How long was Jerusalem to be trodden down of the Gentiles?
Answer
"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem
shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." Luke 21: 24.
NOTE - Jerusalem stands for the people, the truth, and the true worship of God. It is first
mentioned in the Bible as Salem (Gen. 14:18); is spoken of figuratively as a mother bringing forth the
children of God (Gal. 4:26,27); and is a type of the holy city, New Jerusalem, which is to be the metropolis
of the new earth.
