Jacob’s trouble is not another set of troubles coming for Jacob in the future that will be worse than any trouble that has ever been on the earth, but instead I will prove with the holy scriptures that the term Jacob’s trouble (in context) that is found only one time in Jeremiah 30:7 is The day of The Lord’s vengeance upon all the nations of the earth that troubled Jacob while they were scattered and mistreated in the lands of their captivity:
#1.Jer 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.
Comment: Notice the terms *THAT DAY* and *JACOB’S TROUBLE* is both the same thing in Jeremiah 30:7.
#2.Jer 30:8 For it shall come to pass in *that day*, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
Jer 30:9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
Jer 30:10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
Jer 30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Comment: Notice in Jeremiah 30:8 the term *THAT DAY* which is the same as *JACOB’S TROUBLE* in Jeremiah 30:7. Then notice all that will happen for Jacob in all the other verses from Jeremiah 30:8 through to the end of the whole chapter, and you will see that it is all good for Jacob and all bad for all the nations. … Jer 30:10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
Jer 30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
#3.Jer 30:16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
Comment: Notice according to Jeremiah 30:16 in that Jacob’s trouble day and when it comes that all that devoured Jacob while they were in the lands of their captivity will be devoured.
#4.Jer 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
Jer 30:18 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
Jer 30:19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
Jer 30:20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
Comment: Notice in Jeremiah 30:17-20 the things that will happen to all the nations that had Jacob under oppression, #1.Jacob will be restored and healed, #2,Jacob will not no more be called an outcast, #3.Jacob will be brought back from all the lands of their captivity before the wrath of the Lamb is poured out on the nations. … 1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
1Th 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. #4.Yah will have mercy on Jacob and our dwellingplaces will be restored, #5.according to Jeremiah 30:20 everyone who oppressed us will be oppressed.
So, if we just keep the term Jacob’s trouble in context of the whole chapter, then you will see that Jacob’s trouble in Jermiah 30:7 will match with the entire chapter that proves that this will be a time when all 12 tribes come back to their own land and they shall be at rest and none shall make them afraid:
#1.Jer 30:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jer 30:2 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
Jer 30:3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
Jer 30:4 And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. … Jer 30:10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
#2.Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Dan 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Dan 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Comment: Notice that Revelation 6:16 announces the wrath of the lamb. Also, Revelation 6:17 is a second witness that announces *THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME*. This is the same GREAT DAY THAT JEREMIAH SAW IN JEREMIAH 30:7, It will be great for Jacob but it will be horrifying for all who oppressed and troubled Jacob… Jer 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.
