1 00:00:00,760 --> 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 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: and ye shall live Ezekiel thirty seven. 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: Five. 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,799 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 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: thirty seven, I will prophesy and speak the words of 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: God over every person I see.

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 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: power to help raise up an army of purpose filled 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: people who will inspire others to live the life that 14 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: You have created them to live. This mindset as my anchor, 15 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: I speak to every dead and forgotten dream in my life, 16 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: for you are alive. I declare that this will be 17 00:01:13,480 --> 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 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: life giving power to accelerate and succeed in Jesus' name, Amen, 20 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: listening to these daily prayers strengthens your relationship with God. 21 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: Continue hearing from the Lord by listening to Today's Bible. 22 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: In a year brought to you by Bible in a 23 00:01:45,920 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: Year dot Com. 24 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: Valley of Dry Bones. In our last story, of Judah 25 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: struggled to regain stability. Some leaders desired to serve Babylon 26 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: and make peace, others desired to rebel. As a result, 27 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: brother turned against brother. The remnant of Judah was torn, 28 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 3: and many of them fled to Egypt despite Jeremiah's warnings. 29 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 3: Now we are introduced to another prophet by the name 30 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: of Ezekiel. Ezekiel is given a unique glimpse into the 31 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 3: heart and mind of God. He is taken up by 32 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: his spirit and shown an image of Israel's dead souls 33 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: coming back to life. Inspired by the Book of Ezekiel. 34 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: This is Jack Graham with today's episode of the Bible 35 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: in a Year podcast. Thanks for joining us. In our 36 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: last episode, we heard about the remnant of Judah that 37 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: remained in the land after the Babylonian conquest. Those who 38 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: stayed had a difficult, demanding task. It was rebuilding their homeland, 39 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: which was laying in ruins. Though they tried to remain 40 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: faithful to God, evil conspired against those who sought to 41 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: do God's will. In fear, much of the remnant fled 42 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 2: to Egypt rather than trust in God's provision and protection. 43 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: Today we will meet a new prophet, a man named Ezekiel, 44 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 2: who will receive an awesome vision from God that shows 45 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 2: him God's heart for his people and the power that 46 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: only the God of Israel possesses to bring life even 47 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: to dead dry bones. Let's listen now to the reading 48 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: from God's word. 49 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: It was dusk, the sky was painted a strong amber. 50 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: In the prophet Ezekiel was walking among the fields. The 51 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: light breeze whistled through the valley, causing the grain to 52 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: dance back and forth. Ezekiel looked up to Heaven, praying 53 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: to the Lord. Then in an instant, Ezekiel was thrown 54 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: out into the spirit of God. The earth around him spun. 55 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: Ezekiel fell face down and looked up. It was no 56 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: longer in the lush fields. Ezekiel lifted his eyes to 57 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: see a blighted valley. The earth was coarse and black, 58 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: and the sky was dim with smog and soot. Ezikiel 59 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 3: heard a crack beneath his hands and feet bones. Ezekiel 60 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: sprung to his feet and saw that the entire valley 61 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 3: was laced with dry and rotting bones. The spirit of 62 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: the Lord took Ezekiel by the shoulder and led him 63 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: among the valley of dry bones, so dry that they 64 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: cracked and ground into a powder. As he stepped on them. 65 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 3: A wind blew through the east. Dust and bone covered 66 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: the entire land. It was a bleak and ominous sight. 67 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: A voice flew in with the wind and asked, son 68 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 3: of Man, can these dry bones live? Ezekiel looked at 69 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 3: the blighted valley. There was no sign of life for 70 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: a hundred miles in every direction. Oh, Lord, Ezekiel responded, 71 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 3: Only you know the answer to that. The wind blew 72 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 3: against his face. Speak over the bones, Ezekiel, God said, 73 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 3: speak for me anything, Oh you dry bones, hear the 74 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: word of the Lord. I will breathe life into you. 75 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: Your bodies will be covered in sinew, flesh and skin. 76 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 3: I will put my breath in you, and you shall 77 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 3: know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel nodded and looked 78 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: upon the desolation. He lifted his voice to the dry 79 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 3: bones and spoke the Lord's words to them. As he spoke, 80 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 3: the wind picked up, as if the breath of God 81 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: was flowing through the valley. The wind whistled, and the 82 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: sound of rattling filled the atmosphere. Ezekiel watched as the 83 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 3: bones rolled across the valley to find one another and 84 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 3: come together. Bone found, bone, and skeletons were made whole. 