Matthew 24:7-8 English Standard Version

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

Mark 13:8  English Standard Version

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.

Many believers search prophecies in hopes of placing our current time in relationship to a time which we hope to see.

It is important to note here that all the signs of these beginning birth pains have always been with us. Is it possible that the past can be seen as false labor pains? Mankind has been hoping for Christ’s second coming since the first century. Two thousand years later we await the same event.

1 Thessalonians 5:3  English Standard Version

 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

In this present day peace and security are not seen. 

Daniel 9:27 English Standard Version

And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.

May those who have ears, hear. AMEN
