When will Israel have the whole Middle East?

Israel will have the whole Middle East only when Christ returns and sets up His kingdom. That event is still future and will not be consummated until then. At that time, the promise will be fulfilled, and Israel will possess that entire region.

Les teaches that Israel's possession of the whole Middle East is still future and will not be consummated until Christ returns and sets up His kingdom. He contrasts this future fulfillment with the past pinnacle of greatness Israel reached under David and Solomon, when the Queen of Sheba declared the half had not been told of Solomon's glory. Yet Solomon's later downfall, with his pagan wives and altars, set the stage for the nation's decline, showing that the ultimate promise awaits Christ's return.
