Ruth 2:5-7: Who is this woman?

Rth 2:5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

This is close to a parable of Jesus Christ in Matthew 22 regarding the king and the wedding feast. Someone is present that the king does not know. In that case, the outcome for the stranger was not desirable.

So here we have Boaz (the meaning of his name is disputed, but it likely carries with it a meaning of strength, or force), asking the reaper supervisor about this strange woman. She was there at the house with the reapers.

Interesting.

Will you be with the reapers at the harvest? Will you be found among the angels in the mansion of Him whose name is Strength? And if during this time of rest, you are found there, what will be said of you?

Rth 2:6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:

When Moab was born, he was so named because Moab means, of his father. Ruth (companion) accompanied Naomi (my delight). Would it be wonderful to be said of you are of the Father? Have you been a true companion to the One whose name is My Delight?

Do these verses overflow or what?

Rth 2:7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

Here is where we know about the house that was there that I mentioned earlier.

Here we get what Ruth told the head reaper as he relates to Boaz what she said. Being among the poor, she asked for the leftover and forgotten sheaves, which were also hers by God-given right.

There is a message here for those who get left out and for those who go unnoticed. There is a Companion, who is of His Father, and is also the Father's Delight. He specializes in seeking out such as these. Do you qualify?

1Cor 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1Cor 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1Cor 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1Cor 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
