2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
A. She, the woman, gave birth to a child.
B. Most commentators agree that the child is Jesus. Satan will do whatever he can to stop Christ from being preached in the world.
C. Bringing Christ to the world can be painful. It can result in imprisonment, suffering and even death. The gospel is being spread today, not in comfort, but in pain and anguish.
