“Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.” Ezekiel 37:17

In the hand of the Prophet Ezekiel, the two sticks of Ezekiel 37:15-16, became one. The prophecies of the Bible are that the Jewish people would be regathered to the land of Israel and be one people. The northern kingdom of Israel would be joined with the southern kingdom Judah as seen on the map in the post on Ezekiel 37:15-16, which has happened within the State of Israel in 1948. Just like Ezekiel joined the two sticks together in his hand, the land of Israel became one territory.

Since the day God made the promise to Abraham to multiply his descendants [Genesis 22:17-18], He intended for the “stick” of Judah and the “stick” of Joseph [through Ephraim] to be adopted as the children of God. This refers to those who are born into the family of God through Jesus Christ being adopted into the house of Israel, “For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.” Romans 9:6-8

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
