Genesis 15:18 and Joshua 1:4 combined, and judging from a map of today’s boundaries, this includes:

... everything from the Nile in Egypt to Lebanon and
... everything from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River

In other words:

... all the land holdings of Israel today,
... plus all of the land the Palestinians hold in the West Bank & Gaza,
... plus some of Egypt and Syria,
... plus ALL of Jordan,
... plus some of Saudi Arabia & Iraq.

I don’t see a time in history that Israel possessed this entire territory. Beyond that is God’s statement that it would belong to Abram’s descendants “forever”.

Granting you, for the sake of discussion, a purely literal interpretation sans any allegory, how would you see this expansion coming about in purely contemporary, political terms?

I'm just curious, not looking for an argument.

Beyond that is God’s statement that it would belong to Abram’s descendants “forever”.

Actually ... it says both Abraham AND his descendants will possess it ...

Since Abraham never did ... just this fact ALONE means the fulfillment is still future.
