Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your God. —Isaiah 66:9
Once a baby is coming, it’s not going back in.

We’re living in the labor pains, and birth is getting closer every day. We’re seeing the increase in earthquakes, volcanic activity, and extreme weather such as heatwaves and wildfires. We’re seeing the increase in diseases, and this includes sexually transmitted diseases. We’re seeing the increase in locusts and other pests. We’re seeing more and more comets, the earth is spinning faster now than at any time in the past half century, and the magnetic north pole is moving faster and faster toward Siberia. Labor pains aren’t limited to just earthquakes, wars and rumors of wars, and famine.

Monday, July 3, 2023, marked the hottest day on Earth ever recorded, according to data from the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction. The average global temperature reached 62.62 degrees Fahrenheit, surpassing a record set in 2016. Researchers suspect the shift is due to a combination of climate change and El Niño.
A new report has revealed that, over the past eight years, the impacts of climate change are not only growing worse, the rate at which they are getting worse is accelerating. https://www.yahoo.com/news/climate-impacts-worsening-faster-ever-200919049.html
“We have reached a tipping point on the need for climate action. The disruption to our climate and our planet is already worse than we thought, and it is moving faster than predicted,” U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said in a video message that accompanied the release of the report. “This report shows just how far off course we are.” Already, the U.N. reports, “the global average mean surface temperature for the period from 2017–2021 is among the warmest on record, https://www.yahoo.com/news/un-report-predicts-climate-catastrophe-absent-major-action-193336665.html

In regard to the increase in earthquakes, here’s what the USGS has to say: The ComCat earthquake catalog contains an increasing number of earthquakes in recent years–not because there are more earthquakes, but because there are more seismic instruments and they are able to record more earthquakes.
They say there aren’t more earthquakes, just better equipment to detect them. But there are more earthquakes, and as the world continues to die, they’ll increase, possibly up to the point of every minute or every hour. We don’t know how bad the wearing out of the earth will get when the end comes.
Diseases and Other Labor Pains

The following image can give us an idea how labor pains work. This is the magnetic north pole moving faster and faster toward Siberia, 34 miles a year:
Some believe this increasing movement has nothing to do with climate change.
Here’s Jesus Christ in regard to the end-times:
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. (Matthew 24:7)
Hate is increasing as well. Most Bible translations use the word nation in verse 7. The Greek word is ethnos. Even though the word nation is technically correct, it downplays the full meaning of the scripture. People may think of a country rather than an ethnic group. Ethnos can be taken to mean race or ethnicity. So, the scripture could also read “race will rise against race” or “ethnicity will rise against ethnicity.”
An ethnic group or ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other, usually on the basis of presumed similarities such as a common language, ancestry, history, society, culture, nation or social treatment within their residing area. Ethnicity is often used synonymously with the term nation, particularly in cases of ethnic nationalism, and is separate from but related to the concept of races. (Wikipedia)
We’re seeing racial divides today. The United States is growing more and more lawless. Abraham Lincoln, quoting Jesus Christ, said a nation divided cannot stand. Let’s read this prophecy:
The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor. (Isaiah 3:5)
We’ve also seen an increase in the number of women in leadership roles.
Youths oppress my people, and women rule over them.
Only God knows the appointed time of the end. The increase in frequency and intensity of these things, like contractions on a pregnant woman, tells us the baby is coming. But let’s listen to Jesus in the following scripture:
A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world. (John 16:21)
Jesus tells the apostles that in the same way, they have sorrow now, but he will see them again and they will rejoice, and no one will take away their joy. When Jesus comes, we will forget our pain and sorrow and rejoice forever. Let’s listen to God:
For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. (Isaiah 65:17)
Heaven and hell are real. So, let’s not wait until disaster strikes to call on the Lord. Let’s accept Jesus Christ as Lord and savior now and do the right thing in life. Let’s obey the commandments and receive God’s promise of eternal life. Peace to all.
