and coDTeited Jews was set up at Jerusalem, and flourished for a short time.
3. Some think, with Whithy and Newcome, that it refers entirely to things to come, and that the time of the Gentiles will be fulfilled when they are all fully couTerted to Christianity.
4. The true view I believe to be this. The " times of the Gentiles'* I regard as the period between the first and second advents of Christ, during which the Gentile nations have a day of visitation and enjoy the privileges of the Gospel. — These times will come to an end at last, as the old Jewish dispensation did, because of the hardness and unbelief of the Gentile churches. They too, because they continue not in God's goodness, will be cut off. — And when their time of visitation comes to an end, and they have been found as faithless and hardened as the Jews, then at last will the Jews be converted, and Jerusalem restored to its rightful possessors.
^Our own times, be it remembered, are the " times of the Gentiles." They are times which seem rapidly drawing to an end. When they do end, the conversion of the Jews and the restoration of Jerusalem will take place.