85 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 3: Sinew wrapped around the dry and blighted bones, and muscles 86 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 3: began to form around the limbs. Skin covered them, and 87 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 3: Ezekiel saw a sea of people lying lifeless on the ground. 88 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 3: There was no life in them, no breath of God's spirit. 89 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: Ezekiel could feel the light caress of the breeze in it. 90 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: He heard God speak again, saying, Prophesie to the breath, Ezekiel, 91 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: speak for me, and declare the four winds of God 92 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: to breathe the life into the dead. Ezekiel was quivering. 93 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 3: His heart could barely contain what he was experiencing. At first, 94 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 3: Ezekiel said nothing. He struggled with the words as he 95 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 3: stared upon the valley of lifeless bodies. He regained his 96 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 3: composure and prophesied over the dead bodies with the words 97 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: of God. And in that instant, the wind howled from 98 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: every direction, the breath of God's spirit, the ruak, the numa, 99 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 3: the same breath that breathed life in a mankind blew 100 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 3: mightily through the valley. Ironically, Ezekiel was breathless. He watched 101 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: as life was into the dead bodies. He watched them 102 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 3: rise from the ground and stand to their feet. Soon 103 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,119 Speaker 3: the bodies were covered in armor, and a vast army 104 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 3: stood before Ezekiel. It was a magnificent sight. The prophet 105 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: fell to his knees, beholding the army of living bones. 106 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: These bones are the house of Israel, my children. God 107 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: said to Ezekiel. They believe their hope is lost, just 108 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: like these dry bones. You must tell them that I 109 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: am able to open their graves and raise them to 110 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: new life. I shall put my spirit in them, and 111 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: they shall truly live. They shall know that I am 112 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: their God, and I am the author of life. Ezekiel 113 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: was still on his knees, trembling at the voice of 114 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: the Lord. His presence was comforting yet terrifying, strong yet gentle. 115 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 3: He hung on every word spoken to him. Take two 116 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: sticks and write on them, God commanded. The prophet grabbed 117 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: two fallen branches about the size of his arm and 118 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: began to carve out the words. 119 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: Of the Lord. 120 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: Behold, I am going to take the branch of Judah 121 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: and the branch of Israel and make them one again. 122 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: I will gather them and make them a single nation. 123 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 3: They will not fall again into idolatry, for I will 124 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: cleanse them of all unrighteousness. His Ekiel marveled at the 125 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 3: words of God. The thought of the two nations once 126 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 3: again coming together seemed too good to be true. It 127 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: was a dream come true. But who would lead such 128 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: a nation. None had been successful since the reign of David. 129 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: The Lord spoke again, saying, a son of David will 130 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 3: be king over the one nation. I will make a 131 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 3: covenant with them. They will sit in my presence, and 132 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: we will be close once again. I will shepherd them, 133 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: and all the nations shall be blessed because of them. 134 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 3: This God spoke concerning the coming king, the great Hero, 135 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: that all heroes pointed to, the Great Priest, that all 136 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 3: priests pointed to. The Great King, that all kings pointed to, 137 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 3: the son of David, would bring about the true character 138 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 3: of God and bridge the gap between mankind and its creator. 139 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: This hero would be Jesus, the Christ and the Son 140 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 3: of God. 141 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: In today's reading, we're introduced to a new prophet, a 142 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: man named Ezekiel. God had spoken through Ezekiel for many years, 143 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: warning Judah and calling them back to God. But as 144 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 2: we already know, Judah did not repent, and they were 145 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 2: defeated conquered by the Babylonians. Ezekiel was taken along with 146 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: his people into exile. Ezekiel's name means God will strengthen, 147 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: and as we will soon discover, God is going to 148 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: use Ezekiel to tell his people just that that their 149 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 2: God will bring strength even to what they believe to 150 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: be and hopeless. For one day, God's spirit came upon 151 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 2: the prophet and he was taken up in a vision. 