Ezekiel 37:1-14
The Valley of Dry Bones and Restoration of Gods people
In this chapter God gave Ezekiel the vision as a sign 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. 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. The reviving of the dry bones signified God’s plan for Israel’s future restoration. The vision also and most importantly, showed that Israel’s new life depended on God’s power and not the circumstances of the people. Putting “breath” by God’s Spirit into the bones showed that God would not only restore them physically but also spiritually.
God's Word always does what he intends: "So is my word that goes out from my mouth, It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it" (Isa 55:11). God's Word can bring light into darkness and life into dead places. People are encouraged to read and listen to the Word of God to live.
God is building an army to tell the world who he is and what he does
The overall lesson of this is a declaration of who God is and what he does. If God can tell Ezekiel prophesy to the dry bones and they become whole and with breath in their body imagine what God can do in your life , never doubt the power of God and always keep the faith . Happy fasting !!
