THE GREAT TRIBULATION OF
ISRAEL.....
The great tribulation of
Israel was prophesied by Jeremiah:
"For behold, the days are
coming, says the Lord, That I will bring back from
captivity My people Israel, says the Lord. And I
will cause them to return to the land that I gave
their fathers, and they shall possess it.......For
thus says the Lord: So why do I see every man with
his hands on his loins like a woman in labor, and
all faces turned pale ? 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." (The remnant will be saved out of the
great tribulation of Israel.)
The great tribulation of
Israel was prophesied by Daniel:
"And there shall be A TIME OF
TROUBLE, such as never was since there was a
nation, even to that time. And at that time your
people shall be delivered..." ( The remnant of
Israel shall be delivered out of the great
tribulation of Israel. )
The remnant of Israel is saved
from the great tribulation of Israel as prophesied
by Isaiah and recorded in:
"Though the number of the
children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the
remnant will be saved. For HE WILL FINISH THE WORK
and CUT IT SHORT in righteousness, because the
Lord will MAKE A SHORT WORK upon the earth." ( The
Lord will finish the work of the great tribulation
of Israel, and cut it short to save the flesh of
the remnant of Israel. )
The flesh of "the elect"
remnant of Israel will be saved out of the great
tribulation of Israel when the Lord shortens it:
"For then there will be great
tribulation, such as has not been since the
beginning of the world until this time, no, nor
ever shall be. And unless those days were
shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the
elect's sake those days will be shortened."
( Jesus saves the flesh of the elect remnant
of Israel out of the shortened great tribulation
of Israel. )
Jesus prophesied the days of
the great tribulation of Israel on the way to the
cross the day He was crucified:
"But Jesus said, Daughters of
Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for
yourselves and FOR YOUR CHILDREN, for indeed, THE
DAYS ARE COMING in which they will say, Blessed
are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts
which never nursed !"
So you see, the great
tribulation of Israel is the time of Jacob's
trouble when God tribulates Israel for their
continued disobedience to Him, but He does save
the flesh of the elect remnant.
