How long will Jerusalem be trodden down by the Gentiles?
Jerusalem will be trodden down by Gentile armies until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. This period began with Nebuchadnezzar and continued through Gentile dominion, including Titus’s siege in A.D. 70, and Jerusalem will remain under Gentile dominion until Christ returns.
Les explains that Jesus’ statement is not about Armageddon or His return; it refers to the Roman general Titus besieging Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Jesus said Jerusalem would be trodden down, under the heavy boot of Gentile armies, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Les teaches that the times of the Gentiles started back in that earlier Gentile takeover of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem has for the most part been under Gentile dominion ever since. It will remain so until Christ returns.
