How to speak life to a valley of dry bones

Death and life lie in the power of the tongue. What that means is that our words actually have more power than we think they do.

In the light of all the cursing and blaming, how can we tame our tongue and use our words to bless instead of curse? The answer I found in a story in Ezekiel, where the prophet is shown by God a vision of dry bones coming to life with the power of words.

Our words are very much affected by what our physical eyes see. When you see a thief, what is the first word that comes out of your mouth about that person? Well, God sees people differently. When God saw the valley of dry bones, He didn't see bones.

Instead, He chose to see life. We can choose to either to speak of others according to what our physical eyes see...or we can speak of others according to what God sees.

Not only did God bring back the dry bones to life, He called Ezekiel into a vision to see it for himself.

Ha, I wasn't looking for this particular data. I only came upon it because the thread title reminded me of the Big Rock at the 37 Graves address, which is the place of first light (sol, sunrise) on CONUS rising from St. John's Valley from March 25 - September 18th.

And also that it's the place of First Wind, literally.

Eze 37
1. The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the wind of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley [= 182] which was full of bones:
2. And he led me around among them [= 656]; and, behold, there were very many in the open valley [=182]; and, behold, they were very dry:

There is much more in there in numeric values, but the focus is on those because of yesterday's posts.

"Around among" is actually saviv saviv - around [and] around:

From 55:

Round and round... so how does that work because shouldn't one circle complete eventually? Yet π goes on and on. How is anyone supposed to get anywhere?
Back to Jacob:
When r = 1, C = 2π
"pi" = 91 [פאי] = amen [אמן], a word that it used for the acknowledgement of truth
Jacob = 182 = 2 x 91 = 2 x "pi"
The name "transcendental" comes from the Latin transcendere 'to climb over or beyond, surmount'...

From 56:

Hey! How did you manage to rope me into this? ....it's not even Pi Day! (Daffynition)
But don't you remember? The Beatles wrote a song about it:
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door:
π

***

π looks a lot like the Hebrew letter chet [ח], the letter of chai, life. Chet = 8; Pi = 80

And he led me round and round = 656 = John Paul George Ringo [ג'ון פול ג'ורג 'רינגו ]

Remember what the Seekers knew? What Judith sang:

No, there's nothing that can stop you, nothing that can drag you down,
If you keep lookin' for that ever-open door.

So if you follow your dream to the end of the road,
Taking care not to let it fade away (not fade away),
If you follow your dream and you follow it well,
It will lead you to the promise of a bright, shiny day.

Well, imagine if Columbus had not dreamt the world was round,
And Armstrong had not walked upon the Moon,
If John and Paul never wrote a song for Yesterday,
If all of them had given up too soon...

Keep a Dream in Your Pocket:

A compass rose is the "rose of the winds" [שושנת הרוחות].

Notice that "N E S" (= miracle), i.e. the first 3 direction abbrevations clockwise, add up to 141. (90 + 47 + 4)

3.141...

The abbreviation for W = 110 = nes [נס].

Rose: shoshana [שושנה] = 661 = Esther, who was in Shushan [שושן] = 656

It's a long, long journey
So stay by my side
When I walk through the storm
You'll be my guide, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune
My pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you.

The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You
