The average pregnancy lasts for nine months, but the woman knows the time of her delivery because of the labor pains. Once she goes into labor it is but a short step to the birth of her long-awaiting baby. And so it shall be, said Jesus, concerning the End Times. The incubation period may take some time, but the generation that experiences increasing labor pains will also witness the last days. Famines, diseases, earthquakes and other disasters are prophesied to increase in intensity and number as we come to the close of the Church Age. It is later than we think!
