What is a Greek's favorite washing machine cycle for his delicate garments? The gentile cycle. ;)

Alright, I'll walk out.

Luke 21:24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. ........

25 “Then there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and there will be anguish on the earth among nations bewildered by the roaring sea and waves. 26 People will faint from fear and expectation of the things that are coming on the world, because the celestial powers will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 But when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near!” 29 Then He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, (Hosea 9:10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert; when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree.) and all the trees. 30 As soon as they put out leaves you can see for yourselves and recognize that summer is already near. 31 In the same way, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. 32 I assure you: This generation (This word in the very Koine Greek means Genetic Bloodline) will certainly not pass away until all things take place. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

Matthew 24:12 Because lawlessness (Matthew 23) will multiply, the love of many will grow cold.

Revelation 2:4,5 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

James 5:1,2,3,4,5,6 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. (Revelation 6:10 How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?) You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.;

Ezekiel 16:49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have see

Summer is NEAR because the FIG TREE is in bloom, again.

When the ONE TRUE Gospel is fully Apostatized and those remaining on the earth no Longer demonstrate the Love for and of Jesus Christ. All that is left of "believers" will be hard hearted ilk, identical to those that "judged" Christ guilty within the Sanhedrin and judged humanity by the appearance of human flesh. They will be worldly minded and seeking to live lavishly, without concern for the Spiritually poor or the Physically poor. These apostatized ones will casually light their tongues on fire against mankind that is made in God's image. The salt will be worth nothing but to be thrown out and trampled. The Salt will have no genuine Love. The Salt will be fully used for "Self Preservation", with no concern for those that need it all around. The numbers of True Believers will be down so low that they would be slaughtered for their faith... unless they pray to be found worthy (Luke 21:36) to not have to endure the events that are to come.

They (the few final True Believers in Jesus Christ that are full of Love, Mercy and Compassion towards all mankind) will be SNATCHED away and the Presence of God in the Body, that has bound Satan from manifesting his full power will be gone. The snatching is the unchaining.

No more Gentile age and no more GOSPEL preaching.

The wicked one will then be free to go forward with his final grand deceit.

I can't help but wonder... Have you found something compelling on this matter? I'm now putting on my listening ears.

What a great question? To trace Paul's thinking, one might go back to Jesus' Great Commission, which implies that there would be some sort of fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, that he would be father of "many nations." Even if that is fulfilled in some future Millennium, Jesus said that God's Kingdom had been on earth with Israel, and that it would be removed from Israel and given to another "nation."

My supposition is that the other "nation" referenced is the Roman Kingdom, which in Dan 2 and 7 is the 4th and final kingdom in the train of empires leading to the Kingdom of God. So the "fulness of the Gentiles" might be the full cycle of European Christianity, which has advanced throughout NT history, but is now in decline.

When paganism has completely returned to European peoples, then I think we've reached the terminal point in European entry into the Kingdom of God. That's when the "fullness of the Gentiles have come in," as I see it.

Paul said this entry into Gentile society of the Kingdom of God would make the Jewish People jealous. But when the Kingdom of God likewise departs from Roman society, then there is nothing more that can make the Jewish People jealous. So I think the de-Christianization of European Civilization is the end point of the present age, when the salvation of national Israel can no longer be delayed and judgment must come to all.

The fullness of the gentiles is when the gospel has gone out to the entire world and then Jesus will return.

Revelation 14:6-12 in the Bible depicts three angels flying swiftly to the earth with important messages for the world right before Jesus Christ returns. These messages are warnings for people to turn to God and leave religious confusion and false worship before He comes.

It depends on how you understand ethnos in this statement in Rom 11:25. Is it to be understood as gentiles, nations, races, tribes, or heathen? Paul has given some clues in the chapter-passages leading up to this statement. There are seven mountains, there are seven nations greater and mightier than Yisrael, and there are seven kings. So then, if you read ethnos here as heathen then the fullness of the heathen will be when the transgressors have come to the full. Beware especially of the Girgashi, they are Legion. :)

Deuteronomy 7:1-6 KJV
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

We are to make no marriages with them: for it would be no different than as in the days of Noah. We are to destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire, and make no covenants with them. We are to show them no mercy and cut them off before they choke the seed of the Logos from the soil of the heart, (we wrestle not against flesh and blood: you cannot see this genos of heathen with the eyes of the flesh, but they may indeed creep in alongside unaware to us as we sit down to our love-feasts in the Word: as brute beasts, and clouds without water driven by the wind, as autumn trees having gone past the time, bearing no fruit, etc., etc.).

