Zombies Are Not Real

                                                                  EZEKIEL 37:1-14

 

 

Can these bones live?  Bodies devoid of spirit are dead.  Without breath, they are just a pile of bones.  Ezekiel’s vision in chapter 37:1-14 symbolizes the plight of Israel, scattered among the nations after years of flagrant sin.  They had become like dry bones disengaged from one another.  Their exile and helplessness caused God’s name to be profaned before the heathens. Their hope was gone, unable to put themselves back together again.  God asks Ezekiel, “Can these bones live?”  In other words, “Can Israel be restored?”

We were all at one time, the walking dead, dry bones existing without hope.  We were unable to get ourselves together.  It was by God’s grace through the preaching of the Gospel that we were restored.  Just as Ezekiel prophesied to the four winds to breathe on the slain to become alive again, God will put His spirit in those who were once dead to Him.  We are born again and that gives God glory. We are not turned into Zombies.  Zombies are not real.
