"The time of Jacob's
trouble - revisited."
Shalom In Yeshua -
July 2017.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. I have not posted
anything on 5 Doves for quite a while, but recently I feel
compelled to do so do some thoughts that I have had. I
have even erroneously “sounded the alarm” so to speak twice
before, once in 1997-98 and then again in 2015. So I am
NOT a prophet by any means. However, something rather
extraordinary happened to my thoughts about two weeks ago,(in
church no less! Was it God’s Spirit?) Please read this
email thoroughly…. it will take about 7-8 minutes, and ask
yourself “Could this be close to accurate?”. If I am
wrong, please forgive me, and tell me why. But if I am
correct, then those who shepherd the flock, and others as well
should figuratively be “buying some oil for the wedding", so
that none in the group of virgins be caught unaware.
Note: To understand what follows you need to have a
familiarity with shemitah cycles and the sign of Revelation 12
compared to this September. Here goes:
After trying to figure things out about end times events since
the early 90’s, it seemed that there were a lot of “false flag
starts” to the end of the age. Multiple events happened
(signing of peace accords, Temple Mount provocations that put
nations at defcon II, etc.). Then about two weeks ago I
had this thought: What if the time of Jacob’s trouble is
really 20-21 years instead of the traditional seven years?
It is! Go read the account in Genesis. Now that begs
the question can we find “markers” to indicate the weeks of
sevens are in process leading up to the final 42 months
(Revelation does not speak of 7 years to my knowledge even
though it uses that number dozens of times for other
items). And the answer is an astounding yes, plus we have
two independent events which confirm the sevens! My thanks
to many, including Ron Reese, Bob Schlenker, Mark Biltz,
Jonathan Cahn, 5 Doves, Jonathan Hall, etc. They have added
considerably to my knowledge. Here is the layout:
Starting point one shemitah week of 7 years before start
of Jacob’s trouble, fall 1993-94: Oslo Peace Accords are
signed 3 days before Tishri one of the sabbath year. Set to be
5+2=7 years in length. Crowds outside the Knesset chanted “you
have given us a covenant with death” Is. 28:15,18.
End point of one shemitah week later: Ariel Sharon ascends
the temple mount. The third Intifada breaks out two days
before Tishri one of next sabbath year. Both Israel and
Hamas legally nullify Oslo (the 7 year covenant!), exactly to
the day. But the wording of Daniel indicates it will be
confirmed/strengthened later!
KEY POINT: Six months later (Passover 2001) the leading
rabbi’s of Israel declare “This is the time of Jacobs
Trouble.” We now have a mark in the sand. 20-21
years before the end of the tribulation? We should expect
3 seven year cycles culminating in Christ’s return. They, like
Caiaphas before them, may have prophesied blindly but possibly
accurately.
End point of week one of Jacob’s Trouble, fall 2007-08:
This sabbath year will see the beginnings of a world wide
financial meltdown. Half way through this seven year
period the modern Sanhedrin reforms, allowing for the
fulfillment of Christ’s words that He won’t return until they
(Sanhedrin) say “Blessed is He who comes in the name of
Yahweh” Matthew 23:39.
End point of week two of Jacob’s Trouble, fall 2014-15:
This sabbath year has several confirming events. The end of the
last Tetrad moons for this century and an endpoint for seven
weeks of Daniels prophecy. Get this: in 1533AD After
conquering Jerusalem, Suleiman the Great issued the edict to
restore and rebuild Jerusalem, kicking off the second
fulfillment of Daniel’s seventy weeks of seven years.
Exactly 62 gregorian “weeks” of years later (because Israel was
not IN the land) ended during the Six Day War in June 1967 when
the Knesset issued a second order to restore and rebuild
Jerusalem after capturing Jerusalem and the temple area!
Calculating 7 “weeks” of 360 day years brings us to Yom Kippur
2015 and the end of the second week of Jacob’s troubles.
They both match! Isaac Newton predicted this!! Three
non-related confirming events to this pivotal year.
Week three of Jacob’s Trouble, ending fall 2021-22AD: We
are two years into this seven years, now expecting the sign of
Revelation 12:1-2 in September. In MY opinion, this means
we are in the final seven of Jacob’s trouble AND the secondary
fulfillment of Daniels 70 weeks. I know, I know, hold your
critique of why this cannot be true for a few more
sentences. What this indicates is that the sign or Rev.12
means the “great tribulation” or labor pains of 42 months is
ABOUT to commence upon Israel. It is not the rapture,
because the bride of Christ is always feminine, not the
man-child! So an expected chronology for the final seven
years of Jacob’s trouble would be that we are about 8? months
away from the “great Tribulation” starting next spring, at which
point the war in heaven concludes, Satan is thrown to earth
(aliens arrive!) and has authority through the beast and false
prophet for 42 months. This then leaves ONE year and ten
days (just like Noah) for the cleansing WRATH of God (fire
instead of water). And it occurs on a sabbath year, just
like the archetype of circling Jericho 6 days then
victory/destruction on day seven (a sabbath).
Side note about this timeframe: Historically, the worst
persecution ever for Christians worldwide has been since 2015,
including decapitations. More Christians are dying for our
Lord than at any time in history. Too bad the mainstream
media ignores this.
OK, now for the naysayers and clean up with other prophesied 7
year events. Week five (fall 2022-2029AD) from onset of
observable sevens from 1993-94. We are now done with Jacob’s
Trouble, and our King reigns, Hallelujah! There is one
week of seven years left before “day two” ends. From 27AD?
to the start of Christ’s ministry until 2029AD there are two
days of 1001 years. Wow! Why not 1000 years? Well
scripture says a day with the Lord is ABOUT 1000 years, and
making it 1001 allows for each great day to be perfectly
divisible by seven. So what happens between 2022 and
2029? Well, Israel burns the weapons of Armageddon for 7
years, and it takes 7 years to build the final temple. “After
two days he will raise us up and on the third day we shall live
before Him." There is nothing new under the sun. It took
Solomon 7 years to build that temple, and this way the
millennium temple is completed exactly at the end of the second
great day since Christ, the sixth great day since creation. Then
there is one great day left in the week, the sabbath
millenium!
In summary there are three primary reasons why people may
question this chronology:
1) If true, there is no pre-tribulation rapture, only a
mid-tribulation or pre-wrath rapture. I know this is a
show stopper for most. We will know for certain in less
than a year.
2) Where are the 2300 morning/evening sacrifices? Already
done. Maccabees records this amount during that
revolt. It doesn’t need repeating.
3) Where is the “tribulation temple”? My belief (I wish I
could prove this) is it is sitting on the temple mount now, and
the beast will erect his image in the Dome of the Rock and cause
Israel to flee from Judea and Samaria, realizing that their hope
has betrayed them and simultaneously enrage and force Muslims to
attack Israel. Question: Is this why Y’shua in Matthew 24
says rather oddly “let the reader understand?”, and to those is
Judea and Samaria to flee - which is the modern day West
Bank? Astounding!
And finally a possible sign for His actual advent?
According to ground-breaking research, somewhere in the
neighborhood of 2021-22AD, there will be an observable super
nova collision (probably daylight visible) caused by two stars
colliding in…. get this…. the constellation known as “the
cross”. I’m hesitant to say that this is “the sign” of His
coming, but who knows.
OK, that is basically it. I hope it was clear enough, even
though lengthy and complex. Even criticisms are
welcome. I don’t want to falsely “sound the alarm”
again. If questions please respond to me at

respond immediately.
