2  And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3  And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

13  And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

19  Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

Dry Bones

in the midst of the valley which [was] full of bones

In Ezekiel 37:1 "The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which [was] full of bones,"

That is where the people are at today.

But the Lord asked "Son of man, can these bones live?"

So what did He do?

He said:

"Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD....
Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:"


These bones were to come together with the breath of the Lord and then He would cause sinews to come upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin.

But life is not seen in that body at first when the bones are still separate... But only when your body comes together then He will bring breath into the whole body and that body will be alive too.

So they would not come alive even after they came together until there was a Prophesy unto the wind.

After the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, they became an exceeding great army.

breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, they became an exceeding great army

These bones were the whole house of Israel whose bones were dried and their hope was lost they were scattered.

This is the Church today.

The Church in general is not a building but is people who come together and receive the breath of the LORD as they Repent. They arise to be Doers of the word.

The Church was the government of God that did not exercise authority but charity and love through faith and hope according to the Perfect law of liberty.

Who can bring you into the land of Israel?

"And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:" Ezekiel 37:21

The Modern Christians have rejected God like the Israelites of 1 Samuel 8 and and have gone out of The Way following the ways of the World while professing His Name in vane.

There is need of repentance. We need to return to the ways of Christ and the early Church.

"And those who have among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son 186 Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost." Chapter LXVII.—Weekly worship of the Christians. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr.

We need to attend to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.


"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.
