Ezequiel 37:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 37:8

And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon
them
And they began to look like men, in the shape of men, and were a body of them, as the Jews did when gathered together: and the skin covered them above;
and so looked comely and beautiful, as in the proper form of men; as did the Jews enriched and protected by Cyrus: and this may be an image of such persons so far wrought upon under the word as to look like Christians; to have the form of godliness, and appear outwardly righteous before men, submitting to ordinances, and performing the duties of religion; and yet no principle of spiritual life in them; but, like Adam's body, of the earth, earthly, and breathless, before the breath of life was breathed into it; so here, but there was no breath in them; no spirit in the Jews to return to their land, though they had liberty, till the Lord stirred up their spirits, ( Ezra 1:5 ) , all this, in a spiritual sense, shows how far persons may go under temporary convictions by the word, and yet not be living Christians.

Ezequiel 37:8 In-Context

6 'Y pondré tendones sobre vosotros, haré crecer carne sobre vosotros, os cubriré de piel y pondré espíritu en vosotros, y viviréis; y sabréis que yo soy el SEÑOR.'"
7 Profeticé, pues, como me fue mandado; y mientras yo profetizaba hubo un ruido, y luego un estremecimiento, y los huesos se juntaron cada hueso con su hueso.
8 Y miré, y he aquí, había tendones sobre ellos, creció la carne y la piel los cubrió, pero no había espíritu en ellos.
9 Entonces El me dijo: Profetiza al espíritu, profetiza, hijo de hombre, y di al espíritu: "Así dice el Señor DIOS: 'Ven de los cuatro vientos, oh espíritu, y sopla sobre estos muertos, y vivirán.'"
10 Y profeticé como El me había ordenado, y el espíritu entró en ellos, y vivieron y se pusieron en pie, un enorme e inmenso ejército.
