What does Ezekiel 37 prophesy about Israel?
Ezekiel 37 prophesies the national awakening and restoration of Israel: though buried among the Gentiles and seemingly obscure, the nation will come alive, return to its land, and again become a viable nation. Its beginning is visible now, but the full culmination remains future.
Les teaches that Ezekiel 37 deals with the awakening again of the nation of Israel. Israel had come out of complete obscurity as a nation and had been buried among the Gentiles, but this chapter prophesies that one day they will come alive, come back to the land, and again become a viable nation. He says we are seeing at least the beginnings of that, especially in recent years, though the full culmination is still future. He then reads Ezekiel 37 beginning at verse 1, where the hand of the Lord was upon Ezekiel, carried him out in the Spirit, and set him down in the midst of a valley full of bones.
