Israel would be partitioned by other nations

In Joel 3:2, the prophet said that the nations of the world will be judged for having scattered the people of Israel and for having "divided up" (or "parted" or "partitioned") the land of Israel. It will be fulfilled during the End Times. But portions of the prophecy already have been fulfilled. The Jews have been scattered to nations throughout the world, and the nations of the world have divided up the land of Israel. On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly approved a motion to partition the land into two separate states, one for Jewish people and another for Arab people. We have seen it again recently with Gaza strip parcelled off to the Palestinians.

Joel 3:2
I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.
(NOTE: "Jehoshaphat" means "the Lord judges.") How much more dividing up of the land? It is already so small. I know tha tthe Lord can have the smallest portion and stil come out on top... but really... How much more dividing will it take before God says enough?

In the flesh, I hope that Israel will stand firm on retaining the West Bank. Beyond the fact that this was also historical Israel, there are so many cities and monuments important to Jews and Christians alike! In the spirit, I know that G-d will protect what he wishes!

Do you think there will be a final scattering of Israel to again fulfill the prophecy? Maybe because they divided up the pie so small there was no more room for them.
