HIGH FIVE!

Let’s delve into Ezekiel Chapter 37, which is a powerful and symbolic passage from the Bible. Here’s the essence of this chapter:

  1. The Valley of Dry Bones:
    • In Ezekiel 37, the prophet Ezekiel finds himself in a valley filled with dry bones.
    • These bones represent the desolation and hopelessness of the people of Israel who have been exiled and scattered.
  2. The Divine Encounter:
    • The hand of the Lord is upon Ezekiel, and he is led by the Spirit of the Lord to this valley.
    • The bones are very dry, signifying the severity of their condition.
  3. The Question and Prophetic Action:
    • God asks Ezekiel, “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel responds humbly, acknowledging that only God knows.
    • God instructs Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones, declaring that they will come to life.
  4. The Restoration:
    • As Ezekiel prophesies, a miraculous transformation occurs:
      • Tendons and flesh appear on the bones.
      • Skin covers them.
      • However, there is still no breath in them.
    • God then commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the breath (the Spirit) from the four winds to enter the slain, bringing them to life.
  5. The Symbolism:
    • The dry bones represent the spiritually dead state of Israel during their exile.
    • The restoration of the bones symbolizes God’s promise to revive His people, even when all seems lost.
    • The breath represents the Holy Spirit, breathing life into the nation.
  6. The Message to Israel:
    • God reveals that these bones represent the people of Israel who feel hopeless, cut off, and spiritually dead.
    • He promises to open their graves (symbolic of exile) and bring them back to the land of Israel.
    • The Spirit of God will dwell in them, and they will live anew.
  7. One Nation Under One King:
    • In a related section, God instructs Ezekiel to take two sticks—one representing Judah and the other Ephraim (Joseph’s tribe).
    • These divided sticks symbolize the divided kingdom of Israel.
    • God declares that He will reunite them into one nation under His rule.

In summary, Ezekiel 37 speaks of restoration, revival, and the power of God to bring life even to the most desolate situations. It’s a message of hope and renewal for all who feel spiritually dry or broken
