2 Kings 6:6 (c) This may be taken to represent the Cross by which we recover that which was lost, either through sin, neglect, carelessness or indifference. When Calvary comes into the life, we recover those blessed graces and gifts that make us useful to others.

Ezekiel 37:16 (a) These dead sticks represent Judah and Israel who were fruitless, dead, helpless and separated. In the hand of the Lord, they become united and alive. This is being fulfilled at the present time, for the present nation of Israel is one united people, not separated into tribes.
