Luk 21:24 | MHM | STEP | v. 24 : Many Jews would be killed by the sword, and others would be taken away as captives to many nations. Jerusalem would be destroyed and ruled over by Gentiles (non-Jews) for a long time. The city would be trampled down until the period called the times of the Gentiles was finished (Luke 21:24 ). Jesus also said that Jerusalem would be under the control of Gentiles until their time was complete. Some people think this means Jerusalem would stay in foreign hands until many Gentiles became Christians and even the Jews would one day believe in Jesus. Others think it means that the time of the Gentiles would last until God’s plan for the nations was finished, and then Jerusalem would no longer be ruled by foreigners.

v. 24: Many Jews would be killed by the sword, and others would be taken away as captives to many nations. Jerusalem would be destroyed and ruled over by Gentiles (non-Jews) for a long time. The city would be trampled down until the period called the times of the Gentiles was finished (Luke 21:24 ^a). Jesus also said that Jerusalem would be under the control of Gentiles until their time was complete. Some people think this means Jerusalem would stay in foreign hands until many Gentiles became Christians and even the Jews would one day believe in Jesus. Others think it means that the time of the Gentiles would last until God’s plan for the nations was finished, and then Jerusalem would no longer be ruled by foreigners.
