Matthew 24:8 (ESV Strong's)
All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
The human gestation period is 40 weeks. The wilderness journey of the Israelites lasted 40 years. Jesus spent 40 days of temptation in the wilderness after His baptism.
Our time on the earth after rebirth in Christ is a time of gestation as we undergo the birth pains of being transformed into the image of Christ. We walk with Him in the wilderness journey through the valley of the shadow of death to reach the throne of light. We become the temple of God.
