Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Israel-Specific Promises

While the verse clearly speaks of Jerusalem and the Jewish people, the "times of the Gentiles" could be interpreted as a broader theological concept referring to a period of Gentile dominance in salvation history, rather than a promise specifically *to* Israel.

Time-Bound Fulfillment

While the verse mentions a "until" clause, the "times of the Gentiles" is an undefined period, making it difficult to recognize a specific fulfillment or duration.
