What will Israel's fullness bring, according to the "how much more" argument?

According to the 'how much more' argument, Israel's fullness will bring far greater riches than their fall or diminishing brought to the Gentiles. Their diminishing brought riches to the world, but their fullness—which they have not yet attained—will bring an even greater measure, and it is coming.

Les teaches that if Israel's fall and diminishing brought the riches of the Gentiles, then the 'how much more' argument means their fullness will bring an even greater measure of riches. He emphasizes that Israel has never yet attained the fullness God has in store for them, but it is coming. He warns against selling the Jew down the river, noting Israel is being backed into a corner and frantically trying to make peace. He compares modern Israel to Israel at the time of Samuel, when they wanted to be like the surrounding nations and demanded a king; today Israel's government is frantically seeking acceptance by the Gentile world.
