I've heard that the time of the gentiles refers to the period of grace when the gentiles are called into fellowship with God through Jesus Christ. the end of the time of the gentiles is when jewish people start to be grafted back in by coming to believe in Jesus Christ as their Saviour. there are more jewish people in jerusalem coming to Christ now-a-days than there has been since the time of Jesus Christ on earth.

Furthermore, when ?YOU? see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near. 21 Then let those in Ju?de′a begin fleeing to the mountains, and let those in the midst of her withdraw, and let those in the country places not enter into her; 22 because these are days for meting out justice, that all the things written may be fulfilled. 23 Woe to the pregnant women and the ones suckling a baby in those days! For there will be great necessity upon the land and wrath on this people; 24 and they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations, until the appointed times of the nations are fulfilled.
25 "Also, there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations, not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and [its] agitation, 26 while men become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 But as these things start to occur, raise yourselves erect and lift ?YOUR? heads up, because ?YOUR? deliverance is getting near."
29 With that he spoke an illustration to them: "Note the fig tree and all the other trees: 30 When they are already in the bud, by observing it ?YOU? know for yourselves that now the summer is near. 31 In this way ?YOU? also, when ?YOU? see these things occurring, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Truly I say to ?YOU, This generation will by no means pass away until all things occur. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
Compare to Revelations:
1 And it stood still upon the sand of the sea.
And I saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names. 2 Now the wild beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion's mouth. And the dragon gave to [the beast] its power and its throne and great authority.
3 And I saw one of its heads as though slaughtered to death, but its death-stroke got healed, and all the earth followed the wild beast with admiration. 4 And they worshiped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshiped the wild beast with the words: "Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?" 5 And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given it, and authority to act forty-two months was given it. 6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his residence, even those residing in heaven. 7 And there was granted it to wage war with the holy ones and conquer them , and authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8 And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world.
Identify the Holy Ones in order to understand the meaning of Revelations. The holy ones are those labeled as terrorists, or descendants of Ishmael, the nation of Islam (Palestinians). The prophecies identify this group of people perfectly......
