When was the prophecy about Jews being led captive into all nations fulfilled?
Scripture records Jesus saying they would fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations. According to the context, this happened at the siege of Titus, while later signs in sun, moon, stars, and distress of nations remain future.
Les explains that in Luke 21 Jesus foretold that the Jews would fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations. He identifies the fulfillment as the siege of Titus. He then contrasts this with verse 25’s signs in the sun, moon, and stars and distress of nations with perplexity, saying those have not happened yet. This shows the Old Testament program was interrupted, with a gap placed in it, and all of that remaining prophecy is still future.
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.

Until when will the Gentiles trample Jerusalem according to Jesus' prophecy?
Jesus' prophecy that Jerusalem would be trodden down by the Gentiles includes the crucial word 'until', meaning the Gentiles will not dominate Jerusalem forever; the time of Gentile domination ends when the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled, and then the Gentiles will no longer have Jerusalem under their feet.
