Ezekiel 35 – 37
Ezekiel gets a message from the Lord concerning Edom, a message of destruction telling them they would be wiped out. Hethen goes on to repeat what he had said before, that Israel would be restored. The Lord would show how holy his great name is. He would gather Israel from the nations to which they had been exiled and bring them home again to the land. He would sprinkle clean water on them and they would be clean.
In this passage, we also see Ezekiel’s vision of the valley filled with bones, completely dried up bones. The Lord tells Ezekiel to speak a prophetic message to the bones, that the Lord will be putting breath into them and make them live again. The bones rattle together and become covered with muscles and flesh and skin, but still with no breath in them.
The Lord encourages Ezekiel to tell the breath to come from the four winds and breath into the dead bodies so they may live again. He also predicted the reunion of Israel and Judah. He stated that he would make a convent of peace with them, give them their land and increase numbers. He would put his Temple among them forever. He would make his home among them, He would be their God and they would be his people. Finally, the nations would know that he was the Lord, who makes Israel holy.
Tomorrow, we’ll be reading Ezekiel 38 – 39.
The Cold Light of Day
Today, I went to see The Cold Light of Day at AMC Theaters in Brandon. It’s a great movie. Bruce Willis is in it and Sigourney Weaver. It’s a great movie wiht plot twists you won’t believe and lots of car chases.
Until next time…
