3:13 Stay the night here. She spent the night at his feet secure in his promise to start the process of redemption. In his lifetime here on earth the feet of Jesus meant many things to many people. The Bride will be found at His feet. Lk.10:39 Mary sat at His feet in order to hear the Word of God. The Word is dispensed at His feet. A place of learning. Mt. 15:30 Healing, for the multitudes werefound at His feet. The sinner woman washed and anointed His feet. Lk. 7:38 His disciples held Him by his feet and worshipped Him. Mat.28:9 The needs of mankind are met at His feet. How much more will His Bride want to be found at His blessed feet. Ruth 3:14 She left discreetly in the early morning hours. Their meeting was in secret. There is a certain secrecy, that requires the revelation of the Spirit in relationship to the Bride of Christ.
3:15 The gift of Boaz. Six measures of barley. Six is the number of man. There are six thousand years from Adam to the consummation of God dealings with man for salvation. Ruth carried her burden into the city. The church is responsible for the spreading of the seed, the Word. A last day revival will be manifest in the church culminating in the preparation of the Bride. The Bride is the true Holy City and the only one. She is wonderfully and beautifully dressed. She is clothed with the righteousness of Almighty God. Rev.21:2 The Bride is filled with the Glory of God. v.9.
Ruth 3:15 The vial, a mantle, cloak or a shawl. The mantle typifies the anointing of the Holy Spirit. In this instance the mantle is that which was used to transport winnowed grain. that which had been separated from the chaff. Note the usage of the mantle in the lives of Elijah and Elisha, who themselves are a type of Christ and the Church.
So great was the power and anointing of the Lord upon Elijah that the simple touch of his garment on Elisha that, Elisha immediately ran after him. Knowing that the call of God and the anointing of a prophet was upon him. 1 Kings 19:19 Elisha was plowing with twenty-four oxen. There are twenty-four thrones around and about the Throne of God. Rev.4:4 So strong was the call of the Lord on Elisha that he prepared a meal for his family and friends using a yoke of the oxen as the meat and the wood of the yoke for fire. This indicates complete separation from his past life. What he had been he was to be no longer.
Elijah used his mantle to cross Jordan. Jordan is considered to be a type of death. They crossed over on dry ground. Not only did the river divide but the ground dried up for them. It is here that Elisha requested the double or like portion of the Spirit on his life. 2 Kings 2:8-10. The double portion, for us, simply indicates the same portion that was upon the Lord Jesus. There is nothing greater than what he received. The fullness of the Godhead indwells Him. It is yours if you see me taken. Faith in the death, burial, resurrection and ascension of our Lord is necessary to receive His anointing.
