     | 8,106 views

    As you examine the lives of Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah, you find a picture of all people. Naomi represents a wayward believer; Orpah pictures one who was exposed and yet refused the gospel; Ruth is a picture of grace in salvation.

It is a picture of the world, much like that of Egypt in Scripture. Dwelling in the land of Moab will always result in separation and spiritual ...read more
