Romans 8:20-23 NKJ – Renewing & restoration of God’s Creation: 

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Creation groans and labors like a woman who is about to give birth:

22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

Micah 4:10:

Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, Like a woman in birth pangs.

For now you shall go forth from the city, You shall dwell in the field, And to Babylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered; There the Lord will redeem you From the hand of your enemies.

Isaiah 66:8-10 (NKJV):

8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?

Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children.

9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.

“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.

The righteous shall inherit the promises of Jerusalem:

10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem, And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
