Ruth Was Not A Moabite

In the last post I mentioned the formation or beginning of both the Moabite and Ammonite nations. The beginning of these nations came about from the sin of incest from Lot, Abraham's nephew. Eventually becoming mixed with other tribes the Moabites and Amorites did not remain pure Hebrew stock. They settled in the general area North East of the Dead Sea

Picture of a black Moabite woman. Someone should really tell her she has something hanging out of her nose.


I have heard the argument before that Yahsua Messiah (Jesus) was multiracial because Ruth was a Moabite and she was of the lineage of the Messiah, she was the great grandmother of King David also. Although this is preached in modern churches it isn't true. It's important to understand the history of the land of the Moabite before reading the bible, otherwise you come up with some interpretations that are not accurate.

For example around 1450 B.C. the Amorites drove the Moabites from their land Numbers 21:26-29 After the Amorites conquered the land they in turn were almost immediately invaded by Israelites who just left Egypt and were commanded to kill all the inhabitants of the land Deuteronomy 2:32-34Next in Deuteronomy 3:12-16 we read that the tribes of Ruben and Gad occupied the land in 1322 B.C.
Then we still see evidence of the Israelite occupation still in 1143 B.C Judges 11:12-26

Then we read in Ruth 1:1 That there was a man named Elimelech from Bethlehem that went to the land of Moab because of a famine, where his sons met women from the land of Moab (Israelites) and married them. Notice it says the land of Moab and it does not say they went to the people of Moab. There is a difference.

The bible is very clear about the Moabites In Zephaniah 2:9 God compares them to the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah. In Jeremiah 48 God condemns Moab. In Isaiah 25:10 condemns like Sodom. And even in Deuteronomy 23:3 states that Moabites  SHALL NEVER enter the congregation of the Lord.

No, the Messiah was not part Moabite he was a pure blooded Hebrew Israelite. His blood line is recorded in the bible with great detail. In Dueteronomy 23:2 states that a bastard (person of mixed race) shall not enter the congregation of the Lord to the 10th generation thats 1/1056 for those who do not want to bother with the math. Was the Messiah a mixed race person? Of course not the bible condemns race mixing.

Praise the Lord for his racially pure bloodline, he is our kinsman redeemer!

  1. Your corrupt soul is corrupting your preaching. Bastard means child of incest. Moab is clearly not according to your twisted ideas. Here's verse 15 of ruth 1: “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.” Will you twist this as well? Come on. I'm get that you don't care to listen what God wrote down, but some of us are not stupid. We went to bible study and learned the actual stories. So don't come at me with your evil, Satan's follower. I know God's pure truth already.

  4. Hi AK I see that you are so confident in your comment that you did not leave your name or anything about yourself. Anyway, as far as the definition of the word "bastard" goes I hope that you have enough courage to find the truth of the meaning of the word by looking at Strong's Concordance #4464. If you don't have a concordance I am sure you can at least Google it. Of course you are probably going to deny this definition while at the same time not supply your alternate source. It's comical that you stated that I came at you with my evil when your the one that's on my site. I also know that you came to this site because you were looking for something other than whatever religion or lack of religion you possess, because if you were happy with it then why stray? As of today (4/29/16) I have over 300 posts on this site and you went back about 3 years to find something to complain about. It's only normal for me to assume you are a troll looking to stir things up. Only when you are able to communicate in a normal Christian type of manner will I dignify your comments with further reply. I encourage all to leave comments, even you Mr. AK, even if you don't agree with me. I know you do not possess the fruit of the spirit in Galations 5 because of your rhetoric, but will not erase your attempt to stir the pot. I really pray that you are a troll, and if somehow your not one then you really should be prayerfully doing some sole searching and move onto another site because I am trying to bring people together and not divide them.
