With that being said, the next questions are:
- WHAT IS YAH SAYING THRU THE MOUTH OF EZEKIEL?
- WHAT OR WHO ARE THE DRY BONES?
- WHAT IS THE SYMBOLISM OR MEANING OF THIS PROPHECY?
On this page , with the guidance and will of Yah,
I will show you what this very important prophecy means, and to whom it
is addressed. My goal is to provide a greater understanding of who the
Israelites are. I Pray that Yah, open your mind, and give you understanding.
Ezekiel 37:1 "The hand of Yah was upon me,
and carried me out in the spirit of Yah, and set me down in the midst of the
valley which [was] full of bones,"
Ezekiel 37:2 "And caused me to pass by them
round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and lo,
they were very dry."
Yah is giving the Prophet Ezekiel a vision of a
valley that is full of bones. These bones were once people, the people of
Israel. Israel has been dead so long till they are now skeletons, their
skeletons have been in this valley so long till the bones are now dry. There
is no sign of life in these people. As we continue with this prophecy we'll
see that what Yah is showing Ezekiel is not a physical death but spiritual
one.
Ezekiel 37:3 "And he said unto me, Son of
man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Yah, you know."
Ezekiel 37:4 "Again he said unto me, Prophesy
upon these bones, and say unto them, O you dry bones, hear the word of
Yah."
Yah told Ezekiel to prophecy to these bones and hear
his words. Now this shows us that the bones are not a physically dead people,
because one does not prophesy to dead people or their bones. Dead people
cannot hear, so we know this is symbolic. Yah is equating the condition of
Israel with that of dead, dry bones in a valley. Before we continue with this
chapter, we must examine how and when Israel became spiritually dead.
Hosea 13:1 "When Ephraim spake trembling, he
exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he DIED."
Hosea 13:2 "And now they sin more and more, and
have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own
understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the
men that sacrifice kiss the calves."
Hosea 13:3 "Therefore they shall be as the
morning cloud, and as the early dew that pass away, as the chaff that is
driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the
chimney."
When the Israelites went after other gods and served
them that's when they died. They turned from serving Yah and died spiritually.
Proverb 21:16 "The man that wandereth out of the
way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the DEAD."
Israel has wondered out of the way of understanding,
he has rejected knowledge, so now he is in the congregation of the dead.
Israel is a spiritually dead people, but we have also lost our identity so now
we are twice dead or as Ezekiel says we are very dry. Look at what Yahshuah
says in Matthew 8:21-22
Matthew 8:21
"And another of his disciples said unto him, Master, suffer me first to
go and bury my father."
Matthew 8:22 "But Yahshuah said unto him, Follow
me; and let the dead bury their dead."
Yahshuah was saying let the (spiritually) dead bury
the (physically) dead. Those spiritually dead People were the Israelites. We
have been dead for a long time as Yah shows in the book of Isaiah:
Isaiah 65:2 "I have spread out my hands all
the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way [that was] not good,
after their own thoughts;"
Isaiah 65:3 "A people that provoketh me to anger
continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon
altars of brick;"
Isaiah 65:4 "Which remain among the GRAVES, and
lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable
things is in their vessels;"
Yah said Israel is dead, in verse 4 he says we remain
among the graves. What's in the graves? DEAD PEOPLE. Israel refused to listen
to Yah's word, but notice what he says in verse 3. Yah says, we continually as
a people provoke him to anger. He knew that we would not listen, so he had to
do something else to us to make us understand. Lets return to Ezekiel 37:
Ezekiel 37:5 "Thus saith Yah unto these
bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:"
Ezekiel 37:6 "And I will lay sinews upon you,
and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in
you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Yah."
Ezekiel 37: "So I prophesied as I was commanded:
and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones
came together, bone to his bone."
Ezekiel 37:8 "And when I beheld, lo, the sinews
and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there
was no breath in them."
Yah told Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones, and
Ezekiel did as he was commanded. Scripture says the bones heard Ezekiel and
became flesh, but they still remained lifeless (dead). In other words the dry
bones heard the words of Yah, they got excited and shook a little.
What this means is we were told we are the Israelites
of the bible, We are the true chosen people. When we heard that, we began to
want to hear the law and find the righteous path, but at the same time we
refuse to submit fully to Yah.
So we began to look alive but were still dead. They
didn't want to hear what thus says Yah. They wanted to continue serving false
gods (Jesus, Allah etc.) and false doctrine, so therefore they remained among
the dead.
To get these people awaken Yah had to do something
else to them, lets see what that is.
