# 4 The Judgment Of Israel, The Tribulation- Jer. 30: 1-7 Series

JUDGMENT # 4--THE JUDGMENT OF ISRAEL, THE TRIBULATION- 8-16-08 JER.30:1-7

Today we’ll continue our study of the 7 judgments we find in the Bible. Although this horrible time of the Tribulation is directed toward Israel, it will affect the entire world.

Let me give you the names again of these 7 judgments.

#1-{the judgment of sin,} this took place on the cross of Christ.

#2- {self-judgment of our daily sins}, after we’re saved. The other 5 judgments are after the rapture of the Church.

#3- {the judgment seat of Christ}, where all that are saved will be judged for our stewardship, our works after we were saved and thus rewarded accordingly, this is after the rapture of the Church}-

And #4-{-the judgment of Israel, Jacobs Trouble, Jer. 30:7, “name-Gen.32:28--35:10” and this has to do with the Tribulation period. The Tribulation is “Jacobs trouble”. But it will affect all the earth.

-#5-{the judgment of the nations}, this takes place after Christ returns and has defeated His enemies at Armageddon, at the end of the 7 year Tribulation, “Rev.19:” but just prier of Him setting up His Kingdom, the 1000 year reign of Christ.

-#6-the judgment of the fallen angels}-

And #7 is of coarse, {the White Throne judgment}, this is when all the lost souls are brought out of hell and judged according to their wickedness, and according to the degree of their wickedness be tormented in the lake of fire, there are not any saved people judged at this judgment, these are all lost.

Listen as I read today’s text found in Jeremiah 30: 1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

3For, 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.

4And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

7Alas! 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.

Lets remember, “Jacob” and “Israel are the same man.

Gen.32:28 Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel—the name “Israel” means, (A prince of God) also in Gen. 35:10.

In case there might be some one listening that doesn’t understand, the man “Israel”, had 12 sons and these 12 sons make up the 12 tribes of the nation Israel. When we speak of Israel, we’re really talking about Jacobs 12 sons, Israel’s 12 sons. The dissidence of these sons.

You and I that are saved love the nation of Israel, we’re commanded to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and He has promised that He would bless us.

Psalm 122: 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee

The reason for Jacobs’s trouble, Israel’s trouble is because they rejected their King, King Jesus, they said in JN. 19:15- 15But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

Isaiah 17: 10-11 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips: 11In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

Micah 3: 12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps,

Ezekiel 20: 33 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:

Zech 13:8,9. AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT IN ALL THE LAND, SAITH THE LORD, TWO PARTS THEREIN SHALL BE CUT OFF AND DIE;

BUT THE THIRD SHALL BE LEFT THEREIN. AND I WILL BRING THE THIRD PART THROUGH THE FIRE, AND WILL REFINE THEM AS SILVER IS REFINED, AND WILL TRY THEM AS GOLD IS TRIED: THEY SHALL CALL ON MY NAME, AND I WILL HEAR THEM: I WILL SAY, IT IS MY PEOPLE: AND THEY SHALL SAY, THE LORD IS MY GOD-
