The "gap" is okay though.
There is a "gap" that Jesus and Paul spoke of, that the prophet may not have been addressing.
Here is the "gap" that must be addressed by us today......
Luke 21:24 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.
Romans 11:25 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
I think this is saying that when the last Gentile comes in(rapture), then the Lord will return to Israel. It simply has not happened yet.
Those that teach the "gap" concept, view these verses as part of the equation of the times of the Church age also.

Please tell me when this gap started? Just when did God turn from the Jews, and turn to the Gentiles?
And what is the criteria that the last Gentile comes in? When millions of new births happen everyday, what kind of a God choses a point in time to take a certain number out of the world, and condemn the rest to hell?
