Times of the Gentiles



They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among all nations, 

and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, 

until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 


Luke 21:24





What do you think this means?

What happens next?

  1. God is allowing Gentiles to be saved. When their number is complete, he will call back his Jewish people. That's my thought.

  2. The destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70

  8. This scripture is speaking of the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70 with the Romans destroying the Temple because of the Jews revolting. Yet another diaspora of the Jewish people that continues today. But praise God as He is fulfilling His prophecies, the Jews are returning to their homeland in greater numbers. Last year alone 70,000 Jews made Aliyah!
    "Until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled" is speaking of the church age. Ephesians 2:15 states, "one new man" which means Jew and Gentile alike;
    Romans 11 and many other scriptures speak of the salvation of the Jews.
    John 4 tells me I owe my salvation to the Jews as well as for the Holy Scriptures I love so much, the entirely of the New and Old Testament.
    You know that was a loaded question!

    1. Thanks, Dori.

      Non-German speaking readers, in English that says Romans 11:25. It reads:
      Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

    1. I have understood it to mean anyone who is not Jewish. I looked it up for a more precise definition. Here is the Encyclopedia Britannica's definition:

      Gentile, person who is not Jewish. The word stems from the Hebrew term goy, which means a "nation," and was applied both to the Hebrews and to any other nation. The plural, goyim, especially with the definite article, ha-goyim, "the nations," meant nations of the world that were not Hebrew.
