:54.400><c> We'll</c><00:19:54.619><c> be</c><00:19:54.859><c> back.</c>

Why<00:21:12.339><c> bother</c><00:21:12.619><c> going</c><00:21:12.819><c> all</c><00:21:13.019><c> the</c><00:21:13.019><c> way</c><00:21:13.099><c> home</c><00:21:13.299><c> to</c><00:21:13.420><c> get</c><00:21:13.599><c> married</c><00:21:13.880><c> when</c>

00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:16.940
there's<00:21:14.259><c> plenty</c><00:21:14.519><c> of</c><00:21:15.140><c> women</c><00:21:15.279><c> around</c><00:21:15.539><c> here</c><00:21:15.680><c> that</c><00:21:15.799><c> we</c><00:21:15.960><c> can</c><00:21:16.099><c> marry?</c>

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:19.140
And<00:21:17.500><c> they</c><00:21:17.660><c> would</c><00:21:17.819><c> have</c><00:21:18.000><c> families,</c><00:21:18.539><c> they</c><00:21:18.539><c> would</c><00:21:18.740><c> have</c><00:21:18.880><c> mothers</c>

00:21:19.140 --> 00:21:22.039
and<00:21:19.339><c> fathers</c><00:21:19.619><c> and</c><00:21:19.799><c> brothers</c><00:21:20.039><c> and</c><00:21:20.279><c> sisters,</c><00:21:20.819><c> and</c><00:21:21.000><c> they</c><00:21:21.180><c> wouldn't</c><00:21:21.400><c> necessarily</c><00:21:21.819><c> want</c>

00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:22.539
to<00:21:22.259><c> leave.</c>

00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:27.220
So<00:21:23.119><c> you</c><00:21:23.299><c> then</c><00:21:23.460><c> get</c><00:21:23.720><c> drawn</c><00:21:23.980><c> into</c><00:21:24.519><c> a</c><00:21:24.960><c> new</c><00:21:25.259><c> family</c><00:21:26.180><c> environment.</c>

00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:31.920
And<00:21:28.539><c> there</c><00:21:28.619><c> was</c><00:21:28.759><c> no</c><00:21:28.940><c> God</c><00:21:29.099><c> of</c><00:21:29.259><c> Israel</c><00:21:29.619><c> on</c><00:21:30.380><c> this</c><00:21:30.619><c> side</c><00:21:30.759><c> of</c><00:21:30.859><c> the</c><00:21:31.019><c> Jordan.</c>

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:38.259
The<00:21:32.740><c> Moabites</c><00:21:33.220><c> didn't</c><00:21:34.420><c> worship</c><00:21:35.099><c> the</c><00:21:35.359><c> God</c><00:21:35.519><c> of</c><00:21:35.680><c> Israel,</c><00:21:36.539><c> so</c><00:21:36.619><c> straight</c><00:21:36.940><c> away</c><00:21:37.220><c> you're</c><00:21:37.400><c> being</c><00:21:37.640><c> drawn</c><00:21:37.859><c> into</c><00:21:38.140><c> a</c>

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:41.720
whole<00:21:38.599><c> different</c><00:21:39.519><c> culture</c><00:21:40.059><c> and</c><00:21:40.480><c> way</c><00:21:40.640><c> of</c><00:21:40.859><c> life.</c>

00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:45.200
So<00:21:42.599><c> it</c><00:21:42.799><c> started</c><00:21:43.039><c> off</c><00:21:43.240><c> as</c><00:21:43.420><c> a</c><00:21:43.500><c> temporary</c><00:21:43.759><c> thing,</c><00:21:44.720><c> became</c><00:21:44.960><c> a</c><00:21:45.039><c> bit</c>

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.279
more<00:21:45.500><c> permanent,</c><00:21:45.940><c> and</c><00:21:46.079><c> then</c><00:21:46.319><c> finally</c><00:21:46.680><c> they</c><00:21:46.920><c> looked</c><00:21:47.099><c> like</c>

00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:48.240
they<00:21:47.500><c> were.</c>

