Hello everyone . Has anyone else noticed this ? And if so what do you think of it please ? Ruth is a lovely story and at the end of it we find out that she is actually an ancestor of Jesus through his mother Mary , even though it states in the law that a Moabite shall not enter the congregation of Israel ,Nehemiah Ch13 Verse 1. I noticed in Esther it appears that she and her uncle Mordecai could be descendants of Saul , 1st Sam Ch14 Verse 50+51 ,1st Samuel Ch15 whole thing , 2nd Samuel Ch16 Verse5-8 , Esther Ch2 Verse5-7 ,Esther Ch3 Verse1 an Agagite is a member of an Amalakite tribe , Esther Ch9 Verse10 . This would make the book of Esther more than a beautiful story in a similar way that Ruth is more than a beautiful story . It may be a stretch but could it possibly indicate some kind of redemption / atonement / reconciliation for Saul ?
Interesting. I haven't thought of it that way. I have however heard it pointed out for hope for all humanity no matter their linage but whom they choose to serve: Galatians 3:28, 1 Corinthians 1:26,27,28,29,
