In the apostle John’s vision in Revelation he saw a heavenly woman crying out “in her pains and in her agony to give birth.”

God’s heavenly “woman” would, of course, be perfect, and the birth would be without literal pain. The labor pains would, therefore, symbolically indicate that the “woman” would realize that the birth was at hand; she would be in expectation of it shortly.​—Re 12:2.
