Time of Jacob's Trouble

In Jeremiah, chapter 30 there is a prophecy of G-d returning Israel to his own land and what will happen in the land "For, lo, the days come, saith the L-RD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah saith the L-RD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. And these are the words that the L-RD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith the L-RD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask 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? 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." Jeremiah 30:3-7

The book of Joel tells what happens during the time of Jacob's trouble. It will be worse than WWII and the Messiah himself will return from heaven to put down all Israel's enemies and rule for 1,000 years. All that receive the Messiah as king will go into the kingdom.

Many people will follow the false messiah that proclaims himself to be G-d during the time of Jacob's trouble. The ones that follow the false messiah will never be able to enter the 1,000 year kingdom. Read the book of Revelation in the New Covenant to see the end of the false messiah.
