BOAZ AND RUTH RAPTURE
BASED ON THE BOOK OF RUTH TIMELINE
A Comparison to one’s True Pentecost New Wine Theory
The following is a comparison, by Verse of the Book of Ruth,
in how one posits that it is painting a possible Prophetic
Picture of when the Rapture’s Timing is to occur. One will
incorporate one’s True Pentecost New Wine Theory that asserts
that Leviticus 23:15-6 is a Double Count. Meaning that the
Acts 2 Event, is the True Pentecost that occurs in July, and
not the Jewish Shavuot in June. Moreover, that the Acts 2
Pentecost coincides with the 2nd 50 Day First Fruit
Feast, of the New Wine, etc.
One supposes that as this was the Day the Holy Spirit came
down, it will go up with the Bride of Christ, i.e., the
Rapture Event that will close-out the Church Age Commission,
etc. Obviously, one is presuming the Pattern and not Details
may be seen or perceived entirely. One is thus conjecturing
the Timeline as a Strong Suggestion, nonetheless. One will
highlight the Key Verses in Chapters 3 and 4 and then provide
a Day Count based on a July 22 to 23 Time-Frame. Why?
According to one’s Research: 1) In Ancient Times, the
‘Official End’ of the Summer Wheat Harvest corresponded to the
Present Gregorian Calendar Day of July 22. 2) Also, July 22
was the Start of the Astrological Sign of Leo, in that it is
when the Lion’s Gate opens. And? It was considered to be the
Day of Resurrection where the Bodies went through the Gate
into Heaven, etc. 3) Lastly, it has been calculated that the
End of the Babylonian Captivity occurred on July 23, -538 BC.
So, if one calibrates a July 22 End of the Summer Wheat
Harvest Day into the Book of Ruth, what would that Timeline
look like?
____________________
JULY 22: ~9PM
Ruth 3:2
In fact, Tonight he is winnowing Barley on the Threshing
Floor.
Ruth 3:3
Therefore, wash yourself, put on Perfume, and wear your Best
Clothes. Go down to the Threshing Floor, but do not let the
man know you are there until he has finished eating and
drinking.
JULY 22: APPROACHING MIDNIGHT HOUR
Ruth 3:7
After Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in Good
Spirits, he went to lie down at the end of the Heap of Grain
[Wheat: Strong’s
H6194].
Then Ruth went in secretly
, uncovered his Feet,
and lay down.
JULY 23: MIDNIGHT HOUR
Note that the Jewish Day started back at Sunset on July 22
and did not end until Sunset July 23. Meaning that the
Wedding on July 23 occurred before Sunset of that Day.
Ruth 3:8
At Midnight, Boaz was startled, turned over, and there lying
at his Feet was a Woman!
Ruth 3:13
Stay here Tonight, and in the Morning, if he wants to redeem
you, good. Let him redeem you. But if he does not want to
redeem you, as surely as the LORD lives, I will. Now lie here
until Morning.”
JULY 23: FROM MIDNIGHT HOUR TO 6AM
Note that 6am was the 1st Watch of the Day, based on 3 hour
Segments of Time.
Ruth 3:14
So, she lay down at his Feet until Morning, but she got
up before anyone else could recognize her. Then Boaz said, ‘Do
not let it be known that a Woman came to the Threshing Floor’.
JULY 23: 6AM
Ruth 3: 15
And he told her, ‘Bring the Shawl you are wearing and hold it
out’. When she did so, he shoveled 6 Measures of Barley into
her Shawl. Then he went into the city.
Note: A Measure is considered a 1 Quart. (5.5 Liters or 1.5
U.S. Gallons.) One correlates this as an Echo to the Wedding
of Cana in how there and then, there were 6 Water
Purification Vessels that were empty. Here, Boaz filled them
with the Barley that was already winnowed.
The Wheat had just barely been harvested and heaped on the
Floor to be threshed next. It is a Prophetic Marker of how
Jesus is the Barely as He rose from the Dead on the First
Fruits of the Barley. Essentially, it is only Jesus Himself
that can fill the Desire of the Bride, and fill that
proverbial ‘Whole’ in one’s Heart, etc.
