Ezekiel 37 presents, the vision of dry bones, where God shows Ezekiel a valley of bones, representing the spiritual death of the Israelites. These people were killed by God as a punishment for their sins, including idolatry and oppression. The vision is a metaphor for the spiritual desolation of the exiled Israelites, who felt abandoned and without hope.
God's punishment for sin is death, which can seem harsh, but it stems from human rejection of God. This rejection leads to various sins, from gossip to mass murder, showing how sin escalates from disregarding God’s commands. Tim underscores that God’s ultimate answer to sin is death, but not just physical death. It points to the death of Jesus Christ, who died for the sins of humanity.
The vision also highlights God’s mercy, as he allows the spiritually dead to live, aiming to raise them back to life through repentance and faith. This message presents that the Holy Spirit revives believers through God's Word, bringing them to repentance and faith in Jesus. The ultimate hope is the promise of eternal life and the end of death and suffering, as revealed in the book of Revelation.
