Text of the page (random words):
21 22 christ gave his disciples a sign whereby they should know that the predicted days of vengeance were come so that they might save themselves by flight the sign being the encircling of jerusalem with armies v 20 and then in order to impress the lesson upon their minds he spake a parable concerning the fig tree and all the trees and said so likewise ye when ye see these things come to pass know ye that the kingdom of god is nigh at hand verily i say unto you this generation shall not pass till all be fulfilled vv 31 32 thus we have christ s own statement to the effect that the destruction of jerusalem and the scattering of the nation was a coming of the kingdom of god and this he again coupled with the affirmation that his prediction would be fulfilled before the passing of that generation in studying the three accounts of our lord s olivet prophecy the student should observe that the period designated in luke s account the days of vengeance wherein there should be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people is the same period that mark designates the days of affliction such as was not from the beginning of the creation unto this time mark 13 19 and that is designated by matthew the great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time mat 24 21 the context of the several passages make it certain that one and the same period of unprecedented calamity is referred to in the three passages comparison should be made also with daniel s prophecy and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation and at that time thy people shall be delivered every one that shall be found written in the book dan 12 1 the close similarity between the language of this prophecy and that of our lord s olivet prophecy gives assurance that both refer to the same event the words of the angel to daniel refer expressly to the jewish nation the children of thy people those who were to be delivered in that time of unparalleled distress those found written in the book were of course the disciples of christ who took warning by their lord s utterance and fled for their lives when they saw his predicted sign happy for them they did not have some of our modern expounders of prophecy to instruct them as to the meaning of this prediction and particularly it should be observed as fully confirming what is said above touching both the place and also the time of that season of distress and tribulation wherein all the prophecies of wrath upon this people were to be fulfilled that the locality is expressly limited to judea mat 24 16 and that the time is expressly limited to the generation then living id 34 the immense significance of the destruction of jerusalem by pondering the scriptures cited above the reader will be enabled to perceive the truly immense significance of the execution of god s long deferred though oft threatened judgments and the pouring out of his wrath upon that nation which he had chosen for himself and with which he had dealt for a millennium and a half as he had never dealt with any other for this was the nation he had so marvellously delivered out of egypt the nation to which he had given his holy law amidst the terrors of sinai the nation he had brought into the land of promise driving out before them nations greater and mightier than they to which he had sent his prophets with warning and with promises and to which last of all he sent his only son and if one but calls to mind the many prophecies beginning with deuteronomy 28 49 68 that pointed to and were fulfilled in that stupendous event the destruction of jerusalem he will surely realize something of its unique place and importance in the scheme of god s dealings with mankind finally we have our lord s own word for it that those were to be the days of vengeance wherein all things that were written should be fulfilled luke 21 22 and he was then speaking of a period that was to come within that generation a period of great distress in the land of judea and of great wrath upon that people hence the words all things that are written can mean nothing less than the many predictions of the prophets of israel concerning the judgments that would be executed upon them if they persisted in their disobedience and apostasy to this also the apostle paul manifestly had reference when writing to the thessalonians twenty five to thirty years later he said of the jews that they both killed the lord jesus and their own prophets and have persecuted us and they please not god and are contrary to all men because of all which the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost 1 thess 2 16 the disciples two questions in view of all the foregoing it seems clear that the first question asked by the disciples of their master when shall these things be mat 24 3 had reference to the demolition of the temple whereof he had just spoken v 2 and that the other question and what the sign of thy coming and of the end of the age had reference a to his coming for the destruction of the temple and b to the end of the then elapsing jewish age for that coming judgment would be the day of the lord for that people it was an event such as the prophets of israel might well have described in the very strongest terms and portrayed by means of the most impressive prophetic symbology the times of the gentiles and their fulness the destruction of jerusalem marks not only the ending of the jewish nation but also the beginning of the times of the gentiles it is appropriate therefore to refer at this point to two expressions that are familiar to all students of prophecy the times of the gentiles and the fulness of the gentiles the first occurs in a prophecy of christ concerning the city of jerusalem the second is found in a prophecy of paul concerning the jewish people our lord after having foretold the world wide dispersion of the jews said and jerusalem shall be trodden down of the gentiles until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled luke 21 24 and paul after having set forth under the figure of an olive three the method of god s salvation for both jews and gentiles said i would not brethren that ye be ignorant of this mystery let ye be wise in your own conceits that blindness in part is happened to israel until the fulness of the gentiles be come in rom 11 25 the outstanding feature of each of these prophecies is that it describes a condition that was to last in the plain sight of all mankind throughout the entire era of the gospel the first puts a conspicuous and age long mark upon the city of jerusalem the other puts an equally conspicuous and permanent mark upon the scattered jewish people my purpose is in what follows to show how in the interest of dispensationalism the significance of these exceedingly important scriptures has been changed and the object for which they were given has been in a large measure frustrated for these are prophecies of what was to be during this present age and they are strictly limited thereto whereas they are commonly treated as prophecies of what is to take place after this present age shall have come to an end for our lord s word concerning jerusalem is generally interpreted as a prediction that when the times of the gentiles are ended then jerusalem will be repossessed by the jews and will become the capital city of a revived jewish nation but in fact and it ought not be necessary to point this out the passage says not a word and gives not so much as a hint