00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:51.920
And<00:21:48.920><c> they</c><00:21:49.000><c> would</c><00:21:49.160><c> have</c><00:21:50.299><c> stayed</c><00:21:50.539><c> there,</c><00:21:50.779><c> quite</c><00:21:50.980><c> obviously.</c>

00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.019
The<00:21:53.720><c> men</c><00:21:54.019><c> showed</c><00:21:54.339><c> no</c><00:21:54.599><c> intention</c><00:21:54.940><c> of</c><00:21:55.079><c> going</c><00:21:55.259><c> home</c><00:21:55.519><c> at</c><00:21:55.759><c> all.</c>

00:21:56.019 --> 00:22:01.839
We<00:21:56.480><c> got</c><00:21:56.619><c> married,</c><00:21:58.039><c> got</c><00:21:58.220><c> wives,</c><00:21:59.240><c> we're</c><00:21:59.500><c> settled,</c><00:22:00.440><c> here</c><00:22:00.660><c> we</c><00:22:00.880><c> are.</c>

00:22:02.339 --> 00:22:03.859
So<00:22:02.579><c> they</c><00:22:02.740><c> die.</c>

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:10.119
And<00:22:05.500><c> Naomi</c><00:22:05.859><c> says,</c><00:22:06.440><c> well,</c><00:22:07.720><c> I</c><00:22:07.779><c> came</c><00:22:07.980><c> with</c><00:22:08.140><c> a</c><00:22:08.220><c> husband</c><00:22:08.599><c> and</c><00:22:09.740><c> two</c>

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.160
sons,<00:22:11.920><c> they're</c><00:22:12.359><c> gone.</c>

00:22:13.619 --> 00:22:16.900
All<00:22:13.839><c> my</c><00:22:14.119><c> family,</c><00:22:14.599><c> all</c><00:22:14.759><c> my</c><00:22:14.960><c> relations,</c><00:22:16.180><c> are</c><00:22:16.279><c> back</c><00:22:16.480><c> where</c><00:22:16.660><c> the</c>

00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:18.079
problem<00:22:17.180><c> lies.</c>

00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:21.119
And<00:22:18.480><c> I</c><00:22:18.559><c> might</c><00:22:18.680><c> as</c><00:22:18.779><c> well</c><00:22:18.839><c> go</c><00:22:19.039><c> back</c><00:22:19.299><c> there,</c><00:22:20.500><c> because</c><00:22:20.759><c> there's</c><00:22:20.880><c> no</c>

00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:25.819
point<00:22:21.279><c> in</c><00:22:21.420><c> me</c><00:22:21.680><c> staying</c><00:22:21.900><c> here</c><00:22:22.299><c> on</c><00:22:22.539><c> my</c><00:22:22.759><c> own,</c><00:22:24.099><c> without</c><00:22:24.359><c> any</c><00:22:24.619><c> of</c><00:22:24.779><c> my</c><00:22:24.960><c> family.</c>

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:33.140
And<00:22:26.579><c> so</c><00:22:26.700><c> that's</c><00:22:27.119><c> the</c><00:22:27.380><c> situation</c><00:22:28.220><c> that</c><00:22:30.420><c> she</c><00:22:30.660><c> finds</c><00:22:31.019><c> herself</c><00:22:31.440><c> in.</c>

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:36.700
And<00:22:34.119><c> it</c><00:22:34.220><c> was</c><00:22:34.380><c> only</c><00:22:34.619><c> through</c><00:22:34.900><c> the</c><00:22:35.059><c> death</c><00:22:35.299><c> of</c><00:22:35.500><c> the</c><00:22:35.680><c> three</c><00:22:35.839><c> men</c>

00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:41.180
that<00:22:38.220><c> the</c><00:22:38.420><c> way</c><00:22:38.660><c> back</c><00:22:39.319><c> was</c><00:22:40.019><c> opened</c><00:22:40.319><c> up.</c>

