America and Jacob’s Trouble: Updated September 2026 below
Can you feel the burden of the nations all clamoring for Israel to stop building, to give more land for peace? Can you feel the pressure mounting as Iran inches closer to a nuclear weapon that they will use to bring about the Islamic Messiah (Mahdi). Can you feel that the day of Jacob’s Trouble is very near? Here is a review of some oh-so-alive words the believer needs to watch and pray about!
If you have been following this story. After this meeting in Washington, Israel didn’t show up for a nuclear meeting there just days later. The relationship is looking a lot like Rocky in the Meat Locker. It is cold, and someone is going to get beat up.
This is on both sides in political speak. “Up Yours…” Israel is on her own, and very few people know it. We need to pray for Israel’s peace. And here in America, we need to wake up. The battle of Armageddon will be over, with God Almighty bringing the nations together to enter into judgment with them for dividing His Land! [Joel 3:1-2] Can you see it yet…
What is “The Time of Jacob’s Trouble”?
Jacob’s trouble refers to a prophetic period of significant distress for the descendants of Jacob (Israel), primarily linked to the Great Tribulation that precedes the second coming of Jesus Christ. This term is derived from Jeremiah 30:7, which describes a time of unprecedented difficulty for the nation of Israel.
Biblical Context for Jacob’s Trouble
Key Scripture: Jeremiah 30:7
- Jeremiah 30:7: “Alas! For That Day is great, so that none is like it; it is even the time of Jacob’s Trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.”
The term “That Day” is a significant prophetic phrase found throughout the Bible, often referring to a future time of divine intervention, judgment, or fulfillment of God’s promises. It marks a day of God’s decisive action in human history, bringing both judgment and salvation. The phrase is frequently associated with the “Day of the Lord,” a time when God will execute justice and establish His kingdom. *This is the context of this article.
Historical Background
- The phrase is rooted in Old Testament prophecy, particularly during a time when the kingdom of Judah faced an impending Babylonian invasion, Jerusalem 70 AD, and the Coming 70th Week of Daniel.
- Jeremiah’s prophecies warned of judgment because of the people’s disobedience and faithlessness, but also promised future restoration at Jesus’ Second Coming.
- Land Covenant Given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
- God is the landowner, and He judged Israel for breaking the Sabbath for 70 years. (Ushering in the “Times of the Gentiles)
- God re-gathered Israel during the Times of the Gentiles until the Messiah would appear (Daniel’s 69th Week on Palm Sunday at the Triumphal Entry. [Luke 19:25]
- Jesus warns leadership, saying, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,” which is found in [Psalm 118:26, Matthew 21:9, and Luke 19:38]. This will be the catalyst of the Second Coming for Israel.
- Just before Jesus’ Crucifixion, Jesus pronounces judicial judgment on the Nation of Israel; Jerusalem and Herod’s Temple are destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. And dispersed among the nations. (Diaspora)
- In 1948, Israel becomes a Nation and is immediately attacked on all sides. Thus begins what the Bible calls the Birth Pangs, and Israel is a Nation again, and the Devil knows his time is short. [Matthew 24:3-8, Romans 8:22, Micah 4:10, 2 Corinthians 3:16, Isaiah 26:16-18, Isaiah 66:9-16]
Washington’s Frosty Relationships with US Presidents Obama, Trump & Israel
Under Obama: Jerusalem: Israel’s Prime Minister called off his trip to Washington next week to attend a conference on the spread of nuclear weapons, officials in his office said, fearing Israel would be singled out over its own nuclear program.
Benjamin Netanyahu had said he would attend the conference to underline the dangers of terrorists acquiring nuclear weapons, but suddenly called off the trip less than two days after he announced he would take part.
The same thing happened under President Biden, after Trump’s 1st Term, and the Advent of the Abraham Accords provides a framework for Land for Gain, like turning Gaza into a Mediterranean playground! But I digress. In the frame below, the AI-generated Trump Gaza shows him as a Gold Statue! Reminds me of when King Nebuchadnezzar tried to get around God’s vision in Daniel Chapter 2 [Daniel 2:27-35, 3:1-6, 20-30]. Oh, and there was that total tyrant thing, worship or die, with 666 symbolism.
The burden of the word of the LORD against Israel. Thus says the LORD, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him: “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. [Zechariah 12:1-3]
Alas! For that day [is] great, So that none [is] like it; And it [is] the time of Jacob’s trouble, But he shall be saved out of it. [Jeremiah 30:7]
Under Trump: Trump unwilling to back premier’s reelection bid due to poor performance in the polls, Axios reports; PM’s aide reportedly insists to president ‘he’s winning’
US President Donald Trump referred to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “his own worst enemy” recently, according to sources close to the president, in a blow to Netanyahu’s hopes that the White House will endorse him ahead of his October 27 reelection bid. TOI
Under Trump: The report, which has been contested in Israeli media, cited a US official summarising Trump’s remarks to Netanyahu: “You’re f**king crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your *ss. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.” -The Gaurdian
Look for relations to keep cooling off in spite of the US help in taking out a Nuclear Iran threat. Trump’s Golden Age is threatened by extended Middle East Conflict, midterms, a faltering economy, and ambition.
