Valley of Dry Bones

Valley of Dry Bones

Among the fields of Babylon, the prophet Ezekiel was walking and praying to God. Suddenly, he was given a vivid vision of a dry valley filled with bones. And as he walked through this valley, God asked him, “Can these dry bones live?” God was making a point that even though His people looked dead on the inside, He would indeed give life to the spirit of Israel. He would bring Israel and Judah together once again and would appoint a savior to lead them.

Ezekiel 37:5
In our last episode, we heard about the remnant of Judah that remained in the land after the Babylonian conquest. Those who stayed had a difficult task – rebuilding their homeland that lay in ruins. Though they tried to remain faithful to God, evil conspired against those who sought to do the Lord’s will. In fear much of the remnant fled to Egypt rather than trust in God’s protection. Today we’ll meet a new prophet, a man named Ezekiel, who will receive an awesome vision from God that shows him God’s heart for His people and the power that only the God of Israel possesses to bring life even to dry bones.
