Jerusalem woman leaves behind 1,400 descendants

A 99-year-old Jerusalem resident passed away last week, leaving behind an estimated 1,400 direct descendants.

Israel's Ynet news portal reports that Rachel Krishevsky lived most of her life near Jerusalem's Mahane Yehudah open air market. She and her husband, who were married in 1929, took seriously the biblical commandment to "be fruitful and multiply," and had 11 children.

Krishevsky instilled in her own children that same duty to lovingly raise as many children as possible, and each of them were blessed with large families, totaling more than 150 grandchildren for the couple.

Those grandchildren when on to have some 1,000 offspring, who in turn have provided at least several hundred great-great-grandchildren.

Family members said they were not sure exactly how many direct descendants Rachel had, but noted with pride that she had remained close to all of them up until the end of her life.

1 .  World without end, Amen
As John said:
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
The ''world'' in Biblical terms often means ''the current order of goverment on Earth'', or the ''END OF THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES''.
I.E. Luke 21:24
They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

What Messiah did on that Cross was not just for the Salvation of Mankind, but also for the Salvation of the Father''s Creation, the World.

The days of Gentile dominion on Earth are numbered, like the 7 days of Creation - the 7 Millenia - where on the Hebrew Calendar, we are now in the year since Creatioin of 5770, the first of the months, Tishrei, and it is New Year in Israel, celebrating when the Earth was d, when made was made from the clay of the Earth, when the Israelites crossed the Sea, and of course many

3 .  This site has many truths in it but
there are some people who are so anti God probably because to believe in Him means that sooner or later they will be facing judgement. It wont matter how much they gave to charity, or how ''good'' they were.

Or whether they believe the rubbish the media spews out. Sooner or Later we all face the Ultimate Judge.

The Christians have to account for every word that has come out of their mouths. Yet they still get their heavenly reward.

The Atheists, the ''I am god'' people, the deceived who think that they can mock the Jews their brothers, teh christians. Those that put faith in the destroyer of lives and innocents, who preach hate and destruction will receive their reward as well....in the fires of judgement because they would not believe the God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.

5 .  Stranger, you state your postition very well and
very wisely, the whole bunch of them are insane or just Godless and can''t think right? Or maybe God has just given them a reprobate mind, that love their own lie''s? In either case, you have them figured out. God Bless You and Yours:
 
BENFOX   9/22/2009 6:33 AM
6 .  Hello BENFOX, and thanks. The God-haters
always think they know so much. They think they are so much better than us, and that we are just crazies who are wrecking the earth and spoiling their fun. I especially get riled by those who weep at the extinction of some species of mosquito, or some rare slimy mold, but hail the abortion of the human species as an act worthy of a medal. These people are pardon my "French" the real IDIOTS. There, I said it. Environmental wackos and population control freaks are insane.

So God will eradicate life on earth with a purging fire the sweeps the entire planet. It is spoken of throughout the Old Testament and repeated by Peter and John again. John gives the details in the Trumpet Judgments 1-4, which are a part of the wrath of God. They burn up 1/3 of the earth, oceans, and freshwater. The rest of the earth is finished off in the Bowl judgments 1-4, and by nuclear war which is clearly described in the destruction of Babylon. Sorry the world does not go on forever. But your issues are not with us, they are with God whether you know it or not. Does it sound like fatalism? Only if you have not come to know Christ, the creator, and the One Who will make all things new. Anyway, don''t blame Christians for Armageddon, blame the angry God-hating, Jew-hating world of Islamo-Fascism, Communism, atheism, and Marxism. They are the ones who take peace from the world when the 4 horsemen ride.

All of creation is under man. Man is d for its stewardship, a stewardship given to us by God Himself. We are to have dominion over it it is for our use and enjoyment, but not for abuse. Nevertheless, the world flood (a judgment of God) is responsible for the loss of the viability of much of the life. The accompanying climate change (ice age) also brought extinction of life forms. But life since its inception is failing due to genetic DNA changes in the code. Mutations are harmful, never helpful. All life is doomed. There is no evolution of life only de-evolution. Life forms are becoming weaker and that includes man. That is why you see a genetic connections to virtually every disease known to man. God programed the DNA code. It is self replicating, but it also has a timed lifespan. The world is ending and only God has the New Life Code that is necessary to keep it going. So the world is ending one way or another, but just as God planned.

10 .  now using another stupid name, neither science
or you can prove more then 6000 years but the comment you made after that gave you away again, Jew hating pig, I will someday hear your screem''s from hell if you don''t change your way from the little god to the real God:
 
BENFOX   9/22/2009 5:29 AM
11 .  The earth isn’t even 6000 years old, getting close.
The earth IS much older then six thousand years!
What about the jew scum that breed WITH pigs? How can you tell the difference in their offspring? All look like jews with round snouts!! Pigs squeal a lot and so do jews!

If this women is wrong in bringing people into the world that He want''s to be here, then what about the muslims who bred like cattle? Too many wife''s and children? With 1.5 billion, they still can''t win over Gods Chosen.

16 .  The Peace of God or skid marks?
Have no fear, for when Almighty God The Father in Heaven rejoins Heaven
and Earth as it was in Genesis, He will bring back every species that wicked greedy mankind extinctified, Amen and Halelujah.

