During that time it will be hard for women who are pregnant or have small babies, because very bad times will come to this land. God will be angry with these people.
The time is coming when people will say, ‘The women who cannot have babies are the ones God has blessed. It’s really a blessing that they have no children to care for.’

They asked Jesus, “Do you hear what these children are saying?” He answered, “Yes. The Scriptures say, ‘You have taught children and babies to give praise.’ Have you not read that Scripture?”
