Beginning
of sorrows
"And ye shall hear of wars
and rumors of wars; See that you are not alarmed, because you need all these
things; but it is not yet the end. For nation against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes
in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. "(Matthew
24.6-8)
Dolores
= ὠδίν Odin pain
but referring especially childbirth. Great suffering, agony, figurative
extension of a pain that is increasing, with the involvement of further relief.
Summarizing all this, the main idea of the
word is "a pain that is rising up to a great relief" that
especially points out the case of a woman giving birth and pre-birth pains. "Beginnings of sorrows are
these." (Mark 13.8)
In the
Bible there are two parts in parallel: the world without Christ, and Christ
Church. Many are found in one of these two deliveries. If you have not
given her heart to Christ and live in sin, or if you are having known Christ
has turned away from the Lord's ways and lives astray, or is in the
church living as a worldly and unholy, you are included in the labor of the world without Christ.
If instead those who has given his heart to
the Lord Jesus Christ and live a set apart from sin, the world and the
flesh life, sanctified by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, then it is
included in the delivery of the church of Christ. Now it is noteworthy that the
"beginning of sorrows" is the
evidence that labor is near, at the doors.
Jesus was explicit about this global event, "Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath; For
then shall be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the
world until now, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no
flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
"(Matthew 24.20-22)
There
will shock not only on earth but even in space" Immediately
after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon
shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers
of heaven shall be shaken. "(Matthew 24.29)
Some will claim "has always been
earthquakes" Without doubt this is true! But the point is that from Haiti
in the Caribbean to Chile in the Pacific, then Taiwan near Japan, and reaching
Turkey in Asia Minor, can not think that is the same. We are facing an
earthquake that is shaking the entire globe. We do not count on the
snowstorms that plague the European Continent, floods, windstorms.
-Hunger:
About 795 million people worldwide do not have enough food to lead a
healthy and active life. That's almost one of every nine people on earth. Poor
nutrition is the cause of almost half (45%) of deaths in children under five -
year 3.1 million
-Pestilences: Aids,
ebola, cancer, zikavirus. Plague can be a very serious disease to humans,
with a fatality rate of between 30% and 60%, studies show the global health
situation as evidenced by determining the burden of disease, loss of Health

Labor
pains are not the judgments of God on earth, but
notice that the world is about to give birth to the Great Tribulation, which
is the judgment of God against sin and sinners who have wasted two thousand
years of divine patience.
The important thing is to recognize if these
birth pangs have already begun, no doubt, can be categorical in saying that the
birth pangs announcing the birth of the Great Tribulation are present
and unequivocally palpable today. Wars,
kingdom against kingdom continue next week,
