The First and the Last.

The Women in Christ's Genealogy.

The Perfection of the Lamb of God slain before the foundation of the world, is God's Perfect Lamb, the Man Christ Jesus.  Make no further mistake: For the Almighty God dwells in timeless Eternity and from Eternity, Elohim knew that sin would come into His creation and defile Adam and His wife, Ishshah.  Yahweh the Almighty, knowing all things that would take place in His creation of time, made His Provision for Salvation of mankind even before the world came to be in existence.  Yahweh's Lamb would be perfect and in no way would He be compromised by flaws.  So it is with Yeshua/Jesus the Christ of God, for He IS God's Lamb from the beginning, and in no way could God's WORD of TRUTH be compromised with damning flaws that would completely undermine God's Salvation work that had to be Perfect IN Yahweh's Perfection.  The genetics of Adam were not flawed when God created him, male and female, so then neither could the genetics of the TRUTH of the WORD of God be flawed in Messiah's  Genetics from Ishshah, the wife from Adam's side.  

God's LIFE giving Spirit of Holiness. overshadowed the virgin Mary with the Eternal's Shekinah Glory, and brought God's Holy Spirit of LIFE to the innocent Lamb of God, and He was born the Perfect incarnate Son of God, Male and Female, and was named Yeshua, meaning Yahweh Saves.  

The following four women; Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba are all correctly listed in Luke's account of the Word of God, and they are of the 73 generations of the genetically pure women outlined in the Hebrew ancestry of Mary the mother of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ.  We can not but proclaim the Eternal TRUTH of God's Word, for we know to be an absolute surety that these specifically named women, all had to be genetically pure from their lineage from God's creation of Ishshah/Woman XX taken from the side of the first Adam XY.  Yahweh God is purely HOLY and it is impossible for the darkness of sin to come into the Light of His Presence: Therefore the Lamb of God slain before the foundation of the world, must be born in time from the pure gene pool of the XX lineage from Ishshah, the name of Adam's wife before the fall, and 73 generations later an X chromosome of Ishshah would  be impregnated by the Spirit of God to be of the Last Adam, Jesus Christ as the Perfect Son of God.

These named women are all in the genetic lineage of Jesus Christ from the pure genetic seed of Ishshah, the given name of the wife of Adam before the fall of Man/Adam.  It was after the first Adam and his wife Ishshah's insurrection to the Word of God that they were expelled from the Garden of Eden and after that time Adam then changed the name of his wife, Ishshah, to that of Eve. ^{(See Genesis 3 verse 20.)} And Adam called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of life.

The Almighty God of Covenant is faithful to His WORD of TRUTH, therefore the genetic seed of Ishshah, taken from the side of God's creation of Man, would be finalized within the ovum, X chromosome of the virgin Mary when she gave birth to the incarnate Christ of God, Jesus, the Son of Man, and the very Last of Adam's genetic kind.  It is impossible for Jesus Christ, Yeshua haMashiach, the very Person of the Holy WORD of God to be a generic man with the corrupted genetics from the hybridized children from, anyone of the women taken as wives by the B'nai haElohim.  Being One with the Eternal Holy Word of Elohim, then the Holy One of God that was slain as a Lamb before the foundation of the world, had to be of the pure genetic seed of God's very good creation of Adam, male and female.  And so the first female came from the pure genetics that Elohim God took from the side of Adam/Man, and God formed her from Adam's X chromosome, and the Almighty named the female with her XX chromosomes, Ishshah/Woman .  It is this female genetic seed of Adam's wife Ishshah, that will become impregnated with the Spirit of the Holy Word of God, so that the Last representative Adam, would be born in the image and likeness of His Holy Father Yahweh, and Emmanuel, Yeshua/Jesus would crush the head of the serpent of evil, renamed Satan from that of Lucifer.  All of the Women IN the Lineage of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, were of the Pure undefiled Genetics of the first Man Adam through His Wife Ishshah.

The Wisdom of God was to hide the secret of the whole of the matter of His Salvation of human kind from the corrupting wisdom of the satanic princes of the air.   God's Word is Faithful, and Elohim would oversee His creation of time, and protect the genetics of His first creation of Man/Adam through all of the Hebraic women represented in the above  four women of genetic purity.  Quite naturally, all of the other unnamed Hebrew women with their husbands, were vessels of the Seed of God's WORD, until the Infinite's Incarnate WORD of TRUTH was fulfilled in the Hebrew virgin Mary.  To say the least, an immediate full disclosure of the Living Power of the Almighty's WORD, was not in the best interest to His WORD of Salvation that brings the restoration of all things.  The secret things of God remained sequestered within the Mind of Eternity, until His Salvation would give the Promise of Life to all that would come to Yahweh's Mediating Salvation Gift IN Christ Jesus.  ^{(Read again 1st Corinthians 2 verse 7 thru 11.)}

Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh God Almighty is Infallible, and the Eternal Creator God is Faithful to the precision of His WORD given in the Garden of Eden, for in the beginning of His creation was the WORD, and nothing was made without Him. ^{(See John 1 verse 1 thru 4.)} Selah!

Unfortunately, there are those philosophical teachers who see themselves as wise in their own eyes of flesh, and erroneously teach that these four women, are of Canaanite blood calling them gentiles.  Ironically, these teachers of their own philosophy mistakenly judge for themselves that Canaanite women are quite acceptable in Christ's genetic lineage. These religious philosophers, along with other minds of copy cat flesh, have not done Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh God Almighty a favor with their explanation that accommodates their own vanity, but they have cast dispersions upon the absolute TRUTH of the WORD of God. These teachings of the hybridization of the Person of the TRUTH of the WORD of God are heretical to the Salvation Word that Elohim established in the Garden of Eden. ^{(See Genesis 3 verse 15.)} This wisdom of the flesh produces self generating lies that are birthed in the wisdom of the father of lies.  Satan, from the beginning of his iniquitous pride, has sought to discredit the Holy WORD of God Almighty and that of the Almighty's Righteous Judgment.  What ever means is good with him, for the self generate lust of Satan, makes him desire to be exalted like the most High God.  Lucifer, with his cunning, first planted his seed of insurrection within the angelic sons of God, and many followed after him into the corruption of the self seeking soul.  Then after Elohim created Man/Adam in His image and likeness, Satan brought sin's deception into the eyes of Adam's mind of self seeking flesh, and then in Adam's treason against his Maker, the likeness of God's Spirit left Adam and his wife Ishshah.     

The vanity of the mind of human flesh remains evident in our thoughts and actions of our flesh, and so the flesh's leading of man is never justified before Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty.  Eternally, God is Holy, and in His Holiness, He is absolutely Just and Righteous from all time.  If you can begin to fathom the WORD of the only Eternal God, then you should know that His WORD  of TRUTH cannot fail because of His Infinite Holiness that abounds only in His WAY of LIFE, where death has no grounds for existence. 

Those who profess that they are Christians and are full of the spirit, have deceived themselves and are deceivers of others, when they ignorantly discredit the instructions for LIFE from the Just and Holy WORD of God,  Only the pride of our flesh would speak about being full of the spirit; but then what spirit is promoting itself and influencing our errors of separation?  If we say we have no sin then we deceive ourselves and the TRUTH is not in us.

The Holy Spirit of Yahweh God Almighty is the Spirit of TRUTH and Light, and within the Almighty God there is no darkness or shadow what so ever.  If we do not speak the TRUTH of God, then we are promoting darkness, and make ourselves instruments of darkness, and not of Light. ^{(Consider the 10 virgins, where 5 of the virgins were foolish.)} Confusion reigns in darkness, and darkness is not in the Spirit of Christ Jesus. ^{(See 1st John 1 verse 5 thru 10.)} But if we acknowledge our sins, God is faithful and just to remit our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  For if we walk in the Light, as He is the Light, then we have Communion one with another, and The Blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanses us from all sin.  Please notice that in the Communion Blood of Jesus Christ, God Almighty is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us from all confessed unrighteousness.

The Word of God is not subject to the vacillating philosophies of human vanity that tramples on the TRUTH of God's unfailing Word.  We should understand that from the beginnings of God's Gift of faith, God's Word can not fail in the least bit, otherwise TRUTH would not exist, and God's Word would have no foundation of holiness, for the Law of Sin and Death in the earth, would bring its corruption and consume all things.  And yet consider the present visual evidence: The heavens continue to declare the Glory and Power of God, and the TRUTH of the universe continues to exist on the sure foundation of God's Holy WORD.  God's Holy WORD of TRUTH is revealed in the beginning of His creation, and is the absolute foundation of all that exists.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The Same [Word] was in the beginning with God. 

All things were made by Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made.  In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of Men.  He, ^{[The Word]} was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.  He ^{[The Word]} came unto His own people, ^{[Promised Generational Seed of Jacob/Israel]} but His own people received Him not.  ^{(See John 1 verse 1 thru 11.)}

The Word of God stands as The TRUTH for ever, for the I AM the TRUTH does not change in the least bit to accommodate the conjectures of the little human gods of corrupted flesh.  Yahweh God has magnified His Holy Word of TRUTH far above His Holy Name to reveal that He is the unchangeable Foundation of TRUTH. ^{(See Psalm 138 verse 2.)} Even before the Infinite's universal creation of time, God's Covenant is within His Word, and His Holy Word does not change; for Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty is One in Spirit with His Word that proceeds from Him, and the Truth of the Word of God does not change within the Essence of His Holiness.

I am sure that you have heard this saying; "A man is only as good as his word".  We would understand that a man's reputation is tied to his name, and his name is at stake according to his keeping of his word.  The Name of God and His reputation has been challenged by the entities of His creation, and for this reason we read: For You have magnified Your Word above all of Thy Name.  ^{(See Psalm 38 verse 2.)} The Word of God has infinite implications and His most magnificent Name is tied to His Word of TRUTH.  Jesus Christ, the Expressed Word and TRUTH of His Father says of the Words that He speaks: Think not that I AM come to destroy the Law, or the prophets: I AM not come to destroy, but to fulfill.  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled. ^{(See Matthew 5 verse 17 thru 18.)}  God's Word did not fail in one jot or one tittle of the Torah or the Words of the prophets, else heaven and earth would have already passed away into oblivion.  Christ Jesus is the True Word of His Father Yahweh God for He became human flesh from the genetic seed of Woman/Ishshah, and then God's Word, as Man, was crucified and put to death on the cross, but Glory be to Yahweh God, Jesus/Yeshua defeated death in His resurrection through the Power of the Spirit of His Holy Father God.