JULY 23: 8-9AM
Ruth 3:18
‘Wait, my Daughter’, said Naomi, ‘until you find out how
things go, for he will not rest unless he has resolved the
Matter Today’.
JULY 23: 6AM-9AM
Ruth 4:2
Then Boaz took 10 of the Elders of the
City [Bethlehem] and said, ‘Sit here’, and they did so.
Ruth 4:10
‘Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s Widow,
as my Wife, to raise up the Name of the Deceased through his
Inheritance, so that his Name will not disappear from among
his Brothers or from the Gate of his Home. You are Witnesses
Today’.
Jesus, the Greater Boaz went to Calvary to die so that
Eve’s Descendents would not remain in the state of Death due
to Eve’s being deceived and Adam being disobedient, etc. But
that through the Resurrection of Jesus, Humanity can and
will live on in Jesus.
JULY 23: 12PM NOON TO SUNSET
Ruth 4:13
So, Boaz took Ruth, and she became his Wife. And when he had
Relations with her, the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she
gave birth to a Son.
_____________________
Granted, there is no specified Time from when Boaz came back
from the Meeting with the Elder in Bethlehem to when he
married Ruth. Nonetheless, given the Timeline and Sequence of
Events, one is strongly convinced that the Wedding took place
that very Afternoon, on the 23rd of July, when one calibrates
the End of the Wheat Harvest. Thus, the Question one possets,
is will it occur in a similar Fashion for the Rapture’s
Timing, given this Correspondence to the Acts 2 True Pentecost
New Wine Event?
Consider all the Times Jesus alluded to the End of the Age as
Harvest, and in particular, that to a Wheat Harvest. And then
how in James, the Bride of Christ is likened also to being a
First Fruit Offering. Thus, one conjectures that when the
Church Age ends, it will coincide with an End of a Wheat
Harvest and, coincide with a First Fruit Festival. The only
Conjunction of such a Dichotomy is the Acts 2 True Pentecost
New Wine Theory where the ‘Wheat meets the Wine’, etc.
Matthew 13:24-30
‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the Weeds now, you might
uproot the Wheat with them. Let both grow together until
the Harvest.
James 1:18
Of his own will begat he us with the Word of Truth, that we
should be a Kind of First Fruits of His Creatures.
End of the Church Age and its Commission
Soon after the Elders granted the Redemption of Naomi’s
Property and Lineage to Boaz, there would have been enough
Time to have Boaz’s Estate and Servants prepare for the
Wedding that same Afternoon of July 23. So that by Nightfall,
Boaz would have taken Ruth into his Wedding Chamber for those
7 Days of the Honeymoon. And the Rest is History. So, if
Prophecy is Pattern, one is just surmising how this Typology
of Boaz and Ruth’s Wedding Day, precisely occurred on the Last
Day of the Summer Wheat Harvest that was celebrated with the
Drinking of the New Wine.
Since the Wheat Harvest was in full-swing, ‘Drinking’ Wine was
not available in the 1st Place and was not to be consumed
while the Workers and Boaz needed to be attentive and alert in
brining-in the Wheat Harvest. It was only after the entire
Wheat was Harvested and brought to the Threshing Floor that
Boaz did then make Merry by Eating and Drinking of the Wine
that was barely New at that Time. Evidence?

As in Genises 9:21
And he [Noah] drank (H8354) of the Wine, and was drunken;
and he was uncovered within his Tent.
______________________
Lastly, consider the following further Observations. As
noted, one surmises that Boaz was celebrating the End of the
Wheat Harvest in that he was Drinking the New Wine. He was
guarding the Threshing Floor against Robbers. Notice that the
Barley was already winnowed and prepared as he gave Ruth the 6
Measures of Barley. Yet, Boaz slept next to the Heaps of Grain
that were next to be winnowed and processed, being bundled in
Sheaves.
