1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Let us pray thus saith the Lord God. Unto these

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: bones behold, I will cause breath to enter into you,

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: and ye shall live Ezekiel thirty seven.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: Five.

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: Lord, through the power of your Holy Spirit, I will

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: speak life into the dead dreams of others. Like Ezekiel

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: thirty seven, I will prophesy and speak the words of

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: God over every person I see. May your breath fill

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: them with every ounce of hope needed for them to

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: step into their God given identity. I declare and decree

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: that through my life, I will do everything in my

12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: power to help raise up an army of purpose filled

13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: people who will inspire others to live the life that

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: You've created them to live. With this mindset as my anchor,

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: I speak to every dead and forgotten dream in my life,

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: for you are alive. I declare that this will be

17
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: a season of rebirth and newness. I declare that whatever

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: and whoever I come in contact with will receive your

19
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: life giving power to accelerate and succeed in Jesus' name, Amen,

20
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,400

00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: Valley of dry Bones. In our last story, the Remnant

32
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 4: of Judah struggled to regain stability. Some leaders desired to

33
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: serve Babylon and make peace, others desired to rebel. As

34
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 4: a result, brother turned against brother. The Remnant of Judah

35
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 4: was torn, and many of them fled to Egypt despite

36
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: Jeremiah's warnings. Now we are introduced to another prophet by

37
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 4: the name of Ezekiel. Ezekiel is given a unique glimpse

38
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: into the heart and mind of God. He is taken

39
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: up by his spirit and shown an image of Israel's

40
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: dead souls coming.

41
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: Back to life.

42
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,559
Speaker 4: Inspired by the Book of Ezekiel.

43
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: This is Jack Graham with today's episode of the Bible

44
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: in a year podcast. Thanks for joining us. In our

45
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: last episode, we heard about the remnant of Judah that

46
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: remained in the landa after the Babylonian conquest. Those who

47
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: stayed had a difficult, demanding task. It was rebuilding their homeland,

48
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: which was laying in ruins. Though they tried to remain

49
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: faithful to God, evil conspired against those who sought to

50
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: do God's will. In fear, much of the remnant fled

51
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: to Egypt rather than trust in God's provision and protection.

52
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: Today we will meet a new prophet, a man named Ezekiel,

53
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: who will receive an awesome vision from God that shows

54
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: him God's heart for his people and the power that

55
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: only the God of Israel possesses to bring life even

56
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: to dead dry bones. Let's listen now to the reading

57
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: from God's word.

58
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: It was dusk, the sky was painted a strong amber.

59
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 4: In the prophet Ezekiel was walking among the fields. The

60
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 4: light breeze whistled through the valley, causing the grain to

61
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: dance back and forth. Ezekiel looked up to Heaven, praying

62
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: to the Lord. Then in an instant, Ezekiel was thrown

63
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: out into the spirit of God. The earth around him spun.

64
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: Ezekiel fell face down and looked up. He was no

65
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: longer in the lush fields. Ezekiel lifted his eyes to

66
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 4: see a blighted valley. The earth was coarse and black,

67
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: and the sky was dim with smog and soot. Ezekiel

68
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: heard a crack beneath his hands and feet bones. Ezekiel

69
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: sprung to his feet and saw that the entire valley

70
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 4: was laced with dry and rotting bone. The spirit of

71
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 4: the Lord took Ezekiel by the shoulder and led him

72
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: among the valley of dry bones, so dry that they

73
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: cracked and ground into a powder as he stepped on them.

74
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 4: A wind blew through the east. Dust and bone covered

75
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: the entire land. It was a bleak and ominous sight.

76
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: A voice flew in with the wind and asked, son

77
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: of Man, can these dry bones live? Ezekiel looked at

78
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 4: the blighted valley. There was no sign of life for

79
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: a hundred miles in every direction, Oh, Lord, Ezekiel responded,

80
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 4: only you know the answer to that. The wind blew

81
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 4: against his face. Speak over the bones, Ezekiel, God said,

82
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 4: speak for me anything, Oh you dry bones, hear the

83
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 4: word of the Lord, I will breathe life into you.

