"The HAND of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me
out in the SPIRIT of the LORD and set me down in the midst
of the valley; and it was full of bones.
The Vision of the Valley of the Dry Bones
(1866)
Paul Gustave Dore
(1832-1883)
French artist
And He caused me to pass round among them, and behold,
there were very many human bones in the open valley or plain,
and behold, they were very dry.
And He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"
And I answered, "O Lord God, You know!"
Again He said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say
to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord."
Thus says the Lord God to these bones: "Behold, I will
cause breath and spirit to enter you, and you shall live.
And I will lay sinews upon you and bring up flesh
upon you and cover you with skin, and I will put
breath and spirit in you, and you dry bones shall live
and you shall know, understand, and realize that I am
the Lord, the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth
loyalty and obedient service."
So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied,
there was a thundering noise and behold, a shaking and trembling
and rattling and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
And I looked and behold there were sinews upon the bones
and flesh came upon them and skin covered them over,
but there was no breath or spirit in them.
Then said He to me, "Prophesy to the breath and spirit,
son of man, and say to the breath and spirit, Thus says
the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath and
spirit, and breathe upon these slain that they may live."
So I prophesied as He commanded to me and the breath
and spirit came into the bones and they lived and stood up
upon their feet, an exceedingly great host.
Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the
whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are
dried up and our hope is lost; we are completely cut off.
Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord God:
Behold, I will open your graves and cause you to come up
out of your graves, O My people; and I will bring you
back home to the land of Israel."
Ezekiel 37:1-12*

Just in time for Rosh Hashanah, which begins tonight
at sundown, a fascinating account of Israel's restoration
and her fascinating role in biblical prophecy...
and her fascinating role in biblical prophecy...
In his book, "Israel Rising" author Doug Hershey documents the fulfillment
of this vision, from the hills of Shiloh where shepherds once roamed,
to the booming city of Tel Aviv, founded on sand dunes, to the stellar
beaches of Caesarea, transformed from a small village into one
of Israel's most stunning coastal cities and finally Jerusalem, the
Eternal City of Peace, where in ancient times, the power of
worship resounded from the Temple.
In rarely seen photographs taken between the 1880's and the 1940's
juxtaposed with contemporary images of the same locations illustrate
the region's biblical history as a place of monumental battle,
celebration, worship, and awesome resilience."-SkyWatch TV
Israel's Amazing Role In Prophecy Gloriously
Laid Out By Doug Hershey!

*No person needs to be reminded of the startling way in which this
(Ezekiel's) prophecy has been in the process of fulfillment since World War II.
The Jews have for centuries been dispersed among all the nations with only
a few left in the homeland which lay waste and desolate. It was said that
travelers in Palestine (like author Mark Twain's account in his book,
"Innocents Abroad") had no difficulty in recognizing the appropriateness
of Ezekiel's label for the country: "a valley...full of bones." (Ezek.37:1)
But by A.D. 1960 one-sixth of the Jewish population of the world
was in (the region) of Palestine. Already they had been made
"one nation" (Ezek.37:22)-between sunrise one day and sunset of
the next-"a nation was born in a day"! (Isaiah 66:8)
But the greatest event of all is yet to come. (Ezek. 37:22-25)
This prophecy will be fulfilled in its entirety.
