It's a picture shown to Ezekiel. The bones stood for the whole house of Israel as they were scattered....dry. Then, in the vision, the form takes place.....which is what we're seeing today. They won't be filled with the Spirit until they accept their Messiah.It says that the dry bones are the whole house of Israel.
Ezek 37:11 (AKJV/PCE)
(37:11) ¶ Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
Yes, you've made this claim a number of times.
No, they do NOT have sinews and flesh. God says that He will GIVE those to the dry bones.
Ezek 37:6 (AKJV/PCE)
(37:6) And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Please demonstrate this from the scripture.
Since God gives the dry bones both flesh and breath... this appears to be more like a resurrection of the dead (i.e., the dry bones). Like this verse:
Ezek 37:12 (AKJV/PCE)
(37:12) Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
Notice the order. God brings them out of their graves and THEN brings them to the land of Israel.
Ezek 37:13-14 (AKJV/PCE)
(37:13) 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, (37:14) And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken [it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.
Again, we see that God gives them His spirit and THEN places them in their own land.
Ezek 37:21-24 (AKJV/PCE)
(37:21) 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: (37:22) And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: (37:23) Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. (37:24) And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
When God does gather them into their land, they will have a king. That is not what we saw in 1948 nor now.
This vision is being revealed by God concerning Israel's return to their land...which is what we've been watching for 75 years now. I'm not sure why you think all the bones need to be accounted for. Remember when Paul says the whole house of Israel will be saved? Clearly that is not talking about individual members.
