JOEL 3:2 “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land.”
Israel’s land has been divided several times since becoming a nation again in 1948, but not in the final, permanent way described in Bible prophecy as in (Joel 3:2). I believe the final fulfillment of what Joel said will come in this last generation, the generation who will see Jesus return to Earth. Below are the major historical divisions and withdrawals, however did not see Jesus return yet. Knowing what Joel said I do believe Israel will be divided again.
Major Times Israel’s Land Has Been Divided Since 1948
1. 1947–1948: UN Partition PlanDate: November 29, 1947 (UN Resolution 181) What happened: The United Nations voted to divide the land into: A Jewish state An Arab stateJerusalem as an international zone Israel accepted the plan, but Arab nations rejected it. War broke out and borders changed.
2. 1949: Armistice Lines (“Green Line”) After Israel won the War of Independence (1948–1949), armistice agreements with Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria created new ceasefire lines. These lines divided: West Bank under Jordan Gaza Strip under Egypt These lines became known as the 1967 borders often referred to in modern peace talks.
3. In 1967 a Six-Day War broke out between Israel and many Arab nations. Because of the war the Land of Israel was reunited again. Israel captured the following: East Jerusalem, West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and the Sinai Peninsula. This was unification, not division, but would later lead to withdrawals which would again divide up Israel.
4. 1978–1982: Camp David Peace – Sinai Given to Egypt. Agreement: Camp David Accords (1978) Israel withdrew from the entire Sinai Peninsula in 1982. This was a major land division, returning a huge territory to Egypt.
5. 1993–1995: Oslo Accords – West Bank DividedOslo I (1993) and Oslo II (1995) divided the West Bank into: Area A: Full Palestinian control, Area B: Palestinian civil control, Israeli security, Area C: Israeli control. This is one of the most significant modern divisions of the land.
6. 2005: Gaza Disengagement: Israel unilaterally withdrew all military and civilians from the Gaza Strip. Gaza came under Palestinian control (now Hamas). Another major division of the land.
Biblical Prophecy Connection
Many prophecy teachers point to these divisions as partial fulfillments leading toward the final end-times division as I showed you in Joel 3:2 – “They have divided up my land.” Daniel 9:27 – the coming 7-year covenant with “many.” Zechariah 12–14 – Jerusalem burdening the nations. The final prophetic division has not yet happened, but steps toward it—peace agreements and land negotiations—are clearly increasing. At the current time there is much take about peace with Israel by once again dividing up Israel.
Two-State “Vision for Peace” (former Trump Administration) Here are some examples. In his 2020 “Vision for Peace,” Trump proposed a two-state solution that would expand Palestinian territory. Trump White House Archives. That plan offered Palestinians land “reasonably comparable” in size to the West Bank and Gaza. Trump White House Archives. It also provided for Palestinian development in places like a resort area on the north shore of the Dead Sea, and transportation links. Trump White House Archives. Crucially, his plan envisioned land-swaps: some land currently inside Israel could be given for a future Palestinian state. JNS.org+1.
Just a few day ago President Trump meet with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman to discuss a host of topics, one that included a two state solution for the Palestinians. Mohammed bin Salman said he would join the Abraham Accords if the Palestinians were given their own state inside Israel.
What the News Actually Reports: Clear Path to a Two-State Solution. MBS = Mohammed bin Salman.
According to Reuters (via Dawn) in a press conference with Trump, MBS said Saudi Arabia wants to normalize with Israel only if there is a “clear path” to Palestinian statehood. Dawn He emphasized the two-state solution as key for normalization. pakistantv.com.

From L’Express: MBS is pushing for a Palestinian state, but Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu strongly opposes it. L’Express. The Washington Post reports that Trump is trying to encourage MBS toward normalization with Israel — but normalization will come only after a “clear path” to a Palestinian state, according to MBS. The Washington Post. Deal & Investments: MBS pledged large investments into the U.S. and discussed defense deals, but this is tied to his condition on Palestinian statehood. China Daily Asia. Trump and MBS also discussed Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords — but MBS’s stance seems to hinge on progress for the Palestinians. Dawn+1
In closing it is clear that Israel’s troubles are not over yet. Jesus will return at a time when as Zechariah said, all the nations will come against Israel. Israel as of November 20, 2025 is still divided. Not all of the West Bank is under full Israeli legal sovereignty, but Israel has strong control, especially in Area C. Also, Gaza is increasingly fragmented, with new security corridors and demarcation lines being established by Israel.
I wish you would have listened to my warnings over the years to get ready!
I will keep my final letter up on the net until the net goes down. After the rapture there is a good chance the internet will not work or, the Antichrist will control it and keep any message about Jesus Christ off the net. Things you will need to know are in this final letter.
