As we have been traveling through the grand prophecy of Ezekiel on Sunday mornings, we have encountered a wonderful and surprising truth.  We have realized that this old book, written to a people long ago in a place far away, is also about us!  With our own eyes (and ears!), we have witnessed the reality that Paul would later explain to Timothy:

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16).

In Ezekiel 37, we have come upon a passage that describes nothing short of a divine miracle! That mighty wonder is the spiritual resurrection of a people who had self-destructed by means of their rejection of God’s Word, and the stubborn and persistent disobedience that followed. The Old Covenant people, under the influence of the intoxicating lure of the worldly cultures around them, were in need of nothing less than a resurrection from the dead!

Ezekiel 37:10-14 shows us how that great miracle happened as Ezekiel envisioned it under the guidance and influence of the Holy Spirit.  While I don’t want to give too much away here, let me just say that there was a combination of ‘elements’ that resulted in the release of a power far exceeding anything on earth, both back then and right now!

As we come before our Lord this Sunday, we will investigate this grand miracle and probe its most wonderful application to us today.
