📖 The World of Ruth and Esther: Context, Customs, and Symbols
Why does it matter that Ruth gleaned in the fields? Why was Esther’s position in the Persian palace so critical?
In this Supplemental Episode of Bible Talk Insight, we travel back in time to understand the world these women lived in. When we grasp the customs, culture, and context of the Bible, God’s Word comes alive with deeper meaning.
🕰️ Learn about:
· The time of the Judges and the famine that drove Naomi’s family to Moab
· The powerful role of the kinsman-redeemer and what that symbolized
· Life under the Persian Empire and the significance of Shushan’s palace
· What it meant to sit at the “gate” in ancient cities
· How these settings and customs point to themes in Bible prophecy
🔍 We also explore how the symbolism of a woman, a gate, and a decree unfold in the broader prophetic picture of the Great Controversy.
💡 This is your guide to understanding why these details matter—and how they reveal Christ’s redemptive plan.
🙏 Stick around to the end as we pray for courage, faith, and trust in Jesus.
