Israel's calling and election was to be the custodians of the promises which would be for all nations. The Law was also given to them as an interim thing.
By the time the Promise came, God had faithfully fulfilled many of His promises literally, on time, on location, in Israel. The stage was set.
Then the Promise came. Jews were the first to experience it, and then the Gentiles. All came to pass.
Therefore there's no need to spiritualise the prophecies, to make them refer to something else, someone else, somewhere else.
Nor is there any need for a future, literal, fulfilment in Israel.
Every promise came to pass appropriately and precisely.
The promise, which was for all, and which was given before the Law, could then be experienced by all nations.
Since Bible-Promises and Prophecies have been fulfilled, all anyone need do now is hear it, desire it, ask for it, believe he receives it, say it - and he shall have it.
