THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE
Intro: Today, we continue our study of what the Bible has to say about the end of time, and the events that will take place as God completes His great plan of the ages. Thus far, we have considered the Rapture of the church and the man who will be known s the Antichrist. Today, we will be looking at a period of time known in the Bible as “The Time Of Jacob’s Trouble.”
This phrase is found in Jeremiah 30:6-7. In these verses, Jacob, or the nation of Israel, is portrayed like a man who is about to give birth. This man is suffering great pains and is bowed in agony. The Bible tells us that there are no days to compare with those that Israel must endure. However, verse 7 shows us that Israel will be saved out of those days.
By way of introduction this morning, I would like to share two major reasons for this time known as the Tribulation. There are many more reasons that could be stated, but these seem to stand out to me as some of the more crucial.
1. To Punish The Gentile Nations – Rom. 1:18; 2 Thes. 2:12-13; Rev. 19:15. For many thousands of years men have spurned the call of God to repentance and salvation. During the Tribulation Period, God will visit wicked humanity with the fruits of their sin: divine judgment!

Matt. 19:4-6, Gen. 2:18-24 Series Intro: The modern family is in trouble! Divorce is rampant. Dissatisfaction between mates is at an all-time high. Parents have lost their way and they are watching their children lose theirs as well. The modern family has lost its moorings. There was a time, and it was not so long ago, that most families acknowledged God, His Word and His right to rule in the home. That day has long since past. The family needs to be brought back to God. The family needs to be deeply anchored in the things of God if it is to survive. The modern family is in a mess. There are examples here and there of godly families in action, but most families are adrift on a tossing sea of immorality, selfishness and discontentment. The modern family can be saved! When families know and honor the unchanging principles of the Word of God in their lives, they can survive. Families can even thrive in this world, if they are given the right tools, the right encouragement and the right path to follow. |