Only one group will become permanently extinct...unbelieving unrepentant mankind.

17 .  Mad dogs.....and English gentlemen 3
As with all Revivals, there has been a terrible backlash, or schizophrenic reversal.....''evolution'', a scientific delusion which has tried to defy Genesis, a social master race and genetics leading to the Holocaust, and Lenin''s dogs which nearly rid the world of the pageant of Monarchy.

A few days ago some more British Trades s set out to boycott yet more Israeli industries.

If Les.UK and his pals think they are so clever, the essential numeral per UK family is now below the critical number which sustains the National population......if this sounds a bit complicated, it means we are not producing enough offspring per family unit......or lets make it even more simple we the British peoples are in serious decline
In other words we need to follow the wonderful example of Rachel Krishevsky or we''re scuppered.
 
Watchman   9/22/2009 2:06 AM
18 .  Stranger you need a lesson too?
Overpopulation on this planet is directly attributed to the massive degradation to earths resources.

Yes the earth has over 6.5 billion people but these numbers are depleting energy resources in decades which took billions of years to in. I''m not even going to include the thousands of species humans have killed off into extinction which will likely NEVER return to the planet.
"God''''s desire for souls who would be raised to love and worship Him. They are the only ones who would ever really care about the earth anyway." THE ONLY ONES? how prejudice of you to even make such a stupid comment, this lady is a drain on the planet the only thing she cared about was getting laid. And if all in all it doesn''t matter because of your asteroid scenery then why waste valuable resources now, if you care about the planet then accelerate the inevitable with a big bottle of sleeping pills.

The Lord also put it on their hearts to start praying fervently for the Restoration and Regathering of Israel.

In their own lifetimes their prayers were NOT answered, but even better, from Heaven''s grandstands, they saw the first Isrealis in the 1880s returning back to their Covenanted homeland.

20 .  Mad dogs.....and English gentlemen
In Victoria''s age, a Jew, Benjamin Disraeli was elected Prime Minister, the Nation''s very highest acolade.
(Genesis 12:3)
''''I will bless those that bless Israel,
and curse those that curse Israel''''......
God was true to his words, and the greatest Empire ever was the result.

It began by the Nation going down on their knees, begging The Lord Almighty to spare them from Bonaparte.

The Lord was faithful again, and Admiral Lord Nelson''s Navy guaranteed our protection, only that was not all.





 
Watchman   9/22/2009 1:00 AM
21 .  So yes, be fruitful and multiply and fulfill
God''s desire for souls who would be raised to love and worship Him. They are the only ones who would ever really care about the earth anyway.
 
Stranger   9/22/2009 12:17 AM
22 .  The earth can sustain many times over what
population it already has. With attrition by age, disease, wars, catastrophes, and families with no or few children, and with all the Muslim be-headings, it will take a long time to reach that level. But don''t all you Mother Earthers fret. Don''t all you tree hugging environmental animal rights nuts worry either. The earth has an appointment with an asteroid and Armageddon. God''s green earth is about to be browned out. So as much as I love the environment and do not wish to harm it, the world as we know it has an appointment with God. The unbelieving God-haters and the atheists, agnostics, and followers of false religions and cults are about to be eradicated. Sorry folks Star Trek, and Star Gate are just make believe.

24 .  Kudos Rachel !
How many Jewish children perished during the Holocaust when
''Rachel was weeping for her chidren'' as she was too in the days when evil king Herod destroyed all the Jewish babes in his quest to murder the King of the Jews.
This is a heartwarming story of God''s blessing to His People Israel who are
re-populating their Homeland as prophesied !

25 .  I don''t do kilometers, just simple math, didn''t
know you were so smart but, smart enough not to use your own name? Even if your right and I''m not sure I agree with you, then give all the people in the world the southern part of the US and you still have ton''s of land left over, where is the over population my friend, just away to kill more of the unborn, it''s that really your cause? I have heard about some land not useful but, strange Israel, a barren land has become a garden, wow, I guess God isn''t in Charge? He promised Israel when the people are called back from around the world He would Bless Them. Can''t see the forest through the treee? Your just wrong on the subject, your math and brain still need a lot of work and your trust in the God of The Bible needs to grow, so you can discern what is coming because of people like you:
 
BENFOX   9/21/2009 10:39 PM
26 .  BENFOX learn some basic math! you IDIOT!
Firstly for the earth to sustain itself without degrading the planet at the current usage the MAXIMUM acceptable population level would under 2 billion.

2ndly your idiotic Texas scenario is easily proven false if you take 5 minutes and do the basic math (obviously out of your reach)

1 Square Kilometer = 247.105381467165 Acres

Texas — Area: (696,241 km2)
=171971527 ACRES

Estimated population of the world in 2009 = 6785000000

171971527 / 6785000000

= 40 people PER Acre!

I don''t'' know where you went to school or if you even did you are obviously the IDIOT in this case.

This women is a drain on the planet, plain and simple.

As for Ellie try to comprehend the above. Maybe you should get together with your buddy BENFOX and start a study session, you both need it.

Can give everyone on earth 3 acres in Texas and fit in the entire population of the world today, sure leaves a lot of land around the world open?
