A Promised RedeemerIn the same breath as God cursed the serpent because of the Fall, He promised a Redeemer (Gen 3:15). The Redeemer would restore all that was lost through Adam. But, early on, it's not looking good. God proclaimed through His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that one of their offspring would be the One to redeem mankind. Jacob claimed this promise when He prophesied that the Redeemer would come through one of his twelve sons - namely Judah (Gen 49:8-12). The fulfillment of the promised Redeemer seems to become derailed when Judah's sons die without children (Gen 38:1-10). But, God's loyal-love and providential intervention resulted in the birth of Perez. Some 400 years pass and the Messianic promises come under attack. The tribe of Judah is facing extinction. It appears that Boaz, a godly man, will die childless. But once again, God remains loyal to His promise and brings a gentile widow to Bethlehem to become his wife. Their union results in a child who will be the grandfather of King David (Ruth 4:17-22).
