A Far-Reaching Ministry for Women
Newsflash: Millions of Jews are the descendants of only four women. I like this statistic, because I have three young daughters who have massive potential to affect history.
The power that so many women in our world long for is sought after in a place where it will quickly pass away in a short term burst of corprate management or expressing her "gifts" in a company that will soon slip off the edge of the cliff. It is a matter of record that most companies simply don't last very long. This is why I believe that women are wasting their lives there.
But if a woman sees her life as a key contributor as a child bearer in the stream of history, her ministry will be far reaching... that her "days may be prolonged" (Deuteronomy 6:1-9). This is why Rebekah's brothers burst out, And they blessed Rebekah and said to her: "Our sister, may you become The mother of thousands of ten thousands; And may your descendants possess The gates of those who hate them." 61 Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man.
So it should not surprise us that there are around thirty million documented descendants from the seven pilgrim women who survived the first winter in Plymouth.
Of course, all of this this is small potatoes in view of the fact that the entire world population descended first from Eve and then from the eight people of Noah's family on the Ark.
Therefore..."be fruitful and multiply"
