CHAPTER 37
1 The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign LORD, you alone know.”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.’”

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art: this is The Bible in Paintings, not "Great Paintings" nor even "Good Paintings." Indeed, occasionally photographs illustrate the text. So, works need not be masterpieces to qualify for inclusion here—they don't need to be housed at the Louvre nor auctioned by Sotheby's. They only need to illustrate successfully some aspect of the Biblical text or, frankly, just tickle my fancy, which I'm always asking the Holy Spirit to guide.
A r t
Q u a l i t yOften, artists misrepresent the Scripture, but unless the error is material, licentious or heretical I usually include the artwork, trusting that the Spirit is perfectly capable of defending Himself. So, with such forgiving filters, it means that you're seeing practically everything I'm finding.
The Protestant Canon does not (for several reasons) follow a strictly chronological sequence. There are many examples where, for God's good purposes, stories are told out-of-order. Nevertheless, for the sake of simplicity, clarity, and my sanity, I have chosen to proceed linearly and methodically from Genesis onward, illustrating each Bible passage as we come to it. Where two passages cover the same incident I omit the second telling, excepting the four Gospels which I will treat synoptically. Now, onward!
T e x t
S e q u e n c i n gThe pace here may seem appallingly snail-like to those eager to see their favorite events illustrated. My commission is to search for art on each Bible passage in sequence: if I find enough, then it becomes the next installment, even if undramatic (but where there is little or no art, that Bible passage goes untold here).
P a c i n g Then, there is the human element: this is not actually a daily series, because I can only research, compose, edit and post five or six of these installments weekly. And because I only get to do this series once, I'm taking my time, chiefly by posting everything; if I find lots of art, I don't cherry-pick some and discard the rest. Rather, I line up all of them and then sort them into manageable bunches, often resulting in multiple days' episodes of the same story. Obviously, I like being thorough. Were you in a big hurry?
The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing—this is His project, after all. And always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!. .
Art is merely the Toy Department of Bible study,
so I'm just having fun here—I hope you are, too!
Thank you for your understanding.Hebrews 11:6

Dem bones, dem bones, dem DRY BONES!...................
Thank you.
Was unaware of him.
I’ve been looking at his ‘toons for years.
They often hit the mark, but are, of course, from an Israeli perspective, so not always in line with my own beliefs.
# 7 is very beautiful. In our lifetime we have been witness to the fulfillment of a biblical prophesy, the resurrection of a Nation in its ancestral land.
I was conceived on or about August 1, 1948, which IIRC was a couple of months after modern Israel's formation. That was certainly colossal!
Everything before 16...
I agree, but I’d add 20 & 31.
tree: etz [עץ]
trees: etzim: [עצים]
bone: etzem [עצם]
bones: atzamot [עצמות]
... the common meaning relating to framework, structure, essence, constitution, ..
"Bones" -- the essential framework of a plot [e.g. of a book].
4. And he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord:
5. Thus says the Lord God to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live:
Hmmm, Etsy... "etz" crafts from wood/sticks/trees:
18. And when your people shall speak to you, saying; Will you not tell us what you mean by these:
19. Say to them, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will put them with him, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand:
20. And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes:
DEM Bones. Dem for "them", dem for people.
Everyone knows who's responsible for teaching the dead how to vote. If the "harvesters" knew what they were doing, they wouldn't do that.
"Dem Bones" (also called "Dry Bones" and "Dem Dry Bones") is a spiritual song. The melody was composed by author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson (18711938) and his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson.[1] First recorded by The Famous Myers Jubilee Singers in 1928. Both a long and a shortened version of the song are widely known. The lyrics are inspired by Ezekiel 37:114, where the prophet Ezekiel visits the "Valley of Dry Bones"[2] and prophesies that they will one day be resurrected at God's command, picturing the realization of the New Jerusalem.

John 12
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
Puns:
1 Corinthians 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
"Men as trees, walking:"
Exo 3
16. Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
17. And I have said, I will bring you out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey:
Gen 50
24. And Joseph said to his brothers, I die; and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob:
25. And Joseph took an oath from the people of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here:
26. So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt:
Mark 12
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bUSh God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

My first question is, how did you achieve such profound mastery of Hebrew?
More like the way up up and away is paved with puns. Levi-ty. Simple meanings. The Levites were put in charge of the services! It all "connects".
"Pun"iel is where Israel was born (named).

Exodus 3
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bUSh, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
moshi moshi:
>>>
It is actually a contraction/doubling of the word 申す mousu, which is the humble form of 言う iu – “say”.
So moshi moshi is really a polite, humble way of saying speaking, speaking or I say, I say.
Moshi moshi is not only used on the telephone. It can also be used to call someones attention in person. Kind of like saying Is anyone home? when someone doesnt seem to be listening.

It goes on. Secret Asian man... Tora! Tora! Tora!, waking a sleeping giant..
The point is that everything is linked in microscopic detail in the weirdest ways, yet people tend to act like or assume that God is sound asleep at the switch.
I catch what I can.
Like you, I glory in seeing those connections. My best friend, with whom I've met weekly for Christian accountability for twenty-five years, has unshakable faith but blinders to God's subtlety. What a contrast.
One aspect of heaven I anticipate eagerly is the unveiling of God's fullness: now we see in a mirror darkly....
It's like the sign in front of Lyon Estates:
"Live in the Home of Tomorrow -- Today!"
Egypt aka "house of bondage" is also a mindset metaphor, and
Moshi moshi is not only used on the telephone.
Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of (from) Egypt.

"His main asset is his practical application of scientific knowledge and inventive use of common items. The clever solutions MacGyver implemented to seemingly unsolvable problems—often in life-or-death situations requiring him to improvise complex devices in a matter of minutes—were a major attraction of the show..." (Wiki)
The clever solutions MacGyver...
God is the ultimate MacGyver.
One of my favorite prophecies in the Bible. It gives so much hope to the billions of dead.
I like the exegesis about why Joseph didn’t contact his father. I had wondered why he didn’t send a letter or a messenger.
A court of intrigue is a perfect explanation.
