"All these are the beginning of sorrows" Matthew 24:8. In this chapter of scripture Jesus is telling his disciples what will happen to consumate the end of this age and the coming of the Kingdom, the renewal of the Earth.

Sorrows translated from Greek in the Strong's Concordance means: G3601; a pang or throe especially of childbirth: - pain sorrow travail. Thayer's Definition the pain of childbirth, travail pain, birth pangs

give me the rhythm, a steady heartbeat birth pangs are closer, the pain on repeat music comes forth from creatures small and great fat raindrops drumming,a new age awaits wind whistles and moans through tall trembling trees the mountains bow down with weak shaky knees the heavens look on as stars light the way one foot in the sea, another in clay the rhythm picks up, crescendo,climax water breaks forth as again Earth contracts we time the pains with excitement and zeal our lamps full of oil and garden is tilled Watchmen wake up! we wait for trump seven new age, new Earth, the Kingdom of Heaven
