Ezekiel 37 Resurrection Power The  Lord  took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the  Lord  to a valley filled with bones.   2  He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out.   3  Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign  Lord ,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.” 4  Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the  Lord !   5  This is what the Sovereign  Lord  says: Look!
