Jacob’s Trouble, Part 1

In the middle of the 20th century, the world was saved by the English-speaking nations, the United States, Great Britain and the Commonwealth nations of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Why did these nations band together to defeat Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan? Because they were the nations that emerged in the modern age – over 200 years ago, championing liberty and individual rights.

But now, these proud peoples are now subject to their greatest crisis since WW2 – not the false flag pandemic, but the concerted effort of their Presidents, Prime Ministers, other highly placed elected leaders, and entrenched bureaucrats’, intent on subverting and eventually eliminating the individual and personal freedoms that made these nations the envy of the modern world.

For the last 250 years, those living in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have shared in the greatest blessings and abundance, collectively more than any other people in world history.

They have also shared the inherited privilege of individual freedom and liberties, such as freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, free elections, incredible wealth, independence, and similar shared representative governance.

Australian Dilemma

An Australian friend who has lived in both countries told me just a few years ago; “the two best places in the world to live today are the United States and Australia.”

And he was correct.  Australia and the United States possess vast natural resources and are among the wealthiest nations on earth.

That has changed with the Covid crisis.

Of all nations descended from the Anglo/Saxon peoples, the Australian government has acted the most forcefully toward its citizens.  News reports from the “land down under” recently have shown police pepper spraying 12-year-old girls for not wearing masks while shopping, the virtual arrest and imprisonment of a citizen who tested positive for Covid, travel of individual citizens restricted to 5 km (3.1miles) per day, and the proposed forced vaccination of up to 25,000 school age children without parental consent in an athletic stadium. All in the name of a health crisis, that pales in comparison to the types of trials this great nation has tackled and overcome.

What is happening to the wonderful, free-spirited people of this great nation is shocking and demoralizing.  Could Australia be a key area of testing the imposition of autocratic, tyrannical rule among the freedom loving, English speaking people of the globe?

Covid cases in New South Wales, a state of over 8 million people in Southeast Australia are low – in the hundreds, and the infection rate overall in Australia is .032% but this proud nation’s leaders are shutting down the nation once again, seemingly to prevent any spread of Covid. This is an impossible goal, but most of Australia is living under the terror of martial law. Police are stopping motorists for not wearing a mask while driving a car – alone.

The situation is just as ludicrous and bizarre in neighboring New Zealand, where Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern placed the nation of 5 million in a 3-day lockdown, after the country recorded a new Covid case.  One! You can’t make this up!

“We have seen what can happen elsewhere if we fail to get on top of it. We only get one chance,” Ardern said in a national address, arguing that her government could not take chances with the “game changer” delta strain.

Power and Control

Of course, the same thing is happening all over the world, in every nation.

But the people of the United Kingdom and its former Commonwealth Nations and the United States are in lockstep with the rest of the world – following United Nations and World Economic principles and guidelines. Instead of setting the standard for other nations to emulate, the nations that once rescued the world from Dictators and provided havens of hope are now embracing the autocratic governing style of Communism and Fascism, ideologies that generations fought against to preserve democracy and freedom.

Let’s be succinct; the Covid virus was spliced together in a military lab in Wuhan, China, after having been transferred from various sites in the United States, including the University of North Carolina. The research that helped launch the bioweapon on the entire world was also used to design the “cure.” Nothing to see here(?)

It is now safe to say; none of this was accidental. Its probably not too far fetched to speculate that certain nations were tired of being hemmed in by American power.

The United States has disgracefully exited Afghanistan, after spending over 2 trillion dollars on a war, whose overall purpose, apparently, was to enrich the Military Industrial Complex. How prophetic or prescient was the warning from Former President Dwight Eisenhower on the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex! And how wise the warning of President George Washington’s farewell address for America to avoid the “peril of foreign entanglements.”

Destruction From Within

With a combined population of just under 500 million, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States represent less than 7% of the world’s population but have been blessed with vast wealth unparalleled in history.

Is it just a weird coincidence that these nations, located in diverse regions of the planet, share a common ancestry and language, are among the wealthiest nations, and also helped other nations to achieve similar success?

To properly assess the fulfillment of Bible Prophecy, you need to understand where the people of the English-speaking nations came from and their important role in the world from the earliest part of the 19th century.

Who Is Jacob?

In terms of Bible Prophecy, the patriarch Jacob may be the most important person in the Old Testament.

Jacob received the vast promise of national wealth and greatness from his father, Isaac. (Genesis 27:29-31 & Genesis 28:1-4) Isaac had inherited the same promise of wealth and territory from his father, Abraham. (Genesis 22:15-18). These blessings and promises came directly from God.

Read these passages and the inescapable conclusion is that God promised to Abraham the wealth, power, and prominence of the earth, and that “in your seed all nations of the earth shall be blessed.” Is there a better description of the world at the end of World War 2 and for the next 8 decades?

