I keep reading your post over and over. I am not clear what you mean about the Holy Land.

Basicly it is this..
God gave Abraham the land from the Wadi-El-Arish (River of Egypt) in the south.
Then the SE border was Edom.
To the East it was the Jordan River.
In the north, the area to the Euphrates River.
It was just this slice along the Medetrranian.
Modern "prophecy teachers" give Israel a bigger slice.
From the Nile straight East to the Euphrates.
And in the North, from the sea to the Euphrates.
This would give their version of Israel all of Jordan, Syria, Iraq and parts of Arabia.
Larkin's dispensational books show it from the Wadi-El-Arish straight East to the Euphrates, again an error.
The limits of Israel are clearly defined several times in Scripture. It should be noted that two tribes decided to take their portion East of the Jordan after they destroyed the kings in that area. This is the ONLY part that is outside the Holy Land.
Look at it this way. If Moses was to lead the people into the Holy Land, according to some maps they were already there East of the Nile. In Sinai they were already there. Moses was forbidden to enter the Holy Land but he was allowed to look into it. if that area east of the Jordan River is the Holy Land then he was already there.
Deu 34:1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that [is] over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
Deu 34:2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
Deu 34:3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
Deu 34:4 And the LORD said unto him, This [is] the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see [it] with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
Deu 34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
Deu 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
MOSES WAS NOT IN THE HOLY LAND as modern prophecy maps show.
Check out JOSHUA, CHAPTERs 13-21 for the distribution and limits of the land.
