God's Divine Appointments in Scripture – Ruth, John 4 & The Tabernacle Explained | Bible Study

B9L1 What does the story of Ruth gleaning in Boaz's field have in common with Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well? In this Bible study, Les Feldick walks through Ruth 2, John 4, Acts 16, and Exodus 40 to reveal how God orchestrates every "accidental" encounter — and then takes us inside the Tabernacle to show how every detail points to Christ and His finished work on the cross. Les begins by exploring the concept of divine appointments in Scripture — moments that seem accidental from a human perspective but are clearly guided by God's sovereign hand. He traces this theme through Ruth's arrival at Boaz's field, Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman, and Lydia's conversion through Paul's ministry. The study then moves into Exodus 40, where Les walks through the completion and setup of the Tabernacle, the Shekinah glory filling it, and the cloud guiding Israel's journeys. He carefully explains the symbolic meaning of the Tabernacle's gate, the Brazen Altar, and the Laver of Cleansing — connecting each element to Christ's nature, sacrifice, and the believer's daily walk. Les also ties in Jesus washing the disciples' feet in John 13 and the importance of 1 John 1:9 for daily cleansing through God's Word. 00:00 – Introduction to Through the Bible with Les Feldick 00:15 – Welcome & How Viewers Discover the Program 01:05 – Are "Accidental" Encounters Really Accidents? 01:53 – Ruth Chapter 2: Gleaning in Boaz's Field 03:08 – The Meaning of "Hap" in Ruth 2:3 – God's Sovereignty 04:20 – Jesus and the Woman at the Well (John 4) 06:15 – Lydia's Conversion by the Riverside (Acts 16:13-14) 07:10 – God's Sovereignty Over All "Accidental" Events 07:58 – Ministry Announcement: Free Genesis Booklet 09:23 – Return to Exodus 40: Setting Up the Tabernacle 11:32 – The Shekinah Glory Fills the Tabernacle (Exodus 40:34-35) 12:49 – The Cloud Guiding Israel's Journeys (Exodus 40:36-38) 15:56 – Seven Weeks at Sinai: Tabernacle to Departure (Numbers 10:11) 17:59 – The Tabernacle's Layout: Every Detail Pictures Christ 18:31 – The Gate of the Tabernacle: Four Colors Symbolizing Christ 21:28 – The Brazen Altar: Brass as a Symbol of Judgment 22:30 – The Laver of Cleansing & the Priests' Daily Washing 24:00 – Jesus Washing the Disciples' Feet (John 13) 25:36 – Daily Cleansing Through the Word & 1 John 1:9 27:12 – Closing Remarks & Ministry Contact Information D.