Notice that Ruth was instructed to put on her Best Dress and
follow Directions. This is indicative, prophetically of how
the Bride ‘Has made herself Ready’. Obviously, this is
predicated on what the Greater Boaz, Jesus has given to the
Bride as Provisions to do so. And that when the Bride is
presented to Jesus, it is because she has prepared herself and
is ready, clean, etc. It is the Gospel’s Prerogative in having
Humanity, like a Ruth needing to now come to Jesus, bow down
at Jesus’ Feet and ask for Redemption.
Then, notice how Boaz told Ruth not to tell anyone of her
‘Midnight Proposal’. This, in one’s Interpretation, is
indicative of how when the Rapture Event occurs, no one in the
World will have suspected it, caught off-guard, i.e., the
Secret Rapture. But it is recorded to show that Ruth went to
the Threshing Floor, ‘In Secret’. Notice that Boaz instructed
Ruth to stay at the Threshing Floor for the Night and that in
the Morning.
Redeemed from the Curse of the Law
Boaz would then settle the matter of her Redemption that very
Day, on the July 23 Timeline. Also note how Naomi instructed
Ruth, that Morning when Boaz headed into Town, Bethlehem to
meet with the Elders. The Instruction to Ruth, as the Bride in
Waiting was to Wait. Jesus has instructed His Bride to Wait
also. It has been nearly 2000 Years, or rather 2 Days? Or how
about 2 Hours, relatively speaking.
It is rather interesting that Boaz took 10 Elders to settle
the Matter of redeeming this Gentile Bride. In the Bible, the
Numerical Significance of 10 is that of the Law Requirement,
i.e., Sinai Covenant. It goes to show that Jesus, the Greater
Boaz has redeemed the Gentile Bride from the Curse of the Law.
For it is by Grace and Favor that one has been grafted into
the Promises of Israel, like Ruth, Rahab, etc.
So, one is conjecturing that after the Legal Matter of Naomi
and Ruth’s Redemption, as a Prophetic Typology of Jesus
redeeming both Israel and the Gentiles, Boaz married Ruth that
very same Day. And that Day corresponded to July 23, the Day
after the ‘Official’ End of the Summer Wheat Harvest, and its
correlation to the Feast of New Wine. It is an Echo of the
Wedding at Cana. As an aside Note, about the New Wine Date.
This is why one is not in agreement with some beloved Brethren
that assert the New Wine was/is on the 9th of Av.
No Bride or Groom of Israel would marry on the worst Day of
Calamity of the Nation in which the 2 Prior Temples were
Destroyed. It is a Day of Lamentations, Fasting and Mourning.
No Joyous Weddings are performed on that Day. It does not make
Prophetic Sense to associate the most Joyous and Magical Day
for Jesus and His Bride to get married on that Day. And also
to point-out that by the beginning of an August or the Month
Av, the New Wine is no longer ‘New’.
Nonetheless, this has been one’s attempt to peg the Love Story
of Boaz and Ruth with a specific July 22-23 Date and a
Timeline corresponding to the Modern Division of the Verses of
the Book and Chapters, to Jesus and His Bride. Perhaps if this
Boaz and Ruth Typology is corresponding to the Acts 2 True
Pentecost New Wine Theory, then the Rapture could occur on
this precise Day, just as much.
The Day GOD the Holy Spirit descended to empower the Church
Body is how and when, perhaps the Rapture will occur. As the
Holy Spirit is now indwelling the Body of Christ collectively
and in every Believer and Follower of Jesus, it will ascend at
the Rapture that will close-out the Church Age and its
Commission. It will be that like Ruth, as the Bride, she has
made herself ready in ‘Clean Clothes’ to meet Boaz at the Time
and Place where the Wheat Sheaves have been all brought in.

Books
BEFORE RAPTURE
The purpose of this Book is to chronicle the last days
leading up to the Rapture Event and what that will look like
on this side of the Tribulation Period. The Rapture closes the
Church Age.
NEW WINE RAPTURE
The purpose of this Book, the 4th in a Tetralogy is about
expounding on the Notion and Theory that the Pentecost of Acts
2 was and is on the Feasts of the First-Fruits of the New
Wine.
DESTRUCTION
The Bible describes that when the Rapture Event happens, it
will coincide with a 'Sudden Destruction'. What is that? Will
it be a Nuclear Exchange? Will it be World War 3.
