Jesus foretells of the destruction of Jerusalem by the Gentiles; many believe that this event has already happened. Some claim that the Jews in Israel aren’t the real Jews because of this verse. Others claim that this took place during the reign of King Antiochus IV Epiphanes of Greece in 168 BC. That begs the question, when did the Gentiles overtake Israel? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find answers to these questions and more in her video, Israel Trampled Underfoot of the Gentiles.

Israel Trampled Underfoot of the Gentiles
20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, 22 for these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written. 23 Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Luke 21:20-24
Jesus is telling of the future, not the past, therefore it can’t be the reign of King Antiochus IV Epiphanes of Greece Jesus is referring to because it happened before Jesus’ time. It can’t be referring to those living in Israel right now because this hasn’t happened yet. Israel isn’t trampled underfoot of the Gentiles until The Man of Lawlessness begins his reign ussering in The Great Tribulation.