For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My Mouth: My Word shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and My Word shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  ^{(See Isaiah 55 verse 8 thru 11.)}

My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My Lips.  Once have I sworn by My Holiness that I will not lie unto David.  His Seed (Christ Jesus) shall endure for ever, and His throne as the sun before Me.  It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. ^{(See Psalm 89 verse 34 thru 37.)} 

The Son of His Holy Father Yahweh God declares: The prince of this world comes, but has nothing in Me. ^{(John 14 verse 30.)}

Satan the lord of the flies, will be left speechless in his accusations against the Lamb of God, for not even the genetics of Jesus Christ can testify to any form of satanic corruption.  The Infinite God Almighty has spoken His Word of TRUTH, therefore, as He has spoken, so shall He bring His Word to pass, precisely as He intended in His creation.  We are to know for a certainty that God will always perform His Word, for His Word of TRUTH will not see failure in the least jot or tittle of the Torah's Instructions.  For those who have strayed from God's strait path WAY of TRUTH, then humbly come to Yahweh's Table of Grace, Where  God's Spirit of Grace will give of God's New Covenant Provision in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, that will assuage the guilt of sin from the earthly nature of our self seeking flesh.  The unseen TRUTH of God's New Covenant is found in the Life Giving Blood of the Man, Yeshua/Jesus, the Christ and Only Begotten Son of God.

And the Word of Elohim became the flesh of Adam

The first Adam was created as a son in the image and 'likeness' of Elohim, but with his traitorous unbelief in the Word of his Creator God, the Holy Spirit of Life departed from Adam, leaving Adam without the 'likeness' of his Creator.  Adam's treachery brought death to all of his prodigy, and the dominion of the earth was in the hands of the prince of death.  With the failure of the first Man/Adam being a son, it was absolutely necessary for the Last Adam, to be of the genetic flesh of the first Man/Adam.  Jesus Christ, the True Bread of Heaven and the Promise of Life, came down to be born in the nature of the flesh of the first Adam, and as a Son was faithful in His Love and Obedience to the Word of God His Father.  The Word of God, became the True genetic Son of the first Man Adam, but He ^{(the Word of God)} was conceived by the Holy Spirit of His Father God, and in His birth became Emanuel in the Likeness of His Father; for indeed, the God of the Living is with us, and for us. 

The Holiness of God's WORD of Truth would maintain unto the very last, the physical genetics of the flesh of the first Adam/Man, within the female XX chromosomal genetics of Adam's wife, whom he first named Ishshah meaning Woman.  It was after their rebellion in the Garden, and the loss of the Spirit of Life in God, that Adam changed the name of his wife from Ishshah to that of Eve.  And Adam called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of life. ^{(Genesis 3 verse 20.)} The philosophical commentaries with the generic implications of the common woman to be in the genetics of Jesus Christ are grossly false, for they change the Word of God into the lying corruption of sin.  The unfailing Truth is in God's unfailing Word, and God's genetic order of His unfailing Word will become His Excellent Word of Salvation born in the form of the sinful flesh of the first Man Adam.  Holy Yahweh God would bring forth His Man born of His Spirit, through the incarnation of His Word, of the genetic seed of Adam's wife Ishshah/WoMan, to be conceived in the chromosomal seed of the Hebrew virgin of Adam's flesh.  The Seed of Ishshah/Woman would be carried forth through the generation's of the first Adam to be born from the womb of the virgin Mary as the Salvation of humanity, and Jesus, the Christ of Yahweh God, would be the very Last Adam of the first genetic Man/Adam.   

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty, will maintain the purity and the precision of His Word that has created all things in His universe.  Just as Yahweh God Almighty faithfully sustains His universe with His WORD, so He is faithful to His WORD of Salvation that glorifies God in the genetic form of the sinful flesh derived from the first Adam.  Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His Name Immanuel. ^{(See Isaiah 7 verse 14 thru 16)} Yahweh God has given His sign, for by His Holy Spirit, His Faithful Word was conceived in the ovum of a virgin woman of Shemitic genetics, for she was perfect within her physical generations going back to the genetics of Adam.  And God called Him Emanuel: For unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given. ^{(See Isaiah 9 verse 6 thru 7.)}  Father, the hour is come; Glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may Glorify Thee: As Thou has given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal Life to as many as Thou has given Him. ^{(See John 17 verse 1 thru 3.)} For God sending His Own Son in the likeness (image) of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in His flesh.  ^{(See Romans 8 verse 2 thru 4.)} For unto the Son, Yahweh said: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.  A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.  Thou has loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore even Thy God, has anointed Thee with the oil of gladness, above Thy fellows. ^{(See Psalm 45 verse 2 thru 7 and all of Hebrews 1 verse 1 thru 14.)}

Jesus, the Christ of God, being the Covenant Word of God, was foreordained before the foundation of the world, and would come into this world within the beginning order of God, in the flesh of a true genetic Man, born from the genetic seed of Ishshah, precisely, as Elohim had ordained in the Garden of Eden.  God would over see His Covenant Word, and in the Eternal's time, the Promised Seed would be birthed in a generational virgin daughter of Adam.  My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My Lips.  Once have I sworn  by My holiness that I will not lie unto David.  His Seed (Christ Jesus) shall endure for ever, and His throne as the sun before Me.  It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a Faithful Witness in heaven. ^{(See Psalm 89 verse 34 thru 37.)} 

David understood God's holy oath, even as Elohim had previously spoke in the Garden, and then gave His Covenant Word to Noah and then to Abraham, that the Covenant Seed of Ishshah would be of absolute necessity of the genetics of the first Man Adam.  For the first the Adam/Man Elohim originally created, in His own image and likeness.  God would watch over His Word through out generations, overseeing that the genetic seed of Man/Adam, would proceed through the loins of David, a generational son of Adam, and his Jewish wife Bathsheba, a generational daughter of the first Adam.  The Spirit of the Word of God would perpetuate Elohim's Covenant, until the Messiah would be born as a generational Son of Adam, from the ovum seed of a WoMan.  But now this Seed that is born of flesh, is conceived in the image and likeness of His Father the Lord God Almighty.  Any variant or vacillating change in God's given Word, whether by angels or men, let alone by Holy God, is impossible for the Sustainer of Truth. 

For, in Jesus Christ, we have redemption through His Blood, even the forgiveness [remission] of sins:  Who is the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn before every creature: For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:  All things were created by Him, and for Him:  And He is before all things, and by Him [Jesus Christ] all things consist. ^{(See Colossians 1 verse 13 thru 17.)} 

When Jesus Christ, Yeshua ha Machiah, says: I AM the Way, The Truth and the Life of men, then know this for a certainty, that The Truth created all things, and all things consist of The Truth, and without the constancy of the Truth nothing would exist.  From the beginning of creation, failure is not in the Word of God, nor does He change or stumble over that which He has spoken.  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Torah, till all be fulfilled. ^{(Matthew 5 verse 18.)}

The Scriptures, say that: He (Jesus, the True Light of creation) was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not; He came unto His own [elect], and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He Power [the Holy Spirit of God] to become the sons of God, even to those that believe on His Name, which are born, not of blood, nor of the will of man, but of the will of God. ^{(See John 1 verse 6 thru 13.)}

Jesus the Promised Messiah came unto His own people of Israel, and His own people did not receive Him as the Promised Word of His Father, God Almighty.  Jesus, the incarnate Seed, born of the flesh of Ishshah WoMan was of the pure Hebrew Blood of Abraham, a son of Adam,  and not of the hybridized corruption of the Jews of that day and there after.  Jesus Christ, the WORD of GOD is a true genetic Hebrew Israelite, the Last Adam, conceived of the Word of God, for He was not a common genetic variant of genetically corrupted humanity.  It is inconvenient to our pride, to consider the truth of Genesis 6, but nevertheless, the genetic corruption of human kind, was initiated by the seeding of women from wicked angelic beings that have fought against the immutability of God's Word.  Even after God sends the flood to destroy the corruption of flesh, God would allow for the corrupted seed to continue to exist, and propagate its self with its intermingling with all of human kind thru the children begotten of Ham and his hybrid carrier wife.     

Every jot and tittle of the Word of God shall come to pass:  For the Word of God, Jesus Himself says:  Think not that I AM come to destroy the Law [Torah], or the prophets.  I AM not come to destroy, but to fulfill.  ^{(See Matthew 5 verse 17 thru 20.)}  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. ^{(See full context Matthew 24 verse 32 thru 35.)} For it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the Torah to fail.  ^{(See Luke 16 verse 15 thru 18.)} The constancy of God's Word remains eternally Truth, and must be fulfilled, or else the universe and all of its contents would come to an end.

