THE GENTILE PERIOD FROM A.D. 70 TO 1948
Remember what Jesus said about these times in which we live, that He called the “times of the Gentiles”?
Luke 21:24 (NKJV) And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
What have these “times of the Gentiles” looked like? Let’s take a tour of this Gentile period noting thedifferent eras that span nineteen centuries.
1. The ROMAN PERIOD (AD 70 – 33) The Romans brought their own people to
repopulate the city.
2. The BYZANTINE PERIOD (330 – 638) This is the period after Constantine.
3. The FIRST MUSLIM PERIOD (638 – 1099) Mohammed began the religion of Islam
and conquered the city of Jerusalem with the sword.
4. The CRUSADER PERIOD (1099 – 1187) Pope Urban 2 issued a decree saying that anyone who was willing to go to the holy land to liberate it from the Muslims would be forgiven all sins, and if unable to go, the same benefits would extend to those who contributed financially to send a substitute
5. The LATER MUSLIM PERIOD (1187 – 1517) Once again, the Muslims dominated the land of Israel for four long centuries.
6. The TURKISH PERIOD (1517 – 1917) The Ottoman Turks defeated the Muslims, and Suleiman ruled from Constantinople over the Eastern wing of the Roman Empire. Under his reign, the present walls of the city of Jerusalem were built nearly four hundred years ago.
7. The BRITISH PERIOD (1917 – 1948) The British asked the United Nations to resolve the conflict surrounding the city and the land was given to the Jews in 1948. Jerusalem was divided up into four sectors – Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Armenian.
8. Current period from A.D. 1948 to the Tribulation. But in the war of 1967, the city fell to Israeli hands and the territory all the way to the Jordan River (known as the West Bank) became a part of the Israeli state. Many people believe that this ended the domination of the Gentiles which Christ spoke about. ‘Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled (Luke 21:24). This explains why some people think that Christ’s return may be near.
