Ezek. 37:1 The hand
of the LORD
[1] was upon me, and
[2] carried me out in the spirit
of the LORD, and
[3] set me down in the midst of
the valley
[a.] which
[was] full of bones,
37:2 And [11.] caused me to pass by them round about: and,
[12.] behold, [there were] very many in the open valley; and,
[13.] lo, [they were] very dry [they had no spiritual life or
relationship with God].
37:3 And
[1] he [the Spirit of the Lord] said unto me,
[a.] Son of
man,
[11.] can these bones live? And
[2] I answered,
[a.] O Lord
GOD, thou knowest.
[1] Prophesy upon these bones,
and
[a.] say unto
them,
[11.] O ye dry bones,
[aa.]
hear the word of the LORD.
37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold,
[1] I will cause breath to enter
into you, and
[2] ye shall live [your spiritual life and relationship with
Me shall be restored…by the events of
Chapter 38 and
Chapter 39]:
37:6 And I will
[3] lay sinews upon you, and will
[4] bring up flesh upon you, and
[5] cover you with skin, and
[6] put breath in you, and
[a.] ye shall
live; and
[b.] ye shall know that
[11.]
I [am] the
LORD.
All Israel shall be re-gathered from the four corners of the earth
37:7 So
[1] I prophesied as I was commanded [God cannot work His
will on earth without the obedience of His servants the prophets to
speak His will into the earth realm]: and
[2] as I prophesied [as
the prophet spoke the Spirit of God
began to move], there was
[a.] a
noise, and behold
[b.] a
shaking, and
[11.] the bones came together,
[aa.]
bone to his bone.
37:8 And when I beheld,
lo,
[1] the sinews and the flesh came
up upon them, and
[2] the skin covered them above [outwardly
they appeared to be alive]:
[a.] but
[there was] no breath in them [no spiritual life yet].
37:9 Then said he [the
Spirit of God] unto me,
[1] Prophesy unto the wind,
[2] prophesy, son of man, and
[a.]
say to the
wind,
[11.] Thus saith the Lord GOD;
[aa.] Come from the four winds [the coming lifeblood of Israel shall be in
the re-gathering of her people from the four corners of the earth], O breath, and
[ab.] breathe upon these slain,
[111.] that they may live.
37:10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and
[1] the breath came into them [miracles are the results of obedience to
the Word of the Lord], and
[2] they lived, and
[3] [they]stood up upon their feet,
[a.] an exceeding great army.