Ezek. 37:9 "Then said he unto me, prophesy
unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith Yah; Come
from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may
live."
Once again, Yah commanded Ezekiel to prophesy, but
this time it was not to the dry bones, it was to the four winds. Yah said
these four winds will breathe breath into these dry bones and they will live.
This is interesting. What is so special about the winds that it makes the dead
come alive? To answer that, we will have to see what the four winds are. For
that answer lets quickly look at the book of Daniel.
Daniel 7:1 "In the first year of Belshazzar
king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then
he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters."
Daniel 7:2 "Daniel spake and said, I saw in my
vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the
great sea."
Daniel 7:3 "And four great beasts came up from
the sea, diverse one from another."
Daniel 7:4 "The first was like a lion, and had
eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted
up from the earth, and made to stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart
was given to it."
Daniel 7:5 "And behold another beast, a second,
like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in
the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise,
devour much flesh."
Daniel 7:6 "After this I beheld, and lo another,
like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast
had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."
Daniel 7:7 "After this I saw in the night
visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong
exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and
stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the
beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Daniel has described the four winds as four beast.
Now, lets look a little further in this chapter for the meaning of what the
four beast are.
Dan 7:17 "These great beasts, which are four,
are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth."
The four beast are four kings or kingdoms which shall
come out of the earth.
These four kingdoms came upon the earth and brought
destruction to Israel.
These kingdoms are the BABYLONIANS who are described
as a lion with eagles wings (verse 4),
next were the MEDO-PERSIANS who are described as a
bear (verse 5),
next are the GREEKS under Alexander "The
Great". they are described as a leopard with four wings (verse 6),
and the last great beast is not physically described.
It is so terrible it has no image to be compared to. This is the ROMAN EMPIRE
(verse 7).
All four of these kingdoms or winds blew upon Israel
and caused them great pain. The Romans were the last of the winds, they were
the ones to exile Israel and destroy Jerusalem. We are still under that same
form of roman oppression.
The winds are still blowing upon Israel today, they
have not let up and because of this many of us are starting to awaken. We are
now putting that flesh over these dry bones. Our enemies through Yah, are
executing the curses of Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26 on us. This is what is
waking us up and making us hear the words of the Most High, but we must do
more than hear.
The following scriptures prove further that the four
winds are the four powerful nations.
Jeremiah 4:6 "Set up the standard toward
Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great
destruction."
Jeremiah 4:7 "The lion is come up from his
thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth
from his place to make thy land desolate (Israel); and thy cities shall be
laid waste, without an inhabitant."
This refers to the Babylonians attacking Judah.
Notice the Babylonians are called the lions just as they are described in the
book of Daniel.
Jeremiah 4:12 "Even a full wind from those
places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them."
Jeremiah 4:13 "Behold, he shall come up as
clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than
eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled."
This is still speaking of Babylon the first of the
four winds. In verse 12, they are called a full wind and verse 13, says they
are swifter than an eagle. In Daniel they are said to be a Lion with eagles
wings. The Babylonians came upon Israel and blew a mighty wind, as it says
"WOE UNTO US FOR WE ARE SPOILED.
Hosea 13:7 "Therefore I will be unto them as
a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:" Hosea 13:8 "I
will meet them as a bear that is bereaved [of her whelps, and will rend the
caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast
shall teat them."
Yah is speaking about the four winds in these two
verses. He says he will be unto us as a lion (Babylonians.)
He will observe us as a leopard (Greeks).
He will meet us as a bear (MEDO-Persia) and will
devour us like a lion and the wild beast (Rome) shall tear us.
Yah is clearly showing us that he is the one who
called the four winds upon us. He is the one that has allowed them to devour
us. We are still being devoured but after they have finished knocking us
around, we will then understand what it is that Yah wants us to do. We are
still in the period of having the wind blow upon us. We are breathing a
little. Israel is now in the process of becoming fully alive.
Hosea 5:14 "For I will be unto Ephraim as a
lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go
away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him."
Hosea 5:15 "I will go and return to my place,
till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction
they will seek me early."
Yah is the cause of Israel's troubles, he said he
will be a lion unto us, he will tear down. But he said we will seek him in our
affliction, and this, we are doing. We are being afflicted by the wind and we
are seeking his face. We will really be looking for Yah during the great
tribulation period. Yah is just trying to get our attention, he is trying to
get us to keep and understand our part of the covenant. But we Israelites
refuse to listen.
Ezekiel 37:10 "So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon
their feet, an exceeding great army." Ezekiel 37:11 "Then he said
unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they
say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our
parts."
