What has been the lot of the Jewish people since 70 A.D.?
Since 70 A.D., the Jewish people have been scattered among the Gentile nations, without a land, without an altar, and without a priesthood. Israel out of the land is pictured as a nation in its grave, out of the place of blessing for over 1,900 years.
Les explains that Ezekiel 37's Valley of Dry Bones is not about the graves visible in the Kidron Valley; it concerns the nation of Israel out of the land and scattered among the Gentile nations. Israel out of the land is a nation in its grave. That condition—without a land, without an altar, without a priesthood—has been the lot of the Jew since 70 A.D. The dry bones emphasize Israel had been out of the place of blessing a long time, over 1,900 years, and Les adds it will not stay that way.
