Ezekiel 37:1-14
1 By the resurrection of dry bones,11 the dead hope of Israel is revived.15 By the uniting of two sticks,18 is shewn the incorporation of Israel into Judah.21 The promises of Christ's kingdom. hand.In this vision, the dry bones aptly represent the ruined and desperate state of both Israel and Judah; and the revivification of these bones signifies their restoration to their own land after their captivity, and also their recovery from their present long dispersion. Although this is the primary and genuine scope of the vision, yet the doctrine of a general resurrection of the dead may justly be inferred from it; for "a simile of the resurrection," says Jerome, after Tertullian and others, "would never have been used to signify the restoration of the people of Israel, unless such a future resurrection had been believed and known; because no one attempts to confirm uncertain things by things which have no existence." 1:3; 3:14,22; 33:22; 40:1; Re 1:10carried.8:3; 11:24; 1Ki 18:12; 2Ki 2:16; Lu 4:1; Ac 8:39 valley. or, champaign.De 11:30they were.11; Ps 141:7 can.Joh 6:5,6O Lord God.De 32:29; 1Sa 2:6; Joh 5:21; 11:25,26; Ac 26:8; Ro 4:17; 2Co 1:9,10Heb 11:19 Prophesy.11,15,16; Nu 20:8; 1Ki 13:2; Mt 21:21; Joh 2:5O ye.36:1; Isa 26:19; 42:18; Jer 22:29; Mic 6:2; Joh 5:25,28,29 I will.9,10,14; Ge 2:7; Ps 104:29,30; Joh 20:22; Ro 8:2; Eph 2:5 I will.8-10ye shall.14; 6:7,13; 7:4,9; 11:10,12; 20:38; 28:22-26; 32:15; 34:2735:9,12,15; 38:23; 39:6,22,28; De 29:6; 1Ki 20:28; Isa 49:23Joe 2:27; 3:17 I prophesied as.Jer 13:5-7; 26:8; Ac 4:19; 5:20-29there.1Ki 19:11-13; Ac 2:2,37; 16:26-29 8 wind. or, breath.

In the land of their captivity, they seemed as absolutely deprived of their country as persons committed to the grave are cut off from the land of the living; but when Cyrus issued his proclamation, Jehovah, as it were, opened their graves, and when he stirred up their spirits to embrace the proffered liberty, he put his Spirit within them, that they might live; and their re-establishment in their own land evinced the truth of God in the prediction, and his power in its accomplishment. 21; Isa 26:19; 66:14; Ho 6:2; 13:14; 1Th 4:16; Re 20:13and bring.25; 28:25; 36:24; Ezr 1:1-2:70; Am 9:14,15 6; 16:62; Ps 126:2,3 shall put.9; 11:19; 36:27; 39:29; Isa 32:15; Joe 2:28,29; Zec 12:10Ac 2:16,17; Ro 8:2,11; 1Co 15:45; Tit 3:5,6I the Lord.17:24; 22:14; 36:36Romans 4:17-25
