Theme for the Month of April: WHAT TIME IS IT?

Message: “The Times Of The Gentiles”

Grounding Scripture(s): Luke 21:24

Introduction 

Jesus at this point prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem and the worldwide dispersion of the Hebrew people (the Word of the LORD in Deut. 28:64). This we know took place in A.D. 70 by the hands of Roman soldiers who were of the first part of the fourth kingdom. Jesus’ prophecy ties neatly into Nebuchadnezzar’ dream in Daniel 2 and Daniel’s vision in chapter 7. The expression which Jesus used is: “until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” By this He expressed the non-Hebrew or heathen world governments in relation to Israel.  

 

 Now the times of the gentiles is running out. What time is it then?

 

1. Israel shall fall by the edge of the sward
2. They shall be led captives into all nations
3. Jerusalem shall be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles

i.                 Until “the times of the Gentiles” are fulfilled

ii.               Because of vengeance against Israel (Det. 28:62-64).

iii.             For the mystery of the “fullness of the Gentiles” (Rom. 11:25; Acts 15:14-18)

a.      We must not be wise in our own eyes, (but in the gospel; the scripture) (Rom. 11:25-33).  

b.     We must herald the coming of the fullness of His abiding and ever increasing glory (Dan. 2:35).
