Biblical Personages
The
Story of Rut
by Richard Fix, written August 2005
Have you been taught that the Moabitess Ruth, the daughter-in-law of Naomi, was a Moabite? Yes, that is the question. It is neither intended as jocular nor facetious, although it may well be rhetorical. The premise that Ruth must be a descendant of Moab is no longer uncontested. Read Why!

Is there a Canaanite in the ancestry of David and Jesus (Yeshua)? Did Rahab, the harlot of Jericho, marry Salmon and become the mother of Boaz? Could the theologians and scholars be wrong? Did they miss something? What???? This article investigates the biblical accounts without the eye of preconception or tradition and undoes the scriptural conflict we just assumed had no answer.

Who is the Elijah? Has he already come? Is “Elijah” that “Elijah the prophet”? Who are the “Fathers” and “sons” in Malachi 4? Surprising new Biblical information which you may have never considered, is presented in this article.

Do we really understand why God included the book of Esther in the Bible? Have we totally mischaracterized the role of the King in the book? Could he represent a savior rather than part the problem for the Jews? This article demonstrates the shallow depth of understanding of the “scholarly community” as well as their considerable disregard for reconciling scripture with known historical information. They don’t even blink at force fitting scripture to conform to their own ‘urban legends’.
