00:00:01 Can you imagine seeing a valley full of human bones
00:00:05 that slowly assemble themselves;
00:00:08 grow sinew, muscle, and skin;
00:00:11 and then come to life?
00:00:14 It must have made the hair on Ezekiel’s neck stand up.
00:00:19 But Jehovah gave this vision not to frighten us but to give us hope.
00:00:25 That hope is expressed in the title of chapter 10,
00:00:29 “You Will Come to Life.”
00:00:31 The statement is recorded at Ezekiel 37:5:
00:00:36 “This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says to these bones:
00:00:41 ‛I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.’”
00:00:46 This chapter will help you answer these intriguing questions:
00:00:51 Why did the exiles in Babylon say that their bones were dry?
00:00:57 In what way was the modern-day “Israel of God”
00:01:00 in a deathlike situation?
00:01:03 How did “the Israel of God” experience a gradual restoration,
00:01:07 and when did they “come to life”?
00:01:10 How do you feel about being part
00:01:13 of the “extremely large army” that Ezekiel’s prophecy foretold?
00:01:18 You are living proof
00:01:21 that the prophecy we’re about to discuss
00:01:24 has been fulfilled.
00:01:26 The Governing Body considers it a privilege
00:01:28 to serve along with you in the large army of loyal ones
00:01:33 who give Jehovah pure worship.
