This song and the story below are God repeating what He did for Israel in Ezekielโs time, right here in front of our eyes! ๐ America is todayโs Israel. ๐บ๐ธ Everywhere you read Israel, substitute America and it will all make sense!
Nothing is impossible for God! NOTHING! ๐๐ป๐ค๐ป
Question: "What is the meaning of the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel 37?"
Answer: Ezekielโs vision of the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37:1โ14) came to him after God had directed him to prophesy the rebirth of Israel in chapter 36. God announced, through the prophet, that Israel will be restored to her land in blessing under the leadership of โDavid, My servant [who] shall be king over themโ (Ezekiel 37:24), clearly a reference to the future under Jesus Christ the Messiah, descendant of David (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6โ7; Luke 1:31โ33). However, this promise seemed impossible in light of Israelโs present condition. She was โdeadโ as a nation, deprived of her land, her king, and her temple. She had been divided and dispersed for so long that unification and restoration seemed impossible. So God gave Ezekiel the vision of the dry bones as sign.
God transported Ezekielโprobably not literally, but in a visionโto a valley full of dry bones and directed him to speak to the bones. Ezekiel was to tell the bones that God would make breath enter the bones and they would come to life, just as in the creation of man when He breathed life into Adam (Genesis 2:7). Ezekiel obeyed, the bones came together, flesh developed, skin covered the flesh, breath entered the bodies, and they stood up in a vast army. This vision symbolized the whole house of Israel that was then in captivity. Like unburied skeletons, the people were in a state of living death, pining away with no end to their judgment in sight. They thought their hope was gone and they were cut off forever. The surviving Israelites felt their national hopes had been dashed and the nation had died in the flames of Babylonโs attack with no hope of resurrection.
The reviving of the dry bones signified Godโs plan for Israelโs future national restoration. The vision also, and most importantly, showed that Israelโs new life depended on Godโs power and not the circumstances of the people. Putting โbreathโ by Godโs Spirit into the bones showed that God would not only restore them physically but also spiritually. The Israelites residing in the Holy Land today are not the fulfillment of this prophecy. It will be fulfilled when God re-gathers believing Israelites to the land (Jeremiah 31:33; 33:14โ16) and Christ returns to establish His Millennial Kingdom (Matthew 24:30โ31).
