Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled,
that there was a famine in the land.
And a certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab,
he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Ruth 1:1
The book of Ruth begins with a famine in Bethlehem. The word "Bethlehem" means "House of Bread". Is there a "famine" today in the House of God for the bread of His Word?
declares the Sovereign LORD,
when I will send a famine through the land-- not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
Amos 8:11
