What Jeremiah saw
We are first introduced to the time of the Tribulation in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, and the prophet calls it the time of ‘Jacob’s trouble’ because it will primarily center on the Jews in Israel. This is our first clue as to who will go through the Tribulation and who it will affect. As we have shown throughout this series on the Rapture, when Jesus returns for His Church, made up of believing Jews and Gentiles, and ‘catches them away’ to be with Him in Heaven, the Bible says that God will once again focus on the Jews, and the great and terrible time of the Great Tribualtion will begin. And that’s why Jeremiah calls it the time of ‘Jacob’s’ trouble – because it’s about the Jews even though it will have ramifications that affects the entire world.
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24: 21
