"Carried me out In the Spirit of tho Lord." ll'i) was Inwardly trans ported, In an ecstatic state, from the things around him.—Lange. All (the ex pressions) Indicate most conclusively that ihls was purely a prophetic vIsImi.— Cowles, "in the midst of the valley." Not uny real valley, hut one seen In the vision. "Which was full of bones." Hti'h as doubtless the prophet huu seen mare than once after the devastations of Nebuchadnezzu r. 2. "Caused mo to pass by them round about.” Through the whole collection In every direction, so that he c mid tee and realize that “there were very many (vast numbers) In the open valley.” Literally, “on the fuce” or surface of the valley, ex posed to view. “And, lo, they were very dry.” This "Is mentioned to show that they were utterly dead, und eould not be made alive by any human powor.”—Pro fessor Toy. 3. "Son of man, can these bmoa live?' Ia it possible? la there any hope? Of course to human power and human view It was Impossible. "And 1 answered, O Lord God, thou knowrnt." Thou hast powers we cannot compiehend. Nothing Is Impossible to God. Kvery day science Is revealing to us forces and powers In God's creation which have been hidden since the dawn of creation. 11. “These bones aie thu whole h iu e of Israel." The nation was dead as a nation, as dead us the dry bones In the vulli y of vision, through the destruction of the city, the sweeping out of all the principal people from the land, and by the annihilation of the temple and the whole system of religious services by the armies of Nebuchadnezzar. "Our bone.t are dried." Kach Individual was like u dry hone, far apart from thu other tunes of the man of which each hone was a part, so that they say "we are cut off for our parts," I. e., for our part, as for ui, separated from the rest; and "our hope Is lost.” They had no more hope of be coming a nation again In their own land than a dry and parched bone of becom ing a part of a living animal ugaln. 4. "Prophesy.” Not predict, hut speak God's message. "O ye dry bones, bear the word of the laird.” They were na tionally annihilated, hut each Individual could hear. They were to hear not the prophet's opinion, hut Oud'B message. 5. "Uehold. I," the laird Jehovah, the source of all power, the controller of all nations, "will cause breath to enter Into you." As Into the first man when God created him. «. "Lay sinews . . . flesh , . . . skin." 1 will restore you to the form of the perfect and complete man you once were. "And put breath In you." You shall not only have the form but the soul of a man, and h- come a living, think ing, loving acting being. “Aral ye shall know that I am the Lord." The wonder will he so great that they shall realize that no being but Jehovah could have performed the miracle. 7. “As I prophesied, there was a n ilse." "Thundering," or the rustling or rattling of the hones as they came together. "A shaking,” It. V., an earthquake, as nt the resurrection of Christ. "Hines came together," 1. c., those which belonged to one body; while "bone to his bone" specializes a single hone In relation to an other.—Lange. 12. "I will open your graves." The figure Is slightly varied here. The nailon Is regarded as dead and burled, but thera shall he a resurrection as wonderful ui the raising of a body hurled for a long time. This marks the mervelousness of the return from Babylon. 8. "The sinews and the flesh came up upon them." This corresponds to the words In v. 12, "and bring you into thi land of Israel.” When the exiles should return to their own land, rebuild Jeru salem, restore the temple and Its wor ship, ami set up a government, then they would be like the scattered bones coming together, clothed in flesh, and having the form of a man. It would he a resurrec tion from the dead. "Hut the e was no breath In them." As yet it was only a form. There was need of a new spirit, a new life, before the rertoratlon would be perfect. "First the naturul, then the spiritual." 9. "Prophesy unto the wind.” The sains word Is used for wind, and breath, and spirit, ns In the New Testament. The spirit of life was needed, a spirit of wor ship, of obedience, of faith, of courage, before they c uld really be alive spirit ually to God. and continue as a nation. 'I bus in v. 14 he says, "I shall pul my Spirit In you. Come from the four winds." "A symbol of the universal life-giving Spirit of God "—Cambridge Bible. All the forms and manifestations of God s Spirit would be Inspired within them for life, faith, wisdom, worship, love; the divine life Interpenetrating every part of the nation. 10- "The,, lived . . . an exceeding great army," Tin- nation, on Its return, was Inspired with m w life. Kzra s time was one of great religious and literary activity. The Bible then became a new hook And though the nation declined, yet In Christ there was a pew gruff In the old stock, so that now the kingdom of God, which the returned exiles rep- a rented, has Indeed already become "an exceeding great army." the greatest king dom now un the earth.
