"TIMES OF NATIONS/GENTILES" Luke 21:24

LittleLambofJesus · Aug 30, 2018

We see Ezekiel 30:3 mentioning "Time of Nations":

Ezekiel 30:
1 And a word of Yahweh is coming to me to say of:
2 "Son of adam! prophesy thou! and thou say,
'Thus says Adonay Yahweh: 'Wail ye! 'Woe! for Day!'
3 that near Day, and near Day of Yahweh,
a Day of cloud, Time/`ethעֵת (`eth) <06256> of Nations shall become.

Daniel 12:1 mentions a time of distress which has not happened from becoming a nation until that time.

Daniel 12:1
1 And in that Time, Miyka'el shall stand, the great chief, the one standing over sons of thy People.
And Time<06256> of distress becomes,
which not has-become from to becoming a Nation, until that time<06256>.
And in that Time<06256>, thy people shall Escape, all of the ones being found being written in Scroll.

Luke 21:24 mentioning "times of nations":

Luke 21:24
"And they shall be falling by mouth of sword, and they shall be being led captive into all the Nations.
And Jerusalem shall be being trampled by nations until which may be being fulfilled<4137> Times<2540> of nations

Revelation 11:2 mentions the court outside of the sanctuary being cast out and given to the nations/gentiles for 42 months. Is this the same event mentioned in Luke 21:24?

Revelation 11:1
And there was given unto me a reed like unto a staff, saying--
"rouse! and measure! the Sanctuary<3485> of the God and the Altar[Golden Altar?] and them who are doing homage therein;
2 and the Court/Palace<833>[Court of High Priest/bronze altar?] the one outside the Sanctuary<3485>, be you casting out!<1544 ekbale> out-side<1854> and thou should not be measuring,
that it was given unto the nations.
And the holy City they shall be tramping-upon forty and two months.

It is difficult to reply to post as above. They are such a mix of times and events.
Try to concentrate on one event and establish when that fits.

I post Ezekiel 30:1-5 quite often, as a prophecy about the Lord's Day of wrath, that will virtually wipe out the Middle East region.

Hello Keras. Yes a mix of times and events the 1st century Jews would have been familiar with concerning prophecies in the OT.

A few views of Luke 21:

Until the Times of the Gentiles is Fulfilled– Future or Fulfilled? Guest Article
November 22, 2017 1948 1967 Days of Vengeance eschatology Israel's Land Promises last days Olivet Discourse Temple of God Times of the Gentiles

Jesus told his disciples that Jerusalem shall be trodden down until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Dispensationalists tell us that the times of the Gentiles began with Babylon’s domination of Jerusalem and Judah. Some tell us that the times of the Gentiles ended in 1967. In my formal YouTube debate with prominent Premillennial debater and apologist Dr. Michael Brown, he appealed to Luke 21:24. My response visibly stunned him and he had no answer. I have been intending to write an article on this important subject for some time. However, Ed Stevens sent an article to me that he had written and I am sharing it here. It is an excellent analysis of “the times of the Gentiles.”

Pretrib Premillennialists, like Randall Price, connect the “Times of the Gentiles [or
nations]” with the “fullness of the Gentiles” in Romans 11:25, and assert that both texts are yet
future in fulfillment, at a time when “all Israel” will repent and accept Jesus as their Messiah, so
that Jerusalem and the Temple will no longer be desolate. They see the “trampling” as being the
desolation throughout the whole period from AD 70 until a future restoration. Many
commentaries share this perspective (e.g., Albert Barnes, Adam Clarke, Beza, Fourfold Gospel,
JFB, and others). [See Randall Price’s statements about this in Tim LaHaye and Thomas Ice,
gen. eds. The End Times Controversy, Eugene Oregon: Harvest House Publishers, 2003. Chapter
15. p. 397]

However, both Meyer and Lightfoot see it as completely fulfilled in AD 70. For instance,
Meyer understands “the times of the Gentiles” as meaning “till the time that the . . . completion
of divine judgments . . . shall have run out. . . . Such times of the Gentiles are ended . . . by the
Parousia (Lk. 21:25-27), which is to occur during the lifetime of the hearers (verse 28); hence
those KAIROI [times] are in no way to be regarded as of longer duration…” [Heinrich August
Wilhelm Meyer. Critical and Exegetical Hand-book to the Gospels of Mark and Luke. Volume
3: Luke-John. Peabody, Massachusetts: Hendrickson Publishers, 1983. Reprint of the sixth
edition of 1884. pp. 530-531]

Lightfoot likewise understands the “times of the Gentiles” to have ended in that first
century generation that saw the signs: “…nothing could be said clearer . . . than that of verse 32;
‘Verily, I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled.’ It is strange this
should be no more observed … [since] these very words are as a gnomon [indicator of meaning] to the whole chapter…” [John Lightfoot. A Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud
and Hebraica. Grand Rapids, Michigan: Baker Book House, 1979. Reprinted from the 1859
edition of Oxford University Press. p. 199]

Meyer and Lightfoot both mentioned several verses in the context as indicating the time
of fulfillment (especially verses 25-28, and 32). The numerous contextual clues listed below
clearly point to a first century fulfillment of the “trampling” and the “times of the Gentiles.”
• Luke 21:20 says “when you see.” Jesus is talking to His contemporary disciples, not to
some generation thousands of years into the future.

