The Birthing Pains Are About To Begin
Jesus warned with precision. In Matthew 24:6–8, He spoke of wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes, and then made a critical statement many overlook: “All these are the beginning of sorrows.” The Greek word translated sorrows is ōdin, meaning birth pains. These are not random events. They are patterned, escalating, and purposeful. They announce that something is about to be born.
What we are witnessing now is not the fullness of judgment. It is the opening phase. The contractions are beginning.
Earthquakes Increasing in California and the San Francisco Bay Area
Over the past two weeks, seismic activity in California has surged. Hundreds of earthquakes have been recorded statewide, with a significant concentration in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. Multiple swarms have rattled the region, including activity along the San Andreas Fault and surrounding zones. These are not isolated tremors. They are clustered, persistent, and escalating.
Mainstream outlets have taken notice, reporting on earthquake swarms in California and warning once again about the long-anticipated “Big One.” While scientists debate probabilities and timelines, Scripture already provides the framework. Jesus said earthquakes would increase in frequency and intensity as the age draws to a close. He did not say they would begin everywhere at once. Birth pains start in one place and spread.
America sits on multiple fault lines, both physically and spiritually. California, and particularly the San Francisco Bay Area, has long stood as a cultural, economic, and ideological gateway for the nation. What begins there does not stay there.
Prior Prophetic Warnings From Our Ministry
On May 16, 2021, our ministry published a prophetic dream detailing a major earthquake striking the San Francisco Bay Area, severe enough to cause damage to the Golden Gate Bridge. The dream was direct, unsettling, and specific. It was not framed as speculation, but as a warning.
Years later, on September 11, 2024, exactly 23 years after 9/11, another prophetic dream and vision was released. In that revelation, an earthquake was shown as a sign to the nation. Not an end in itself, but a marker. A signal that a series of catastrophic events would begin unfolding like falling dominoes.
The number 23 carries profound biblical weight. It is repeatedly associated with rebellion, mystery, and judgment. In prophetic symbolism, it aligns with the spirit of Mystery Babylon and the influence of Jezebel—systems of corruption, seduction, and false authority that Scripture says will be judged.
In that same vision, the message was unmistakable: it would begin in America.
The 9/11 anniversary dream did not stop at an earthquake. It revealed fire on the West Coast, and storms, flooding, and tsunamis on the East Coast. The nation was struck from both sides, land and sea. The Church was not portrayed as ignorant, but as a witness—present, watching, and accountable.
Then a voice spoke clearly:“Wait for the earthquake to occur first.”
That statement matters. It establishes order. Sequence. Timing.
The earthquake is not the end. It is the beginning.
The Cathedral as a Sign
On November 30, 2024, another prophetic warning was published, pointing to the Notre-Dame Cathedral. A cathedral that was burned by fire stood in ruins and was later rebuilt and reopened. In Scripture, fire is both judgment and purification. A rebuilt structure does not always mean restored holiness. Sometimes it signals resumed activity without repentance.
The cathedral stood as a sign. Restoration without repentance. Worship without reverence. A world attempting to move forward while ignoring the reason the fire fell in the first place.
Scripture repeatedly warns that when sacred things are corrupted, judgment follows—not to destroy indiscriminately, but to expose, cleanse, and separate.
What Jesus Meant by Birth Pains
Jesus concluded Matthew 24:8 with these words:“All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
Birth pains start mild, then intensify. They come closer together. They cannot be stopped once they begin. And they always lead to a birth.
What is being birthed is not chaos for chaos’s sake. It is the final phase of God’s redemptive plan. Judgment on systems. Refinement of the Church. Awakening of the remnant. Preparation for what comes next.















You are absolutely correct in what is coming. I have been watching now for some time. Everything clicking into place with prophecy. You know Dawson, many Christians I know don't seem to see it...refuse to believe that we are now there. So I am making a list of things transpiring to show them that we ARE there now. God be with all of us, with you and yours. Merry Christmas to Everyone.
