⚪ They began in 606 B.C.

The Bible evidence is clear and strong that the "Times of the Gentiles" is a period of 2520 years, from the year B. C. 606 to and including A. D. 1914..

Now bear in mind the date already found for the beginning of these Gentile Times - viz., B.C. 606 - while we proceed to examine the evidence proving their length to be 2520 years, ending A. D. 1914.

Since, as we have already shown, the "Gentile Times" began B. C. 606, and were to continue twenty-five hundred and twenty years, they will end A. D. 1914.
(2520 - 606 = 1914.)

⚫ They began in 607 B.C.

The "appointed times of the nations" = "times of the Gentiles" (source: Insight on the Scriptures, Vol1, p132)

Since those "appointed times of the nations" began with the desolating of Judah and Jerusalem by the Gentiles in October of 607 B.C., the end of their 2,520 years' duration would fall in October, A.D. 1914.

This disposed of Jesus' ruling as a man on earth. After running the full length of "seven times", or 2,520 years from 607 B.C., these "appointed times of the nations" expired in October, A.D. 1914.

The beginning of the "appointed times of the nations" in 607 B.C. was marked by the overturning of the typical kingdom of God, whose king sat on the "throne of Jehovah" at Jerusalem. The end of those "times of the nations" A .D. 1914 must be marked by the setting up of the real, antitypical kingdom of God in the hands of his Permanent Heir of the Kingdom covenant.

So counting from 607 B.C.E. when the Gentile nations gained exclusive domination of the earth, when do those “appointed times” end?
The answer is 1914.