The English-speaking people of the world have been a blessing to the entire world.  They have possessed and controlled “the gate of their enemies,” – the control of shipping lanes and passageways around the world.  They have protected shipping and commerce through these key, strategic points on the earth, including the Straits of Gibraltar, the Cape of Good Horn, the South China Sea, the Suez and Panama canals, even though ownership of the last two were ceded to local control years ago.

The British and United States’ Navies have been responsible for the protection or world commerce for centuries.  In short, the United States and Commonwealth Nations have been the rising tide that guaranteed individual freedom and commerce for all other nations that also sought those liberties.

From Jacob, those promises of national wealth and greatness were passed to Jacob’s son Joseph, and Joseph’s 2 sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. (Genesis 48:8-9)

On his death bed, Jacob, whose name God changed to “Israel” conferred, by the sacred ceremonial laying on of hands, the majestic blessing of the Almighty to the young sons of Joseph. (Genesis 48:15-16).

In Manasseh and Ephraim, Jacob’s other 11 sons, from Reuben to Benjamin, were prophetically linked. The other sons would look up to and model his behavior. (Genesis 48:20) This prophecy reinforced the prophetic dream God had given to Joseph as a young man. (Genesis 37:9)

Joseph’s descendants, through his sons were to be given a greater share of Jacob’s inherited blessing of national wealth and greatness than the other 11 brothers. (Genesis 48:22)

After making these pronouncements to Joseph and his sons, Jacob brought the entire family together for one last meeting – and uttered one of the most insightful prophecies of the entire Bible.  In Genesis 49:1-28, Jacob told his sons what would happen to their descendants – in the “last days.” Jacob’s final words to his family echo the prophecy of the greatest of all Old Testament prophets, Moses, in his final remarks to the descendants of these 12 sons. 

Hundreds of years later, after leaving Egypt, the individual families of the 12 sons had grown into separate clans, or tribes. Moses repeated the prophecy of Jacob in Deuteronomy 33:1-29. Once again, Joseph is singled out for a special blessing that is greater than his brothers, (Deuteronomy 33:13-17) a prophecy of agricultural and mineral riches, military might and prowess.  Moses final words to the combined tribes of Israel end with a final pronouncement of wealth and might! (Deuteronomy 33:28-29)

It’s another story altogether, but a good case can be made that the rest of Jacob’s sons compromise some of the democratic states of Western Europe, except for Judah, Simeon and Levi who have been sprinkled through all the nations.  Of course, some of Judah’s descendants also comprise the modern nation of Israel in the Middle East.

Jacob’s Trouble

Knowing who “Jacob” is today is one of the most important single keys to understanding Bible prophecy.  Bible students know that throughout the many prophecies of the Old Testament, the terms Israel, Jacob, and Joseph are used interchangeably.  Along with the mention of Ephraim and Manasseh, their names appear over 3300 times in the Old Testament.  Not every single mention of these names is prophetic in nature, but many do help reveal and explain end time Bible prophecy. Most of the prophecies of the “Major” and 12 “Minor” prophets forecast the ultimate destiny of Jacob, or Israel.

Prophecies concerning “Judah” are also prominent, mentioned over 800 times in the Old Testament, many times in a prophetic sense.  This is also an important prophetic key because even many Bible scholars falsely assume that the only people that came out of Egypt were the Jews!

When we read Jeremiah 30:7, of “the time of Jacob’s trouble”, it is time to sit up and take notice!

Are the combined nations and descendants of Jacob on the edge of this prophesied “trouble?”

Even if you don’t believe in the rising tide of election interference evidence in the 2020 Presidential election, by foreign actors in concert with domestic enemies, it is obvious that a monumental assault on traditional values is taking place in the United States and other English-speaking nations.

Our freedoms are being targeted and our Judeo-Christian ethic destroyed.  For sure, that attack has been ongoing for decades but is picking up steam in the last year with massive influx of illegal immigration, gender confusion, critical race theory, and current medical tyranny of ineffective mask wearing and the imposition of vaccines that do not confer immunity.

While the covid infection was not a hoax, the manner it has been dealt with has been wholly ineffective. The lockdowns have created economic havoc, shut down schools and businesses, and halted the education of a generation.

Empires usually crumble from within first, and the internal decay of the descendants of Jacob has fully set in and will in turn, have further worldwide ramifications.

With the recent ineffective withdrawal from Afghanistan, China will probably be emboldened to invade the island nation of Taiwan, a territory they have long coveted. From there, if they aren’t stopped – what will prevent them from the allure of the mineral and agricultural wealth of Australia? China has few resources of its own, and their Silk Road initiative, now spreading its tenacles throughout the entire world, secures resources necessary for the CCP to fulfill its ambition of world domination.

Jeremiah was inspired to prophesy that Jacob will be saved out of his trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).

When the United States and the rest of the freedom loving, English speaking people of the world, and their power of independence is finally broken, you’ll know that the process of Jacob’s trouble is among us.
