Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones

The Prophet Ezekiel said that a day would come when the Jewish People, the sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would return to the land.


Ezekiel 37:1-14 (ESV) 

1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. 
2 And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 
3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord GOD, you know.” 
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 
5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the LORD.” 
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 
8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them. 
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. 
11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are indeed cut off.’ 
12 Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel. 
13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people. 
14 And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.” 

The Lord will gathering of the People
to the Land

The Prophet Isaiah said that a day would come when the descendants would regather in the Land to be called "Israel".

Isaiah 44:1-5 (ESV) 

1 “But now hear, O Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen! 
2 Thus says the LORD who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen. 
3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. 
4 They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams. 
5 This one will say, ‘I am the LORD’s,’ another will call on the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and name himself by the name of Israel.”
