Mark 13:4-8 Devotional

I was just in the process of doing my morning email checks and each day I get a "The Sayings of Jesus" devotional, thought I would share todays with every one here.

"And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs." - Mark 13:4-8

Does it sound like we are in the beginnings of the "birth-pangs"?

2012 is meant by the birth pang. Kingdom against Kingdom is also menkind against the Gods.
