So, Ruth waited until he had eaten and drunk, and his heart was “merry” from the feasting.
At midnight, Boaz stirs, (“at midnight a call was made – behold the bridegroom cometh”), and he awakens, and passes a complimentary judgment upon her, his bride to be (the judgment seat of Christ).
Ruth returns to Naomi with the news of the threshing-floor encounter, early in the morning, bearing a gift of barley.
Now, Naomi says, that Boaz will “not REST (bring in the millennial rest) until this thing be taken care of…”, that is the securing of the right to be a kinsman redeemer and acquire Ruth as bride in the process.
(the millennial rest or jubilee cannot occur until the redemption process is approved by the city’s elders).
Boaz the next morning goes to the elders of the city and makes it all right, and REDEEMS Naomi’s property ( Israel ’s land and promises), and takes Ruth as his bride in the process.
Now to Revelation:
…and witnesses the Lamb being found WORTHY to open the seals of the book (the book of REDEMPTION), for in all cases of kinsman redeemers, the kinsman had to be found worthy by the city’s elders to open the scroll of the property rights of the purchased possession