In this matter, we should understand that God's Covenant Word is not with the heaven's and the earth of His creation, but with His Covenant Word that He gave as a Promise in the Garden of Eden.  That Word of God shall not pass away.  The seed of Ishshah/WoMan, of the first Man Adam, through the Spirit of God, shall come to be the Last Adam, and fulfill God's Covenant Word precisely as Elohim has declared.  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.  ^{(1 Corinthians 2 verse 7 thru 8.)}

The Lord Jesus Christ was born of the flesh of Man/Adam conceived in the promised Covenant Seed of a virgin generational daughter of Abraham: But the children of Jacob/Israel, did not receive Jesus as one of their own people, let alone the Promised Covenant Word of God.  It is impossible for that Covenant Seed of God to be of the cursed bloodlines of Ham's sons, Canaan, Cush, Mizrain or Phut.  The Covenant seed of Ishshah, that God ordained in the Garden of Eden, was made known to Noah, and Noah entered God's Covenant in obedience before the flood of destruction.  After the flood, the Covenant seed of God was numbered in Noah's blessed son Shem.  God would oversee that the promised lineage of Ishshah's genetics taken from Adam, would continue to be propagated through Shem's lineage nine generations later to Abraham, and then to his son Isaac, and his son, Jacob, whose name, God changed to Israel.  Then, through that same Genetic DNA Seed of Israel, God would maintain His Garden Covenant Promise, through Israel's son, Judah, and then protect His Covenant Word through David's genetic Shemetic Seed, until the Messiah of God's Covenant Word, would be made one with the seed of Mary, a virgin daughter of Israel's seed. 

Scripture further declares: Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He [Jesus] also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him [Satan] that had the power of death, that is, the devil:  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.  For verily He [Jesus] took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.  For in that He Himself had suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted. ^{(Hebrews 2 verse 14 thru 18.)}  The Christ of God, became the Son of Adam, through the Spirit of God, impregnating the Covenant seed of Abraham's generational great granddaughter, Mary.  The virgin Mary provided the female half of the genome of Man, or the ovum seed of the first WoMan, with its 23 Chromosomes, while God, through His Spirit, germinated that ovum with the one Y sex Chromosome that made the Word and Son of God, male in the flesh, as the Son of Man, joined as one in the genetic female seed of that virgin WoMan Mary.  And now the Word of the Father, was made of the genetic flesh of Abraham, a son of Adam, and dwelt among His very own brethren of the flesh, as Emanuel, meaning God is with us. ^{{See John 1 verse 14.)}

God does not change, for the Covenant Word has gone out of His mouth, even in the Garden of Eden, and will accomplish that which He has purposed.  For when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He swore by Himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.  And so, after he had patiently endured, he [Abraham] obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the greater:  And an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.  Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge, to lay hold upon the hope set before us: ^{(Hebrews 6 verse 13 thru 18.)}

When extending His Covenant with Abraham, God has sworn by His Holiness, and will not repent of His Covenant Word that He gave in the Garden of Eden.  Jesus Christ, Yeshua haMashiach is of eternal necessity the genetic seed of Ishshah, the first WoMan, born of God as the Kinsman Redeemer of Israel and humanity, and came into this world to crush the head of the prince of this world.   And Balaam took up his parable, and said: Rise up, Balak, and hear:  Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor.  God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of Man, that he should repent.  Has He said, and shall He not do it?  Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?   Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and He has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.  ^{(Numbers 23 verse 18 thru 20.)} The Almighty God Loves/Agape His Son, the Word made flesh, and will not confound The Truth of His Word with confusion, even as He had prepared a Body for His Christ.  ^{(See Hebrews 10 verse 5.)} Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of Me, I delight to do Thy will, O My God: Yea, Thy law is within My heart.  I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: Lo, I have not refrained My lips, O Lord, Thou knowest.  ^{(Psalm 40 verse 7 thru 9.)}

Jesus Christ, the Son of Adam reveals The Truth of God's Salvation Word with these following Words:  Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in Me, or as the N.R.S.V. states:  he (Satan) has no power over Me; or as the NIV renders that same verse: he has no hold over Me. But that the world may know that I Love/Agapeo the Father; and as the Father gave Me Commandment, even so I do. ^{(See John 14 verse 30 thru 31.)} Satan, the prince of this world, can find nothing in Jesus Christ to lay claim to Him.  And for our understanding, not even the Lord's genetics can be questioned, for Jesus is fully the Son of Man/Adam, through the Seed of Ishshah/WoMan, having been conceived by the Spirit of His Father Yahweh, to be the only begotten Son of God.  It is impossible for the Word of God to be of the hybrid seeding of the corrupted angelic beings.  Understand, that if Christ was not all that the Almighty God has said of His Word, then God has failed, because His Word, the Christ of God has failed, and Satan has elevated himself above the Word of God.  The undisputed fact remains that heaven and earth have not passed away and the only begotten of the Father God Almighty, was conceived by the Spirit of the Word of Yahweh God within the genetic seed that came from the first WoMan/Ishshah.  Christ Jesus, the Word of God, obviously is NOT CONCEIVED by the hybridized mixture of the Angelic corruption into the genetics of man.  The pure genetic seed within Ishshah, the beginning name of Adam's wife, will be in the genetics of all of the Women in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.  God created the race of Man, and the race of Man/Adam is in that genetic seed which God maintained in the women before Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and all the women in between and up until the Hebrew Virgin Mary gave birth to the Last Adam, Jesus Christ, God's only Salvation of man kind.

(Study again The Human Genome Corruption, with the Genetic Question Mark.) These links are not very flattering to the pretentious flesh of corrupted human kind, now called Homo sapiens.

Not any of the women in the lineage of Jesus Christ can be of the mutant genetics of Ham's offspring. To maintain God's Covenant made in the Garden, the forefathers from Noah to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, knew that God's chosen people could not take for themselves to wife, any woman of Canaanite blood.  Abraham's wife Sarah was Shemitic, and gave birth to Isaac.  Abraham made his servant swear that he would not seek a daughter of the Canaanites for a wife for Isaac, but the servant would go to the family of Abraham's brother Nahor, and there find a wife for his son, Isaac.  So then  Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, Abraham's brother,  became Isaac's Shemitic wife.  Then Rebekah gave birth to twins, Esau and Jacob, but Jacob was to be blessed.  Isaac hearing the council of Rebekah, called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him saying "Thou shall not take a wife of the daughter of Canaan.  Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel, thy mother's father, and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother". ^{(See Genesis 28 verse 1 thru 4.)} Laban had two daughters, Leah and Rachel.  Jacob loved Rachel and desired to marry her, but Laban thru trickery, coerced Jacob to marry both of his daughters.  Jacob married both women in the bloodlines of Shem, Noah's son.  In the Covenant lineage of the tribes of Israel, the man was not allowed to take a wife outside of the family of Israel, and certainly was not allowed to marry a daughter of the Canaanites or of the seed of Ham's other 3 sons.

Knowing that God's Word can not fail, we will confront the heretical opinions that cause confusion in God's Word.  The four named women that are reported to be in the Davidic lineage of Jesus Christ, absolutely have to be of the pure genetics of the first Adam/Man.  In the following treatises of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba, we will examine each one of these women, to see if they indeed meet the criteria of the Seed of Ishshah/WoMan, of which God declared in the Garden of Eden would crush the head of wickedness.  To meet Holy, Holy, Holy God's high standards of restoration of all things to that of His very good order, then the Savior of human kind, absolutely had to be of the genetically pure seed of Adam, the first Man.  The first Adam was created in the image and likeness of God, but the Last Adam or Man, was not only genetically like the first Man, but the Christ of God, was born through the Spirit with the Seed of Life from His Holy, Holy, Holy Father God, the Almighty.  The first Adam was made; but the Last Adam was virgin Born of His Father's Seed.

Together, we will investigate further the true lineage of these four mentioned women, that are indeed, from the genetic race from Noah's son Shem, who is a genetic son from Adam.  We will provide evidence, that would refute the commentaries of mistaken teachers of scripture, even though the evidence is camouflaged in hidden depths of the Wisdom of God.

This treatise on Rahab is a continuation of thoughtful research, initiated in the beginning chapter The Biblical Women in the Genealogy of Jesus Christ. The Truth confirms that the Covenant WORD of God spoken by Elohim in the Garden of Eden is unchangeable and His WORD is fulfilled within the Last Adam, Jesus Christ, for He is the Only Begotten Son of God.  Consider the genetic lineage of these four women Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba, and understand absolutely that they are each in the lineage of the pure genetics of the first Adam taken from Adam's side, as Ishshah/Woman, and not of the satanically mingled and corrupted genetics of the wife of Ham.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing (matter): but the honor of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25 verse 2.)

Judah, being Leah's fourth son from Jacob, unknowingly would be selected by God, to continue Abraham's genetic lineage of man that would end with the promised Messiah, being the generational Son of Man, and the only begotten Son of God.  However, when Judah and his brothers sold Joseph to the Midianites,  Judah, then left his other guilty brothers behind, and went south, so as to assuage and hide from his own guilt.  And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. ^{(Genesis 38 verse 1.)} The name of Hirah means "noble race or noble family" having a sense of splendor.  Now consider that beforehand, God Himself, changed the name of Abraham's wife Sarai, meaning princess, to that of Sarah, having the meaning "noble woman".   A  fuller understanding of the meaning of Sarah's God given name, attest to her "having been assigned power".  Sarah, like her husband Abraham, as a son in the perfect genetic lineage of Noah, was perfect in her generations, carrying the seed of Ishshah/Woman, the original first name of the wife of Adam/Man.  The Creation Power of the Salvation Word of God was in Sarah, and God would bring to fruition that which the Almighty has spoken.

It would be apparent that Hirah, although living in the town of Adullam, would have been known before hand by Judah, and probably would have been very familiar to the family of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, if not part of it.  We suggest that when you come to the end of this investigation that the name that is tied to the noble family of Hirah, will logically have importance significance. 

It is in the town of Adullam, where Judah, looking to ease and distract his conscience, sees and took for himself the daughter of a certain Canaanite man.  The scripture's, transliterated into English, are some what ambiguous as to whether the Canaanite man is named Shuah or his daughter. The Septuagint implies that the daughter of the Canaanite man is named Sava.  In any case, the blood line of the daughter is Canaanite.

