Isaiah 66:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Hear the word of the Lord, all ye that tremble at his [a]word, Your brethren that hated you, and cast you out for my Name’s sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 [b]A voice soundeth from the city, even a voice from the Temple, the voice of the Lord, that recompenseth his enemies fully.
7 Before [c]she travailed, she brought forth: and before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

- Isaiah 66:7 Meaning, that the restoration of the Church should be so sudden and contrary to all men’s opinions, as when a woman is delivered before she looked for it, and that without pain in travail.
