A LITTLE book abounding with typical instruction concerning Israel, and presenting the line of genealogical descent as to Messiah from Phares of Judah to David. (Chapter 4:18-22)
It well follows Judges, as it opens with Israel in a time of famine, but plenty and blessing are ultimately brought in by Boaz, type of Him who will by and by bring the ruined, scattered, and impoverished nation into permanent blessing, not on the principle of nature or law, but in the way of grace, through redemption. Then it will be truly seen that it was expedient "that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not." (John 11:5050Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. (John 11:50))
