Today, we’re unpacking the powerful metaphor of pregnancy that Jesus used in Matthew 24 to foretell the imminent judgment on Jerusalem. Many are surprised to learn that the “birth pangs” and signs described by Jesus weren’t for a distant future but were fulfilled in the first century. In this episode, we’ll explore the striking accuracy of Jesus’ prophecy and why it’s crucial to our understanding of biblical eschatology today. Discover how this metaphor of labor fits into the timeline of AD 30 to AD 70, how Jerusalem was the woman in travail, and what it means for the Church as the new covenant bride of Christ. We’ll reveal why these truths shift our perspective away from future tribulation fears and toward celebrating Christ’s victory and His ongoing reign. 🔥 Ready to see prophecy with fresh eyes? 🔥 📖 Want to understand why the destruction of Jerusalem was central to God’s redemptive plan?
