How long did the dispersion of the Jewish people last?
The Jewish dispersion began after the Roman armies destroyed the temple and Jerusalem, and it lasted until the modern generation. Jewish people returned to the land starting in the early 1900s, and in 1948 they became a sovereign state, ending the long dispersion.
Les explains that in just a few years after the events described, the Roman armies destroyed the temple and Jerusalem, and the Jewish people went into a dispersion. That dispersion lasted until the modern generation, when they began coming back into the land since the early 1900s. In 1948 they became a sovereign state. Les notes that everything taking place for the last forty-some years is getting ready for the fulfillment of the prophetic Word, though he emphasizes there is no prophecy directed to the church.
