"eschatological speculation."

What Ezekiel writes about the reunion of Judah and Israel has to be seen in the context of what had happened to the divided kingdoms earlier in history.

Israel was carried off into captivity by the Assyrians in about 724 BC, only to be taken captive by Babylon later (not going to go into detail on this because I'm too tired right now.)

In 587 BC, Jerusalem was destroyed and Judah was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar. (This event was prophesied by both Ezekiel and Jeremiah). The reunion of the whole house of Israel from the valley of the dry bones, seen in Ezekiel 37, is fulfilled by the acts of Cyrus of Persia, when he allowed Israel (all the captives he inherited from Babylon, including Judah), to return to their land and rebuild their homes, their city (Jerusalem) and its Temple.

Here is that fulfillment:

Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying: "Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. ~'Whoever there is among you of all His people, may his God be with him! Let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah and rebuild the house of the LORD, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem. ~'Every survivor, at whatever place he may live, let the men of that place support him with silver and gold, with goods and cattle, together with a freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.'" Ezra 1:1-4 (NASB)

The two sticks of Ezekiel 37: fulfilled prophecy.

It is ridiculously exciting to see that somebody else gets this!:thumbsup
 
Some people understand only what they see with their eyes and some people understand spiritual matters from the approach of similarities deployed to 'picture' the unseen.

The latter approach is decried by the former and vice versa.

The anti-Christ spirit is that. A spirit. Everyone who thinks they can 'see' such spirits are bound to derail in understandings.

Anyone looking on the outside of the cup is a poser in eschatology.

Luke 17:20
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Prophesy fulfilled. So this is wrong and should be removed?

Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. (Acts 3:24 KJV)

This is in reference to Messianic prophecy, from Moses, to Samuel on up.

Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

Acts 3:23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

All that is about Jesus. He came and all those not saved through Jesus will be destroyed. Jesus alludes that much in the Gospel accounts.

Yea through the sco fields cometh the macgees and through the walvoord cometh ice which bringth the chafer. In that day the linds shall see and the bakker shall behold the lark and his kin. Behold the tal bots shall rise and the gabel lien, the hayers lay and the misslers mizzle. A dwight will sell for a penny and and a pennting for a gil, there the hagg shall fall well short. The barnhouse and the ironside will leave the darby behind but My servant the pink mauro shall prevail.
