To the 10th Generation

These days I look forward to my issue of Tabletalk for the articles by Warren Gage, of Knox Seminary. His typology in history is always amazing. Gage's article in the July issue has a great insight on division within the family of God.

When Abraham and Lot divided, the Ammonites and Moabites came from Lot. Later, the law excludes them from the assembly for 10 generations (Deuteronomy 23:3). But guess who is the 10th generation from Abraham? A certain man name Boaz. And who did he happen to marry? A Moabite named Ruth. This is a foretaste of the perfect unity God will bring to His family at the end.

Come, Lord Jesus.
