MICHAEL FREUND: Ezekiel is commanded by God to take two sticks. On one, he is to write "For Judah," and on the other "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim." Then comes the crucial instruction: "Bring them together into one stick so that they become one in your hand" (37:17). Ezekiel's vision is not one of uniformity. The two sticks do not cease to be what they are. Judah remains Judah; Joseph remains Joseph. Unity does not erase difference – it sanctifies and elevates it by placing it within a larger shared destiny.

Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.

In an allusion of the sons of Jacob, the brethren will recognize and should thereby worship Jesus Son of Joseph.

Saul Jay Singer: The Zohar at Vol. 1, 72:2 teaches that an intensely bright and colorful rainbow will appear as a harbinger of the commencement of the long-awaited Messianic era.


DUSTIN HERRON: Next time you read the Parable of the Prodigal Son, try looking at it in a different light. Consider the two brothers and their relationship. The Southern Kingdom of Judah and Benjamin is like the firstborn, who never intended to abandon the father. But it is the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel who first went out and "sowed their wild oats," chose other gods and foreigners. Doesn't it sound like the younger son who committed many sins in a foreign land?

The 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel have been scattered and lost for a long time. Yeshua's death on the cross made a way also for the "lost sheep of the House of Israel" to be brought back into relationship with the Father.

God's desire is for Israel to return to His household, and for His other son to receive Israel with open arms.

Ezekiel 37:19 and Romans 11:17-24


David Treybig: Some have mistakenly assumed that because its founders chose the name Israel, this nation is now home for all of the descendants of ancient Israel. Several passages in the Bible make it clear that the modern nation of Israel does not represent all of the ancient Israelites.

Pete Rambo: Increasingly, there are those, both in Judaism and in the "Hebrew roots movement," that recognize those in Christendom coming to Torah as being "Ephraim" or the "lost sheep of the house of Israel."

Emil G. Hirsch, Frants Buhl: according to Judges iii. 27, the Benjamites also were dwellers in the Ephraim hill country.

Richard L. Wheeler: Those that believe in Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, "must choose" to covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They "must choose" to change their allegiance and citizenship to the Commonwealth of Israel; no longer a citizen of the nations. Therefore, by being grafted into the cultivated Olive Tree, which is Israel, we are "No Longer Gentiles" (of the Nations), and are now Israelites; at least according to the apostle Paul.

JACQUELINE SCHAALJE: Beit Shean is mentioned as belonging to the conquered area of the Israelite tribe of Manasseh

Stephen Epstein: Some went down the Mekong River into Vietnam, the Philippines, Siam, Thailand and Malaysia, while some of the Israelites moved to Burma and west to India.
