Luke 21:19-24 In your patience possess ye your souls. 20. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24. 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.

So, What does it mean?

The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. by Titus, the Roman, is the first fulfillment of this prophecy. In this first fulfillment, we see Jerusalem "trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled".

In the law entitled, "Basic Law-Jerusalem Capitol of Israel" of 1980, promoted by Guela Kohen, provision was made for the capitol of Israel to be moved from Tel-aviv to Jerusalem. This law contained all the provisions to once again restore Jerusalem, complete and united, as the capitol of Israel. This fulfilled the requirement of the prophecy of the Messiah. The first fulfillment of this prophecy was completed by this "commandment to restore and build Jerusalem" (Daniel 9:25).

When did the movement begin, that focused on the Hebrew roots of Christianity? Did it not begin in the 1980s?

The last fulfillment of this prophecy will, no doubt, end at the end of time when the Gentiles are given 42 months, just before the Messiah sets up His millennial reign of 1000 years.

But in the intervening time between these two fulfillments, attention will, once again, focus "on the restoration of all things, spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began" Acts 3:19.
