Ezekial 37:5 When you look at the number of bones God brings back to life the passage gives hope to Israel at a time in the Jewish peoples desperate that had little hope. 4; As humans, our frames sit on living bones and are sculpted together with muscle, tendons, and nerves. So the passage not only provides hope for the individual it also offers hope for the nation of Jews and Christians. When God delivered the prophecy, Christ had not begun his ministry, and the Nation of Israel and Jerusalem were in ruins. God breath of life gave hope to his prophets and people in a dark time.
