It has not yet happened.. so no. No one can.. Many will say it happened back near AD 70, but it does not fit.. Isreal did not repent..
Jer 30: [SUP]7 [/SUP]Alas! For that day is great,
So that none is like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble,
But he shall be saved out of it. [SUP]8 [/SUP]‘For it shall come to pass in that day,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
‘That I will break his yoke from your neck,
And will burst your bonds;
Foreigners shall no more enslave them.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]But they shall serve the Lord their God,
And David their king,
Whom I will raise up for them.
1. They are still slaves to Gentiles
2. They are still in sin
3. Their king has risen, but has not yet returned.
Also.
1. That Day is so great that none is like it,, At no time on earth before or after will it be that severe. (see also matt 24 where Jesus talks about great tribulation, and non being like it)
2. He (Jacob) will be protected..

Because HE opened their eyes. This is why they will break out of their yoke of the burden of their guilt and sin
for them THE STRONG MAN has not yet come to take them
out of (the kingdom of) darkness to give them the LIGHT of the knowledge of THE TRUTH so that they may be brought into THE KINGDOM of GOD in THE SON

I believe 2 Thessalonians 2 and the reason why evil will have full force reign is no different from the reason given in Job 1 (for Job, the "hedge" was removed)
and I believe this temporary struggle when evil runs rampant is the time of Jacob's struggles
if it isn't please remind me of scripture that contradicts my understanding
