Is Israel today truly free from Gentile control?
No. Israel today is not truly free from Gentile control. Since 606 B.C., from Babylon through Rome, the Moors, Turks, and Britain’s mandate, Israel has been under Gentile powers. Though it has a semblance of sovereignty, it remains under the heavy hand of the U.N. and other nations until Christ’s second coming.
Les teaches that Jerusalem first fell under complete Gentile control at Nebuchadnezzar’s invasion of Jerusalem, Babylon, and that this continued all the way up through human history to the time of the cross and then Rome. In modern history, Israel has been under various Gentile nations: the Moors, the Turks, and lastly Great Britain under mandate. Britain was in charge of the nation of Israel. They have had a semblance of sovereignty, but for the most part Israel still is under the heavy hand of the U.N. and all the other nations. So Israel has been under control of Gentiles ever since 606 B.C., and will be until Christ returns at His second coming.
