To my Jewish brothers, what does this verse mean to you?

What it is saying is that eventually the division between Israel and Judah that happened at the end of King Solomon's reign will be healed and Israel will be one nation again. It goes on further to say that David will be resurrected to rule over the new Kingdom:

Ezekiel 37:15-28 ESV The word of the LORD came to me: (16) "Son of man, take a stick and write on it, 'For Judah, and the people of Israel associated with him'; then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph (the stick of Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with him.' (17) And join them one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand. (18) And when your people say to you, 'Will you not tell us what you mean by these?' (19) say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am about to take the stick of Joseph (that is in the hand of Ephraim) and the tribes of Israel associated with him. And I will join with it the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, that they may be one in my hand. (20) When the sticks on which you write are in your hand before their eyes, (21) then say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. (22) And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. (23) They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. (24) "My servant David shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall walk in my rules and be careful to obey my statutes. (25) They shall dwell in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children's children shall dwell there forever, and David my servant shall be their prince forever. (26) I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore. (27) My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (28) Then the nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore."

Edit: Some nitwit does not understand that all Israelites are not Jews. The Jews were just ONE tribe of Israel, not the whole shebang. Some Jews were lost, yes, but the missing tribes are ISRAELITES, tribes that had rejected Jewish rule after the death of Solomon.

Well, firstly you need to read the verse in context and secondly you need to use a translation that is closer to the Hebrew. Jewish Publication Society gives: "Assuredly, my Lord will give you a sign of His own accord! Look, the young woman is with child and about to give birth to a son. Let her name him Immanuel." The context is a conversation between Isaiah and Ahaz. As you can read from the more accurate translation I've given, Isaiah is referring to a woman who is there, present, during the conversation. It's an argument about testing God. Isaiah goes on to say (verses 15-16) "By the time he learns to reject the bad and choose the good, people will be feeding on curds and honey. For before the lad knows to reject the bad and choose the good, the ground whose two kings you dread shall be abandoned." I think you have to have already decided that you're looking for a 'prophecy' of Jesus to somehow turn this into such a prophecy. It isn't there in the text. And it is decidedly not a virgin but a young woman. EDIT: Just a quick note to say that I did assume when you said 'brothers' you just forgot to add 'sisters'.

Hey, that's from this week's haftorah!!!

In Sefer Yechezkel the Almighty commands the prophet Yechezkel to perform a symbolical act, as it says: “And you, son of man, take one stick and write upon it: For Yehudah [Judah], and for the children of Israel his companions; then take another stick and write upon it: For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and of all the house of Israel his companions. And join them for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand” (Yechezkel 37, 16 – 17). The Almighty then continues, explaining with the following moral: “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them unto him together with the stick of Yehudah and make them one stick, and they shall be one in My hand” (Yechezkel 37, 19).

The kingdomof Israeland the kingdomof Yehudahhad been split since the days of Yeravam [Jeroboam], and the kingdoms had even fought one another more than once, until all hope of reaching unity and harmony was lost. However, regardless of the situation, the Almighty promises us that in spite of all the arguments and differences in opinions, harmony and unity within the People of Israel is eternal.

Another opinion is that it refers to Moshiach ben Yosef and Moshiach ben Dovid, who will reunite the Jews together when Moshiach comes.

I know you are somehow trying to reference this to as you will call him 'Yeshua' or 'yehoshua' or whatever, but I don't see how, and you cannot be a Jew and believe in Jesus. Period. You won't find ONE Jew who believes in Jesus and has proper knowledge of Judaism (i.e. who has been through the Yeshiva system).

It means--very simply--that all of the tribes which united with Ephraim to form a separate kingdom will be joined with Judah to constitute a single realm.

"I will make them into one piece of wood, and they will become one in My hand."

Ezekiel; 37:20 The pieces of wood upon which you will write shall be in your hand, before their eyes.

One tablet -- one nation

Ezekiel 37:21: Say to them, "Thus said the Lord: Behold, I am taking the Children of Israel from among the nations to which they have gone; I will gather them from all around and I will bring them to their soil; I will make them into one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel, and one king will be a king for them all; they will no longer be two nations, and they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms, ever again.

Obviously this is about the Northern Kingdom (Israel) vs. the Southern Kingdom (Judah). Remember that Ezekiel was a prophet during the Israelites' exile in Babylon when ALL was lost -- the land, the Temple -- EVERYTHING.

Sounds to me like your application of this verse to your own "interpretation" is a mere hand waving argument.

Xtians are not Ephraim and certainly not from Joseph (???).

The spiritual inheritance they embrace comes through Rome (Edom/Esav).

it means u shouldn't be asking this on their Sabbath, nitwit

Maybe it means the two kingdoms should have come together instead of apart. They didn't, many Jews were lost.

the VERY LAST thing it would EVER mean is that Jews should accept your pagan inspired beliefs as their own, causing them to break their covenant with their god.

Ez 37 speaks prophetically of a time that is very near.

It speaks of those who will be resurrected when Jesus (Yashua) - The Messiah - returns to commence the Kingdom of God over the whole Earth. These are the "firstfruits" that will be born first into God's family - Elohim.

Christ first came as God's Passover. He is soon to return as the King of Kings.

Though I am not a Jew, that is the wonderful revelation that is given.

It says you are Christian because you used a Christain based book to get this. Judaism uses Tanakh & with it has commentary on the side so you can form some sense of sage's views over the years before asking.

Also in Judaism a verse isn't studied out of context that way Christians such as yourself do.

Also the term "Jewish brothers" isn't used in Judaism. We see all people in the world as important. In our community family we don't use the term any more than I walk around saying "to my sister X" for my familal sister. Again, it's a Christian or Islamic phrase.
