ezekiel-37:10-13-bsb

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 37:1-14

Here is, I. The vision of a resurrection from death to life, and it is a glorious resurrection. This is a thing so utterly unknown to nature, and so contrary to its principles (a privatione ad habitum non datur regressus?from privation to possession there is no return), that we could have no thought of it but by the word of the Lord; and that it is certain by that word that there shall be a general resurrection of the dead some have urged from this vision, ?For? (say they) ?otherwise it would... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:10

So I prophesied as he commanded me ,.... The second time he prophesied to the wind, as he had done to the bones, as he was ordered: and the issue of it was, and breath came into them ; or, "the spirit"; a spirit of courage in the Jews, to go up to their own land; the Spirit of life from Christ, which will enter into the witnesses slain, and revive them; and into the Jews in the latter day, and convert them; and which enters into dead sinners, and quickens them; and this he does while... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:11

Then he said unto me, son of man ,.... Here follow the explication and application of the above vision: these bones are the whole house of Israel ; an emblem of them, of their state and condition in the Babylonish captivity, and of them in their present state; and of the whole Israel of God, while in a state of unregeneracy: this phrase takes in the ten tribes, as well as the two tribes of Benjamin and Judah, which returned from Babylon; and shows that respect is had to something more... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:12

Therefore prophesy, and say unto them ,.... For their comfort, in order to revive their hope, and encourage their faith, in these distressed circumstances: thus saith the Lord, behold, O my people : they were his people still, and he had a covenant interest in them, and they in him, though in such a low estate; and which was the ground of his care of them, and concern for them, and or doing all the good things to them after mentioned; all proceeded from his covenant, and the grace of it,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:13

And ye shall know that I am the Lord ,.... See Gill on Ezekiel 37:6 , when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves ; which is doing that for them which none but the omnipotent God could do; and they seeing his hand and power, his grace and mercy in it, will know, own, and acknowledge him. read more

I will open your graves - Here is a pointed allusion to the general resurrection; a doctrine properly credited and understood by the Jews, and to which our Lord refers, John 5:25 , John 5:28 , John 5:29 ; : "The hour is coming when they that are in their graves shall hear his voice, and come forth." And cause you to come up out of your graves - I am determined that ye shall be restored; so that were ye even in your graves, as mankind at the general resurrection, yet my all-powerful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:1-12

From death to life. The primary reference Of this prophecy is placed beyond all doubt by the passage itself (see Ezekiel 37:12 ). 1. Israel was in a forlorn and hopeless condition in her dispersion and captivity; she seemed to be irrecoverably lost; as a nation she was as one dead, if not buried. 2. But God had a gracious purpose concerning her. He intended to exercise his Divine power on her behalf; the dead should be revived; the lost should be found; the scattered should be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:1-14

The valley of dry bones. I. A VISION OF RESTORATION . Undoubtedly, the restoration of Israel is the immediate thought in the mind of Ezekiel. He sees his people stricken to death. The nation is virtually dead. The exiled citizens of Jerusalem have lost all spirit and energy. But with the restoration will come a restored energy to the people. The nation also will once more rise up as from the dead. These resurrections of communities have been seen more than once in history; e . g... read more
