Ruth, although an ancestor of Jesus, lived about 1000 years before Jesus and so she knew nothing about Jesus and could not portray Him as anything.
In Mark's Gospel, the focus was on Jesus, with very little reason to portray God. However, Mark did portray God in the passages on the baptism of Jesus and the transfiguration. In Mark 1:11, there came a voice out of heaven, saying Thou art my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. In Mark 9:7, a cloud overshadowed the disciples and a voice came out of the cloud. So, when Mark had to portray God, it was as a voice out of heaven or out of a cloud.
