Back To The Homeland

                                        Ezekiel 37:5
                       "Thus saith the Lord God unto these
                         bones; Behold, I will cause breath
                         to enter into you, and ye shall live"

        This vision of the "Valley Of Dry Bones" was given to Ezekiel to reassure the exiles that the promises of God are secure.  After they had been away from their homeland for so long, they felt like dry bones; all their hope was gone.  Nevertheless, God affirmed that He would bring them back to their homeland from wherever they were.  This vision is explicitly concerned with God's renewal of His promises to Israel. God's spirit is placed within Israel, (Ezek 37:14), and the reign of the Messiah begins (Ezek 37:24,25).  Throughout the Bible, the Scriptures remind us that God is going to fulfill all of His promises to Israel and return them to their homeland.
         God has also made a covenant with us (Gentiles) as well.  When sin entered through Adam, all humanity became exiled from God.  Because of sin we have no hope and are as dry bones, But God, through His Grace made it possible many years ago for all mankind to reunite with Him; through,  the blood of Jesus Christ, our Savoir.  That's not all: for God has given us a Comforter; The Holy Spirit, through Him we will be renewed, we will find purpose in our life and we shall find peace.  My friends that peace will be ever lasting peace.  "Believe in Jesus Christ ," "Have Faith in God" and love one another as God loves us.
         AMEN!!
