David's Fallen Tents

"David's fallen tents" didn't mean the stone Temple, I don't think.
It meant the tribe of Judah was in captivity and were not living in their land. But God promised to restore them. 

He did restore them from captivity. And Gentiles did begin seeking the Lord at that time too.

And the fullest restoration of David's descendants came through God raising up the son of David, Messiah, unto them, and for all Israel. As Saviour and coming King.

All of that became a historical reality, in Israel, for Israelis, through David's line. And Gentiles got saved next too, as written.

So my point is: Bible Prophecy concerning Israel hasn't been delayed, nor must Israel's identity, nor the Temple's identity, nor the identity of David's tents be changed in order to say that there's been a fulfilment. 

Rather, prophecy concerning Israel, and concerning the Temple, and concerning David's line was fulfilled on location, on the ground, in Israel, on time, for Israelis first, exactly as predicted - then afterwards Gentiles also got saved, also in fulfilment of prophecies (prophecies about Gentiles) - and it was through this physical historical chronology that prophecy was fulfilled and the Church was birthed.

That's one way we know Jesus is Messiah: history confirmed Scriptural prophecy, without postponement and without altering identities in the prophecies.
