We are not living in the “times of the Gentiles” as you may have heard.
Dispensationalists admit that Jerusalem was trampled by the Gentiles in AD 70 (or they create some imaginative trampling prior to the cross that does NOT exist in Scripture or history.) Then they turn around and say we are living in the times of the Gentiles. That doesn’t work:
Luke 21:24
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.
You may say … but maybe the gentiles have been “trampling” for 1954 years?
No, Christians must be humble enough to submit themselves and their false traditions and ideas to the inspired Word of God, which says:
Revelation 11:2
but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.
If you have the trampling of the holy city for 42 months in AD 70, the time of the Gentiles is over.
If you imaginatively and falsely claim the trampling was prior to the cross .. guess what? It’s still over. The time of the Gentiles concludes with the conclusion of the 42 months.
Inescapable logical conclusion:
The trampling ended in AD 70. The times of the Gentiles ended in AD 70.
Israelites fell by the sword in AD 70. They were led captive among the nations in AD 70. Jerusalem was trampled in AD 70.
We are not in the times of the Gentiles.