When the Canaanite's daughter conceived of Judah, she gave birth to a son, and then she became Judah's wife.  When the Canaanite wife of Judah, gave birth to Judah's first born son, Judah called his name Er.  Judah's wife then again conceived, and bore another son for Judah, whom she named Onan. Then finally, the wife of Judah conceived a last time, and delivered a son, while Judah was in Chezib, the town having a meaning of "false" with a root of "a liar".  I wonder what Judah was doing in Chezib, while his wife was pregnant and giving birth to their youngest son.   Apparently, while Judah was tending to his own personal business, his wife, being alone, named Judah's son Shelah . ^{(See Genesis 38 verse 2 thru 5.)}

On the Map, Chezib is noted by the red pinpoint, and by its other name as Aczib.  Also, on the map, we can see its relative proximity to the two other towns of Adullam and Timnah that are in the scripture narrative.

When Er, the eldest son, was of age, Judah sought a wife for him, and her name was Tamar.  Tamar's name means palm trees, and the palm or date trees were noted to grow especially well and upright in the area of Engedi and Adullam.  It is interesting that Tamar's family lineage is not mentioned in the scriptural account, but only surmised by theologians. However, as the story continues, it is revealed that God, in seeing the wickedness of Er, destroys the son of the Canaanite woman, even before Er could consummate the marriage with Tamar.  Then, as the custom of the land would have it, Judah said unto his son Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother. But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother’s wife [Tamar] he spilled his semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.  It is written that the thing which Onan did was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and He slew him [Onan] also.  A brother raising seed or a male child unto a deceased brother's name through the dead brother's wife, seems to have been the custom of the land.  Apparently the custom was established to protect the women, who had no rights of inheritance, except through a male child, who had the name of his father.  Certainly at this time, the Torah had not been written, giving this instruction, but God may have verbally established this understanding with Abraham.  It is doubtful that Onan spilling his semen on the ground, was the only reason that God YHWH also killed Onan.  More than likely, even as it was with his Brother Er, the displeasure that God had with Onan, had more to do with the wickedness that God sees in the genetic seed of Onan, which is of Canaanite blood, making Onan of a slave nation controlled by the wickedness of the devil, himself.  There is nothing that Satan would not do, so as to destroy the credibility of the Word of God made in the Garden of Eden, and thereby saving himself with what he originally thought would bring an end to God's Covenant promise made in the Garden of Eden. ^{(Read the full account in Genesis 38 verse 1 thru 12.)} If God's Covenant Word was not fulfilled, then Satan's exalted will would come to fruition.  ^{(See Isaiah 14 verse 12 thru 15.)}  

In case you haven't noticed, that with Elohim's judgment of the first two sons of Judah, there must be something special that is not yet revealed in Tamar and her own family lineage.  Witness for yourselves that Elohim (God), in protecting His Covenant Word given in the Garden, slayed the two Canaanite sons of Judah.   His righteous judgment against evil was enacted to protect the genetic seed of Ishshah/Woman that would destroy the corrupting works of Satan.

Now Judah, seeing that his first two sons have prematurely died in their marriage to Tamar and without leaving any offspring, is fearful that the same fate of death would happen unto his youngest son Shelah.  So then Judah lies to Tamar, as he insinuates that when Shelah, his younger son, would have matured, the two of them would marry, but until that time, Judah tells his daughter in law, Tamar, to go to her father's house and remain there a widow.  Tamar is obedient, and dresses in garments that depict her widow's status.  ^{(See Genesis 38 verse 11.)}

After Judah's Canaanite wife dies, and he has peace within his mind, he decides to go to Timnath, to have his sheep sheared.  His friend Hirah, of a noble race, and from the town of Adullam, is to go with Judah.  And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law [Judah] goes up to Timnah to shear his sheep.  Now with a detectives mind, who is it that would have been the first to know that Judah was going to Temnah?  Who would have been the one that informed the obedient Tamar of her father in law's plans?  What was the family name of Tamar's father, and can his true lineage be known? Tamar, on hearing of Judah's plans, and knowing of her dead end situation with Shelah, Judah's youngest son, Tamar then removes her widow's clothes, and conceals herself in the garments of a harlot.  Tamar immediately leaves her father's house, and journeys the distance to Temnah.  Upon finding an open place along the way just outside the town of Temnah, Tamar waits for Judah to arrive,  as he and his friend Hirah drive his sheep on the way to the shearers. When Judah saw her [Tamar], he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.  He turned to her at the roadside and said, “Come, let me come in to you”, for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law.  Tamar said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”  Judah answered, “I will send you a young lamb from the flock.” And Tamar in agreeing said, “If you give me a pledge, until you send the young lamb" He said, “What pledge shall I give you?” She replied, “Your signet and your bracelet and your staff that is in your hand.” So Judah gave them to her, and went in to her [in the open field], and she conceived by him. While the coupling was taking place on the side of the road way, Hirah, of a noble family, knowing of Judah's personal business, would have been tending the flock, and would not have known that the woman was Tamar, the widow of Judah's sons.  Then after business had been concluded, Tamar arose and went away, [to her father's house] and taking off her veil she [again] put on the garments of her widowhood.  Apparently, the father of Tamar was not there at his home, so as to have noticed that his daughter would have been missing for a time, and so was oblivious to her return to his home, and the change of her garments.  After Judah had conducted the business of the shearing of his flock, he sent his friend Hirah with a sheared kid into Temnah to retrieve Judah's personal pledge from the woman that was assumed to be a harlot.  In Temnah,  no one of the town knew of a harlot, and Hirah not finding the woman returns to Judah with the sheared kid, and to Judah's embarrassment, there was the loss of his personal identification.  Not wanting to further compound the embarrassment, Judah, in that affect, tells Hirah: Let her keep the personal identification, less we both be put to shame. ^{(Genesis 38 verse 11 thru 23.)}

And it came to pass about three months later, that Judah was told: "Tamar thy daughter in law has played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by her whoredom". And Judah said: "Bring her forth, and let her be burnt".  Think on this; Tamar, an unwed, twice widowed woman of Judah's sons, was found to be pregnant in the house of her father, thereby putting the father's house and his noble name to shame.  Now, it had to be a disgraced father of the house that would have informed Judah, his friend and the father in law of Tamar, of her supposed infidelity that would disgrace even Judah's house and his name.  Both, the house of Tamar's father, and the house of Judah the father in law, would be put to shame.  Tamar was to be put out of both, her father's house and also Judah's house, and then she was to be burnt on her forehead with the sign of a whore. When Tamar was brought forth from her father's noble house by her shamed father, she then sent to Judah, her father in law, the signs of his personal identification, saying, "By the man, whose these are, am I with child": and she said, "Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff". And Judah acknowledged the signet, and the bracelets and his staff, as belonging to him, and said, "She has been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son". And Judah never had intimate relations with Tamar ever again. ^{(Genesis 38 verse 24 thru 26.)} The true players in this human drama for life, have no understanding of God's Covenant Promise in the Garden, and of His divine  protection of a daughter of the Abrahamic Covenant.  Tamar, through her father's noble family of Hirah, is of the legitimate Shemitic lineage that would be of the house of the patriarch Terah , the father of Abram אַבְרָם,  Nahor and Haran

And it came to pass in the time that Tamar was to give birth, that, behold, twins were in her womb.  And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one sibling put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and the midwife said, How hast thou broken forth? This breach [birth] is because of thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah רָה. ^{(Genesis 38 verse 27 thru 30.)} Please note that God YHWH, יהוה  reading from right to left is Yod, Hey, Waw/Vav, Hey.  Also in maintaining His righteous Word in the Garden of Eden, Yahweh allows for the conception and birth of the twin sons of Judah through Tamar.  Now, the Hebrew alphabet reveals that  Zarah's זָרָה name, reading right to left, has the suffix ending of ah, and is the 5th letter hey ה, present in the family lineage of his grand father Hirah חִירָה, who also has the ending suffix  hey ה .  Now we can ask, of what significance does the scarlet thread tied to Zarah's wrist, have to play, in our understanding of the genetic lineage of Jesus Christ, Who is conceived through God's promised seed of Woman/Ishshah?  Abram's name was changed to Abraham אַבְרָהָם, even as Abraham's wife Sarai was changed to Sarah, with the Hebrew letter  ה hey
 
Listen to Jacob/Israel's prophesy of his son Judah:  Thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise:  Thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies: Thy father's children shall bow down before thee.  Judah is a lion's whelp, from the prey, my son, thou art gone up:  He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion, who shall rouse him up?  The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come, and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be.  Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine, he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:  His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.  ^{(Genesis 49 verse 8 thru 12.)} Israel's prophesy to his son, not only speaks of  the strength of Judah and his offspring, but speaks of God's Promised Messiah, Who will come from the loins of Judah's 2 children in the lineage of Jacob\Israel, and his genetic lineage back to Shem, and will continue forward in time to produce God's Promised seed from Ishshah/Woman, that will become the incarnate Son of God, the Savior of man kind, Who will gather all peoples unto Himself.

This treatise on Rahab is a continuation of thoughtful research, initiated in the beginning chapter The Biblical Women in the Genealogy of Jesus Christ. The Truth confirms that the Covenant WORD of God spoken by Elohim in the Garden of Eden is unchangeable and His WORD is fulfilled within the Last Adam, Jesus Christ, for He is the Only Begotten Son of God.  Consider the genetic lineage of these four women Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba, and understand absolutely that they are each in the lineage of the pure genetics of the first Adam taken from Adam's side, as Ishshah/Woman, and not of the satanically mingled and corrupted genetics of the wife of Ham.