concerning what will happen to jerusalem after the times of the gentiles shall have come to an end similarly the passage in romans xi is often presented not as a prophecy that was to be fulfilled throughout this gospel dispensation but as a prediction that after the work of the gospel shall have been completed then the jewish people are to be saved nationally and by a special salvation of earthly character different from gospel salvation the passage however not only says not a word concerning a post gospel salvation for the jewish nation but on the contrary teaches plainly that there is but one common salvation jude 3 for all men viz that figured by the olive tree of this passage a twofold witness to the authenticity of bible prophecy let it be noted that the fulfilment of these prophecies demanded the continued existence of both the city and the people though sundered the one from the other to the very end of the gospel era and it demanded also that the city should be in the hands of strangers and the people should be in the lands of strangers during all that great stretch of time here then is a two fold and a conclusive test of the divine authorship of the prophetic scriptures for if in the course of these times of the gentiles either the city or the people had passed out of existence or if the city had come into jewish hands again or the jewish people as a whole had changed their characteristic attitude towards christ and his gospel the prophecies would have been falsified and the entire new testament discredited on the other hand seeing that none but god could have declared how it would fare with the city and people throughout this long age these prophecies by their fulfilment furnish an unimpeachable witness to their divine authorship and hence to the divine origin of the book whereof they are an integral part a continuing fulfilment what gives these prophecies their surpassing value as witnesses to the divine authorship of the bible is the fact that they have the extraordinary character of demanding a continuing fulfilment prophecies which foretell the happening of a specific event as the destruction of jerusalem are of no value at all as evidence until the predicted event occurs and then the full effect is felt only by the generation living at the time but these prophecies are of such a nature as to bear witness to every successive generation and not only so but are such that their testimony becomes more and more impressive as the centuries roll on moreover the fulfilment stands prominently before the eyes of the whole world for jerusalem is a conspicuous city and so likewise as to the jewish race they are everywhere and wherever they are they are jews and known as such therefore god has made it possible by means of these two prophecies alone even if there were no other proofs available for all honest inquirers at all times throughout this gospel dispensation to have convincing proof of the divine inspiration of the holy scriptures and particularly of the certainty of the predictive element therein this is jerusalem special heed should be given to the fact that these prophecies relate wholly and exclusively to this present age our lord in the olivet prophecy which we are considering as recorded in luke s gospel foretold that there should be wrath upon this people that they should fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations and finally that jerusalem should be trodden down of the gentiles until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled and there his prediction ends but in all the modern expositions i ever heard or read the actual prediction of our lord is virtually ignored and he is made to say that when the times of the gentiles are ended then the jews will be reconstituted as a nation and will repossess their ancient homeland with jerusalem as their capital city thus a prophecy that is limited to a state of things which was to prevail during this present age is converted into a prediction of a supposed state of things after the age shall have ended what our lord took upon himself to foretell in this prophecy is that the storm of judgment soon to break upon jerusalem would not blot it out of existence as sodom and gomorrah were obliterated notwithstanding that her sin was likened to that of the cities of the plain isa 1 10 and see luke 10 12 nor was it to be entirely abandoned and fall into ruins like babylon and tyre prophecy had previously declared concerning those famous cities whose greatness and prosperity seemed to guarantee their permanence that the former should become heaps of rubbish a dwelling place for dragons and be no more inhabited forever jer 50 39 51 37 and that the latter should be scraped bare and become like the top of a rock and a place for the spreading of nets ezek 26 4 5 21 27 36 28 19 and even so it was and is with those once mighty and flourishing cities jerusalem on the contrary though for its crimes it merited a severer punishment was decreed to remain intact but with a mark of divine retribution abiding upon it for it was to be perpetually in the hands of aliens and thus was to serve as a conspicuous monument to the truth of god s word had the prophecies concerning the above named cities respectively been the products of mere human foresight based upon the probabilities of the several cases their terms would have been reversed and the longer existence predicted of the gentile cities as to what will befall jerusalem after the times of the gentiles are ended i observe 1 the lord did not see fit to speak of that in this prophecy this is a noteworthy fact for had he meant to make known that the jews were to regain possession of their ancient city he would not have left the passage as it stands in the bible 2 other scriptures moreover reveal clearly that when the work of the gospel among the nations of the world is ended the lord will come again that he will then remove his own redeemed people from this doomed earth and will pour out the vials of exterminating wrath upon the rest he himself has pointed to the destruction of the earth in the days of noah and to that of sodom in the days of lot as the typical foreshadowings of the universal judgment to come and in so doing he laid emphasis upon the fact that the very day that noah entered the ark the flood came and destroyed them all and the same day that lot went out of sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all luke 17 27 29 it is certain therefore that when the times of the gentiles are ended there will be no jewish people left on earth the vail on their hearts it was the lord s decree from of old isa 6 9 12 mat 13 14 that the people of israel because of their gross and long continued wickedness and rebellion should be blinded and hardened to the word of the lord the apostle paul refers to their spiritually blinded state in figurative terms saying that the veil which moses put over his face now lies upon their hearts 2 cor 3 14 15 and here rom xi he adds nothing to this but the fact that the predicted state of blindness in part was to continue until the fulness of the gentiles be come in v 25 and there he leaves the subject again however as in the case already noted modern expositors interpret the scripture in such manner as to change its meaning in a material respect for my experience has been that when this passage is cited it is not for the purpose of showing that the divinely imposed blindness of the natural israel was to continue until the...
