EZEKIEL'S VISION
OF DRY BONES

E Z E K I E L
CHAPTER 37

The hand of the LORD was upon 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. 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. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I said, “O Sovereign LORD, you alone know.”

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. 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.’ ”

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. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

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 from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ ” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O 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. Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 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.’ ”

“Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

“ ‘My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees. They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.’ ”

The Bible In Paintings: EZEKIEL'S VISION OF DRY BONES

Posted on 8/9/2022, 5:47:43 AM by Hebrews 11:6

A Sol is 39 minutes and ~35 seconds longer than an Earth day.

Interesting timing for the doubling of that particular message (verses 9-11),

"because the Son of David begins with Mars ♂️"

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

EZEKIEL'S VISION OF DRY BONES:

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins:

[Hebrews 11:6]

So glad you posted on Ezekiel's thread. I suppose I should have pinged you.

Thanks for noticing and then alerting us to the co-incidence of your post just prior to this. For the observant, God keeps them even more on their toes, so that he who has will have more.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Now that’s an oldie.

[null and void]

Zombie Israel.

sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry

That being said, the skeletal hands putting the skull on in #32 is a nice touch.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Extremely interesting testimonials populate the comments below that video.

"Friday's disappointment is Sunday's empty tomb."

[Hebrews 11:6]

the skeletal hands putting the skull on

Self-regeneration is not a thing.

[null and void]

Not?

The text says:

This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones:
I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
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.’ ”

Note each of these actions is preceded with "I will", an active intervention.

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.

"came together", a passive event.

Your mileage may vary.

I knew that song as a child, but had no idea what it was about...until I read the Bible as a young adult.

[Ezekiel]

Besides, it's not just any Messiah. This one's the Kinnor Messiah, kept alone and isolated under glass at Elias' place.

Only the names have changed.

It's nice to keep with the original wood because "museum" derives from Muses, the root of music.

Stradivarius -- 5 stars! The best of the best.

The gist of Queen Esther's appeal:

*This* is an emergency.

So is this where those Capuchin guys got the idea to decorate with walls of bones and skulls...?
Saw the bones (/) in Rome years ago, in a couple of places actually... never got it.

Crazy Catholics...lol

[Robert A Cook PE]

The same Words were read by all, but each painted a different vision.

[Hebrews 11:6]

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2

[Hebrews 11:6]

Comes the dawn........

[Hebrews 11:6]

Dunno. If you find out, please inform us.

[spankalib]

That is a real photo? Unreal! If I saw that coming at me...wow!

I saw a "roll cloud" once...it came right over me and stirred everything up rather violently - I ran into the house!

I like the way the majority depicted the wind. I count at least 16 of the selections featured the wind. Especially #3 & #26...showing 4, for the cardinal compass points.

I like #30...it shows good anatomy, and you really get a sense of thew bones & sinews "knitting".

[Hebrews 11:6]

John, I always enjoy your careful analysis.

[spankalib]

Thank you!

I think the thing that impresses me more and more, is that there would be no beauty - or, a lot less beauty, if it weren't for God's inspiration.

By "God" I mean the God of the Bible.

There's so much beauty in these threads that you post! I imagine standing in front of these paintings/works with you & many others on these threads & just admiring, learning, and appreciating it all together...

As TS Eliot said; "It's impossible to say what I mean!"

(& that common failing never stopped a single poet from trying to describe "it all" anyway!)

[Hebrews 11:6]

there would be no beauty - or, a lot less beauty, if it weren't for God's inspiration.

Thought you had it right initially: "no beauty".