When myopic eyes are taken off the foundation of the TRUTH then the TRUTH must be set directly before the unseeing eyes so that they may see that the foundation has not moved.  God does not change in His WORD.  We are the ones in error, and in need of redemption.  There are many theologians that erroneously explain in their commentaries that because Elohim is the Almighty God, then the Lord is entitled to vacillate in the Sovereignty of His WORD. ^{(See Malachi 2 verses 5 thru 6.)} Nay: The Lord God is Holy, Holy, Holy, and He changes not in His holiness, and because He is constant, the WORD of God shall stand forever.  Every WORD of God is pure.  He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. ^{(Proverbs 30 verse 5.)} All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.  The grass withers, the flower fades: because the Spirit of the Lord blows upon it.  Surely the people is grass.  The grass withers, the flower fades: but the WORD of our God shall stand for ever. ^{(Isaiah 40 verse 7 thru 9.)} So then, if all people are likened as to grass, then with whom did the Eternal Lord take council, and who instructed the Lord that He might understand His WORD of power and might, and that with His mercy? ^{(See Isaiah 40 verse 12 thru 15.)}

Come, let the grass of the field reason together.  Is the WORD of the Elohim One with the Spirit of Truth, or of the spirit of vanity?  If the Sovereign God, would make a Covenant with His WORD in the Garden of Eden, then God's Covenant WORD of TRUTH will stand on its own, and not need the help of the grass to hold His WORD up.  We will show that the genealogy of Rahab is absolutely true to God's WORD, for His WORD cannot fail.  The true genetic seed of Woman, as the incarnate Son of Adam/Man, will crush the head of the evil one, for it is impossible for the WORD of Holy God to be of an angelic hybrid mixture of flesh that existed before the flood and afterward.  If the Almighty changed the intent of His Covenant WORD, then God would be a god of hypocrisy, and not the God of everlasting TRUTH.  God's WORD, would no longer hold the universe together, and absolutely nothing would exist.  Know therefore that the Lord thy God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps Covenant and mercy with them that love Him, and keep His Commandments to a thousand generations. ^{(Deuteronomy 7 verse 9.)}

Moreover the WORD of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:  Consider thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord has chosen, He has even cast them off? Thus they have despised My people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

Thus says the Lord:  If My Covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for [indeed] I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them. ^{(Jeremiah 33 verse 23 thru 26.)}

Consider the two families and who they are in God's Covenant WORD.  If God's beginning Covenant WORD, pronounced in the Garden of Eden, is not understood or is diminished in the philosophy of vain men, then the withering grass that returns to the dust of the earth, will not understand the eternal strength of the everlasting WORD of God.  Like the grass of the field, people bend with every wind of doctrine, and can not on their own, keep covenant with the everlasting God. 

The Holy Sovereign God, Maker of the universe, does not vacillate like the grass of the field, for His WORD is constant within Himself, and remains constant within the universe that He holds in existence.  God cannot fail His Covenant WORD, proclaimed in the Garden of Eden, therefore, He will provide the One true genetic Man, conceived in His Image and the Heart of His Spirit, for Elohim will keep His Covenant for the sake of a thousand generations of mankind, and even forever. ^{(See Colossians 1 verse 14 thru 16, and Philippians 2  verse 5 thru 7.)}  And He saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor [no one to intervene on behalf of truth and righteousness]; therefore His own Arm brought Him victory, and His Own Righteousness [having the Spirit without measure] sustained Him.  ^{(Isaiah 59 verse 16. Amplified version.)}

Elohim's unchangeable WORD of Truth, was pronounced in the hearing of Adam, Eve and Satan, as well as the spiritual powers that followed after wickedness.  From the beginning of that time in the Garden, God would oversee and protect His Promised WORD of Salvation, at any cost, and His WORD would come forth through the genetic family of the first Man, as the pure human genetic seed of the Woman/Ishshah of Adam.  That seed would burst forth from the womb of a virgin woman of Hebraic faith, as the unfailing TRUTH of God's Covenant WORD of Salvation, being the last generational Adam, Jesus, the Son of Man, the incarnate WORD and Christ of God. 

The generations of the first Adam or that of Man,  began with Adam's third son, who was begotten in Adam's own likeness of man, and his name was called Seth. ^{(See Genesis 5 verse 3.)} The name of Seth means Appointed.  Then, from the root of the family tree of Adam, we see the appointed beginning trunk of Seth, whose lineage of genetic man, will branch through nine generations to Noah.  It was before the flood, that Elohim made known to Noah, His Covenant made in the Garden, and enjoined Noah to that Covenant of Salvation.  For with thee will I establish MY COVENANT. ^{(Genesis 6 verse 18.)} God's Covenant WORD was established with Noah.  God saw to it that, Noah's generational genetics remained true, going back to the first man, Adam.  Noah's trust and obedience to the Almighty, was made manifest, when he built the ark to God's exacting specifications.   Now, with God's flood waters having destroyed the physically and spiritually corrupted beings of flesh, then after the flood, the genetic tree of the natural man, will branch out through Noah's three sons, of Shem, Japheth and Ham.

However, because of the genetic contamination of three of the four son's of Ham, most probably through Ham's hybrid, carrier wife, then God set forth sever quarantining restrictions for the family of Israel. When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land where you go to possess it, and has cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them. Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following Me, that they may serve other gods: So will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. ^{(See Deuteronomy 7 verse 1 thru 5.)}

The cursed genetic hybrid seed of any carrier woman, cannot be in God's redemptive Covenant that would produce Holy God's Savior of man kind.  The Canaanite seed of Ham's Wife, is a hybrid that is born of past angelic corruption of the genetics of man, and is in the image and likeness of the progenitors of evil.  This angelic hybridization of man is anti God, and is obviously not what Holy God Almighty created in the Garden of Eden, that being Man (Adam) whom Elohim originally made to be in His own image and likeness. The first Adam, sinned against his Maker, and with his treasonous act, the Spirit of God left Man, leaving him male and female of the independent species of Man.  Now it will take no less than a Man in the flesh of the created Adam, but this Man of flesh would be born in the image and likeness of the Eternal God, and in His Innocently He would defeat the evil works of the serpent of evil, and satisfy the Holiness of God Almighty.

The nation of Israel, when abiding in Shittim, and before crossing over the Jordan to destroy Jericho, would suffer sever consequences at the Hand of God, because of their own disobedience to the WORD of God: When the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters from the nation of Moab, [who crossed over the Arnon river to Israel's side of the land of Moab].  And they called the people [Israel] unto the sacrifices of their gods:  And the people [Israel] did eat, and bowed down to their [Moab's] gods. Now to turn away the Holy Wrath of God, Moses said unto the judges of Israel:  Slay you every one his men, that were joined unto Baal Peor.  Because of Israel's infidelity to the Almighty, 24,000 people died in the plague of God's judgment. ^{(See Numbers 25 verse 1 thru 9.)}  In God's judgment, Israel would have learned a lesson the hard way.  God means what He says: For, the grass withers, the flower fades away, because the Spirit of the Lord blows upon it.  If people are viewed, in the perspective of the Eternal Holy God Almighty, and seen to be no more than the grass and flower of the field that returns to the dust of the earth, then the Holy Spirit of the Living God of Eternal holiness is not in people, for the people are seen to be in the clutches of death.

God's Covenant WORD, spoken in the Garden, remains constant, and that Covenant WORD of TRUTH will be extended through Noah's eldest son Shem.  The true genetics of Ishshah/Eve, through nine generations to the Man Noah, will continue from his son Shem to faithful Abraham, who, in believing in God and God's Covenant WORD, was justified by his faith in the WORD of God Almighty.  Now, Abraham's genetic seed of Man/Adam would continue in God's Covenant WORD, through Abraham's son Isaac, and then his son Jacob.  God changed the name of Jacob to that of Israel, and Israel begot Judah, through his wife Leah.  Judah would father twin sons, who would each come from the ovum seed of Tamar, Judah's Hebraic daughter in law. And it came to pass, when Tamar travailed, that the one put out his hand, and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying: This one came out first.  Then as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out, and she said:  How have you broken forth?  This breach is because of you.  Therefore his name was called Pharez.  And afterward came out his brother that had the scarlet thread upon his hand, and his name was called Zarah. ^{(See Genesis 38 verse 28 thru 30.)}

Then Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim, two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho.  And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there. ^{(Joshua 2 verse 1.)} When the two spies of Israel came to Rahab's home that was set upon the walls of Jericho, is it possible that they could have known something before hand?  Were the two spies sent out by Joshua, to search out the land of the Canaanites, looking for the people of Israel, who may have been in the land, but were outside of God's protection of His chosen people.  Three hundred or so years earlier, when the patriarch Jacob had died, his son Joseph led a large company of Egyptians and all of Israel, to bury his father.  Except for the young, they all went up into the land of Canaan to bury Israel/Jacob, in Abraham's cave, just south of Mamre, and north of Hebron.  Every one of the entire company of mourners returned back to Egypt immediately after that time. 

Three things come to mind.  First: Even though all of the mourners returned to Egypt, that did not mean that all of the Family of Israel remained in Egypt until the time of the exodus, 240 years later.  Second, this territory is also where Tamar, through Judah, gave birth to her twin sons.   And the third is tied to the second.  We have the presumption that all of Israel was in Egypt, up until the time of the Exodus, but that presupposes that the sons of Zarah also went down into Egypt with their father, and the family of Jacob.  And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul. ^{(See Genesis 46 verse 12 and verse 26.)}  You will notice in the scripture that the sons of Pharez are listed, but none of the sons of Zarah or their children are not numbered among the 66 persons of the family of Jacob/Israel that went down to Egypt with Joseph's deliverance of his family from the famine.

The five sons of Zarah are listed in 1st Chronicles 2 verse 6 thru 8 as Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol and Dara. As we pointed out above, none of five children of Zarah were among the 66 family members of Israel that went down to Egypt.  Zimri also known as Zabdi, and Ethan are the only Sons of Zarah that are mentioned in scripture as each having a son.  Ethan had a son named Azariah, and Zimri had a son named Carmi.  We discovered Zimri' son Carmi, because he is listed in Chronicles as belonging to the family of Judah. ^{(See 1st Chronicles chapter 4 verse 1.)} Zimri would have been last of the five sons of Zarah, and would have been born in Egypt.  Carmi fathered Achan, whose thieving and lying chicanery, brought trouble upon Israel, soon after Israel had destroyed Jericho. ^{(See Joshua 7 verse 1 and 16 thru 20.)}

Now in 1st Kings chapter 4 verse 31, Solomon is said to have exceeded the wisdom of these four noted men, Ethan, Heman, Calcol and Dara, all who, in a prior time, are indeed the sons of Zarah.  These four men are also called the sons of Mahol, which could be interpreted as the sons of dancing.  Not one of these four sons of Zarah, are listed in the genealogy of the tribe of Judah, and yet their wisdom and intelligence is known through out the land.  Perhaps their wisdom and genetically linked intelligence, would find its way, by the Grace of God, to Salomon. 

