WORK IN PROGRESS:
This post is a work in progress and is subject to changes, revisions, edits and deletions. I've presented it here to give you an idea of a general concept; however, I'm not sure I've done a very good job explaining it. Please bear with me as I continue to work through this.
When it comes to birth and labour pains, there are three scenarios:
- NO PAIN, NO BIRTH:
- " ...you who never bore a child ... you who were never in labor ..." (Isaiah 54:1. NIV)
- In this world, I've never given birth, never been in labour.
- Also, until 2005, I had never given birth to a new state of bestowal.
- FIRST A PERSON HAS PAIN, THEN GIVES BIRTH:
- "As a pregnant woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pain ..." (Isaiah 26:17, NIV)
- The diagram below explains this scenario.
- FIRST A PERSON GIVES BIRTH, THEN HAS PAIN:
- "Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this?" (Isaiah 66:7-8, NIV)
- The diagram below explains this scenario.
