Ezekiel Joins the Sticks of Judah and Joseph

Ezekiel stands holding two inscribed sticks, one marked Judah and the other Joseph, bringing them together in his hands as a prophetic sign before Israel. The scene portrays the acted oracle from Ezekiel 37:15-28, where the Lord commands the prophet to join the divided houses of Israel into one stick, declaring that the scattered people will be gathered, cleansed, and made one nation under one shepherd. The joined wood becomes a visible sermon of covenant restoration: Judah and Joseph, once symbols of separation and divided kingdoms, are united by God’s sovereign hand. This artwork is well suited for teaching on reconciliation, the restoration of Israel, covenant peace, prophetic ministry, and the faithfulness of God to gather His people.
