There are many prophecies in the Bible that have two fulfillments.
Also, here are some ideas to consider regarding birth pains...
Jehovah told Eve: "...in pain you will give birth to children..." (Gen 3.16) This was punishment for having disobeyed him. Jesus did NOT disobey him. Maybe the birth of God's Kingdom was without suffering pain because Jesus was obedient.

Jesus is not yet a "Husband"...
His wedding is in the future.

Jesus is not yet a "Husband"...
His wedding is in the future.

Jesus answered the apostles at Matthew 6:9-13 (see below).
The prayer at John chapter 17 is his personal prayer to his Father in heaven (see below).
Matthew 6:9-13
 “You [his apostles] must pray, then, this way:
“‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth. 11 Give us today our bread for this day; 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one.’
 
John 17:1-26
Jesus spoke these things, and raising his eyes to heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your son so that your son may glorify you, 2 just as you have given him authority over all flesh, so that he may give everlasting life to all those whom you have given to him. 3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 4 I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to do. 5 So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was. 6 “I have made your name manifest to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word. 7 Now they have come to know that all the things you gave me are from you; 8 because I have given them the sayings that you gave me, and they have accepted them and have certainly come to know that I came as your representative, and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I make request concerning them; I make request, not concerning the world, but concerning those whom you have given me, because they are yours; 10 and all my things are yours and yours are mine, and I have been glorified among them. 11 “I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, watch over them on account of your own name, which you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. 12 When I was with them, I used to watch over them on account of your own name, which you have given me; and I have protected them, and not one of them is destroyed except the son of destruction, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. 14 I have given your word to them, but the world has hated them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. 15 “I do not request that you take them out of the world, but that you watch over them because of the wicked one. 16 They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. 17 Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth. 18 Just as you sent me into the world, I also sent them into the world. 19 And I am sanctifying myself in their behalf, so that they also may be sanctified by means of truth. 20 “I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word, 21 so that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one. 23 I in union with them and you in union with me, in order that they may be perfected into one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you loved them just as you loved me. 24 Father, I want those whom you have given me to be with me where I am, in order that they may look upon my glory that you have given me, because you loved me before the founding of the world. 25 Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you, but I know you, and these have come to know that you sent me. 26 I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”
 
 

It seemed a "given" at the time ... that 5 of the animals brought onto the Ark in the category that required seven animals, would be food for the other animals.
7 minus 5 = 2.
This was before refrigeration, and Purina Lion and Tiger Chow.
The Kangaroos had to be especially healthy, to be able to hop and then swim all the way to Australia.
Noah's son was in charge of the check list, and checked off the Chickens , but forgot the Unicorns.

Beautiful..... WOW          #3. Moth Orchid (Phalaenopsis amabilis)
With more than 25,000 different kinds of orchids on the planet, it’s no wonder that more than a couple of them made our weird list. The Moth Orchid is the most common type of orchid and bears the name because of its supposed resemblance to a moth in flight. Native to Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and northern Australia, the Moth Orchid isn’t exactly hard to find, and it comes in nearly every colour of the rainbow. So what exactly sets it apart from its 24,999+ orchid siblings? The Moth Orchid’s uncanny ability to have multiple blooming periods— when grown in optimal conditions of course!

#5. Naked Man Orchid (Orchis italica)  Haha...  a so funny name for a flower
Is it an alien? Is it a sea anemone? Nope, itÂ’s the Naked Man Orchid! This little guy (or guys) also known as the Hanging Man Orchid, are native to the Mediterranean regions and resemble tiny little hanging naked men, from their dotted eyes and smiles right down to their you-know-whats. Naked Man Orchids come in all sizes and usually, range in colour from light purplish white to deep purply-pink. The Naked Man Orchid is classified as having a threatened status, perhaps because of its popularity as an antidiarrheal, antiflatulent and aphrodisiac.
Another crazy fact about these fun flowers: theyÂ’re used in making the drink Salep, also called Turkish Delight.

Very  good !!    Jehovah  is  helping  alot  ~  we  only  must  read  in  HIS  word....  mostly  we're  feeling  better  after  that.  And  with  a  prayer  it  works,  YES

My  fav.  Bible  Scripture  was  by  starting  my  study,  always  Prov. 18:10 !   Now  i've  so  many  favorities The  same  by  our  KD  songs....  In  the  past  ONLY  the  older  Nr. 91  and  now  many  songs  I  love                                                                     

GREAT COMMENT!! It is wonderful how the Bible gives ALL the answers to ALL of man's questions!

NO  question.....   ALL  animals  came  first,  bec. Jehovah  created  perfect  animals  and  NO  eggs,  hahaha  -  also  the  perfect  plants  we  saw  and  NO  seeds....  The  same  last  with  Adam  and  Eve  -  NOT  Babies  HE  created,  but  perfect  adult  humans !  FIRST  ADAM  AND  THEN  EVE.
EGGS  AND  LITTLE BABIES  COMING  FROM  THE  ADULT  CREATIONS !   WE  ALL  KNOW  THAT -  HAHA



Does a Hen Need a Rooster to Lay Eggs?
This is the most-asked question by people curious about chickens. Most people are quite relieved to learn that the answer is "no"-- the hen (female) will lay eggs with or without a rooster (male) present.
WHAT  DO YOU  THINK ? 

Jehovah is such a beautiful artist!

