The provided transcripts do not include Les Feldick's teaching on the modern revival of Hebrew; they focus instead on the restoration of the nation of Israel.
Les Feldick explains that Israel, like the dry bones in Ezekiel 37, was scattered among the nations without a homeland, priesthood, or temple. He sees the Jews' return to Israel in the last century—from Russia, Ethiopia, and dozens of other nations—as a fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecy. While the regeneration of Israel is closely related to the Hebrew language's restoration, the specific topic of language revival is not mentioned anywhere in these clips.
Ezekiel 37:12–14 — This is the central prophecy Les uses to explain Israel's modern restoration and regathering.
The Bible uses the vision of the valley of dry bones to depict the national restoration of Israel. God says, 'Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel' (Ezekiel 37:12). He promises not only to bring them back to their land but also to put His Spirit in them so they will live (Ezekiel 37:14). This passage is the foundational text for understanding Israel's modern regathering.
Les Feldick asserts that Ezekiel 37 is not a description of literal graveyards but a picture of Israel as a nation exiled among the Gentiles. He points out that since 70 A.D. the Jews have been without a land, an altar, and a priesthood, effectively 'dead' as a nation. He then shows how God has been resurrecting that nation over the last century as Jews return from all over the world. Les mentions specifics such as the last Jews leaving Albania, a handful remaining in Syria, and the famous airlift of 14,000 Ethiopian Jews in 33 hours. He says Jews now in Israel have come from 133 distinct sovereign nations. For Les, this rapid and unprecedented return is miraculous evidence that God is preparing Israel for His return. However, none of the provided clips discuss the Hebrew language itself. Les's comments center on the people and the land, not on their speech. The revival of Hebrew as a spoken language, while a well-known historical event, is outside the scope of the transcript excerpts provided.
Les explains that when his tour guide pointed to the Kidron Valley, the Jews call it the 'Valley of Dry Bones' because of the graves there. But Les insists Ezekiel 37 is about the nation of Israel scattered among the Gentile nations—a people in their grave because they have no land, no altar, and no priesthood. He stresses that this has been Israel's condition since 70 A.D.
Les points to the return of Jews from many nations, including Russia and Albania, and the airlift of 14,000 Ethiopian Jews in 33 hours. He notes that Israel has drawn Jews from 133 different sovereign nations, and that in some countries like Albania and Syria only a few hundred or no Jews remain at all.
No. Les compares Israel's present condition to Ezekiel's bones that have muscle and skin but no breath. He says the nation is coming back to life physically and politically, but it is still spiritually dead until God puts His Spirit in them. This will happen at the second coming, when Christ rules from Jerusalem.
Dry Bones = Scattered Nation
Les teaches that Ezekiel 37's valley is not Kidron but Israel dispersed among the Gentiles without a land, altar, or priesthood since 70 A.D.
Open Graves Foretold
Les quotes God's promise to open Israel's graves and bring them into their land, noting that the fulfillment began in 1948.
Regathering After 2,000 Years
Les notes that the Jews rejected an African homeland and have been returning to Israel, tying this to the prophecy of revival after two days (2,000 years).
Nation Coming Back to Life
Les compares Israel's return to Ezekiel's bones—muscle and skin are back, but the nation is still spiritually dead until God gives life.
Miracle of a Small Nation
Les says the constant world attention on tiny Israel is miraculous and shows God is preparing the people for His soon return.
Airlift from Ethiopia
Les cites the airlifting of 14,000 Ethiopian Jews in 33 hours as explicit fulfillment of the prophecy of gathering the seed of Israel from the north and other countries.
Graves Opened, Spirit Promised
Les quotes Ezekiel 37:12-14 to remind listeners that God will open Israel's graves, put His Spirit in them, and place them in their own land.
Jews from 133 Nations
Les documents that Jews have come to Israel from 133 distinct sovereign nations, and that Albania and Syria now have only a handful of Jews left.
Ezekiel 37:12: Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
This verse is the core promise that Israel would be restored to their land from their dispersion, which Les ties to the modern regathering.
Ezekiel 37:14: And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
This completes the promise: after regathering, Israel will receive God's Spirit and truly live in their own land.
In these specific transcripts, he does not. He focuses on the regathering of the Jewish people to the land, not on the language they speak. The topic of Hebrew revival comes from other teachings not included here.
Because Israel was scattered among the nations without a homeland, temple, or priesthood, making it a non-viable entity. Ezekiel 37 shows God opening their graves and bringing them back to their land.
He sees the return of Jews from all over the world and the establishment of the state in 1948 as a direct fulfillment of Ezekiel 37 and other prophecies, even though spiritual life still awaits Christ's return.
