The definition of the term, "Gentiles," as given above is now very important. The Lord is about to give a terse warning to these "Gentiles," so who are they? They are the Europeans who first abused and scattered the natives of North and South America as explorers and imperialists. They are the people of North America who abused and scattered the American Indians in the 19th century. Because of the Lord's focus on the promises and prophecies which apply to the New World, we may safely assume, that this warning to the Gentiles applies primarily to the non-believing peoples of North America.
