I didn't know Ezekiel was even in your Bible!

Please explain how these verses refer to “the church.”

Ezekiel 37:

[16] Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
[17] And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

this refers to John 10, where all Israel will be gathered into one flock, so there is now one shepherd ( Jesus ) and one flock ( Israel )

For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:

That must be the papists and the EOs and companion, the Prots. Why not? Anything is possible with unhinged allegorical prophecy.
