Пророчество за възкресението – видение за поле със сухи кости

37 Силата от Господа дойде върху мене и Господ ме изведе чрез Духа Си и ме постави сред поле, пълно с кости. Той ме преведе да премина в кръг около тях и ето имаше доста много от тях по повърхността на полето и те бяха твърде сухи. Тогава Той ме попита: „Сине човешки, може ли да оживеят тези кости?“

Аз отговорих: „Господи Боже! Ти знаеш.“

А Той ми каза: „Пророкувай към тези кости и им кажи: ‘Сухи кости, чуйте словото на Господа!’ Така казва Господ Бог на тези кости: ‘Ето ще въведа във вас дух и ще оживеете. Ще поставя и сухожилия върху вас и ще направя да се появи върху вас плът, ще ви покрия с кожа и ще въведа във вас дух, и ще оживеете, и ще познаете, че Аз съм Господ’.“

И аз изрекох пророчество, както ми беше заповядано. И когато пророкувах, се чу шум и костите се приближиха една към друга – кост до кост. И като погледнах, ето на тях имаше сухожилия и плът израснала, и кожа ги покриваше отгоре, но дух у тях нямаше. Тогава Той ми каза: „Пророкувай, сине човешки, и кажи на духа: Така говори Господ Бог: ‘Ела, дух, откъм четирите посоки и духни върху тези убити, и те ще оживеят’.“ 10 (A)И аз пророкувах, както Той ми заповяда, и духът влезе в тях, и те се изправиха на краката си, твърде голяма войска.

11 Тогава Той ми рече: „Сине човешки, тези кости са целият Израилев дом. Ето те казват: ‘Изсъхнаха костите ни и загина нашата надежда. Изтръгнати сме от корен, обезнаследени.’ 12 Затова пророкувай и им кажи: ‘Така говори Господ Бог: «Ето Аз ще отворя гробовете ви и ще ви въведа в Израилевата земя. 13 И ще познаете, че Аз съм Господ, когато отворя гробовете ви и ви изведа от гробовете ви. 14 Но като вложа във вас Духа Си, ще оживеете. Тогава ще ви дам покой във вашата земя и ще познаете, че Аз, Господ, изговорих това и го извърших»’ – казва Господ.“

Обединение на двата жезъла (Израил и Юдея)

15 След това Господ отправи отново слово към мене: 16 „А ти, сине човешки, вземи си един жезъл и напиши на него: ‘На Юда и Израилевите синове, съюзени с него’. След това вземи друг жезъл и напиши на него: ‘На Йосиф’ – жезъла на Ефрем и целия Израилев дом, съюзен с него. 17 Тогава си ги съедини заедно в един и ще бъдат един в ръката ти. 18 И когато те запитат синовете на твоя народ: ‘Няма ли да ни обясниш какво означава това?’, 19 (B)отговори им: ‘Така казва Господ Бог: «Ето Аз вземам жезъла на Йосиф, който е в ръката на Ефрем и на съюзените с него Израилеви племена, и ще поставя към него жезъла на Юда, и ще направя един жезъл, и ще бъдат едно в Моята ръка».’ 20 И жезлите, на които напишеш, ще бъдат в твоята ръка пред очите им.

21 Тогава им кажи: ‘Така говори Господ Бог: «Ето Аз ще взема Израилевите синове изсред народите, при които са отишли, и ще ги събера отвсякъде, и ще ги отведа в земята им. 22 (C)В тази земя, върху Израилевите планини ще ги направя един народ и един Цар ще бъде цар над всички тях; и няма да бъдат вече два народа, нито ще бъдат занапред разделени на две царства. 23 (D)Те няма вече да се оскверняват с идолите си, нито с отвратителните си дела и разните си престъпления. Затова Аз ще ги избавя от всички места на пребиваване, където са съгрешили, и ще ги очистя, и ще бъдат Мой народ, а Аз ще бъда техният Бог.

24 (E)И Моят служител Давид ще бъде Цар над тях и Пастир на всички тях. И те ще постъпват според Моите разпоредби, ще спазват Моите заповеди и ще ги изпълняват. 25 Те ще живеят на земята, която дадох на Своя служител Яков, на която са живели предците ви. В нея те, децата им и внуците им ще живеят за вечни времена. А Моят служител Давид ще им бъде княз вечно. 26 Освен това ще сключа с тях завет за мир, вечен завет с тях, който ще им дам, ще ги умножа и ще поставя светилището Си сред тях за вечни времена. 27 (F)(G)И Аз ще пребивавам сред тях и Аз ще бъда техният Бог, и те ще бъдат Мой народ. 28 Народите ще познаят, че Аз съм Господ, освещаващ Израил, когато Моето светилище бъде сред тях вечно»’.“

37 The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Jehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. And he caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many [a]in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause [b]breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put [c]breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a [d]noise, and, behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I beheld, and, lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the [e]wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the [f]wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O [g]breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off. 12 Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people. 14 And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah.

15 The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying, 16 And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [h]for all the house of Israel his companions: 17 and join them for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand. 18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these? 19 say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them [i]with it, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand. 20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes. 21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 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; 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 [j]out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

24 And my servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in mine ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them. 25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever. 26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will [k]place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be [l]with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28 And the nations shall know that [m]I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

37 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,

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.

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

Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

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.

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

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.

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.

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,

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.

15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:

17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

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.

20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

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:

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.

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.

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.

25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

28 And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

The Valley of Dry Bones

37 The hand of the Lord was on me,(A) and he brought me out by the Spirit(B) of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley;(C) it was full of bones.(D) He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.(E)

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!(F) This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life.(G) I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.(H)’”

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath;(I) prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds(J) and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded(K) me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.(L)

11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’(M) 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.(N) 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord,(O) when I open your graves and bring you up from them.(P) 14 I will put my Spirit(Q) in you and you will live, and I will settle(R) you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.(S)’”

One Nation Under One King

15 The word of the Lord came to me: 16 “Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites(T) associated with him.(U)’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’ 17 Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.(V)

18 “When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’(W) 19 say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’(X) 20 Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on 21 and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.(Y) 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel.(Z) There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.(AA) 23 They will no longer defile(AB) themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding,[b](AC) and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.(AD)

24 “‘My servant David(AE) will be king(AF) over them, and they will all have one shepherd.(AG) They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.(AH) 25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived.(AI) They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever,(AJ) and David my servant will be their prince forever.(AK) 26 I will make a covenant of peace(AL) with them; it will be an everlasting covenant.(AM) I will establish them and increase their numbers,(AN) and I will put my sanctuary among them(AO) forever.(AP) 27 My dwelling place(AQ) will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.(AR) 28 Then the nations will know that I the Lord make Israel holy,(AS) when my sanctuary is among them forever.(AT)’”
