Ezekiel chapter 37
Dead bone resuscitation
Scripture: The Lord said to me, "Son of man, prophesy to the wind and say,' Thus says the Lord GOD: Breath will come from all directions and blow on these slain people, so that they may live. So I prophesied as I was commanded, and the breath entered the bones, and the bones lived, and stood up and became a great army. (Knot 37:9- 10)
There are several elements in this article. First, the object of prophecy is that life is like a skeleton, like the dead Israelites. Second, prophecy is the word of God, and it is the breath of life that God blows to us to keep us alive. Third, the breath comes from all directions, and the word of God is all over the earth. Fourth, the breath is profound and the bones are raw. God's word made Israel experience the resurrection from the dead and the resurrection of life. Fifth, after the resurrection, the people of Israel became a huge army, which is a vision and hope with great vitality and strength shown by God when the people are hopeless.
Didn't the Lord also call us to predict Ezekiel? As a minority in society, don't Christians live in skeletons? Maybe it's hard for us to imagine how to turn a lifeless place upside down and bring it back to life. However, God has given us a new vision through Ezekiel. He wants to flip our cognition, update our vision, and let us see that when we spread the word of God, God will bring the breath of life to the world, and God will bring the miracle of resurrection from the dead and bring the bones back to the Lord's army. Let's firmly grasp this promise of God!
Psalm 128
Touching scripture: the Lord is righteous; He cut the rope of the wicked. (Ps。 129:4)
God is the God who brings salvation. It is true that evil enemies have attacked us greatly, and we are often caught in painful wars, but God is always the victorious God, and he will definitely cut off the ties between our enemies. Thank god!
