Joe: Alright, so we’re talking about Ezekiel 37? That’s a pretty wild chapter.

Bible Expert: It is. Ezekiel 37 is a vision in which Ezekiel is taken to a valley of dry bones and is instructed to prophesy to them.

Joe: Wait, so he’s talking to bones?

Bible Expert: Yes, he’s prophesying and the bones come together, flesh and skin covering them, but they’re still dead.

Joe: That’s messed up.

Bible Expert: So then God tells Ezekiel to prophesy to the wind, and the wind breathes life into the bones and they become living, breathing people.

Joe: (whistles) That’s pretty wild.

Bible Expert: It is. And then God explains to Ezekiel that the bones represent the people of Israel, and that He’s going to restore them to life and reunite them as one nation.

Joe: Alright, so God’s bringing the people of Israel back from the dead?

Bible Expert: Symbolically, yes. He’s restoring them to life and reuniting them as one nation. It’s a powerful image of God’s ability to bring hope and life to even the most desperate of situations.

Joe: Wow, that’s pretty amazing. Alright, Jamie, write that down--God can bring hope and life to even the most desperate of situations.