84
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: Your bodies will be covered in sinew, flesh and skin.

85
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: I will put my breath in you, and you shall

86
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 4: know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel nodded and looked

87
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: upon the desolation. He lifted his voice to the dry

88
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 4: bones and spoke the Lord's words to them. As he spoke,

89
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 4: the wind picked up, as if the breath of God

90
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 4: was flowing through the valley. The wind whistled and the

91
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 4: sound of rattling filled the atmosphere. Ezekiel watched as the

92
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: bones rolled across the valley to find one another and

93
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: come together. Bone found, bone, and skeletons were made whole.

94
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 4: Sinew wrapped around the dry and blighted bones, and muscles

95
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: began to form around the limbs. Skin covered them, and

96
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: Ezekiel saw a sea of people lying lifeless on the ground.

97
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 4: There was no life in them, no breath of God's spirit.

98
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: Ezekiel could feel the light caress of the breeze in it.

99
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 4: He heard God speak again, saying Prophesie to the breath, Ezekiel,

100
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 4: speak for me and declare the four winds of God

101
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: to breathe life into the dead. Ezekiel was quivering. His

102
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 4: heart could barely contain what he was experiencing. At first,

103
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: Ezekiel said nothing. He struggled with the words as he

104
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: stared upon the valley of lifeless bodies. He regained his

105
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: composure and prophesied over the dead bodies with the words

106
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: of God. And in that instant, the wind howled from

107
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: every direction. The breath of God's spirit, the ruach the Numa,

108
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 4: the same breath that breathed life into mankind, blew mightily

109
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 4: through the valley. Ironically, Ezekiel was breathless. He watched as

110
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: life was breathed into the dead bodies. He watched them

111
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 4: rise from the ground and stand to their feet. Soon

112
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: the bodies were covered in armor, and a vast army

113
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: stood before Ezekiel. It was a magnificent sight. The prophet

114
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 4: fell to his knees, beholding the army of living bones.

115
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: These bones are the house of Israel, my children. God

116
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 4: said to Ezekiel. They believe their hope is lost, just

117
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: like these dry bones. You must tell them that I

118
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: am able to open their graves and raise them to

119
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: new life. I shall put my spirit in them, and

120
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: they shall truly live. They shall know that I am

121
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: their God, and I am the author of life. Ezekiel

122
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: was still on his knees, trembling at the voice of

123
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 4: the Lord. His presence was comforting yet terrifying, strong yet gentle.

124
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 4: He hung on every word spoken to him. Take two

125
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: sticks and write on them, God commanded. The prophet grabbed

126
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 4: two fallen branches about the size of his arm and

127
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: began to carve out the words.

128
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Of the Lord.

129
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: Behold, I am going to take the branch of Judah

130
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 4: and the branch of Israel and make them one again.

131
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: I will gather them and make them a single nation.

132
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: They will not fall again into idolatry, for I will

133
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 4: cleanse them of all unrighteousness. Ezekiel marveled at the words

134
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 4: of God. The thought of the two nations once again

135
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 4: coming together seemed too good to be true. It was

136
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 4: a dream come true. But who would lead such a nation.

137
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 4: None had been successful since the reign of David. The

138
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: Lord spoke again, saying, a son of David will be

139
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 4: king over the one nation. I will make a covenant

140
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: with them. They will sit in my presence, and we

141
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: will be close once again. I will shepherd them, and

142
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 4: all the nations shall be blessed because of them. This

143
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: God spoke concerning the coming King, the great Hero, that

144
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 4: all heroes pointed to, the Great Priest, that all priests

145
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: pointed to the Great King, that all kings pointed to,

146
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 4: the Son of David, would bring about the true character

147
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: of God and bridge the gap between mankind and its creator.

148
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 4: This hero would be Jesus, the Christ, and the Son

149
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 4: of God.

