Ezekiel is commanded to look out onto the valley below, filled with many dry bones, and is asked to predict whether the bones will be revitalized. However, when the time comes to resurrect the bones, it is Ezekiel who is tasked with reviving the bones rather than God. What could have prompted God to employ Ezekiel as His partner in the orchestration of the vision?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ezekiel was primarily a prophet of gloom and doom and the one to foretell the downfall of the nation at the hands of the Bablyonian Empire. However, after the destruction takes place, Ezekiel slowly begins easing the nation to a place of comfort and redemption through prophecies of consolation in the latter part of the book. God perhaps deliberately chooses Ezekiel to show the nation that he can lead them out of their terribly low place of despair in Exile to a new reality, the same way Ezekiel is able to take the bones from the depths of the valley and transform them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nation had a difficult time believing Ezekiel during his alarming prophecies of destruction. Perhaps on the most fundamental level, God wants to show them that Ezekiel is a partner in His process and is to be trusted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, Ezekiel once prophesied the \u201cimpossibility\u201d of the catastrophic Exile coming to fruition: where the nation could not even fathom the Babylonian conquest that was soon to come, and yet it came true. Here too, he is once again prophesying the inconceivable idea of redemption, that will soon come true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ezekiel himself is a living example for the nation, who himself is able to fully pivot from prophecies of destruction to redemption, and thus illustrates to them how it is possible to rebuild a lost world, and once again, live life after the Exile.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":75239,"id":75239,"title":"ez37-dark
