Thanks for this thread. I am in the middle of reading Francine Rivers’ “Lineage of Grace” going over the lives of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary. I realize it maybe light weight, but I always have to be reading a novel, so my new genre is Christian Historical Fiction. I am always interested in any recommendations of books.

That sounds great. Rahab and Ruth were Gentiles and only God could put them in the line of Christ. Tamar's story is really interesting. The things she did and the things Judah did. How amazing is all of that?

While you are studying those books, keep this in mind JOE...

.The Greek Philosophy pegs prophecy as "Predict and fulfill."

The Jewish Philosphy pegs Prophecy as  "Predict and Pattern"

Notice all the patterns throughout the Book.  The kindsmen redeemer is just one pattern that leads all the way to Jesus Christ.

That is an excellent observation. We had a missionary to the Jews at our church many years ago. He demonstrated the Passover Feast. It was stunning to see Jesus throughout the entire process. I kept wondering how the Jews could miss it. It is the blindness for sure. Thank God it is only a partial blindness.