00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:44.579
Now<00:22:41.700><c> you</c><00:22:41.740><c> may</c><00:22:41.960><c> think</c><00:22:42.099><c> that's</c><00:22:42.339><c> a</c><00:22:42.460><c> pretty</c><00:22:42.660><c> drastic</c><00:22:43.660><c> way</c><00:22:44.059><c> for</c><00:22:44.299><c> God</c>

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:51.859
to<00:22:46.759><c> operate,</c><00:22:47.599><c> but</c><00:22:49.339><c> that's</c><00:22:50.619><c> the</c><00:22:50.700><c> way</c><00:22:50.819><c> he</c><00:22:50.940><c> does</c><00:22:51.200><c> operate.</c>

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:55.019
And<00:22:52.539><c> he</c><00:22:52.660><c> still</c><00:22:53.000><c> operates</c><00:22:53.359><c> like</c><00:22:53.599><c> that</c><00:22:53.700><c> in</c><00:22:53.839><c> our</c><00:22:54.039><c> lives.</c>

00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:01.940
So<00:22:57.880><c> Naomi</c><00:22:58.359><c> then</c><00:22:58.619><c> is</c><00:22:58.839><c> faced</c><00:22:59.079><c> with</c><00:22:59.319><c> this</c><00:22:59.579><c> particular</c><00:23:00.599><c> predicament.</c>

00:23:04.099 --> 00:23:08.240
She's<00:23:04.579><c> got</c><00:23:04.640><c> to</c><00:23:04.720><c> go</c><00:23:04.960><c> back,</c><00:23:06.180><c> the</c><00:23:06.279><c> two</c><00:23:06.539><c> daughter</c><00:23:06.779><c>-in</c><00:23:06.940><c>-laws,</c><00:23:07.200><c> do</c><00:23:07.359><c> they</c><00:23:07.839><c> go</c>

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:18.799
They've<00:23:12.680><c> no</c><00:23:13.059><c> real</c><00:23:13.380><c> reason,</c><00:23:13.819><c> have</c><00:23:14.000><c> they,</c><00:23:14.440><c> to</c><00:23:14.559><c> stay</c><00:23:15.539><c> with</c><00:23:17.700><c> Naomi</c>

00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:23.079
because<00:23:19.440><c> their</c><00:23:19.759><c> husbands</c><00:23:20.099><c> are</c><00:23:20.319><c> now</c><00:23:20.559><c> dead,</c><00:23:21.099><c> and</c><00:23:21.279><c> all</c><00:23:21.480><c> their</c><00:23:21.660><c> families</c><00:23:22.180><c> are</c><00:23:22.960><c> in</c>

00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:32.440
And<00:23:26.160><c> so</c><00:23:26.640><c> they</c><00:23:28.559><c> get</c><00:23:28.880><c> to</c><00:23:29.299><c> a</c><00:23:29.480><c> point</c><00:23:29.720><c> where</c><00:23:30.779><c> she's</c><00:23:32.019><c> going</c><00:23:32.140><c> to</c><00:23:32.180><c> take</c>

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.119
There's<00:23:36.859><c> no</c><00:23:37.140><c> point</c><00:23:37.299><c> in</c><00:23:37.460><c> you</c><00:23:37.640><c> coming</c><00:23:37.859><c> back.</c><00:23:38.299><c> I</c><00:23:38.519><c> can't</c><00:23:38.819><c> give</c><00:23:38.940><c> you</c>

00:28:18.059 --> 00:28:22.220
So<00:28:18.240><c> we</c><00:28:18.460><c> then</c><00:28:18.680><c> see</c><00:28:19.359><c> there's</c><00:28:20.039><c> a</c><00:28:20.200><c> division</c><00:28:20.500><c> between</c><00:28:20.859><c> the</c><00:28:21.059><c> two</c><00:28:21.200><c> women.</c>

with<00:38:39.380><c> the</c><00:38:39.539><c> fact</c><00:38:39.719><c> that</c><00:38:40.139><c> God</c><00:38:41.000><c> requires</c><00:38:41.920><c> us</c><00:38:42.699><c> to</c><00:38:43.119><c> reflect</c><00:38:43.500><c> him,</c>

00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:47.550
because<00:38:44.940><c> he's</c><00:38:45.239><c> our</c><00:38:45.440><c> father</c><00:38:45.940><c> and</c><00:38:46.340><c> we're</c><00:38:46.539><c> his</c><00:38:46.760><c> children.</c>

00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:52.159
And<00:38:48.159><c> therefore</c><00:38:48.460><c> we</c><00:38:48.679><c> should</c><00:38:49.239><c> reflect</c><00:38:49.760><c> in</c><00:38:49.920><c> our</c><00:38:50.199><c> lives</c><00:38:50.659><c> our</c><00:38:51.579><c> father,</c><00:38:52.019><c> just</c>

00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.179
as<00:38:52.280><c> we</c><00:38:52.420><c> do</c><00:38:52.559><c> in</c><00:38:52.719><c> our</c><00:38:52.880><c> natural</c><00:38:53.199><c> life.</c>

00:38:56.340 --> 00:39:02.099
We<00:38:56.800><c> look</c><00:38:57.000><c> at</c><00:38:57.179><c> each</c><00:38:57.440><c> other,</c><00:38:58.500><c> we</c><00:38:58.739><c> can</c><00:38:59.119><c> see</c><00:38:59.820><c> in</c><00:39:00.519><c> the</c><00:39:00.780><c> children</c><00:39:01.239><c> the</c>

00:39:02.099 --> 00:39:03.780
genes<00:39:02.380><c> of</c><00:39:02.599><c> the</c><00:39:02.800><c> parents.</c>

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:10.579
My<00:39:06.039><c> son</c><00:39:06.199><c> wears</c><00:39:06.539><c> mine,</c><00:39:06.960><c> so</c><00:39:07.199><c> it's</c><00:39:07.880><c> no</c><00:39:08.480><c> problem</c><00:39:08.760><c> for</c><00:39:08.980><c> me.</c><00:39:09.599><c> He's</c><00:39:09.920><c> always</c><00:39:10.159><c> in</c><00:39:10.340><c> them.</c>

00:39:10.579 --> 00:39:15.460
But<00:39:11.420><c> you</c><00:39:11.539><c> know,</c><00:39:11.639><c> when</c><00:39:11.780><c> you</c><00:39:11.860><c> look</c><00:39:12.059><c> at</c><00:39:12.159><c> your</c><00:39:12.400><c> kids,</c><00:39:13.239><c> you</c><00:39:13.400><c> see</c><00:39:13.760><c> your</c><00:39:15.059><c> own</c>

00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:17.440
faults<00:39:15.780><c> and</c><00:39:15.980><c> all</c><00:39:16.019><c> your</c><00:39:16.219><c> own</c><00:39:16.460><c> failings.</c>

00:39:17.860 --> 00:39:21.139
And<00:39:18.039><c> that's</c><00:39:18.199><c> the</c><00:39:18.340><c> one</c><00:39:18.519><c> thing</c><00:39:18.699><c> you</c><00:39:19.219><c> always</c><00:39:19.760><c> feel</c><00:39:20.179><c> most</c><00:39:20.559><c> awkward</c><00:39:20.900><c> about.</c>

00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:25.139
You<00:39:21.340><c> want</c><00:39:21.659><c> to</c><00:39:22.699><c> stop</c><00:39:22.940><c> your</c><00:39:23.260><c> children</c><00:39:23.739><c> doing</c><00:39:24.460><c> the</c><00:39:24.699><c> same</c><00:39:24.900><c> things</c>

00:39:25.139 --> 00:39:28.800
that<00:39:25.320><c> you</c><00:39:25.539><c> did</c><00:39:25.739><c> that</c><00:39:25.920><c> you</c><00:39:26.059><c> know</c><00:39:26.679><c> you</c><00:39:27.280><c> wish</c><00:39:27.420><c> you</c><00:39:27.579><c> hadn't</c><00:39:27.780><c> done.</c>

00:39:30.219 --> 00:39:32.699
But<00:39:30.400><c> life</c><00:39:30.699><c> inevitably</c><00:39:31.159><c> leads</c><00:39:31.460><c> them</c><00:39:31.699><c> down</c><00:39:31.860><c> the</c><00:39:32.019><c> same</c><00:39:32.219><c> road</c><00:39:32.539><c> and</c>

00:39:32.699 --> 00:39:34.900
they<00:39:32.840><c> make</c><00:39:33.000><c> the</c><00:39:33.179><c> same</c><00:39:33.300><c> mistakes</c><00:39:33.679><c> that</c><00:39:33.820><c> you</c><00:39:34.000><c> make.</c>

00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:37.860
And<00:39:35.380><c> they</c><00:39:35.480><c> have</c><00:39:35.659><c> to</c><00:39:35.860><c> learn</c><00:39:36.079><c> just</c><00:39:36.300><c> as</c><00:39:36.460><c> we</c><00:39:36.659><c> had</c><00:39:36.840><c> to</c><00:39:37.079><c> learn</c><00:39:37.500><c> the</c>

00:39:37.860 --> 00:39:38.880
hard<00:39:38.079><c> way.</c>

00:39:39.099 --> 00:39:43.460
So<00:39:39.559><c> we</c><00:39:39.920><c> try,</c><00:39:40.940><c> as</c><00:39:41.059><c> we</c><00:39:41.260><c> try</c><00:39:41.460><c> at</c><00:39:41.679><c> Bible</c><00:39:41.900><c> school,</c><00:39:42.739><c> to</c><00:39:42.960><c> help</c><00:39:43.179><c> each</c>

00:39:43.460 --> 00:39:46.159
other<00:39:44.019><c> avoid</c><00:39:44.380><c> making</c><00:39:44.719><c> the</c><00:39:44.940><c> same</c><00:39:45.079><c> mistakes.</c>

00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:50.480
So<00:39:47.840><c> that's</c><00:39:48.019><c> where</c><00:39:48.179><c> we</c><00:39:48.380><c> are</c><00:39:48.739><c> with</c><00:39:49.059><c> the</c><00:39:49.300><c> story</c><00:39:49.500><c> of</c><00:39:49.679><c> Ruth</c><00:39:49.820><c> at</c><00:39:50.000><c> the</c><00:39:50.159><c> beginning.</c>

00:39:50.860 --> 00:39:53.820
It's<00:39:51.000><c> a</c><00:39:51.099><c> story</c><00:39:51.260><c> of</c><00:39:51.400><c> people</c><00:39:51.699><c> who</c><00:39:52.039><c> tried</c><00:39:52.179><c> to</c><00:39:52.360><c> run</c><00:39:52.460><c> away</c><00:39:52.639><c> from</c><00:39:52.860><c> God,</c><00:39:53.659><c> who</c>

00:39:53.820 --> 00:39:56.840
tried<00:39:54.000><c> to</c><00:39:54.179><c> run</c><00:39:54.260><c> away</c><00:39:54.440><c> from</c><00:39:54.579><c> the</c><00:39:54.800><c> problems,</c><00:39:55.980><c> but</c><00:39:56.260><c> they</c><00:39:56.500><c> couldn't</c><00:39:56.619><c> run</c>

00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:58.360
away<00:39:57.159><c> from</c><00:39:57.420><c> either.</c>

00:39:58.860 --> 00:40:03.070
Ultimately<00:39:59.320><c> death</c><00:39:59.760><c> came</c><00:40:00.300><c> and</c><00:40:01.179><c> from</c><00:40:01.500><c> death</c><00:40:01.800><c> came</c><00:40:02.059><c> a</c><00:40:02.199><c> new</c><00:40:02.340><c> life.</c>

00:40:03.670 --> 00:40:07.090
And<00:40:04.070><c> it's</c><00:40:04.289><c> a</c><00:40:04.409><c> new</c><00:40:04.550><c> life</c><00:40:04.889><c> which</c><00:40:05.110><c> is</c><00:40:05.289><c> going</c><00:40:05.389><c> to</c><00:40:05.570><c> teach</c><00:40:05.690><c> us</c><00:40:05.969><c> principles</c><00:40:06.449><c> about</c>

00:40:07.090 --> 00:40:10.050
resurrection<00:40:07.650><c> from</c><00:40:07.909><c> the</c><00:40:08.090><c> dead</c><00:40:08.389><c> and</c><00:40:09.210><c> about</c><00:40:09.469><c> learning</c><00:40:09.750><c> to</c><00:40:09.929><c> put</c>

00:40:10.050 --> 00:40:11.590
our<00:40:10.269><c> trust</c><00:40:10.409><c> in</c><00:40:10.610><c> God.</c>

00:40:12.550 --> 00:40:16.670
Now,<00:40:13.570><c> before</c><00:40:13.769><c> we</c><00:40:13.989><c> finish,</c><00:40:15.650><c> who</c><00:40:15.769><c> wants</c><00:40:15.949><c> to</c><00:40:16.110><c> tell</c><00:40:16.289><c> me</c><00:40:16.389><c> why</c><00:40:16.550><c> they</c>

00:40:16.670 --> 00:40:18.150
came<00:40:16.869><c> to</c><00:40:17.050><c> Bible</c><00:40:17.289><c> school?</c>

00:40:22.489 --> 00:40:25.090
Fine,<00:40:22.889><c> is</c><00:40:23.010><c> Jim</c><00:40:23.090><c> going</c><00:40:23.250><c> to</c><00:40:23.250><c> be</c><00:40:23.409><c> happy</c><00:40:23.590><c> when</c><00:40:23.730><c> he</c><00:40:23.809><c> gets</c><00:40:23.949><c> them</c><00:40:24.170><c> back?</c>

00:40:28.329 --> 00:40:30.510
Why<00:40:28.730><c> have</c><00:40:28.869><c> we</c><00:40:29.010><c> come</c><00:40:29.170><c> to</c><00:40:29.349><c> Bible</c><00:40:29.590><c> school?</c>

00:40:35.550 --> 00:40:39.289
Anybody<00:40:36.030><c> come</c><00:40:36.250><c> because</c><00:40:36.449><c> they</c><00:40:36.650><c> had</c><00:40:36.889><c> to</c><00:40:37.090><c> come?</c>

00:40:40.570 --> 00:40:45.070
They<00:40:40.730><c> would</c><00:40:40.929><c> have</c><00:40:41.289><c> looked</c><00:40:41.949><c> sort</c><00:40:42.309><c> of</c><00:40:43.050><c> awkward</c><00:40:43.389><c> if</c><00:40:43.530><c> they</c><00:40:43.769><c> hadn't</c><00:40:43.969><c> come.</c>

00:40:45.630 --> 00:40:48.309
So<00:40:45.829><c> everybody</c><00:40:46.090><c> came</c><00:40:46.389><c> willingly,</c><00:40:47.289><c> yeah?</c>

00:40:49.489 --> 00:40:50.929
Of<00:40:49.590><c> your</c><00:40:49.769><c> own</c><00:40:49.969><c> free</c><00:40:50.190><c> will.</c>

00:40:53.289 --> 00:40:55.849
That<00:40:53.769><c> was</c><00:40:54.010><c> a</c><00:40:54.090><c> decision</c><00:40:54.369><c> you</c><00:40:54.650><c> took</c><00:40:54.829><c> and</c><00:40:55.010><c> nobody</c><00:40:55.309><c> took</c><00:40:55.489><c> it</c><00:40:55.630><c> for</c>

00:40:55.849 --> 00:40:57.510
you.<00:40:56.389><c> Is</c><00:40:56.489><c> that</c><00:40:56.630><c> right?</c>

00:40:59.550 --> 00:41:02.250
You<00:40:59.849><c> need</c><00:40:59.969><c> to</c><00:41:00.130><c> come</c><00:41:00.269><c> if</c><00:41:00.389><c> you</c><00:41:00.489><c> didn't</c><00:41:00.670><c> want</c><00:41:00.869><c> to.</c>

00:41:03.210 --> 00:41:05.869
You're<00:41:03.610><c> not</c><00:41:03.750><c> too</c><00:41:03.969><c> sure</c><00:41:04.110><c> about</c><00:41:04.329><c> this,</c><00:41:04.570><c> are</c><00:41:04.650><c> you?</c>

00:41:37.809 --> 00:41:40.170
So<00:41:37.969><c> you</c><00:41:38.030><c> want</c><00:41:38.170><c> to</c><00:41:38.289><c> be</c><00:41:38.409><c> with</c><00:41:38.489><c> people</c><00:41:38.710><c> who</c><00:41:38.829><c> think</c><00:41:39.010><c> like</c><00:41:39.230><c> you?</c>

00:41:40.809 --> 00:41:42.929
You<00:41:41.190><c> want</c><00:41:41.329><c> to</c><00:41:41.429><c> be</c><00:41:41.510><c> with</c><00:41:41.650><c> people</c><00:41:41.829><c> who</c><00:41:41.929><c> think</c><00:41:42.090><c> like</c><00:41:42.309><c> you?</c>

00:41:44.670 --> 00:41:46.010
That's<00:41:45.050><c> what</c><00:41:45.130><c> he</c><00:41:45.329><c> meant.</c>

00:41:46.409 --> 00:41:47.309
Yeah.

00:41:50.550 --> 00:41:53.190
But<00:41:50.949><c> you</c><00:41:51.349><c> have</c><00:41:51.570><c> to</c><00:41:51.690><c> ask</c><00:41:51.929><c> yourself</c><00:41:52.250><c> the</c><00:41:52.429><c> question,</c><00:41:52.789><c> don't</c><00:41:52.929><c> you?</c>

00:41:53.409 --> 00:41:55.489
Why<00:41:53.630><c> have</c><00:41:53.750><c> you</c><00:41:53.909><c> come?</c><00:41:54.590><c> Why</c><00:41:54.750><c> are</c><00:41:54.869><c> we</c><00:41:54.929><c> sitting</c><00:41:55.090><c> here</c><00:41:55.329><c> today?</c>

00:41:55.530 --> 00:41:57.210
Why<00:41:55.650><c> are</c><00:41:55.750><c> we</c><00:41:55.889><c> talking</c><00:41:56.050><c> about</c><00:41:56.269><c> the</c><00:41:56.429><c> Bible?</c>

00:41:58.590 --> 00:42:02.110
What<00:41:58.989><c> sort</c><00:41:59.170><c> of</c><00:41:59.309><c> decisions</c><00:41:59.670><c> are</c><00:41:59.869><c> we</c><00:41:59.989><c> going</c><00:42:00.090><c> to</c><00:42:00.269><c> make</c><00:42:00.570><c> as</c><00:42:00.929><c> a</c><00:42:01.510><c> consequence</c><00:42:01.949><c> of</c>

00:42:02.110 --> 00:42:03.949
having<00:42:02.329><c> come</c><00:42:02.590><c> to</c><00:42:02.750><c> Bible</c><00:42:03.090><c> school?</c>

00:42:04.610 --> 00:42:06.809
Is<00:42:04.909><c> it</c><00:42:05.010><c> going</c><00:42:05.090><c> to</c><00:42:05.210><c> make</c><00:42:05.349><c> any</c><00:42:05.670><c> difference</c><00:42:05.949><c> to</c><00:42:06.170><c> our</c><00:42:06.349><c> life</c><00:42:06.550><c> or</c><00:42:06.690><c> are</c>

00:42:06.809 --> 00:42:08.530
we<00:42:06.929><c> just</c><00:42:07.090><c> going</c><00:42:07.210><c> to</c><00:42:07.230><c> go</c><00:42:07.530><c> back</c><00:42:07.730><c> next</c><00:42:08.070><c> week</c>

00:42:08.530 --> 00:42:11.869
and<00:42:09.250><c> just</c><00:42:09.510><c> pick</c><00:42:09.670><c> up</c><00:42:09.809><c> where</c><00:42:09.969><c> we</c><00:42:10.150><c> left</c><00:42:10.329><c> off</c><00:42:10.769><c> and</c><00:42:11.110><c> be</c><00:42:11.349><c> exactly</c><00:42:11.670><c> the</c>

00:42:11.869 --> 00:42:15.150
same<00:42:11.989><c> as</c><00:42:12.130><c> we</c><00:42:12.309><c> were</c><00:42:12.650><c> before</c><00:42:13.929><c> we</c><00:42:14.150><c> came?</c>

00:42:16.610 --> 00:42:18.130
Hopefully<00:42:17.130><c> not.</c>

00:42:20.250 --> 00:42:26.789
So<00:42:20.769><c> if</c><00:42:21.289><c> we've</c><00:42:21.510><c> got</c><00:42:21.630><c> a</c><00:42:21.829><c> problem</c><00:42:22.409><c> in</c><00:42:25.550><c> life,</c>

00:42:27.710 --> 00:42:31.070
perhaps<00:42:27.929><c> when</c><00:42:28.110><c> we</c><00:42:28.150><c> get</c><00:42:28.309><c> to</c><00:42:28.469><c> the</c><00:42:28.530><c> end</c><00:42:28.670><c> of</c><00:42:28.849><c> the</c><00:42:28.909><c> week</c><00:42:29.269><c> we</c><00:42:29.510><c> might</c><00:42:29.869><c> tackle</c><00:42:30.190><c> that</c><00:42:30.469><c> problem</c><00:42:30.789><c> in</c><00:42:30.969><c> a</c>

different<00:42:31.269><c> way.</c>

00:42:33.849 --> 00:42:36.690
Perhaps<00:42:34.090><c> we</c><00:42:34.230><c> might</c><00:42:34.550><c> talk</c><00:42:34.809><c> about</c><00:42:35.030><c> that</c><00:42:35.309><c> later</c><00:42:35.570><c> in</c><00:42:35.730><c> the</c><00:42:35.829><c> week.</c>

00:42:37.070 --> 00:42:40.190
What<00:42:37.289><c> sort</c><00:42:37.510><c> of</c><00:42:37.730><c> problems</c><00:42:38.130><c> might</c><00:42:38.469><c> we</c><00:42:38.730><c> have</c><00:42:39.110><c> that</c><00:42:39.590><c> looking</c><00:42:39.989><c> at</c>

00:42:40.190 --> 00:42:43.929
the<00:42:40.269><c> story</c><00:42:40.570><c> of</c><00:42:40.789><c> Ruth</c><00:42:41.170><c> will</c><00:42:41.969><c> help</c><00:42:42.150><c> us</c><00:42:42.389><c> come</c><00:42:42.550><c> to</c><00:42:42.670><c> terms</c><00:42:42.949><c> with?</c>

00:42:44.489 --> 00:42:48.809
Perhaps<00:42:44.969><c> we</c><00:42:45.110><c> might</c><00:42:45.349><c> deal</c><00:42:45.570><c> with</c><00:42:45.730><c> our</c><00:42:45.949><c> problems</c><00:42:46.369><c> in</c><00:42:47.409><c> a</c><00:42:47.489><c> different</c><00:42:47.690><c> way.</c>

00:42:50.050 --> 00:42:52.010
Okay,<00:42:50.289><c> we're</c><00:42:50.449><c> going</c><00:42:50.550><c> to</c><00:42:50.630><c> finish</c><00:42:50.889><c> there.</c>

00:42:54.750 --> 00:42:58.269
I<00:42:55.230><c> think</c><00:42:55.489><c> we'll</c><00:42:56.289><c> pick</c><00:42:56.530><c> up</c><00:42:56.670><c> the</c><00:42:56.829><c> story</c><00:42:57.030><c> of</c><00:42:57.170><c> Ruth</c><00:42:57.369><c> tomorrow</c><00:42:57.909><c> now</c>

00:42:58.269 --> 00:43:01.869