152 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: As he looked around, he was in a valley surrounded 153 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: by nothing but dry, dead, lifeless bones. God didn't ask 154 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: him a question that seems ridiculous from a human perspective. 155 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: He asked, can these bones live? Wisely, Ezekiel said, only 156 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: you know that. God. He surely knew that God, who 157 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 2: had made man out of nothing but dirt and breath, 158 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: could do anything he will, bringing life even to bones. 159 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 2: The Lord then commanded Ezekiel to speak his word over 160 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: the bones, and as he did, these dry, brittle bones 161 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: began to come together with muscles and tendons and flesh. 162 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: Suddenly the valley was covered with not bones, but human 163 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: bodies full of flesh. Yet there was no sign of life. 164 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: We have to think a vision of thousands of human 165 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: bones seemed disturbing enough, but these lifeless bodies all around 166 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: would have been a terrifying sight. But God wasn't done yet. 167 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: He told Ezekiel to speak to the four winds, calling 168 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: them to fill these lifeless bodies. This was no mere wind. 169 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 2: This was the breath of God, the powerful breath of 170 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: the Almighty, the same breath that filled Adam's lungs and 171 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 2: sprung him to life in the garden. It was the Ruach, 172 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 2: the wind God sent over the waters to make them 173 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: recede after the flood. There was great power in the 174 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: breath of God, and as Ezekiel prophesied to the winds, 175 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: they came and filled the bodies with life. It is 176 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: an amazing reminder of God's life giving power, and this 177 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: was the message God wanted Ezekiel to give to his people. 178 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 2: The once lifeless bodies rose from the ground and stood 179 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 2: before him an awesome army of warriors. Then God spoke 180 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: and we read in Ezekiel thirty seven, verse eleven twelve 181 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: and thirteen. These words, Son of Man, these bones are 182 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 2: the people of Israel. They say, our bones are dried 183 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: up and our hope is gone. We are cut off. 184 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: Therefore prophesy and say to them, this is what the 185 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: sovereign Lord says, my people. I am going to open 186 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: your graves and bring you up from them. I will 187 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, 188 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: my people, will know that I am the Lord when 189 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: I open your graves and bring you up from them. 190 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 2: Despite the disobedience of God's people, their lack of faithfulness, 191 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 2: God would not leave them in a hopeless situation. God 192 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: has a plan and eternal plan for Israel. Though they 193 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 2: could only see despair and darkness and death in their exile, 194 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: God was giving them a message of hope. The same 195 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: God of hope is alive and working today. Even in 196 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: your most hopeless situation, where nothing good seems possible, where 197 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: there is only dry bones in death, God promises hope, 198 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: and it is the core, the same hope that he 199 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 2: was announcing to his people at his core. This is 200 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 2: the hope that God was giving to his people through Ezekiel, 201 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: and it is the hope that he promises us today 202 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: through our Lord Jesus Christ. And here was the promise 203 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 2: to God's people, even though they could not fully understand it. 204 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: God was promising that he would restore the nation to life. 205 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 2: They would be restored to their homeland, and the two 206 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: nations Judah and Israel. God was going to bring them 207 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: under one king. Dear God, we pray for revival in 208 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 2: our nation, spiritual awakening around the world. May you take 209 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 2: what is dead and bring it to life. Revive your church, 210 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: Oh God, bring your people back to life. May we 211 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: stand and not be silent with the word of God 212 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: and the testimony of Jesus. May we live under the 213 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: banner and the power and in the breath of God's Spirit, 214 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: Christ the King. Dear God, Thank you that even in 215 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: the most desperate and desolate circumstances, when death is all around, 216 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 2: you are still in control and you can bring life 217 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: out of death. You did that in the resurrection through Jesus, 218 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: our Lord, and it is in his name that we pray.
