Jacob's trouble from Jeremiah 30 is the Babylonian captivity.
Yet if it is future, which empire will be using Hebrew slave labor?
Speaking of Jacob:

Jeremiah 30:8 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:

Anyway there is content in the chapter that sounds useful to Dispensationalist mythology, so to the dispensationalist it must be placed in the future, where flexibility of interpretation abounds.
So it gives birth to the story that modern Israel's actions will lead to the building of a third temple and usher in the Antichrist, who will kill two thirds of the people there.
Yet while believing all this, Dispensationalists support those same actions in any way they can, making excuses for genocides and preemptive wars.
So while making Christianity seem repugnant to everyone else, the dispensationalist also seers his own conscience before God.
The Christian church is a fairy tale after Constantine, also the man of lawlessness, Jews have always made some of the best believers. A Jew is one if they are inwardly, pleasing the Spirit of God, not indulging in worthless geneologies. To say Jesus Christ appears in mid air after super lightning is like saying you believe in superhero’s. Mankind is unprotected in cities due to the power of the beast out of the sea, or prostitute, which is city destruction and infiltration. Power over lands. Wealthy white rich in history. The world started burning after Revelation was written. To turn back into sin is the same as crucifying the Lord over again, breaking the seal of his crucified flesh. ‘If I, the Lord, wanted you to worry about the world burning, then why did I give you home churches to worship in, passing the faith on in a personal, advanced, warming way? Clearly I speak in figures of speech. I am not speaking to the division of paid pastors in slick suits.’ The world burns because mankind cannot sustain reality in atoms. And by the way, so your concocted story makes sense, I am sure the Jews are sitting there waiting for Jesus Christ’s miracle by sight, and clouds and lightning, so he can take away a non crucified church while Jews finally catch on. All who have died in the Lord have experienced His resurrection. When you gather together with a believer I would do away with coarse joaking, excessive playfulness, or almost anything that is not from being deeply crucified in Jesus. The cross of Jesus Christ is remembered and His life lived in all seriousness. If you need Jesus to make an appearance so did all manner of false prophets and christs before you. On the clouds of heaven, a resurrected flesh, and east to west lightning a new life, you are being caused to dwell with Christ eternally, already a citizen of heaven. Most of us have our citizenship of the world revoked due to martyrdom.

Im suprised that you are not getting railed for using AI as I have but no matter, your entire paragraph is a fusion of poetic language, personal impressions, and world‑system mythologies that collapse the moment you hold them against the text itself, because the NT never teaches a post‑Constantine “fairy‑tale church,”
never identifies Constantine as the man of lawlessness,
never says cities are inherently beast‑structures, never says wealthy white nations are the prostitute, never says the world began burning after Revelation,
never says resurrection is already fully experienced,
never says citizenship in the world is revoked by martyrdom, and
never replaces the future visible return of Christ with an inward mystical awakening.
Scripture’s actual claims are blunt:
the church continues after the apostles (Matt 28:20; Acts 2:39),
the man of lawlessness is future and destroyed by Christ’s appearing (2 Thess 2:8),
the gospel is for Jew and Gentile without erasing ethnic Israel (Rom 11:1–29),
Jesus returns visibly, bodily, in the clouds (Acts 1:11; Matt 24:27–30),
the dead in Christ have not yet been raised (1 Thess 4:16),
the world is not burning because “atoms cannot sustain reality” but because creation groans awaiting future liberation (Rom 8:19–23), and believers are called to seriousness without outlawing joy (Phil 4:4; Eph 5:4). The world‑system behind your paragraph is a mystical reinterpretation that dissolves plain text into symbolic self‑expression.
 
And why do you think we would support any killing at all.
Tyrants do not just kill, they deceive and manage public opinion as well.

I think you would support killing because you support modern Israel and consequently already do.

But of course you would not support the Antichrist would you?
Well if you have not yet been raptured, obviously whoever is doing the evil in Israel must not be the Antichrist, and besides they have given you plenty of talking points as to why what they are doing is either justified or not even happening.
Besides it is Israel, and the pastor says you are created to "bless" Israel.

This might not be a fair personal description of yourself at all, but I thing it illustrates the deceptions of dispensationalist doctrine.
The effect is to make Christians blind to the many antichrists of our present world through fixation with the coming (not Biblical) one man Antichrist, and create apathy through (also non Biblical) rapture teaching.

Dispensationalism also exists to persuade Christians to be in unconditional bondage to the institution of modern Israel of course, and to abandon the liberty and discernment that they have found in Christ.
A seared conscience comes in useful for that, because a seared conscience does not feel the pain of others, and is able to abandon natural law for "eschatology".
A conscience bound to modern Israel now has a completely new definition of good and of evil.
Discernment bound to modern Israel also has a completely new definition of truth and of error.

Good morning friend😊
Dispensationalism is not the cause of blindness, rather it is already blind.
Scripture never says tyrants deceive “through Israel,”
never says supporting Israel equals supporting killing,
never says the Antichrist is blocked by a failed rapture,
never says modern geopolitics determines eschatology, and
never says loyalty to any nation sears the conscience.

What Scripture does say is simple:
many antichrists already exist (1 John 2:18),
deception comes from false teachers inside the church (Acts 20:29–30),
the man of lawlessness is future and destroyed by Christ’s appearing (2 Thess 2:8),
and the conscience is seared by departing from the faith through “teachings of demons” (1 Tim 4:1–2), not by political sympathies.

The command to “bless Israel” in Genesis 12:3 is about God’s covenant promise, not modern statecraft, and the NT applies blessing to faith‑Israel (Gal 3:7–9), not geopolitical allegiance. Your critique is replacing Scripture’s concrete eschatology with sociopolitical suspicion and turning warnings meant to guard believers into accusations meant to divide them.

Well, I know that the wise shall understand, but none of the wicked will understand.
BTW, the wicked are wicked on purpose with purpose.

The Nations Will Be Judged​

1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

 

Judah Will Be Blessed​

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

Nonsense. Any Jew alive today can hear gospel preached and can seek His Face.
Did you think any Christian would choose to prevent this?
Your accusation is baseless and vexatious.
 
Israel bears covenant consequences, but God promises future reconciliation;
Gentiles are grafted in, but never replace Israel;
racism and bigotry are condemned because God shows no partiality (Romans 2:11); and the true people of God are those whose names He claims, not those who merely claim His name (Matthew 7:21–23).

Like the slight switch of hand there from individuals to a group.
So which is it?

There’s no “switch of hand” — the Bible itself speaks both ways: God deals with individuals in judgment and salvation (Romans 2:6–11; Matthew 7:21–23), and God deals with Israel as a corporate entity in redemptive history (Romans 11:25–29).
