Hesekiel 37:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 37:2

And caused me to pass by them round about
Round, round
F19; several times round, that he might take exact notice of them, of their number, situation, and condition: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley;
as the Jews were in captivity; and as they will be when they shall be converted; and as the number of Christians will be in the spiritual reign of Christ; and as the dead will be at the time of their resurrection, both of the just and unjust: and, lo, they were very dry;
through length of time they had lain there, exposed to wind and weather; the flesh being wholly consumed from off of them, and the marrow within quite dried up; so that there was no probability or hope, humanly speaking, of their being quickened: these are a fit emblem of men in a state of nature and unregeneracy, who have no spiritual life, but are dead in trespasses and sins; have no sense of sin or danger; no strength to redeem and regenerate themselves, or do anything that is spiritually good; have no spiritual motion; no inward desires after God, or affection to him; no lifting up of the heart to him, or going out of the soul in faith and love to Christ; but in themselves entirely lifeless, helpless, and hopeless.

Hesekiel 37:2 In-Context

1 Und des HERRN Wort kam über mich, und er führte mich hinaus im Geist des HERRN und stellte mich auf ein weites Feld, das voller Totengebeine lag.
2 Und er führte mich allenthalben dadurch. Und siehe, des Gebeins lag sehr viel auf dem Feld; und siehe, sie waren sehr verdorrt. {~}
3 Und er sprach zu mir: Du Menschenkind, meinst du auch, daß diese Gebeine wieder lebendig werden? Und ich sprach: HERR HERR, das weißt du wohl.
4 Und er sprach zu mir: Weissage von diesen Gebeinen und sprich zu ihnen: Ihr verdorrten Gebeine, höret des HERRN Wort!
5 So spricht der HERR HERR von diesen Gebeinen: Siehe, ich will einen Odem in euch bringen, daß ihr sollt lebendig werden.