• Luke 21:22 – Jesus is talking about a whole complex of events which had been
predicted in the Old Testament, “all” of which (including the “trampling” and the
“times of the Gentiles”) would be “fulfilled” during those “days of vengeance” which
His contemporary disciples would “see” in their lifetime.
• Luke 21:23-27 refers to those same “days of vengeance” again when it says that “in
those days” this whole group of events would occur: (1) women who are pregnant and
nursing will suffer “great distress,” (2) “wrath” upon the Jewish people, (3) “fall by
the edge of the sword,” (4) “led captive into all the nations,” (5) “trampled under
foot,” (6) “signs in sun, moon, and stars,” (7) “dismay,” “perplexity,” and “fear,” (8)
“powers of the heavens will be shaken,” and (9) “see the Son of Man coming.”
Josephus mentions all of these things in his writings.

• Luke 21:28 – There is no distinction made between two different sets of events at two
different time periods. Jesus refers to all nine of the above events as one group (“these
things”), which His first century disciples would see, and thereby know their
redemption had drawn near.

• Luke 21:31-32 – The first century fulfillment of “all these things” (including the
“trampling” and “the times of the Gentiles”) is further emphasized when Jesus says
here that his contemporary disciples (“you”) would “see these things happening” and
know that the Kingdom was about to come. Notice also that “fulfilled” is used twice
(vv. 22, 24) and “all things” twice (vv. 22,32). If there were any doubts remaining,
Jesus removes them all when He affirms with an oath, “Truly I say to you, this
generation will not pass away until all things take place.” All the events mentioned in
this context would occur before that first century generation would pass away.

As Lightfoot remarked above, Jesus could not have been more clear. All the events
mentioned in verses 20-32 are summed up together by the words “all things” (v. 22), “the things”
(v. 26), “these things” (v. 28), “these things” (v. 31), and “all things” (v. 32). And the time of
fulfillment for all these things was said to be “in these days of vengeance” (vv. 22-23) when His
contemporary disciples (“you” and “your,” see verses 20, 28, and 31-32) would still be alive to
“see” it (vv. 20, 27, and 31). If there was any remaining doubt, Jesus settled the time of
fulfillment once for all when He said (v. 32) that all these events (including the “trampling” and
“the times of the Gentiles”) would take place before “this generation” passed away.
There is no wiggle room here. Regardless of how we define the “trampling” and “the
times of the Gentiles,” we have to understand them as events that would occur in that first
century generation.

Furthermore, in verse 22 Jesus says that all the events mentioned here had been predicted
in the Old Testament. This raises the question, “Where does the Old Testament predict the
“trampling” and “the times of the Gentiles”? The answer is easily found when we compare Luke
21:20 with its parallel in Matthew 24:15. Jesus quoted Daniel as his source for the Abomination
of Desolation. So it should not surprise us to find statements in Daniel about “trampling” and
“times of the Gentiles.” And Daniel is not the only place in the Bible we find references to a
trampling and Gentile times. Let’s look at some of them:

CONCLUSION:
The times of the gentiles mentioned here in Lk. 21:24 is merely referring to the trampling
process which lasted three and a half years. In net effect it is saying that the Gentiles will trample
the land for a time, times, and a half time (the times mentioned by Daniel) and fulfill everything
that was predicted by Daniel. The times of the Gentile trampling mentioned by Daniel would be
fulfilled when all the things mentioned here in these five verses (Lk. 21:20-24) have come to
pass (specifically when Jerusalem itself was finally destroyed). When the Gentile armies of
Rome destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, then their TIMES (three and a half years) of
trampling were finished. The Gentiles had trampled upon the land until they fulfilled all the
things that had been prophesied for them to do. They did not leave one thing undone that the
prophets had predicted. The appointed time of destruction had been fulfilled to the maximum.

If you would like to study more about the first-century fulfillments of Matthew 24 and its
parallels in Mark 13, Luke 17 and Luke 21, here are some resources I highly recommend, all of

Does Matthew 24 Recapitulate?

