When will Israel possess the whole Middle East?
Israel will possess the whole Middle East only when Christ returns and sets up His kingdom. That future event has not yet been consummated. Until then, it remains in Israel’s future. The past glory under David and Solomon was a pinnacle but not the final fulfillment.
Les explains that the promise of Israel possessing the whole Middle East is still future and will not be consummated until Christ returns and sets up His kingdom. At that time, Israel will have that entire region. He notes that under David and Solomon, Israel did reach a pinnacle of greatness, but that was not the final fulfillment. The Queen of Sheba testified that the half had not been told of Solomon's glory, yet his later fall with pagan wives set the stage for decline.
