What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Who was Ruth?"
Answer
Ruth was a Moabite woman who married Machlon, the son of Elimelech. After her husband’s death, she returned with her mother-in-law Naomi to Bethlehem, where she married Boaz, who served as her redeemer. Ruth is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus and is considered in Christian tradition as a model for Gentiles who convert from paganism to the true God.
\n\nRuth's origin and first marriage
\n\n\n»Machlon and Chilion married Moabite women—Machlon, Ruth; Chilion, Orpah. ... The two young men died, and Naomi was left alone.«
Ruth as the wife of Boaz
\n\n\n»Boaz said, "I have acquired Ruth the Moabite as my wife.«
Ruth in the genealogy of Jesus
\n\n\n»There is also Ruth the Moabitess and Rahab, as well as Abraham, Isaac, Jesse, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, and Josiah; the worst as well as the best.«
Ruth as a model for Gentiles
\n\n\n»All who, like Rahab the Canaanite and Ruth the Moabitess, turned from idolatry to serve the true God, should unite with His chosen people.«
Ruth as a symbol for the Gentiles
\n»Since Ruth represents the Gentiles coming to the church, Esther illustrates the church going to the Gentiles.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
