What is the "Beginning of sorrows"

















What is the "Beginning of sorrows"

This phrase is found in Matthew 24:8, It's  also called "first of the troubles", "early pains of childbirth", beginning of birth pangs".
It's is also repeated in 1Thes 5:3.

Mat 24:8  All these are the beginning of sorrows. 

1Th 5:3  When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.

What are all these? They are those happenings as described by Jesus from v5 - v7.
- v5 false Christs will come
- v6 wars and rumours of wars will be heard
- v7 nation rise against nation, kingdom rise against kingdom
- v7 famines, pestilence, earthquakes will happen

ALL THESE were the beginning of sorrows. They happened during their generation.