The Chronicler's brief written history of Judah's son Zarah, and his four wise sons, are troubling in our search for the truth.  Within God's hidden design in time, we are left to speculate on Scripture's chronology of time, of the lineage of 4 of the 5 sons of Zarah, and where some of their offspring might have lived, and traveled, even before Israel's Exodus from Egypt.  Later, we will see within the Eternal's same hidden covenant design, even as Solomon breaks covenant with God, and God continues His unbroken Covenant Garden Promise, through Bathsheba's second son, Nathan. 

Although Rahab identified her self with the fears of the Canaanite's of Jericho, with whom she and her family dwelt among, nevertheless, her heart was with the people of Israel.  Rahab, knowing of the Truth and power of Jehovah, protected the two spying children of Israel, even before she was guaranteed any protection.  Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the Lord, since I have showed you kindness, that you will also show kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token.  The token was the word of the two spies, who swore on their own lives: And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if you utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.  Rahab excepted their oath.  Then Rahab let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.  This cord was not just any cord made of flaxen threads, but was of flaxen cord that was died scarlet.  The scarlet cord of Rahab would be indicative of the scarlet thread tied to the hand of Zarah, for Zarah would have been the first born of Judah.  ^{(See Genesis 38 verse 28 thru 30.)}

The scarlet die is expensive, because of the great pains it takes to harvest the scanty remains of the scarlet worm, which would have affixed its self on a tree and died giving birth to her young,  The offspring of the scarlet worm, fed off of the crimson blood that she secreted in her death, and all her children were dyed by that same scarlet blood, as was the place on the tree that she anchored herself to.  Being such a costly die, the scarlet die certainly would not have been necessary for the flaxen rope that let the two children of Israel down from the window.  But, what did that scarlet cord say to the two messengers?  We witness that after they descended down the scarlet cord, the two men again, confirm their oath to Rahab:  Behold, when we come into the land, thou shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window, which thou didst let us down by.  And thou shall bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee. ^{(For the rest please see Joshua 2 verse 17 thru 21.)} That scarlet cord would have been like an umbilical cord that enabled the spies to pass out of the window and into life's freedom.  Apparently, Rahab didn't wait until Israel entered the land, but as soon as the two spies left, she tied that scarlet umbilical cord in the window, even as a sign of her faith in the God of the Living.  The faith of Abraham was in her bosom, and she knew in her heart that the WORD of God would prevail with mercy unto life: For all those who call upon Him, and believing in His WORD and acting upon His WORD, shall be saved.

When God's storm was passing by, Rahab and her family stood fast within the house on the wall, and no one of her family venture out into the midst of the storm.  Rahab and her gathered family of father, mother and brothers, and sisters with their children, all had faith, as that of Rahab, for they all trusted in Jehovah God.  Their salvation was tied to the scarlet cord, and the word of God's two representatives.  The judgment of God brought down all the walls of Jericho, except where Rahab's house stood thereon.  And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she dwelt in Israel even unto this day, because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. ^{(See Joshua 6 verse 22 thru 25.)}

Special note:  Even though Rahab is noted in Scripture to be a harlot, this does not indicate as a fact that she was a gentile of Canaanite blood, living in Jericho. Whether Rahab was a sinning harlot or not, was never Yahweh God's determining factor in the Salvation of mankind.  Yahweh's determining factor from the beginning of His creation of Man is based on the Woman's genetics and not her sinful nature.  Yahweh knew from the beginning of His creation that Man with his free will would sin.  Corrupting sin knows no bounds within the self serving flesh of the even the chosen Hebrew race, and that of the Gentile nations.  Adam sinned and brought death to mankind, and now in the perfection of Holy Yahweh God, then perfection must take the place so as to remove the imperfection of death in the rebellion of the first Adam. The first Adam was of the earth and brought death to earthly man, The last Adam was from the heavenly and was of God's LIFE giving Spirit and brought LIFE to all that would receive Him.

False assumptions are made by faulty philosophical theologians, and parroted in the pulpits. The Almighty, the all-knowing God of Eternity, chose from the foundation of the world a Body for His Word of Salvation.  Elohim would produce this genetically pure Body, from the genetically pure genealogy from the first Man/Adam. The God made genetics of Adam, the first Man, was secured in the female Ishshah, we know as Eve, and was not based on a person's sinless purity.  In the TRUTH of the Unfailing WORD of GOD, then Rahab had to be of the genetically pure Hebrew Race, in spite of her harlotry.

We are convinced that Rahab is genetically tied to that scarlet thread, having been physically born of the tribe of Judah, through the lineage of Judah's son, Zarah.  The genetics of Rahab, were of the genetics of Judah and Tamar, and not of the cursed angelic genetics of the breed of Canaanites.  Rahab married a fifth generation cousin, Salma, the son of Nasshon, a prince of Judah and of the lineage of Pharez. ^{(See 1 Chronicles 2 verse 5, and 9 thru 12, and Matthew 1 verse3 thru 6, and Luke 3 verse 31 thru 33.)} That scarlet thread, tied around the hand of Judah's son Zarah, is the same thread that is woven within the spiritual fabric of the soul that is born again of faith in Holy God's unfailing Salvation WORD that is Jesus, the Christ of God.  God's Gift of Faith, changes a man's heart from the carnal, to one that is born of the Perfect Love of God, and that Perfect Love can only come from the Perfection of the Infinitely Holy God through His Holy Spirit of Grace.  He alone holds creation within the Palm of His Hands.  For we; Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of the incorruptible, by the WORD of God, Who lives and abides for ever. ^{(See 1st Peter 1 verse 20 thru 25.)}

To accommodate solitary web searches, this paragraph and the following paragraph is redundant in each of the chapters of the four biblical women mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.  In your search for Truth, it would be prudent to click on all of the highlighted links. 

This treatise on Rahab is a continuation of thoughtful research, initiated in the beginning chapter The Biblical Women in the Genealogy of Jesus Christ. The Truth confirms that the Covenant WORD of God spoken by Elohim in the Garden of Eden is unchangeable and His WORD is fulfilled within the Last Adam, Jesus Christ, for He is the Only Begotten Son of God.  Consider the genetic lineage of these four women Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba, and understand absolutely that they are each in the lineage of the pure genetics of the first Adam taken from Adam's side, as Ishshah/Woman, and not of the satanically mingled and corrupted genetics of the wife of Ham.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing (matter): but the honor of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25 verse 2.)

The heavens declare the glory and the power of God: Again we continue to witness in the heavens that the faithfulness of the Word of Holy, Holy, Holy God is constant and unchangeable in the Almighty's purposed design of the universe.  And so we are to understand that God's Word is constant in scripture, and does not change to accommodate the changeable mind of finite flesh.  When we investigate scripture with discerning eyes, then we are going to find that Elohim's Covenant Promise in the Garden of Eden remains absolutely the Truth, for the Word of God is unbroken in the genetic lineage of the woman named Ruth, as also His Word of Promise is constant with Tamar, Rahab and Bathsheba.  ^{(See John 10 verse 34 thru 36.)}. 

From the beginning of God's Covenant proclamation in the Garden of Eden, the Infinite God would see through His creation of time that the Seed of Ishshah/WoMan would continually propagate Adam's genetic DNA until God's Last genetic Adam, Jesus Christ would be incarnately born the Son of Man/Adam.  As the last Man of God's original creation of Adam, then Yeshua/Jesus the Man would crush Satan's rule of evil and death.  In case you missed the above link, then to bring clarity to our understanding, in the Garden of Eden, the original given name of Adam's wife was Ishshah meaning Woman.  It was after their insurrection to God their Creator, and their dismissal from the Garden of Eden, that then Adam changed his wife's name to that of Eve.  God would keep His Word within the genetic lineage of Adam/Man, male and female, until His Word was conceived in the genetic seed of the Hebrew woman Mary as the last Son of Man Jesus Christ.  The Word of Elohim remains Constant Truth despite Satan's early hybrid contamination in the genetics of man kind. ^{(See Genesis 6 verse 1 thru 6.)} 

The only Infinite, Holy Lord God Almighty, the Progenitor of all that exist, is Eternally One with His Word, by Whom He created all things, and therefore God's Eternal Covenant begins first with His Word, and the Almighty God does not fail His Word. ^{(See 1st Corinthians 8 verse 6.)} God's Covenant Word was given by God for the Salvation of human kind, and His Word made of the Flesh of Adam, can not be of the corrupted genetics of the children of Ham's wife.  God Almighty would protect His Covenant Word, even through Israel's disobedient generations, until He would intervene in His time, and the true genetic seed (ovum) of the virgin woman Mary, would be conceived with the Word of God through the Holy Spirit of Father God, and be born the Son of Man and the last Adam.  The first Adam, created in the image and likeness of God, failed in his love and likeness of God, but the last genetic Adam,  Jesus Christ, was begotten in the Likeness of His Father God, and in the image of the Son of Man/Adam.  The last Adam, was the first Man to possess a perfect Love and Obedience to His Father God, and Jesus/Yeshua would indeed crush the head of the beguiling serpent of evil.