So if you read ethnos in Rom 11:25 as heathen, their number is seven, and yet they are legion, and their distinct characteristics are expounded in various places throughout the scripture so that we may recognize them and their evil.

To understand the fullness of the Gentiles we need to start with the times of the Jews.

The Jewish kingdom began at Sinai, when the Shekinah glory dwelt in the Tabernacle and later in Solomon's Temple. This was when the times of the Jews started, time was not based on how old the earth was but based on the reigns of the Jewish leaders at the time.

For example 1 Kings 16:8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.

Time is based on who is ruling which was an extension of the authority of God.

When the Babylonian captivity occurred the Shekinah glory departed the temple and the times of the Jews ended.

After the times of the Jews, Daniel gives us the images of the reigning Gentile powers on earth as animals, which one day would end. The times of the Gentiles started with Babylon and the last act that the Gentiles were prophesied to perform was the sacking of Jerusalem in Daniel 9:26-27, this happened in 70AD. We see the statements such as the fullness of the Gentiles or times of the Gentiles be fulfilled because the Gentiles didn’t fully complete all that they were prophesied to do when Romans was written. Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. The times of the Gentiles came in when the fullness or completion of all things prophesied for them occurred.

We have now come to mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels. Jesus is now reigning and the Shekinah glory is in New Jerusalem as seen in Revelation 21:22-23.

It is interesting to note that the words IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD is sometimes used when expressing a date, nobody says IN THE YEAR OF THE GENTILES.

Acts 17:30-31CSB
30 “Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, GOD now commands all people everywhere to repent,
31 because He has set a Day (Lord's Day, the seventh and last Day, or seventh nd last millennium) when he is going to Judge the WORLD in righteousness by the man He has appointed. He has provided proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

John 1:10-13:
10 He -JESUS - was in the WORLD, and the world was made by Him, and the WORLD knew Him not.
11 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.
12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD.

1John 3:1-15KJV
3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of GOD: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.
2 Beloved, NOW are we the sons of GOD, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall APPEAR, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of GOD was manifested, that He might DESTROY the works of the Devil.
9 Whosoever is born of GOD doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of GOD.
10 In this the children of GOD are manifest, and the children of the Devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of GOD, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that Wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from DEATH unto LIFE, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in DEATH.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

The Word is GOD, GOD Himself, self-executing,
Be careful or else get ready

Is there a quantitative means of determining the conditions under which "the fullness of the Gentiles have come in".

Isaiah 42:
19 Who is blind but My servant,
Or deaf as My messenger whom I send?
Who is blind as he who is perfect,
And blind as the Lord’s servant?

The point is: ""Is there a quantitative means of determining the conditions under which "the fullness of the Gentiles have come in""?

According to the Luke 21:24 and Revelation 11:2KJV, the Lord JESUS reveals: -->The court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.-->This prophecy of our Lord JESUS Christ will LITERALLY be fulfilled when the next and last Pope be elected, the Gentile Beast of sea having 7 heads, 10 horns,and a name of blasphemy-Revelation 13:1. And, in the other hand, also the false Messiah-John 5:43-47 combined with Revelation 13:11-18, be enthroned in the holy city called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, then THE FALSE MESSIAH, the Dragon, will give to the Pope, the Beast of sea, the main partner of the red Dragon, his Power, and his Throne, and great Authority-Revelation 13:2, and will be given unto the Pope, the Gentile Beast of sea, mouth, that spake great things and blasphemies, and power was given unto him, to do two and forty months-Revelation 13:5. This SATANIC and religious event (Judaism and Catholicism) performs the first half of the last week, week 70th Daniel 9:27.
The scenario in Jerusalem, the holy city, will be of human upheaval, the environment in the holy city will be of EXTREME convulsion evidently, multitudes of people and kindreds and tongues and nations will travel to Jerusalem, a strong tourist movements from all nations, mainly religious tourism from all religions and evangelical churches of all denominations, and sects, and they will travel to Jerusalem, multitudes will be circling in holy city.

“Time, Times and a Half Time” is Not 3 1/2 Years (post #48