After Ezekiel prophesied to the winds and the wind
came and blew upon the them (spiritually dead Israel), they came alive and
became the righteous nation Yah intended them to be. They were no longer a
dead people, but alive. This is what will happen to Israel upon the return of
Yahshuah the Messiah. Israel as a nation will come alive. Right now there is
very little or no hope in Israel, many of our leaders and people have just
about given up. But don't fear, we will be returned to our LAND, CULTURE,
HERITAGE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TO OUR HOLY ONE THE KING OF ISRAEL YAH.
Hosea 6:1 "Come, and let us return unto Yah:
for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us
up."
Hosea 6:2 "After two days will he revive us: in
the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."
Yah will raise us up in the third day or after the 3
½ year Great Tribulation, which will also be when Yahshuah returns.
Hosea 8:7 "For they have sown the wind, and
they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal:
if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up."
Once again we see the winds being brought up. These
are the same winds Ezekiel was commanded to prophesy to. Yah says we have sown
the wind and reap the whirlwind. A whirlwind is similar to a tornado, it is a
powerful wind that whirls around and around, anything in it's path will be
destroyed.
We as a people, Yah says have reaped this wind
(destruction).
Hosea 13:14 "I will ransom them from the
power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy
plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine
eyes."
Yah and only Yah will bring us forth from this
spiritual death. He will ransom us from the power of the grave and redeem us
from death (HALLELUYAH). Then and only then will we be freed from our currents
conditions.
This whole chapter is speaking about the death and
resurrection of the Israelite nation. Not some other thing that you may have
heard many preachers speak about.
The rest of Ezekiel 37: speaks for itself. Notice all
the things Yah says will happen when Israel is brought back from spiritual
death and brought back into their land. If Israel has indeed returned home,
then all the things mentioned in the next verses of Ezekiel 37 would have to
have taken place. After reading these verses ask yourself if they have. If the
answer you arrive at is No, then Israel is still in the lands of their enemies
with the winds (nations) blowing upon them.
Ezek. 37:12 "Therefore prophesy and say unto
them, Thus saith the Yah; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and
cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of
Israel."
Ezekiel 37:13 "And ye shall know that I am Yah,
when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your
graves,"
Ezekiel 37:14 "And shall put my spirit in you,
and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know
that I Yah have spoken it, and performed it, saith Yah."
Ezekiel 37:15 "The word of Yah came again unto
me, saying,"
Ezekiel 37:16 "Moreover, thou son of man, take
thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel
his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the
stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:"
Ezekiel 37:17 "And join them one to another into
one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand."
Ezekiel 37:18 "And when the children of thy
people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou
[meanest] by these?"
Ezekiel 37:19 "Say unto them, Thus saith Yah;
Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and
the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the
stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
Ezekiel 37:20 "And the sticks whereon thou
writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes."
Ezekiel 37:21 "And say unto them, Thus saith
Yah; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen,
whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into
their own land:"
Ezekiel 37:22 "And I will make them one nation
in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them
all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into
two kingdoms any more at all:"
Ezekiel 37:23 "Neither shall they defile
themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor
with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their
dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall
they be my people, and I will be their God."
Ezekiel 37:24 "And David my servant shall be
king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in
my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them."
Ezekiel 37:25 "And they shall dwell in the land
that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and
they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their
children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for
ever."
Ezekiel 37:26 "Moreover I will make a covenant
of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will
place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them
for evermore."
Ezekiel 37:27 "My tabernacle also shall be with
them: yea, I will be their holy one, and they shall be my people."
Ezekiel 37:28 "And the heathen shall know that I
Yah do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for
evermore."
After reading the rest of this chapter, Ask yourself
is Israel back, Yah said king David will be on the throne when Israel returns.
Is that the case today? NO.
Has Israel and Judah been made one nation yet? NO.
Israel has not been fully awakened yet or returned to
their homeland. This is according to scripture not me. The only way we can
return back home is if we are brought back from the grave FIRST (which is
spiritual death). They will have to know Yah fully.
Not some of them but all of them, Yah said the dry
bones were the whole house of Israel. This prophecy is being FULFILLED now as
we speak, the flesh is now upon the dry bones and the wind is blowing breath
into them. WE WILL BECOME A MIGHTY RIGHTEOUS ARMY STANDING STRONG ON OUR FEET,
EXECUTING THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OF YAH THROUGHOUT THE EARTH.
There you have it I hope you the reader have gotten
understanding about this prophecy. May Yah bless you with understanding
