Thank for spreading the WORD of truth.

Isaiah 49:14-15 But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.” “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!

Thank you! I was kind of confused on whether it was a vision or prophecy. You explained it very well!

Son of Man, Prophecy...We are called to make different sort of prayers brothers and sisters in Christ. This story shows and always remind me that the prophetic prayer is needed when we are facing dead situations. of course 2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people humble themselves help us to recognize our wrongdoings, repent and then speak the word of God (prophecy to your life, health, job, family, nation, church etc that it will and have to be alive by the power of the spirit of God zacharia 4:6 ) When we have been doing life by our own strenght, let us be humble repent, aks the Holy spirit to be the Leader, the General, and decree the words of Life : life and death is in the power of the tongue . (Proverbs) and see God bring revival, bring his life back...and resurrection is a process . praise Jesus Christ forever

When I hear "dry bones", all I think of are the undead Koopa Troopas in the Mario games.

The fulfillment is of my people from my life. I'm an Israelite in America. My genetics match those bones and the ancient eygptians Pharoah Ramsey III

[berliannahaz]

Its hard to deny God's hands in the rebirth of the state of Israel today. About spiritual awakening, i agree it hasn't happened yet, but we know just like Jesus hasn't been accepted today as King by many nations\ countries doesn't mean he's not the King yet. Jesus has been accepted as King by Christians since His first coming and later God will establish His kingdom as prophesied.
Like wise the Ezekiel 37 "dry bones" prophecy is being fulfilled starting w the rebirth of the state of Israel.

These verses are most likely about when all will come out of the graves with resurrected bodies..

For me I have been seeing the number 222 come in everything. I think God is just letting me know that He is with me, but some say that the bible carries answers to this 222. Could you possibly answer this?

Where I serve is a Valley of Dry bones.
It's liturgical...M
They're rich. They pay up. Assessments, claims, pledges etc.
They pay people to 'do' things they could do.
Business meeting attendance is full.
But...

I believe the valley of the dry bones is the resurrection of the 144, 000. Who are the male Jewish children slain by Herod in Mathew chapter 2:18-18. Jeremiah 31:15-16 prophecies that they will be back. A little side note. Both Jesus and John The Baptist called the Jewish leaders vipers
Makes me believe that the Sadducees and Pharisees likely had some responsibility in the genocide. Possibly revealing where the children were being hidden.

I read it I don’t understand how you get that it means don’t hold on too your skeletons nd vision what can be instead of what is

[contemplate-Matt.G]

Two sticks = Jew and Gentile. Just read the New Testament. "For He is our peace, who has made the two ONE". Everyone...and I mean everyone misses the point. It's a prophecy of the NEW COVENANT, called the everlasting covenant.
Now you know why Judah and Israel are already on the first stick. Ephraim and Joseph represent Gentiles as per Ephraim receiving the firstborn son's blessing from Jacob....the fullness of the GENTILES.

[susantant]

This verse was so the Jews would believe in Jesus when the bones became alive again

[aaronsalas]

It’s sad how many times Iv heard such prophecy, first of all God never promised to rebirth Israel of old. It’s hard to see people cannot see nor understand the Bible, if you look at the consistency of the word in OT times you can see that God never intended to establish or re-establish Jews of OT time. What you do see is Israel backsliding again and again, what you do see is Israel serving Moleck or Baal consistently and turning their backs on God. The valley of the dry bones is not Israel but the Church!

[sleric]

Adam an Eve (Israel) even though they were first will be last to repent (when all hope are gone). First will be last and last will be first. After Moses 'departure' with the Satan (Jude 9) God moved on with His plan of salvation to other nations (who were probably from fallen angels - excluding nephilim which were 'monsters'). Jesus was not very interested of changing the Jews but instead spreading the good news to other nations. Moses was not able to bargain with God. It is God's will that prevailed.
