TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE IS NOT IN THE FAR DISTANT FUTURE

Jeremiah 30:7-9 – 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. 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:9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
The foreign policy of “The West,” which includes the U.S. and other NATO nations is a maze of uncertainty as to what to do about the Syrian and Iranian situations, which are strategically linked with Hizbullah, Hamas, Russia, China, and Korea by a supply system of terrorist supplies to their allies. Israel is caught in the middle of a game of blind man’s bluff between “The West” and Iran. It is a game where the U.S. constantly repeats all options are still on the table, while Iran keeps on crying with baited breath its plan to end the existence of Israel as a nation.To many unbelievers of biblical prophecies a Middle East War is historically inevitable from a secular analysis and perspective, while most believers accept it is inevitable because it is prophesied to occur, and use historical secular analysis and perspective to show this war is now knocking on our door.
I am among those who believe this war door is likely begin at some point in time between 2013 and 2015, but I am only certain it MUST occur, NOT WHEN it WILL occur. The Excerpts which follow are indicative the opening of the war door is not a far distant event.

‘Israel under pressure from all sides’
Senior Israeli official says ‘Americans don’t want to be surprised by attack on Israel.’ ‘They are telling us to be patient, see if sanctions will eventually work, he says.’

Israel is facing enormous pressure to refrain from staging a surprise strike on Iran‘s nuclear facilities, a senior Israeli official said Monday.
” Israel is under pressure from all sides.
The Americans don’t want to be surprised and faced with a fait accompli of an Israeli attack,” the senior official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“They are telling us to be patient and see if the international sanctions against Tehran will eventually work,” he said.
At this time, Israel is coming under increased pressure from Washington and Europe to hold off from attacking Iran over its disputed nuclear drive and allow time for a regime of tight international sanctions to kick in.
Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
US, France, UK, Turkey, Italy prepare for military intervention in Syria
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 23, 2012, 10:29 AM (GMT+02:00)
Despite public denials, military preparations for intervention in the horrendous Syrian crisis are quietly afoot in Washington, Paris, Rome, London and Ankara. President Barack Obama is poised for a final decision after the Pentagon submits operational plans for protecting Syrian rebels and beleaguered populations from the brutal assaults of Bashar Assad’s army, debkafile’s Washington sources disclose.
This process is also underway in allied capitals which joined the US in the Libyan operation that ended Muammar Qaddafi’s rule in August, 2011. They are waiting for a White House decision before going forward.
In Libya, foreign intervention began as an operation to protect the Libyan population against its ruler’s outrageous crackdown on dissent. It was mandated by UN Security Council. There is no chance of this in the Syrian case because it will be blocked by a Russian veto. Therefore, Western countries are planning military action of limited scope outside the purview of the world body, possibly on behalf of “Friends of Syria,” a group of 80 world nations which meets for the first time in Tunis Friday, Feb. 24, to hammer out practical steps for terminating the bloodbath pursued by the Assad regime.
The foreign ministers and senior officials – Russia has excluded itself – will certainly be further galvanized into action by the tragic deaths of two notable journalists Wednesday, Feb. 22, on the 19th day of the shelling of Homs.
Preparations for the event are taking place at the Foreign Office in London. Wednesday, Foreign Secretary William Hague said: Governments around the world have the responsibility to act…and to redouble our efforts to stop the Assad regime’s despicable campaign of terror.”
Hague pointedly said nothing about removing the Syrian ruler. Nor did he spell out the efforts need to stop the campaign of terror. debkafile’s military sources note that he left these issues open because a decision by President Obama about if and how the US will act is pending until the Pentagon submits operational plans to Commander-in-Chief Obama.
The US president is also waiting for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s report on the mood at the Tunis conference. He wants to know in particular if Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar and the UAR will support US-led Western intervention in Syria, both politically and financially.
The Sunday Times correspondent Marie Colvin and the French Figaro video-photographer Remi Ochik died Wednesday in the heavy shelling of a fortified building which housed Western journalists making their way into Homs under the protection of Syrian rebels. Three other Western journalists were injured. Western military sources reported Thursday that this undercover Western press center was maintained by the rebels in tight secrecy. The building was practically gutted by a direct hit, suggesting that Syrian forces located it with the help of advanced electronic measures.
Another Western source noted that the journalists covering the atrocities in Homs from this hideout used coded channels of communications protected by anti-jamming and anti-tracking devices.
The Syrians must therefore have called on Russian satellites or advanced Iranian electronic systems to locate it.
The authorities in Damascus decided to treat the press hideout as the first step in overt Western intervention in the Syrian conflict. It was accordingly razed totally with its occupants.
