I was reading something in Revelations about the times of the gentiles. The times of the Gentiles is that long period beginning with the Babylonian captivity of Judah, under Nebuchadnezzar, and to be brought to an end by the destruction of the Gentile world-power by the "stone cut out without hands" Dan 2:34,35,44,i.e. the coming of the Lord in glory Rev.19:11,21, until which time Jerusalem is politically subject to Gentile rule Lk 21:24.
Question: Is Jerusalem/Israel subject to Gentile rule because of all the aid and arms we give them? Just wondering.

The difficulty in answering this question lies in trying to apply spiritual or non-physical and/or the metaphysical, allegorical context to understand the world we live in now. The ideas conflict with each other as one has to do with eternity and the other is quite temporal in its nature.
