The time of gestation in a pregnant woman is considered to be 9 months, divided into trimesters of 3 months each, this of course is for a normal full-term delivery. 

It seems that the things happening in the world are going into another

phase, so perhaps we are going into the 2nd trimester of signs prophetically.  The Lord DID compare signs of His return to birth pangs.

So when a woman is about to give birth, her pains are almost unbearably strong and obvious. By the grace and mercy of our Loving Lord, we will have been raptured before that. However, He may be told by the Father to get us at the '11th' hour also.

At any rate, the 'birth pangs' are starting to pick up!  Hallelujah!! The Lord is almost here!
