Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

37:15-28 This emblem was to show the people, that the Lord would unite Judah and Israel. Christ is the true David, Israel's King of old; and those whom he makes willing in the day of his power, he makes to walk in his judgments, and to keep his statutes. Events yet to come will further explain this prophecy. Nothing has more hindered the success of the gospel than divisions. Let us study to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; let us seek for Divine grace to keep us from detestable things; and let us pray that all nations may be obedient and happy subjects of the Son of David, that the Lord may be our God, and we may be his people for evermore.


Ezekiel 37:18 "When the sons of your people speak to you saying, 'Will you not declare to us what you mean by these?'
Ezekiel 37:20 "The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes. (NASB ©1995)
