Ezekiel 37:15-20. prophecy for the Book of Mormon?

[jep2you]

In the Hebrew the word pronounced ‘ets’ means wood, tree or stick and was translated in the KJV Bible as ‘stick’ (e.g. Numbers 15:32, 1 Kings 17:10,)
In Hebrew the word pronounced ‘sepher’ means scroll or book and was translated as ‘scroll’ in Isaiah 34:4.

In verse 15 the LORD told Ezekiel precisely what to write on the two sticks, and it was not ‘the Bible’ and ‘the Book of Mormon.’ He was told to write,
“For Judah, and for the children of Israel, his companions’ then take another stick, and write upon it, for Joseph the stick of Ephriam, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.” That was it; nothing more was to be written upon the sticks.

In the next few verses, the Lord declared the two kingdoms of Israel would be brought together as one nation and with one King again. In fact, the entire chapter deals with the restoration of Israel to her own land. At this time in history, the two kingdoms were divided. God never wants His children against each other.

Besides, the Book of Mormon was written on “gold plates” and not sticks or scrolls. Obviously, the LDS interpretation does not fit the context of this passage.

The Mormon dogma was concocted by a renowned con artist. It is a classic American junk religion.

The bible also warns in (Rev 22.18) "for i testify unto every man, that hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If any man add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book".And in ( Galatians 1:6-9) "even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned".The BOM was made up to decieve millions of people and this is predicted in the bible.

Caiaphas prophesied that the Son died for the Jewish nation (Judah - we would recognise them as the Jews of today) and not only for that nation, but also for the scattered children of God to bring them together and make them one. John 51 & 52

The Son said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the House of ISRAEL." Matthew 15:24

‘And I will not hide my face from them anymore: for I shall have poured out my Spirit on the house of ISRAEL,’ says the Lord GOD.’ ( Ezekiel 39:29)

Acts 5:31-32 “Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to ISRAEL and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses to these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

Ezekiel 37:19 "say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD; "Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand." '

Isaiah 27:12 '... and you will be gathered one by one, O you children of ISRAEL...' It is specifically the Israelites who will be 'raptured', but not before the Tribulation.

Ephesians 2:12 'that at that time you were without the Messiah, being aliens from the Commonwealth of ISRAEL and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, [being] without God and in the world.'

There are natural Jews of the House of Judah and there are natural Israelites but there are also naturalised Israelites who have fulfilled this verse - “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants -- everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast My Covenant--”. (Isaiah 56:6)

Yeshua said, “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold [i.e. naturalised Israelites who were formerly Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. etc.] ; them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.” (John 10:16)

Note: The Biblical Israel is not geographical or political; it comprises of religious Israelites throughout the whole world, who worship only the LORD God, through His Holy Spirit, under the High Priest, Yeshua the Messiah, who keep the Covenant of the Ten Commandments, testify to the Law and the Testimony, observe the Sabbath and all Biblical festivals, etc. etc.

Everyone has the same chance and choice to be, or to become, an Israelite!
