EZEKIEL CHAPTER 37
By the resurrection of dry bones the revival of the lost hope of Israel is prefigured, Eze_37:1-14. By the uniting of two sticks is showed the incorporation of Israel with Judah, Eze_37:15-19. Their blessings in union under Christ their king, Eze_37:20-28.
The hand; either the prophetic Spirit, as Eze_1:3 8:1, moving him to prophesy by this emblem; or else the Spirit of God carrying him visionally, not corporeally, as in Eze 8, into such a prospect or landscape.
In the spirit; either in the power of the Spirit of God, or it may refer to the prophet’s own spirit, he was in his spirit, or mind and apprehension.
Set me down; so it seemed to me in the vision, that I was set gently down.
In the valley; it is vain to inquire what valley this should be, which was visional, not corporeal or real.
Full of bones: it is as vain to inquire whose bones these were, they are visional, and hieroglyphics of Israel’s present condition.
