What is the "Times of the Nations" Luke 21:24 speaks of?
When Israel was taken into captivity by Babylon, it was the end of their sovereignty. Since then Israel has been under the control of some Gentile power.
The "Times of the Nations" will end at the second coming. Forever.
Or "Times of the gentiles". Same thing.

Revelation 12:14 NASB pasted from http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+12&version=NASB
14But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
Explain it for us G-75?

Read carefully, and notice that after Revelation 4 that the "Church" is never mentioned again. That will give you a clue concerning the end of the "Church age".
Right now, today, we are in the "Church age", or, if you will, the "dispensation of the Grace of God".
But to answer your question. When this present age ends God will resume the prophetic program with the revealing of the Antichrist and the ensuing seventieth week of Daniel, or what is more commonly referred to as the tribulation period.
The "times of the gentiles" ends at the second coming of Christ at the end of the tribulation.
