Les Feldick Bible Study

How long have the times of the Gentiles and the outcalling of the Church run concurrently?

The times of the Gentiles and the outcalling of the Church have run concurrently since 6 B.C. The obedient Gentiles who believe the Gospel form the outcalling, running parallel with ungodly Gentiledom from that date until the fullness of the Gentiles is complete.

Les explains that two parallel Gentile groups run concurrently: the outcalling of the Church (the fullness of the Gentiles, referenced as Revelation 11:25) and the times of ungodly Gentiledom. This concurrency began ever since 6 B.C. Human history demonstrates that ungodly Gentiledom has brought misery, war, famine, disease, and despair. This will culminate in the final seven years of tribulation, with the worst being the last three and a half years. That will end Gentile domination of Jerusalem when Christ returns. He also notes that praying for the peace of Jerusalem, as Psalms instructs, is praying for the Lord's return.
