TSK - EZEKIEL 37
PREVIOUS CHAPTER - NEXT CHAPTER - HELP
1 By the resurrection of dry bones,
11 the dead hope of Israel is revived.
15 By the uniting of two sticks,
18 is shewn the incorporation of Israel into Judah.
21 The promises of Christ's kingdom.
VERSE 1
- hand.
In this vision, the dry bones aptly represent the ruined and
desperate state of both Israel and Judah; and the
revivification of these bones signifies their restoration to
their own land after their captivity, and also their recovery
from their present long dispersion. Although this is the
primary and genuine scope of the vision, yet the doctrine of
a general resurrection of the dead may justly be inferred
from it; for "a simile of the resurrection," says Jerome,
after Tertullian and others, "would never have been used to
signify the restoration of the people of Israel, unless such
a future resurrection had been believed and known; because no
one attempts to confirm uncertain things by things which have
no existence."

This is a pointed allusion to the resurrection; under which
figure Isaiah (ch. 9 26:9) also describes the restoration of
the house of Israel, when he says, "thy dead men shall live;"
at which time their bones are said to flourish, (ch. 14 66:14,)
or to be restored to their former strength and vigor; and,
in like manner, St. Paul, (Ro 11:15,) expresses their
conversion by "life from the dead." In the land of their
captivity, they seemed as absolutely deprived of their
country as persons committed to the grave are cut off from
the land of the living; but when Cyrus issued his
proclamation, Jehovah, as it were, opened their graves, and
when he stirred up their spirits to embrace the proffered
liberty, he put his Spirit within them, that they might live;
and their re-establishment in their own land evinced the
truth of God in the prediction, and his power in its
accomplishment.

It is evident that the grand union of Israel and Judah here
predicted, and their government under one king, and that king
to be David, must still be future; for, politically speaking,
they never had a king from that day to this, far less a king
or prince of that name. (See on ch. 23 34:23.)
