The "birth pains of the Mashiach" (Hebrew: Chevlei Mashiach) is a concept from Jewish and Christian theology describing the era of intense tribulation and suffering preceding the arrival of the Mashiach (Messiah). Like a woman in labor, the world will experience increasing pain and anguish, with signs including widespread wars, famines, earthquakes, and social upheaval, culminating in the Messianic age of redemption and peace.