150
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 2: In today reading, were introduced to a new prophet, a

151
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: man named Ezekiel. God had spoken through Ezekiel for many years,

152
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: warning Judah and calling them back to God. But as

153
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: we already know, Judah did not repent, and they were

154
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: defeated conquered by the Babylonians. Ezekiel was taken along with

155
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: his people into exile. Ezekiel's name means God will strengthen,

156
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: and as we will soon discover, God is going to

157
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: use Ezekiel to tell his people just that that their

158
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: God will bring strength even to what they believe to

159
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: be dead and hopeless. For one day, God's spirit came

160
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: upon the prophet and he was taken up in a vision.

161
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 2: As he looked around, he was in a valley surrounded

162
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: by nothing but dry, dead, lifeless bones. God then ask

163
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: him a question that seems ridiculous from a human perspective.

164
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: He asked, can these bones live? Wisely, Ezekiel said, only

165
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: you know that God. He surely knew that God, who

166
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: had made man out of nothing but dirt and breath,

167
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: could do anything he will, bringing life even to bones.

168
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 2: The Lord then commanded Ezekiel to speak his word over

169
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: the bones, and as he did, these dry, brittle bones

170
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: began to come together with muscles and tendons and flesh.

171
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: Suddenly the valley was covered with not bones, but human

172
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: bodies full of flesh. Yet there was no sign of life.

173
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: We have to think a vision of thousands of human

174
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: bones seemed disturbing enough, but these lifeless bodies all around

175
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: would have been a terrifying sight. But God wasn't done yet.

176
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: He told Ezekiel to speak to the four winds, calling

177
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: them to fill these lifeless bodies. This was no mere wind.

178
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: This was the breath of God, the powerful breath of

179
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: the Almighty, the same breath that filled Ladam's lungs and

180
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: sprung him to life in the garden. It was the Ruach,

181
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 2: the wind God sent over the waters to make them

182
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: recede after the flood. There was great power in the

183
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: breath of God, and as Ezekiel prophesied to the winds,

184
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: they came and filled the bodies with life. It is

185
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 2: an amazing reminder of God's life giving power, and this

186
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: was the message God wanted Ezekiel to give to his people.

187
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: The once lifeless bodies rose from the ground and stood

188
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: before him an awesome army of warriors. Then God spoke

189
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: and we read in Ezekiel thirty seven, verse eleven, twelve

190
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: and thirteen these words, Son of Man, these bones are

191
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: the people of Israel. They say, our bones are dried up,

192
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: and our hope is gone. We are cut off. Therefore

193
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: prophesy and say to them, this is what the Sovereign

194
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: Lord says, my people. I am going to open your

195
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: graves and bring you up from them. I will bring

196
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: you back to the land of Israe. Then my people

197
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: will know that I am the Lord when I open

198
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: your graves and bring you up from them. Despite the

199
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: disobedience of God's people their lack of faithfulness, God would

200
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: not leave them in a hopeless situation. God has a plan,

201
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: an eternal plan for Israel. Though they could only see

202
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: despair and darkness and death in their exile, God was

203
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: giving them a message of hope. The same God of

204
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: hope is alive and working today. Even in your most

205
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: hopeless situation, where nothing good seems possible, where there is

206
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: only dry bones in death, God promises hope. And it

207
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: is the core, the same hope that he was announcing

208
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: to his people at his core. This is the hope

209
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: that God was giving to his people through Ezekiel, and

210
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: it is the hope that he promises us today through

211
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 2: our Lord Jesus Christ. And here was the promise to

212
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: God's people, even though they could not fully understand it.

213
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: God was promising that he would restore the nation to life.

214
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: They would be restored to their homeland and the two

215
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: nations Judah and Israel. God was going to bring them

216
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: under one king. Dear God, we pray for revival in

217
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: our nation, spiritual awakening around the world. May you take

218
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: what is dead and bring it to life. Revive your church,

219
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: Oh God, bring your people back to life. May we

220
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: stand and not be silent with the word of God

221
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: and the testimony of Jesus. May we live under the

222
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: banner and the power and in the breath of God's

223
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Spirit Christ the King. Dear God, Thank you that even

224
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: in the most desperate and desolate circumstances, when death is

225
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: all around, you are still in control and you can

226
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: bring life out of death. You did that in the

227
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: resurrection through Jesus our Lord, and it is in his

228
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: name that we pray. Amen. Thank you for listening to
