...and no it is not the old and new testament.
Ezekial 37:15-20
15 ¶ The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one astick, and bwrite upon it, For cJudah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and dwrite upon it, For eJoseph, the fstick 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 aone in thine hand.
18 ¶ And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us awhat thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of aJoseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 ¶ And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

the sticks whereon thou writest... gee, sounds like a book to me...
so the stick of Judah - would be the book written and handed down by the jews
and the stick of Judah would be a book written and handed down by a descendent of Joseph, so either the tribe of Ephraim or Manassah...
The anti-mormon's will give me a thumbs down [like eldbowers], but it seems rather obvious to me, this prophesy refers to the Bible and Book of Mormon [i've always found it interesting how the prophesy says stick of Joseph, not Manassah - and wonder if the ambiguity is because it was brought forth under both tribes?]

KJV version
Ezekiel 37:15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 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: 37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
This like most of the KJV, is about the horror, and chaos caused by the carnality of division.

MATTHEW 12:25. Every Kingdom divided against itself is bought to desolation; ....

The symbolic action of joining two sticks into one signifies the future union of Israel and Judah under one messianic King.

Reuniting the separated north and south tribes of the children of Jacob, so that they're not Judah and Israel separated anymore as two nations, but as one nation, the Jewish people.

Along with Isaiah 29 and Revelations 14, it is the prophesy about the Book of Mormon.
