Ancient Israel, under Joshua did occupy all the area given to Abraham, but they never totally conquered it. They made treaties and compromises with the original peoples and as we see later, they were harassed by them, also took on some of their false worship. See Judges 1:19, 27, 29-35.Joshua 21
43 And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
So we still await the final time that a people who 'bear the proper fruit', will live in all the Land from the Nile to the Euphrates. It will be every true Christian from every tribe, nation, and language, who will go to live there after the Day of the Lord has removed all the ungodly peoples.
Psalms 69:22-36 Our enemies cannot see the punishment coming upon them. Let Your burning anger overtake them, let their towns and houses be deserted. Take heart, you seekers after the Lord, for He will deliver Zion and restore the Land. His people will settle there and possess the holy Land. The children of those who serve Him will inherit it and those who love Him will live there.
