What will happen when the earth is delivered from the curse?
The earth will be delivered of the curse, pictured as a mother delivering a child. The phenomena occurring are travail or earth pangs—the beginning of sorrows, not the end—indicating the earth is now approaching the day of her delivery.
Les explains that the events happening on the earth are just the beginning of sorrows, or travail, or earth pangs, not the end. This shows that the earth is now approaching the day of her delivery. Using the same language as a child being delivered from its mother, Les teaches that the earth is going to be delivered of the curse. The travail is the precursor to that delivery.
Matthew 24:8
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
