Can These Dry Bones Live?

The Book of Ezekiel is the most compelling story of what had happened to the most Noble Nation of Earth, Israel the Chosen People of God. Their spiritual life became extinct, becoming dry bones in the open valley of humanity. But that was not the conclusion to the story because the greatness of God's mercy makes the impossible a REALITY and guarantees for them a destiny of greatness. The greater story is that all humanity is merely dry bones in an open valley. Yet there is a guaranteed future for every other nation and for everyone. It is the guarantee that comes from accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior. It calls for turning from sin and turning unto God. It calls for surrendering all and accepting the righteousness of Jesus Christ. This guarantee is just as grand or even grander than Israel's guarantee. The Book of Ezekiel sets forth the righteous justification of Israel's Captivity, their indictments, and Divine Judgments. But there is also the promise Of Israel's Restoration, in the Coming Millennium Reign of Jesus Christ. However, Restoration could not have come before Captivity and national cleansing and repentance. In this sense, Israel becomes a lesson for all mankind.
