Labor Pains as Metaphor
(From Forerunner Commentary)

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The apostle speaks of those who are unaware ("they"), who are not paying attention to the signs of the times. A pregnant woman clearly shows that she is ready to give birth to her child. However, though her status is known, no one can pinpoint the exact time that the contractions will begin. A woman's labor pains parallel the signs of the times. No one will be able to pinpoint the exact time of Christ's arrival, but we can know that it is near and be prepared. John W. Ritenbaugh The World, the Church and Laodiceanism

1 Thessalonians 5:1  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Compare this to Acts 1:6-8. They had learned a great deal in the intervening nineteen years. John W. Ritenbaugh Don't Be a Prudent Agnostic
