Dry Bones

Ezek. 37:1 The hand of the L-rd was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the L-rd, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
[2] And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
[3] And He said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live?
And I answered, O L-rd G-D, Thou knowest.
[4] Again He said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them,
O ye dry bones, hear the word of the L-rd.
[5] Thus saith the L-rd G-D unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live:
[6] And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the L-RD.
[7] So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

"A prophecy in action is render more patently to believers, and the prophecy in the word.
Spiritually a believer may assume all the resemblance of spiritual life, yet have none,
and so be dead before Me.
Their bones are dried, their hope is lost, their national state is as hopeless of revival, as marrow less-bones are of rejoining, but I am the G-d of the impossible and can restore your hope.”
[8] And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
“Then I will cover you successively with sinews, skin, and flesh, that will give you beauty; but still you will have "no breath" of life in you.”
[9] Then said He unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the L-rd G-D; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
“For I am calling the dry bones to be gathered from the four quarters of the earth that were scattered by all the winds of doctrine, they are to get back to My Word and
when they come being only join together as unsightly skeletons.”
[10] So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
“The winds are My Spirit of life or breath of life; allow it to blow on you.
I speak resurrection to come forth!
For I, being the ever-living G-d, the G-d of not the dead, but living persons, that is, of those bodies of believers in My Word.
My love will bind you to rise again out of your graves - out of your politically dead state. And you will stand on your feet, joining an exceeding great army to be used mightily for My glory."
Thus saith the L-rd: O ye dry bones, hear the word of the L-rd!
