Chaotic events of destruction and distress are happening on earth with more frequency; as if she herself wanted to communicate something to us in a conscious and desperate way; crying out in her anguish for something or someone superior. Like a woman in labor, her painful contractions become more regular and painful.

The power with which nature moves today should make man consider his condition and behavior; with himself, his environment, and especially with the one who put in his body an eternal spirit.

Romans 8:21-22 NKJV

21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

Matthew 24:7 NKJV

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
