"The Valley Of Dry Bones"

Ezekiel 37:1-3 says, "The hand of The Lord was upon me and He brought me out by the Spirit Of The Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' I said, 'O Sovereign Lord, you alone know.'" The beginning part of Ezekiel 37 is a prophetic vision given by God to Ezekiel. He sees a valley of many very dry bones. The purest interpretation of this vision  illustrates a spiritually dead Chosen People Of God scattered around the world.

Notice what Ezekiel 37:5 says, "This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones; I will make breath enter you and you will come to life." Jehovah God says He will bring His people back to life and He will do it so all peoples will know He is Lord!

Let us analyze this vision further. Occasionally, Pastors apply this vision to their churches when they are praying for a Spiritual Revival. This is not a false interpretation but we should notice this vision was first about "The Whole House Of Israel" which also shows their hope is gone and they are cut off.

Remember the Jewish people are scattered all over the world. Certainly there was a time when they felt abandoned by God and had lost hope. However, God did not forget about His people. Ezekiel 37:12,14 shows how He responded, "I will bring you back to the land of Israel . . . I will put my Spirit in you and you will live." He will bring His Covenant People back to Israel and He will put His Spirit within them.

Has this vision been completed? Yes, but not totally. Jewish people are moving back to Israel! Today in Israel there are more Jewish people than any where else in the world. However, many more need to return. There are parts of the world where anti-Semitism is so strong God's people feel threatened. 

Additionally, when Jehovah God says He will put His Spirit within His people it means they will receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Hallelujah! This also is happening but needs to accelerate. We know that the number of Messianic Congregations throughout the world increases each year especially in Israel. This is a key indicator that Jews are being saved. Jehovah God does what He says He will do! Praise The Lord!
