Ezekiel's prophecy now stands fulfilled. With the passing of years, these scriptures will produce a successive generation of faithful Christians who know the Lord Jesus Christ and are disposed to obey His will. Into their hands now are placed the sticks of Judah and of Ephraim. They will develop a gospel scholarship beyond that which their forebears could achieve, and they will have testimonies that Jesus is the Christ and be confident to proclaim Him and to defend Him.