Although Ruth, in the book that bears her name, was called a Moabitess, this nomenclature did not mean that she would have been a daughter of the condemned lineage of Moab's Canaanite children.  God was steadfast in His Word when He said: "An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the Lord for ever:" ^{(Deuteronomy 23 verse 3.)} Furthermore God Almighty commands an added prohibition of the Ammonites or Moabites: Thou shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity for ever. ^{(Deuteronomy 23 verse 6.)}

The reader should logically conclude that if Jesus the Holy One of God was of the genetics of these condemned people, then Jesus would be a hybridized man, born of corrupt genetic seed and could not be Holy God's Promised Word of our Salvation.  Sin and death would continue to reign and we would not have peace with Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh the Lord God Almighty: For that matter, if Yahweh God was powerless to keep His Word and allows for His Word to be genetically corrupted in sin, then He would not be the Infinitely Holy Lord God Almighty.  Witness that Jesus the Word of God says: The prince of this world comes, but has nothing in Me. ^{(See John 14 verse 30.)} The Amplified Bible put it this way.  I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (of evil, the ruler) of the world is coming.  And he has no claim on Me (he has nothing in common with Me, there is nothing in Me that belongs to him, he has no power over me.)  Not even the genetics of Jesus can be questioned to be of Satan's corrupted seed.  So it is in the genetics within all of the women that are in the lineage of God's Christ.

The genetics of the Moabites and the Ammonites, being the offspring of Lot's children, were hybrid carriers of the cursed Canaanite angelic DNA. Whether the person is Ammonite or Moabite, male or female, God did not change His mind about the absolute prohibition of the people of these two nations from being genetically included in the congregation of the Lord.  Both sexes of these nations, can be carriers of the mutant genetic pattern of Canaan, through the XX chromosomes of the female.   The Jew's Oral Law with the interpretation that Deuteronomy 23 verse 3 applies only to Moabite men, is absolutely wrong.  If the genetics of Ruth's father was of Canaanite origin, then his corrupted blood line would remain in his daughter Ruth, for she would have received one of her female X chromosomes from the father, and the other X female chromosome from a Moabite woman.  If this were the case, then Ruth, as a genetic Moabite, would continue the Canaanite corruption in her genetics, and Ruth could not be in the lineage of God's Covenant Promise of the Seed of WoMan/Ishshah destroying the power of the evil one.   The genetic seed of Woman, having been taken from the side of Adam, would be of the pure genetics of the first Adam/Man.  God's Holy Word stands for ever as the Truth, and is incorruptible.

As an example of the hybrid corruption, look at the female child marked XX.  The DNA from both parents is affected, and all of her future offspring, both male and female, would be carriers of the mutant Canaanite genetics.  The mutation would have continued in Ham's children because of his carrier wife.  It would appear that the family tree of Ham's wife would have been corrupted sometime before the flood, and was the result of the original hybridization by the wicked angelic sons of God, known in Hebrew, as B'nai haElohim.  The female carrier child will also present the same genetic problem as a married adult, when she produces children, even from a non carrier male.  ^{(See A Huge Genetic Question Mark, and also Tower of Babel )}

Because of God's condemnation of the Moabites, Ruth definitely could not have been a descendent from that nation, born of Moab's mutant Canaanite blood. 

The scriptural inference of Ruth, being a Moabitess, would only indicate that she was born and lived in the country with the name of Moab, as it was called at the time of the Judges, and continued even until the time of the Christian Crusades.  Boaz, in His admiration of the virtue of Ruth, says to her; and how thou has left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which you knew not previously.  Boaz is acknowledging that Ruth was born in the land of Moab and not her nationality.  Therefore, judge for yourselves:  Half of the individual states in the United States of America, have names that were evolved from the cultures of the Indian nations that originally occupied the land.  One of the many examples would be the state of Alabama: The name is derived from the Alibamu, a tribe of Indians, who were members of the Creek Confederacy. The name "Alabama" may have come from words in the Choctaw language, "Alba ayamute" meaning "I clear the thicket."  The people that live in Alabama today are called Alabamians, but obviously, they are not of the original nation of the Alibamu tribe of Indians.  We take note that in the United States of America, all the citizens are called Americans regardless of their original family nationality.

Again Ruth was called a woman of Moab, or Moabitess, only because she was a woman born and residing in the land that was at that time only known as Moab.  It was not possible for Ruth to be a generational daughter of Moab with Canaanite genetics, making her outside of God's Covenant order of all things, especially in God's Covenant with the Messiah.  Man is confused, but the Almighty and all knowing God is not the god of confusion.  God would protect His Covenant Word given in the Garden of Eden, by protecting the genetic flesh of Adam within the seed of Ishshah that would come to be within the ovum of Mary, the last woman of Adam's genetic kind.  That ovum seed of Mary, through the Word and Spirit of His Father, would become the Son of Man, and as the last Man would crush the power of Satan. 

Even so, Satan yet continues to perpetuate the lie in the Garden:  Did God really say that you should not eat of every tree, including the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?  You shall not surely die!  Now that leaves us sinners, in the confusion of our fleshly minds, questioning the Truth of the Word of God, and the Holy Oath He has sworn upon Himself.  Now the subtlety of Satan continues in today's liberal pulpit commentaries, and so the pulpit speaks, saying the bible is full of stories like Genesis, made up by men, and in it, God has changed his mind many times.  So then the father of lies continues to speak from the pulpit: Did God really say that the Seed of the WoMan of Adam would really destroy the seat of power over hell, death and the grave?  If you have little understanding of genetics,  or if you missed this chapter "Human DNA, the first Adam, and the Last Adam", then you would do well to click on the gold highlighted link.

Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land.  And a certain man of Bethlehem-Judah, went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.  And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion,  Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah.  And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. ^{(Ruth 1 verse 1 thru 2.)} At the time of this narrative of Ruth, the various judges of Israel sought to maintain peace in the land, for, Israel had already entered the land three hundred years earlier, and settled in the promised land.  The East side of the Jordan river had been conquered by Israel at the very first.  Moses, with all of Israel, had come into the promised land, east of the Jordan, and defeated the armies of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had previously defeated the king of Moab, ^{(See Numbers 21 verse 26 thru 30.)}  and now Israel possessed Moab's land, south unto the river Arnon. ^{(See Deuteronomy 2 verse 32 thru 34.)}. After the defeat of Sihon, scripture says: “And they turned and went up by way of Bashan: and Og, the king of Bashan, went out against them, he and all his people, to the battle at Edrai. And Yahweh said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left alive: and they possessed his land.” ^{(Numbers 21 verse 33 thru 35.)}

You can observe in the top map that the nation of Moab, originally occupied a large section of land east of the dead sea, and extended along the Jordan River, up close to the Sea of Galilee.  With Israel defeating and annihilating Sihon and his people, and that of Og and his people, scripture strongly implies, that there were no Moabites or Canaanites left in the land now occupied by Israel.  So then, you can see on the bottom map that this part of the former country of the Moab nation is where Israel's tribes of Reuben and Gad, with half of the tribe of Manasseh, would have initially settled in peace with their families. ^{(See Deuteronomy 3 verse 12 thru 16.)} The remnant of the nation of Moab occupied the land south of the river Arnon.

The book of Judges in the first chapter reveals that nine of the twelve tribes of Israel that had an inheritance in the land over the Jordan, did not completely drive out or destroy all of the Canaanites that occupied the land. There are three tribes that are not mentioned in the chapter.  The Levites who had no inheritance in the land, what so ever, and the Tribes of Ruben and Gad, whose land of Moab was already free of the Canaanites and Moabites. ^{(See Judges 1 verse 19 thru 36.)} Then an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break My Covenant with you.  And you shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land.  You shall throw down their altars, but you have not obeyed My Voice.  Why have you done this?   Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.  And it came to pass, when the angel of the Lord spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.  And they called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there unto the Lord.  And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.  ^{(Judges 2 verse 1 thru 6.)}

The generation of Israel that came with and followed after Joshua and the elders into the land of God's promise, served the Lord.  After Joshua and that generation passed on, then the generations that came after them were not familiar with the Canaan wars, and neither were they familiar with the Lord God Almighty, Who delivered Israel from the enemies of God's Covenant.  How forgetful we are.  The new generation did not have a heart and mindset to serve the God of Israel, but did right in their own eyes, and accommodated the people that surrounded them and served their gods.  When Israel left off serving the Word of the Lord, then calamity to the whole nation would spring forth, trying the flesh, until the heart of the nation would cry out to their Lord God to save them.  When there was repentance in the heart of the people, then God, through the judges, would give periods of peace in the land.

Although the story of Ruth is thought of as a wonderful story of love and fidelity, nevertheless the author leaves his readers in an embarrassment of ignorance and speculation.  The author does not see fit to elaborate further on the circumstances, and the specific time of the judges.   Also, seeing that it was authored in the time of David, there may have been ulterior motives in the description of Ruth with the great grandmother of David, being left with the description as a Moabitess in David's ancestry. Obviously this association of Ruth with the descendants of Moab would link King David in the ancestry of Moab.   After viewing the following scripture link, ^{(See 1st Samuel 22 verse 3 thru 4.)} the reader should see the protectionism that is built into the book of Ruth, by its human author. David, initially  protects his mother and father in the house of the king of  Moab, but later David, as king of Israel, would deal severely with the Moabite people.  ^{(See 2nd Samuel 8 verse 2.)} The false innuendo of Ruth being known as a Moabitess of Canaanite blood, muddies the waters in the mind of man, and brings confusion with their interpretation of God's Covenant. 

In view of the above, there are several clues in the text of the Book of Ruth, that when sewed together, clarify the genealogy of Ruth.  The first and the last clue in the story of Ruth, is the most powerful for they confirm her genetic lineage, and when melded together they will be most insightful. The rest of the clues will then correspond to the first and foremost in the list.

1. And Naomi said unto Ruth: The man (Boaz) is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen. ^{(See Ruth 2 verse 20.)} Naomi, a daughter of Judah does not say that the man (Boaz) is near kin to me, but is near kin to us.  With the marriage to her son, Naomi from the first would have known of the genealogy of her daughter in law, Ruth.
   
   Then all the people who were at the gate and the elders said: “We are witnesses.  May the Lord make the woman, who is coming into your house, like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel.  ^{(Ruth 4 verse 11 thru 13.)} The House of Israel is built up specifically from these two women, Rachel and Leah, who each bore in their wombs the pure genetic offspring of their husband Jacob.  In the genetic ovum seed of these two Shemitic women, God will protect, and bring to fulfillment His Covenant of redemption through the Adamic genetic seed of Abraham.  And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. ^{(See Genesis 29 verse 31, and 30 verse 22.)}  Even as God opened Sarah's womb to produce the promised seed of Isaac, so God opened Rachel's womb to produce two sons by Jacob, named Joseph and Benjamin.
    

