Behold, they say, `Our\n             bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are\n             clean cut off.'\n        12   Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the\n             Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves and\n             raise you from your graves, O my people. And I\n             will bring you into the land of Israel.\n        13   And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open\n             your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my\n             people.\n        14   And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall\n             live, and I will place you in your own land. Then\n             you shall know that I am the LORD; I have spoken,\n             and I will do it, declares the LORD.  (ESV)\n\n        Ezekiel, a prophet who lived and worked while the children\n   of Israel were exiled in Babylon, received a vision of a valley\n   of dry bones.  God told him to proclaim the word of promise, the\n   word of life to the bones.  The bones came to life.  The\n   resurrected multitude was given the assurance of the restoration\n   of Israel.\n        Then he said to me, ``Son of man, these bones are the\n        whole house of Israel.  Behold, they say, `Our bones\n        are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut\n        off.'  Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says\n        the Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves and raise\n        you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you\n        into the land of Israel.  And you shall know that I am\n        the LORD, when I open your graves, and raise you from\n        your graves, O my people.  And I will put my Spirit\n        within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in\n        your own land. Then you shall know that I am the LORD;\n        I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.\n\n\n        This prophecy, this revelation that God can indeed raise the\n   dead, goes well beyond Israel's future.  Israel would indeed be\n   revived and receive the restoration of an earthly kingdom.\n\n        But a revived Israel is but the dry bones from which God\n   will call Spirit-filled people from all nations to Himself.\n   Those who are dead in the trespass of sin receive a new life in\n   Christ Jesus because of His death and resurrection.\n\n        Do you wish to learn more?
