WHAT SET UP THE STAGE FOR THE BOOK OF RUTH?
If you look at the book of Judges, you get the idea:
1.A famine
2.Both in land and in Spirit
3.400 years repetition
4.A CYCLE of stupidity
They left and made a mistake... Bethlehem was a rich agricultural area (“House of Bread”), but times were tough, so he went to the pagan land of Moab… steps in the wrong direction.
KNOW THE MICAH 5:2 PROPHECY – WHAT IT IS AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN
The Book of Ruth was originally a part of the Book of Judges, but in A.D. 450 it was removed to become a book of its own.

Hebrew word “frankincense” means “pure or white”

MAGI:
They were not kings, but wise men, which means they were astronomers. There were not only three, but probably a great company. Probably from Persia, maybe from the school of Daniel.

Moses wrote the Book of Deuteronomy. These sermons were given during the 40-day period prior to Israel’s entering the Promised Land. The book of Deuteronomy was given to remind them of God’s law and God’s power.
“Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.” (Deuteronomy 4:2) The Israelites are commanded to remember four things: God’s faithfulness, God’s holiness, God’s blessings, and God’s warnings.
JOSHUA: We are clued in to the fact that the one identified as the “commander of the Lord’s army” is not simply an angel because Joshua worships Him and is not rebuked for it (Josh. 5:13–15). Since the Bible is not afraid to condemn people for worshiping creaturely angels (Rev. 22:8–9), this being in Joshua 5 must be none other than God Himself.