Douggg said: ↑
You are ignoring
Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

BABerean2 said: ↑
It is you who is ignoring what comes after Luke 21:24, which is the same as Matthew 24:30.
Luk 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Douggg said: ↑
You are correct that Luke 21:25-28 and Matthew 24:29-30 are the same, but those verses are end times, not 70 AD. The conclusion of 70 AD is in Luke 21:24, as the Jews are carried off to the nations, and the times of the Gentiles begin.

quote]BABerean2 said: ↑
We are in agreement on the above, and therefore seem to be making some progress.

Based on Luke 21:24-28, the times of the Gentiles ends at the Second Coming of Christ, instead of 7 years before the Second Coming of Christ as many today claim.

Your problem is the fact that Matthew 24:15-16 has already been fulfilled, based on the parallel passage of Luke 21:20-21, because we find the exact same warning to flee below in the second verse of each Gospel.
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Luk 21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
Now what do you do?
Do you revise your chart, or do you ignore what we agree on above to make your chart work? [/quote]

In mine, and many others views, the times of the Gentiles were fulfilled in the 1st century upon the OC Jewish Nation and their Temple.

BABerean2 said:
Your viewpoint of the "times of the Gentiles" only works if you ignore the words of Paul found below.
Is the Gospel still being taken to the Gentiles today, or did it stop in 70 AD ?
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
.

That has nothing to due with the 1st century destruction of Jerusalem and it's Temple Priesthood.......
The Gospel of Jesus was spread all over to both Jews and Gentiles and when that was finished, the End came upon the OC Temple worshiping.......
What do you make of these verses?

1 Timothy 3:16
By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great:
He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.

Colo 1:
6 that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.
23 if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant.

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD

The Destruction Of JERUSALEM An Absolute and Irresistible
PROOF OF THE DIVINE ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY: INCLUDING A NARRATIVE OF THE CALAMITIES WHICH BEFEL THE JEWS

History records few events more generally interesting than the destruction of Jerusalem, and the subversion of the Jewish state, by the arms of the Romans. -- Their intimate connexion with the dissolution of the Levitical economy, and the establishment of Christianity in the world ; the striking verification which they afford of so many of the prophecies, both of the Old and New Testament, and the powerful arguments of the divine authority of the Scriptures which are thence derived ; the solemn warnings and admonitions which they hold out to all nations, but especially such as are favoured with the light and blessings of REVELATION

The Temple now presented little more than a heap of ruins ; and the Roman army as in triumph on the event, came and reared their ensigns against a fragment of the eastern gate, and, with sacrifices of thanksgiving, proclaimed the imperial majesty of Titus, with every possible demonstration of joy.
Thus terminated the glory and existence of this sacred and venerable Edifice, which from its stupendous size, its massy solidity, and astonishing strength, seemed formed to resist the most violent operations of human force, and to stand, like the pyramids, amid the shocks of successive ages, until the final dissolution of the globe.

In executing the command of Titus, relative to the demolition of Jerusalem, the Roman soldiers not only threw down the buildings, but even dug up their foundations, and so completely levelled the whole circuit of the city, that a stranger would scarcely have known that it had ever been inhabited by human beings. Thus was this great City, which only five months before, had been crowded with nearly two millions of people, who gloried in its impregnable strength, entirely depopulated, and levelled with the ground. And thus, also was our LORD'S prediction, that her enemies should "lay her even with the ground," and "should not leave in her one stone upon another, " (Luke xix. 44.) most strikingly and fully accomplished ! -- This fact is confirmed by Eusebius, who asserts that he himself saw the city lying in ruins ; and Josephus introduces Eleazer as exclaiming "Where is our great city, which, it was believed, GOD inhabited ? It is altogether rooted and torn up from its foundations ; and the only monument of it that remains, is the camp of its destroyers pitched amidst its reliques !"

and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

The times of the gentiles last until the end of the world.

Today's Jews are gentiles with Jewish ethnicity and customs. How so? Because circumcision, not blood made one a physical seed of Abraham. And Christ abolished circumcision on the cross.

Hello Dave. Why did you include the word "WORLD" in you sentence.
That is what Futurists normally do and why they generally see the "end of the world" instead of "end of the age".........which would be the age/generation of the 1st century Apostles and Jews and the OC Temple and Priesthood..........

And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
Rev 12:12
“Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time<2540>.”
Rev 12:14
But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time<2540> and times<2540> and half a time<2540>, from the presence of the serpent.
Rev 22:10
And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time<2540> is at hand.

Luk 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Not sure about Daniel 12:1, but Berean's quote of Luke 21:24, Acts 28:28 and Rom 11:25 is speaking of the same thing.
