If these ensuing months result in a time of relative peace for Israel through initiatives such as expanded Abraham Accords, it may be a sign that we are quickly approaching the time of Jacob&#8217;s trouble. I also believe this &#8216;sudden trouble&#8217; is a result of Jesus opening the seven-sealed scroll and the release of the four horsemen of Revelation chapter 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Stay tuned-keep watching!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Maranatha, Jim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The apostle Paul, writing to the Thessalonians about Jesus&#8217;s second coming added this: &#8220;For when they say, &#8216;peace and safety!&#8217; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.
