Ezekiel 37:5

This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.

From Background Notes [BN] for Apr 30th & May 1st written by Pastor Bob Brown:

For if the dead can rise, is not God truly for us? And if God is for us who can be against us? (see Romans 8:31).



Even more wonderfully than the vision of dry bones is the image of the New Temple whose dimensions and architecture exceed anything Israel had ever known before. So remarkable is the vision of Ezekiel 40-48 we have difficulty imagining such a future Temple unless its setting is nothing less than the whole world. Its size precludes placing it on the so-called temple mount, and so Ezekiel’s vision of this New Temple points forward, not to an ordinary Temple in earthly Jerusalem, but to God Himself whose very presence will one day fill the whole earth with overwhelming glory. This glory is the future of a restored people of God — a glory destined to unite heaven and earth in God’s New Creation. [BN,5]
