There may not be many folks within the sound of my voice who are old enough to remember the television western series, “Death Valley Days,” but I am!
The series, first aired in 1952, was set in what has been identified as the hottest place on earth in the summer, a place where dry, lifeless, parched bones are scattered, a reminder of the irreversible nature of death.
It was to such a place that the prophet Ezekiel was taken in a prophetic vision where he received a revelation of the future of national Israel and the Jewish people displayed in a strange, but vividly dramatic way.
Many people are familiar with this story of Ezekiel and the dry bones—even those who don’t know much else about the Old Testament prophets—but most are unaware of the real message contained in the story, namely that God is not finished with national Israel and the Jewish people as a whole, that their ultimate future is as amazing and miraculous as dry bones in Death Valley restored to vibrant life.
Especially now, as once again the state of Israel is surrounded by enemies bent on its destruction, it is important to turn to God’s Word for a glimpse into the future to provide strength for today. Let’s do that as we consider Ezekiel 37 in the fifth segment in this series, “True Grit, Great Glory: Studies in the Book of Ezekiel,” an episode entitled, “Lessons from Death Valley.”