Demands on Israel: Netanyahu’s Peace Catalyst for Dividing Land?
Under Obama:
Just 9 % of Jewish Israelis think US President Barack Obama’s administration is more pro-Israel than pro-Palestinian, according to a Smith Research poll taken this week on behalf of The Jerusalem Post.
Can you feel it? Those who are tuned to what the word of God says will shape the last days before Christ’s return. One, Israel would become a nation, and God would again gather his people a second time. The desert would bloom like a flower, and she would become literally fruitful. Two, the nations of the earth would be intoxicated with a nation that has no real strategic offerings, like oil, gold, or the like. Yet the bible foretold a time when Israel would become a nation again! Wow, that began the final generation.
Yes, now all the players are in place, and we here in America thought our nation would always be an ally for Israel. Things in one administration have soured faster than milk in the sun. I personally was very concerned when President Obama’s former church reprinted the Hamas manifesto in their church. Strange, I thought. Christians, don’t support radical Jihadist, Muslim genocidal lunatics, or do they? If you haven’t heard of Dr. James Cone and his racist theology. See our article Black Theology’s Another Jesus but let me make it simple to understand our nation’s sudden turn from Israel.
In the end-time picture puzzle, we look for the nations to come united against Israel. Today, foreign policy among the nations is naked in its hatred for a tiny little nation smaller than some countries in America! Yet the neighbors of Israel have a puny 1/16th of 1% — Israel’s land mass compared to its Arab neighbors. More land mass want that also. Why? Ancient hatred for their brother Jacob.
Iran is aligning the nations of the battle of Gog & Magog before our very eyes! Russia is applying the pressure and arming the combatants as detailed by the prophet Ezekiel.
Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that is assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword, [and is] gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Ezekiel 38:7-8
And the only missing player is Turkey, which, under Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said Israel is breaching international law by building homes in East Jerusalem, adding to pressure for a halt in construction in areas Palestinians want for their future state.
While I can’t say what my leader believes himself. I know he sat for 20 years under this rancid theology, which would see the Middle East Crisis as, well, black and white. They see Israel (white) as oppressing the Palestinian (black) people. When I saw that, I knew our foreign policy would turn against Israel. How far we have fallen because we seek to appease the oil-rich Arab nations who blatantly call for genocide. Truly, money is the root of all evil.
America, under the Bush legacy, began forcing Israel to give land for peace. As noted in the scriptures below. With America’s economy virtually gone, she rides the beast to keep oil cheap and sells the souls of untold millions by pressuring Israel into a NO WIN compromise on “Land for Peace.” It hasn’t done anything but bring Hamas and Hezbollah rockets closer.
There has been a correlation between natural disasters in America and our policy against Israel. See our article here. For a sobering look. A Tiny Prophecy Here! for a detailed list that may stagger you from the prophet Obadiah. Video attached, also with teaching by John Mc Ternan.
Truly, the stage is being set, and Israel will be all alone except for someone who will step forward, I think, after the next big clash in the Middle East. I believe Israel will have no choice but to preemptively strike her neighbors (Psalm 83), which may bring the Gog & Magog battle. The man known as the antichrist will step forward with a peace plan nearly everyone will buy into after two devastating battles in the Middle East on the horizon. He will, however, turn on Israel and will ultimately meet his demise at Armageddon. People, can you hear the last of the set being put together as the Tribulation act is about to start? Tell people about Jesus. He has made provision for those who love Him to escape all these things.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. [Luke 21:36 ]
What is this great promise we have here also in Isaiah that speaks to the resurrection? Note: That these are raised, and the LORD tells them to hide till the Indignation is past. That speaks to a pre-indignation rapture.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. [Isaiah 26:19-21]
This will all happen because the nations will make themselves mad over pushing Israel to divide the land for peace. Huh!
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [1 Thessalonians 5:3]
I can go back decades and note how many times, here in America, the UN and European leaders clamor for Peace and safety in so-called land-for-peace, Two-State Solutions, and other variants. If you’re not a Christian, and you don’t understand that Satan’s (the adversary’s) modus operandi is to get mankind to willingly violate God’s covenants and His Law fulfilled in Christ Jesus, he can remove protection from them and make way for God’s judgment. For he is the accuser, and seeks to kill, steal, and destroy. And it works.
“For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land. [Joel 3:1-2]
Dividing the Land for Gain. Daniel 11:39
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge [and] increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. [Daniel 11:39]
Soon the world may see that Israel will indeed strike Iran’s nuclear program. This will invoke two things. Relief among the cowards who lack the courage to engage despots who would go nuclear, who seek sanctions and diplomacy. No, when they speak of wiping a nation off the map, the world should rise up and come against that nation. But it will come against Israel.
Israel will be further demonized after this event, as good politicians NEVER want to waste a good crisis to consolidate power. This may well do that and pave the way for a covenant where a masterful peacemaker will enforce a peace plan for Israel and her many enemies. See that study on Obadiah link above.
