Context — The Valley of Dry Bones
10So I prophesied as He had commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.
11Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look, they are saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.’ 12Therefore prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.Cross References

And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years were complete. This is the first resurrection. |
Ezekiel 37:10 Summary
Ezekiel 37:10 is a powerful picture of God's ability to bring life to things that seem dead. Just as God commanded Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones, and they came to life, God can bring new life to us when we seem hopeless. This is similar to what Jesus did when He raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11:1-44), showing that He is the giver of life. As we trust in God's power to revive and restore us, we can stand on our feet, just like the vast army in Ezekiel 37:10, and live out our faith with confidence and hope.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'breath' represent in Ezekiel 37:10?
The 'breath' in Ezekiel 37:10 represents the life-giving Spirit of God, as seen in Genesis 2:7 where God breathed life into Adam, and in John 20:22 where Jesus breathed on the disciples to give them the Holy Spirit.
What is the significance of the army in Ezekiel 37:10?
The vast army in Ezekiel 37:10 symbolizes the restored and revived people of God, similar to the vision in Revelation 7:9-10 where a great multitude from every nation stands before the throne of God.
Is Ezekiel 37:10 only about the restoration of Israel?
While Ezekiel 37:10 does have a historical context related to the restoration of Israel, as seen in Ezekiel 37:11-12, it also has spiritual implications for all believers, as seen in Romans 11:25-26, where Paul writes about the spiritual restoration of both Jews and Gentiles.
How does Ezekiel 37:10 relate to our personal lives?
Ezekiel 37:10 reminds us that God is the giver of life and that He can revive and restore us, just as He did with the dry bones, as seen in Psalm 138:7 where David writes about God's power to revive and restore him.