2. Joseph, with his goodness, would have been our favorite to progenerate God's Covenant seed of Ishshah/Woman, but was disqualified by God.  ^{(See David's Psalm 78 verse 67 thru 68.)} Joseph's two sons of Ephraim and Manasseh were both born of Joseph's Egyptian wife, and her genetics' would be of Mizraim, the son of Ham and his wife, and would be outside of God's Covenant, and pollute His Infinite Word of Truth and Righteousness. An impossibility with Holy Lord God Almighty! That would leave only Rachel's son Benjamin, and his genetic lineage would have remained pure in God's Covenant that would produce the Seed of Ishshah the wife of Adam, where all in the faith of God's Word would be blessed.  And of course Leah had six son's and a daughter Diana.  Leah's fourth son, Judah, was selected by God to be the progenitor of the continuing seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and with the offspring of Judah's brother Benjamin, there would come forth the promised Messiah of God's Covenant Word given in the Garden of Eden.  I will put enmity between thee and Woman/Ishshah and between thy seed and her/Ishshah seed.  He shall bruise thy head and thou shall bruise His heel. ^{(Genesis 3 verse 15.)}
   Viewing the scriptures with a discerning heart, Ruth, can only be of the true genetics of the family of Benjamin, and she will will marry into the family of Judah, by way of Boaz, who is of Bethlehem Ephratah.  But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto Me that is to be Ruler in Israel; Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. ^{(See Micah 5 verse 2)}
    

3. The first passage of the Book of Ruth confirms that God's judgment was upon unfaithful Israel:  Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled that there was a famine in the land.  However, the passage is not specific of the time, as to when God's appointed judges would have come on the scene, and would establish God's order to the forefront of the people's minds.  We see in the first passages of the book of Ruth, that Elimelech, an Ephrathite of Bethlehem-Judah, the husband of Naomi, took his family into the Country of Moab, where the Judges would have been called to rule. ^{(See again Ruth 1 verse 1 thru 2.)} Elimelech would not knowingly have taken his family into unprotected country, but one that he thought was secured by the Judges of Israel when they ruled.  Apparently, the safety that was reputed of the land would cease.  And Elimelech, Naomis' husband died, and she was left with her two sons.  And they took them wives of the women of Moab:  The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth: and they dwelled there in Moab about ten years. We might surmise that in the marriage of her two sons, Naomi, of the house of Judah, would have known before hand that the true lineage of her daughters in law would be that of Israel's son of the house of Benjamin.  And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman Naomi lost her two sons and her husband. ^{(Ruth 1 verse 3 thru 5.)} In this case the word 'died muwth', in Hebrew, could imply a premature death as in "killed".
    

4. Ezra writes that Benjamin had five sons, but only the lineage of Bela the first born son of Benjamin is continued in Ezra's first book of Chronicles. ^{(See 1st Chronicles 8 verse 1 thru 8.)} For this reason, we will make mention of Bela's genealogy that leads to one of the past judges, Ehud, the Benjamite, who had a mighty reputation in the defeat of Moab. ^{(See Judges 3 verse 12 thru 30.)} One of Ehud's offspring was Shaharaim, who apparently had traveled to the land of Moab during the same period as Elimelech and his family.  Shaharaim then had children in the country of Moab by his two wives Hushim and Baara, then afterwards the two wives were dismissed, or understood better as being divorced. ^{(See 1st Chronicles 8 verse 8.)} Shaharaim sired children by Hushim who gave birth to two sons, Abitub and Elpaal.   However if Shaharaim's wife, Baara, bore a female child, then the genealogy typically would not be listed, and Baara, not being in favor, would never be heard of again, nor her female child who would be of the lineage of the house of Benjamin.  It is remarkable that generally women are not often mentioned in the Bible, but these 2 divorced wives of Shaharaim are both named in scripture. If the mothers, of Naomi's daughters in law, were both divorced from their husband and they were left in the country of Moab, then this may be the reason that Naomi says to her daughter in laws: Go, return each to her mother's house.  We present the above as a strong possibility to the unknown genealogy of Ruth, and her unchangeable link to the promised Messianic seed of WoMan/Ishshah, and He being born the Last Adam, Jesus the Christ of God.
    

5. The nation of Israel was chastised by God when they turned from Him to serve the gods of the nations round about them.  And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the Lord, and served not Him.  And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.  And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side of Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.  Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.

   a.  Ruth, when growing up as a child in the house of her mother, would have followed her mother's leading, and if her mother served the gods of her surrounding enemies, then the child Ruth would have been indoctrinated to do likewise.  For eighteen years the Ammonites oppressed the inhabitants of Gilead and the land of Moab, and subjected the inhabitants to their god Chemosh.
    

6. During this period of God's chastening, the Ammonites from the East are the nation that is attacking Israel through the land of Moab and Gilead. ^{(See Judges 10 verse 6 thru 16.)}  Japheth will be called to judge the nation at this time. So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord delivered them into his hands. And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.  ^{(Judges 11 verse 32 thru 33.)}
   As you can see from the maps below that the land that Japheth subdued is in the land of Moab, where the tribe of Ruben and Gad would have dwelled.  So from Aroer in the south to Minnith in the northeast, and all of the land and cities in between, the Ammonites were slaughtered and driven from the land of Moab that God gave to Israel.    The Maps below are provided through Bible Hub.

   See Minnith red pinpointed on the map.

    

    

7. At this time, God's judgment of Israel is over and the famine in Judah is lifted.  Naomi arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard how the Lord had visited His people in giving them bread. And so Naomi with Ruth and Orpha started on the road that would take them to the land of Judah. ^{(See Ruth 1 verse 6 thru 7.)}
    

8. Naomi says to her daughters in law, Ruth and Orpha: Go:  Return each of you to your mother's house. The Lord deal kindly with you as you have dealt with the dead, and with me. The return of each of the daughter-in-laws to their father's house is not mentioned by Naomi.  Two things to consider:  Perhaps the mothers of Orpha and Ruth are also widows, for they may have lost their husbands in the conflicts in the Country of Moab, or perhaps their mothers have each been divorced by their husbands, and have been forced to remain in the land where they were abandoned.  Therefore, Naomi says,  Go:  Return each of you to your mother's house, rather than return to your father's house.

   a.  If it were possible for Naomi to marry again and produce children in her old age, and if it were possible for Ruth and Orpha to wait, even so Naomi would have had no problem in giving her sons to her two daughters, so that the improbable sons could raise up children unto the name of her two deceased sons.  For a devout woman of Israel, such as the widow Naomi, this would never be possible, if her daughters were daughters of Moab.

   b. Naomi says to her daughters: The Lord grant you that you find rest, each of you in the house of her husband.  Naomi's expectation is that her daughter in laws, in staying in the land, would marry again within their family belonging to Israel, and be reestablished in their future husband's home, by giving birth to children.  With what has been presented at this time, there should be no doubt that Naomi knew of the full circumstances, of both of her daughters in law's genetic lineage to that of Israel, and certainly that of Ruth, being born of the house of Benjamin.
    

9. And Naomi said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods [elohiym].  The interpreters translate the Hebrew word for Elohim into an unnatural plurality, with an implied meaning of other "gods".  But, the fact is, that Israel has repented of their sins, and God has judged Israel for their worship of other gods, and again Almighty God is favoring Israel with safety.  So then Ruth, the Bethlemite, is not speaking of returning to other gods of their families, but to one of two possibilities.  The first possibility is that her word Elohim, means the God of Israel   or the second would be that the word elohiym could also mean authorities or leaders, as would now be the case with the judges of Israel.
    

   a.  And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou go, I will go; and where thou lodges, I will lodge:  Thy people shall be my people, and thy God, my God.  Where thou die, will I die, and there will I be buried: The Lord [Jehovah] do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. ^{(See Ruth 1 verse 16 thru 17.)}

   b. Both Ruth and Orpha, in marrying a son of the house of the widow Naomi, both came to know the Lord God of Israel through the influence of her mother in law. The God of Naomi is already the God of Ruth as she declares:  Your God (Elohim) is my God (Elohim).  May Jehovah do to me if I break my oath to you and Him.   Ruth had already come to know by the hearing of faith that Jehovah was God, and confirmed it by her oath to the LORD and to Naomi.

   c.  And Boaz (Bethlehem) says to Ruth:  The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel. The Lord God of Israel under Whose wings thou art come to trust.  ^{(Ruth 2 verse 12.)} Hence, Bethlehem's words in scripture would read in clarity: The Jehovah Elohim of Israel, under Whose wings thou art come to trust.

Then all the people who were at the gate and the elders said, “We are witnesses.  May the Lord make the woman, who is coming into your house, like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel.  May you act worthily in Ephrathah and be renowned in Bethlehem, and may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring that the Lord will give you by this young woman.”  So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son [of the essential Shemitic stock]. ^{(Ruth 4 verse 11 thru 13.)}  The author of Ruth finalizes the Truth, as he writes that the people and the elders are witnesses to Ruth's lineage, for she is like Rachel, and Leah, who together built up the house of Jacob, who is called Israel.

Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez fathered Hezron, Hezron fathered Ram, Ram fathered Amminadab, Amminadab fathered Nahshon, Nahshon fathered Salmon, Salmon fathered Boaz, Boaz (Bethlehem) fathered Obed [by-Ruth], Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David. ^{(Ruth 4 verse 18 thru 22.)}

Moreover the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:  Consider thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord has chosen, He has even cast them off? Thus they have despised My people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

Thus says the Lord:  If My Covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for [indeed] I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them. ^{(Jeremiah 33 verse 23 thru 26.)}

Consider the proof of the two families and who they are in God's Covenant Word that cannot fail.
