70 Years of Captivity Ezekiel is a Prophet during Judah’s Captivity

Ezekiel 1:1-3 1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Habor, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, 3 the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Habor ; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.

“ I was among the captives by the river Chebar” Babylonian Empire Nebuchadnezzar Chebar Jerusalem Iraq

Ezekiel 37:1-14 I. The Vision II. The Meaning III. The Applications

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Question Where do you fit in this Vision? This Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 The Vision Ezekiel 37:1-2 1 The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Jehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 And he caused me to pass by them round about : and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 The Vision Disjointed, Dry, Numerous, Good for nothing, Valley of Dry Bones

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37:3 (First Part) And he (God) said unto me, (Ezekiel) Son of man, can these bones live ? Note the Question?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37:3 (Last Part) “O Lord Jehovah, you know” Notice Ezekiel’s Faith By God they can Live

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37:4-6 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. 5 Thus said the Lord Jehovah 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 Jehovah.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 The Command was obeyed by the Prophet Notice the results

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Bones became skeletons Silence broken Bones being fit together

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Sinews – Tendons, muscular power Ezekiel 37:8 And I beheld, and, lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Clothed – But with NO life

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37: Then he said to me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus said the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 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.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Great Army These Dry Bones Have Become A Great Army

Ezekiel 37:1-14 We have seen the Vision The Valley of Dry Bones

Ezekiel 37:1-14 I. The Vision II. The Meaning

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37:11 (First Part) Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel : Any Question?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37:11 (Last Part) behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost ; we are clean cut off. Any Question?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 How can we understand this vision unless we understand where the children of Israel are? In Captivity Knowing Old Testament History is very Important

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Distrust, Rebellion, Idolatry had reduced Israel to a Valley of Dry Bones Sin has slain Israel – She is Dead Israel is in Captivity What about her future state?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Based on the condition Israel listens to God She will become what?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37:12 (First part) Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves,

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Israel will become a raised people

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37:12-13 (Second part) 12 and cause you to come up from your graves and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves,

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Israel will be restored to her land

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezekiel 37:14 And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it, says the Lord.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Israel shall glorify God Israel shall be a strong army God has shown Ezekiel through this vision the condition of Israel

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Israel was dead Israel was a Valley of Dry Bones Israel was Lost

Ezekiel 37:1-14 We have seen the Vision The Valley of Dry Bones We have seen the meaning Israel is Dead Now lets make some applications

Ezekiel 37:1-14 The Applications of the Vision First Application

Ezekiel 37:1-14 The resurrection of souls from death of sin to a life of righteousness

Ezekiel 37:1-14 John 5: Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ephesians 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ, by grace you have been saved;

Ezekiel 37:1-14 The Applications of the Vision Second Application

Ezekiel 37:1-14 The resurrection of a sleeping church John to these congregations

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Revelation 3:1-2 1 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, 'These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Sin – Luke warmness - Immorality Have reduced congregations to the Valley of Dry Bones

Ezekiel 37:1-14 But if they receive the warning they can become a mighty army

Ezekiel 37:1-14 John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life ; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 We can be a great influence to the world But where are our bones?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 The Applications of the Vision Third Application

The literal resurrection of the dead from the tombs A return to Jesus

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Is the world the Valley of Dry Bones ? The Vision is about God’s chosen people. NO

Ezekiel 37:1-14 When Jesus returns the Dead shall be awakened John 5: Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 We have seen the Vision The Valley of Dry Bones

Ezekiel 37:1-14 We are God’s chosen People? Just as Israel was God’s chosen people

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Valley of Dry Bones? Are we sleeping “congregations” reduced to the Valley of Dry Bones?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Valley of Dry Bones? Are we a sleeping “child” of God reduced to the Valley of Dry Bones?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 For sure we will be part of the Final Resurrection!!

Ezekiel 37:1-14 It’s our choice We must make the move!

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Valley of Dry Bones Don’t stay in the Valley of Dry Bones Don’t stay glued to the pew Don’t be like the children of Israel

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Arise and become a Mighty Army

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Do you heard the Words of Jesus Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 Arise from the Valley of Dry Bones
