Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 37:17

"and join them for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand." — Ezekiel 37:17 (ASV)

As he held them in his hand, they were to grow into one; and when all the churches get into the hand of Christ, there will be perfect unity between them. Things that are near to the same thing are near to one another; but until the Lord comes, and takes his divided Judah and Ephraim into his own hand, there will be no true unity between them; but there will be then.
