Exegesis
The final demonstrative tauta {ταῦτα | taûta} picks up all preceding events, with arche odinon {ἀρχὴ ὠδίνων | archḗ ōdínōn} framing them as early “birth pains” through a genitive-of-quality metaphor. English word order is adjusted to clarify sequence while preserving Greek emphasis on parallelism and progression.
In context — Mark 13:8
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines; these things are the beginning of birth pains.
