00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:35.340
We're<00:03:28.759><c> promised</c><00:03:29.379><c> that</c><00:03:30.340><c> if</c><00:03:30.539><c> we</c><00:03:31.080><c> love</c><00:03:31.699><c> our</c><00:03:32.659><c> God,</c><00:03:34.300><c> all</c><00:03:34.780><c> things</c>

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:57.300
And<00:03:52.360><c> so</c><00:03:52.580><c> it</c><00:03:52.699><c> is</c><00:03:53.259><c> the</c><00:03:53.680><c> case</c><00:03:54.159><c> with</c><00:03:54.599><c> Naomi</c><00:03:55.060><c> and</c><00:03:55.900><c> the</c><00:03:56.120><c> blessing</c><00:03:56.460><c> that</c><00:03:56.719><c> comes</c><00:03:57.000><c> out</c>

00:03:59.439 --> 00:03:59.860
Ruth.

00:04:00.340 --> 00:04:04.240
So<00:04:00.560><c> we</c><00:04:00.780><c> saw</c><00:04:01.000><c> in</c><00:04:01.199><c> our</c><00:04:01.360><c> last</c><00:04:01.639><c> class</c><00:04:01.960><c> a</c><00:04:02.300><c> family</c><00:04:02.699><c> that</c><00:04:03.400><c> was</c><00:04:03.759><c> tested</c>

00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.039
with<00:04:04.659><c> a</c><00:04:04.919><c> famine</c><00:04:05.280><c> that</c><00:04:05.960><c> they</c><00:04:06.199><c> might</c><00:04:06.419><c> return</c>

00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:15.139
But<00:04:09.659><c> instead</c><00:04:10.240><c> they</c><00:04:10.759><c> walked</c><00:04:11.060><c> away</c><00:04:11.580><c> from</c><00:04:11.879><c> their</c><00:04:12.219><c> God</c><00:04:12.520><c> and</c><00:04:13.219><c> hardened</c><00:04:13.680><c> their</c><00:04:14.120><c> ears.</c>

00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.959
A<00:04:15.340><c> family</c><00:04:15.699><c> who</c><00:04:16.040><c> sought</c><00:04:16.259><c> to</c><00:04:16.519><c> make</c><00:04:16.680><c> a</c><00:04:16.899><c> living</c><00:04:17.220><c> in</c><00:04:17.720><c> a</c><00:04:17.920><c> land</c><00:04:18.139><c> of</c><00:04:18.480><c> opulence,</c><00:04:19.800><c> but</c>

00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.379
they<00:04:20.259><c> lost</c><00:04:20.779><c> their</c><00:04:21.240><c> lives</c>

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.000
in<00:04:22.660><c> its</c><00:04:22.939><c> pursuit.</c>

00:04:24.180 --> 00:04:30.399
But<00:04:24.480><c> also</c><00:04:25.199><c> a</c><00:04:25.959><c> family</c><00:04:26.519><c> that</c><00:04:27.019><c> planted</c><00:04:27.379><c> a</c><00:04:27.740><c> seed</c><00:04:28.019><c> and</c><00:04:29.240><c> God</c><00:04:29.779><c> gave</c>

00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.100
the<00:04:30.860><c> increase.</c>

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:38.500
Once<00:04:32.600><c> Naomi</c><00:04:33.139><c> decided</c><00:04:33.899><c> to</c><00:04:34.279><c> turn</c><00:04:34.800><c> back</c><00:04:35.439><c> to</c><00:04:35.680><c> the</c><00:04:35.860><c> Lord,</c><00:04:36.459><c> God</c><00:04:36.800><c> worked</c><00:04:37.300><c> mightily</c><00:04:38.060><c> in</c>

00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:40.620
her<00:04:38.819><c> life</c><00:04:39.399><c> to</c><00:04:40.000><c> bring</c><00:04:40.279><c> her</c>

00:04:47.939 --> 00:04:53.100
And<00:04:48.180><c> unfortunately</c><00:04:48.939><c> three</c><00:04:49.439><c> quarters</c><00:04:49.839><c> of</c><00:04:50.100><c> that</c><00:04:50.319><c> ecclesia</c><00:04:51.079><c> perished</c><00:04:52.139><c> in</c>

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:07.519
But<00:05:02.600><c> Naomi</c><00:05:03.180><c> returns</c><00:05:04.620><c> with</c><00:05:05.220><c> this</c><00:05:05.740><c> woman</c><00:05:06.379><c> Ruth.</c>

00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.139
It's<00:05:16.180><c> interesting</c><00:05:16.639><c> in</c><00:05:16.839><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:05:17.399><c> 23,</c><00:05:18.480><c> which</c><00:05:18.680><c> we'll</c><00:05:18.879><c> look</c>

00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:22.639
at<00:05:19.579><c> now,</c><00:05:20.480><c> we'll</c><00:05:20.819><c> see</c><00:05:21.019><c> that</c><00:05:22.100><c> the</c><00:05:22.319><c> children</c>

00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:41.920
An<00:05:37.600><c> Ammonite</c><00:05:38.279><c> or</c><00:05:38.620><c> Moabite</c><00:05:39.300><c> shall</c><00:05:39.519><c> not</c><00:05:40.019><c> enter</c><00:05:40.379><c> into</c><00:05:40.660><c> the</c><00:05:40.939><c> congregation</c><00:05:41.620><c> of</c>

00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.220
forever.

00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:56.600
So<00:05:50.740><c> the</c><00:05:51.000><c> tenth</c><00:05:51.360><c> is</c><00:05:51.579><c> just</c><00:05:51.959><c> speaking</c><00:05:52.339><c> of</c><00:05:52.579><c> in</c><00:05:52.759><c> terms</c><00:05:53.100><c> of</c><00:05:53.879><c> all</c><00:05:54.279><c> encompassing,</c><00:05:56.100><c> forever</c><00:05:56.300><c> they</c>
