== Source of the Prophecy == <blockquote>"Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the ends of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, the pregnant woman and she who is giving birth together; a great assembly shall return here." β Yirmiyahu 31:7</blockquote>[[The Talmud|The Gemara]] relates regarding this verse:<blockquote>Rabban Gamliel was sitting and expounding that in the future a woman will give birth every day, as it says: "The pregnant woman and she who is giving birth together." A certain student scoffed at him, saying: "There is nothing new under the sun." Rabban Gamliel said to him: "Come, and I will show you an example of this in our world." He went out and showed him a chicken. β [[Masekhet Shabbos|Shabbos]] 30b</blockquote>'''Translation''': Rabban Gamliel sat and taught that in the future days of Moshiach, a woman will give birth every day, as Yirmiyahu prophesies, "The pregnant woman and she who is giving birth together." This means that on the same day she becomes pregnant with one child, she will have already given birth to another child earlier, thus "together." There was a student there who scoffed at Rabban Gamliel and said: How is this possible? It is written (Koheles 1:9), "There is nothing new under the sun," so how can this new phenomenon of a woman giving birth every day occur? Rabban Gamliel answered him: Come, I will show you an example of this that already exists in our world today. He went out and showed him a chicken, since a chicken lays an egg every day.
