Featured What is the time of Jacob’s trouble?

are you relating the freefall to Jacob's trouble?

 

Its the end times regarding Israel and Antichrist, per your question

 

I believe it takes God's crushing of the Gog-Magog alliance to create a worldwide political atmosphere in which the Third Temple can be built. The world currently politically bullies Israel. That atmosphere must change, and the catalyst for that change is fear. The world must recognize that God defends Israel. Which is exactly what the Gog-Magog war displays.

I believe Jacob's Trouble likely follows very quickly after the Gog-Magog war. As I suspect Israel will not hesitate to build the Third Temple following the Gog-Magog war.

I believe their is a good chance that the Antichrist may emerge as a perceived hero from the Gog-Magog alliance massacre. With the Antichrist magnifying himself as a usurper instead of God. The same way faithless King Saul magnified himself for the great victory that his blessed faith-filled son Jonathan initiated.

 

"You tell me..."

I asked first.

 

indeed

 

Are you seeing the clock of God? Look at the clock of God.

According to the wrath of God that will fall upon all the nations, these are the prophetic messages of His two witnesses to be fulfilled from now on, in addition to the plague of PESTILENCE that is underway:

James 5:v.1-6
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

- The global financial system will collapse completely
- The nations will suffer very serious FAMINE that comes on earth
- There will also be earthquakes in several places
- Nations will be in great tribulation and anguish
- All kind of structures of the Devil's World will be demolished, it will be as an IMPLOSION, the fall of the structures of the World of Devil will be some thing like the fall of the World Trade Center, and it is already falling.


Jeremiah 25:v.32-38
32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

33 And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.

35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.

37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

Isaiah 5:v.14-16
14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in JUDGMENT, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

 

CONTEXT!
Jeremiah was prophesying before & during the Babylonian captivity from within Judah.

The Israelites were already suffering a time of great trouble, but worse was to come, as recorded in the book of Esther. Exile & captivity is serious, but Haman's intention was extermination of the Jews/Israelites.

They were delivered from it & Haman himself was executed.

I don't think we need look for a further fulfilment.

 

Jeremiah was writing before & during the exile. When are the "latter days" ? Many of the exiles returned under Cyrus, but it seems many did not, including Mordecai & Esther. The Haman incident occurred about 50 years after Jeremiah's prophecy, after the return.
The Jews were delivered as prophesied.

Habakkuk prophesied about the same time as Jeremiah & was concerned first with the wickedness of Judah, then the Chaldean invasion & captivity which would be the punishment of Judah for their unrepentant wickedness. He was encouraged to live by faith & was given a song to sing in exile. Even through a time of trouble he could rejoice in the God of his salvation.

The "latter days" surely relate to the coming of the long promised Messiah, Jesus. Vast numbers of Jews were saved during those 7 years, beginning with those who flocked to John's baptism, continuing with those saved during Jesus' ministry & then during the Apostolic ministry starting at Pentecost.

 

What is your take on Jeremiah 30 8-9?

"by which they were kept in bondage, both with respect to civil and religious things; but now he that led into captivity shall go into captivity himself, ( Revelation 13:10 ) ; and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him;
this shows that this prophecy cannot be understood of deliverance from the Babylonish captivity; because, after this, strangers did serve themselves of the Jews, and they were servants unto them; as to the Persians, and Grecians, and especially the Romans"

This is part of John Gills explanation... Im wondering your opinion so I didn't include his conclusion.

 

True. Micah 4:v.1-3
1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord (In my view the God's Kingdom-Rev.11:v.15) shall be established in the top of the mountains(will rise above all kingdoms of THIS WORLD-Rev.11:v.15 explains better about this), and it shall be exalted above the hills(will be exalted above all kind of Ministries and Ministers of all denominations of the present time in whole world); and people (Gentile people) shall flow unto it.

2 And many nations (Gentile nations) shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

3 And he shall Judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off...(Gentile nations - UE, USA, G-7- and so on). Revelation 11:v.18 explains better about strong nations.

The vast numbers of saved Jews, inclusive the Apostles, even so the mother of Jesus, they all are waiting the resurrection of this last Day, the Lord's Day, as said Martha, sister of Lazarus, unto JESUS-John 11:v.24. Let us analyse, or rather, meditate in 1Thes.4:v.13-18:
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel-Michael-Daniel 12:1-3-, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them...to meet the Lord...and so shall we ever be with the Lord (in the Kingdom of God-the third heaven-Luke 20:v.35-36&Rev.5v.10).
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

But at this present time also there is a saved remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works(Rom. 11:v.5-6).

And this remnant are 144000 sealed servants of our God, sealed in their foreheads(Rev.7). John did see them with the Lamb on Mount Sion: Rev.14:v.1-5
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters(peoples, and nations, and multitudes, and tongues), and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

May our LORD God bless us, and keep us, and give us His protection until the day 1335 - 45 days after the end of AD - Daniel 12:v.12

Amen

 

The 144K are the last of any Jewish evangelists ever to go out and preach the Messiah to the world. The Lamb and God were just seen in plain view to the whole world. It is the Mt Sinai event, but not just to Jacob, but the whole world. Just like the children of Israel sinned in the presence of God on the mount, the whole world in the presence of God will keep on sinning when they realize God’s wrath is not immediate. The 144K will continue to convince the world and the Jews during the judgment of the Trumpets to repent and turn to God whom they have seen, and are without excuse.

Of course the governments are going to come together against the threat of God's wrath. Who knows what will happen? All we know is God is going to send definite trouble, because John is writing about all this trouble. But we only see right now, what God let John put in the book of Revelation. Soon even the thunderings will be revealed, but probably not to the church. The church will not be here. The church hardly seems ready for the fourth seal. They all seem to be complaining about the first 3 seals. I just hope all are ready to meet God, instead of hiding in the caves.

 

As you know, who believes not in JESUS is condemned already.

John 3:v.17-21
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the NAME of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Here is a testimony of JESUS: John 12:v.44-50
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