At the end of God’s promise covenants, a seed is produced.  Jesus was the promised seed of the old covenant and as that seed, fulfilled God’s promise.   He is the promise of life, if we accept him Mark 9:7
The New Covenant will also produce a ‘seed’. Gal 3:7,14,29;4:28,31,26  This seed is the Bride of Christ/”144,000”, fulfilled; as a result of the “first resurrection” to life.   Gal 4:26; 1 Pet 1:23 Rev 3:21; 20:4-6  She is the promised seed of the New Covenant – a “new creation”, and the promise of life, if we accept her.  Matt 5:14; 10:40; 1 Tim 4:16
At that point, one more eternal covenant/promise with God begins -  the Kingdom Covenant, for the rest of Abraham’s seed.  At the “second resurrection”, and when the Bride “comes down out of heaven”, the rest of God’s children receive life on earth.  Ps 37:11,29; Dan 2:44; Exod 37:25; Rev 21:2
Jesus is the savior through his sacrifice, for the “first fruits” - for his wife/Bride/144,000/New Jerusalem/faithful anointed priests and kings.  They become one  Eph 5:23,25-27,30  He is also the savior for God’s spiritual children that come from the bond with his “wife”/New Covenant promise fulfilled.  Rev 22:17   In this way, Jesus is the “Eternal Father”, bringing life to all, through the ransom sacrifice.  John 8:12; 1 John 2:2; Isa 9:6; 1 Cor 15:45 
I hope this makes sense.  

OH,   you're  welcome  my  sister  @DeeDee       A  wonderful  Psalm-verse....
We  never  had  it,  but  Jehovah  will  give  it  to  us  all,
what  a  precious  gift,  for  everlasting  time  and  life !
                      ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•. ?

Thank you @Queen Esther!  I love these new pictures!  Beautiful...Our peace will be SO abundant!!!
But the meek will possess the earth,
And they will find exquisite delight
in the abundance of peace. – Ps. 37:11

Hosea 2:18Good News Translation (GNT)
18 At that time I will make a covenant with all the wild animals and birds, so that they will not harm my people. I will also remove all weapons of war from the land, all swords and bows, and will let my people live in peace and safety.
Good News Translation (GNT)

Then  I  will  a  little  help  by  feeling  closer....  OKAY

FIRST  PARADISE  MEETINGS       ENJOY   SISTER  @DeeDee
AND  ALL  OTHERS.....    ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•. ?

YES,  my  sister...  we  were  thinking  the  same   I  had  NO  other  thought  to  that  picture !  But  men  often  thinking  different  -  we  all  know  that....   SO  simple  your  way    THANK  YOU  @DeeDee .....

For example, here is an example of the "News" idea.

That's what I was thinking of...that the time is short before there is no more time.

I  THINK  ITS  THE  LAPSING  END-TIME....

If it was up to me, this site would be Bible 303 - an elective.
Bible 101 is learning the Bible. It is a requirement. Bible 201 is applying it. It is a requirement. 
Bible 303 is seeing how people reevaluate their vow after a time - who sometimes back out of it - and why. They provide vivid examples of Bible themes that become meaningful only when you see real examples of them. Ultimately, it is simple. The myriad reasons people leave, generally collapse into one: "Demas has forsaken me because he loved the present system of things."
You see people choose individual rights over the Bible-required model of self sacrifice. (rights over responsibility)
You see people who insist upon extracting the straw from their brother's eye. 
You see people who cannot forgive.
You see people who go livid over authority, to the point that Miriam and Korah's carryings on are but polite disagreements in comparison. 
You see modern examples of what seems incomprehensible otherwise - Jews wanting to go back to Egypt - who would even stone those dissuading them.
You see people who stumble even seven times, and lose all desire to get up. The reward is farther off than they first thought. The price to pay is higher.
You see countless examples of a line you might not appreciate otherwise: "Jehovah's let his heart become hardened." I mean, nobody ever yields an inch here or softens one iota. (it is true of many subjects today) Given only the caveat that you never know for sure just who is who, you cannot reason with such ones - their mind is long made up - and you shouldn't even try, IMO. When you address them, you are addressing the audience beyond. To reason with them specifically over time would make me uncomfortable - I would think I am violating such verses as have nothing to do with certain ones. Speaking to whoever might be reading later is not the same. In some cases, the best example you can give for such ones is to slap the villains hard.
The best way to get people to do something is to tell them they can't. New Christians, or immature Christians will come online, and some are like kids playing in the street - blind to the fact that there are villains trying to run them down, swerving like terrorists to nail as many as possible. There is a place for ones more seasoned to hang around, because they can sometimes succeed in hurling a stake into their spokes, sending the nasties head over handlebars. 
Of course, you can also empathize with those who have had hard times and suggest alternatives to their just giving up or even opposing the ones with whom they were once best buddies.
It's not such a bad thing for brothers to see this, IMO. Bible 303 is an elective, because you cannot blow off as nothing the verses, such as Haggai, that say the unclean will rub off on the clean, and not the reverse. "Leave them be, blind guides is what they are," Jesus says, not "Let's rumble!"
Bible 303, therefore, cannot be required and it is not for everybody. But for those so inclined to submit their faith to the tests that will surely come anyway, and see others in various stages of testing theirs - and some having failed outright -  it is elucidating, because advanced Bible themes as love for God and love for the brotherhood and Christian loyalty play out right under your nose. You can ask yourself: "Just why am I serving Jehovah, anyway?"
2 Peter (or is it Jude?) speaks of those who despise authority. I am convinced that was at the root of everything in the first century just like it is today. Even should you want to live immorally, that will not go down as the reason for your apostasy. In the greater religious world, if you want to live immorally, you simply live immorally. It is only when someone tells you that you can't that it becomes a problem - and then the oppressive authority will go down as the problem, not the determination to transgress Bible laws of how we should live.
 

One of my favorite Scriptures is (Proverbs 17:22) A joyful heart is good medicine

I look forward to it!! I like things that make me feel closer to Paradise!
