Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 37:15-16

"The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying, And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:" — Ezekiel 37:15-16 (ASV)

The Word of the LORD came again to me, saying, Moreover, you son of man,

Notice how the Lord constantly calls the prophet "son of man."

When God uses his servants much, and greatly honours them, he always takes care to keep them humble by reminding them of what they are in themselves. So, Ezekiel, you have prophesied to the dry bones, and they have lived through your prophecy, but it was not by your own power that you did this. You are nothing but a son of man; God must have all the glory of this wondrous work.
