The Valley of Dry Bones 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 thevalley which was full of bones, *The Dry Bones symbolize decay, & death, & “hopelessness”
In The Midst of the Valley of Despair Psalms 6:1-4 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. Psalms 22:14-15 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

The Holocaust (WWII) Perhaps Nothing in the history of the Jewish people symbolizes the “Valley of Dry Bones” more vividly than the pictures of The Holocaust Photos from WW II archives showing massive graves of bones and skeletons of thousands of Jewish corpses. Surely no people dared hope to emerge as a nation from these pits. Satan Tries Again to Annihilate the Jewish Remnant
The “Jewish Problem” & The Final Solution Conspiracy The target: European countries and their Jewish populations, a page from the protocol of the Wannsee Conference held in January 1942. The meeting took place in a Berlin suburb to coordinate the "Final Solution," the killing of all Jews in Europe - between the SS and all German ministries involved.(Total 8,000,000) The Solution later called for Jewish extermination in the Arab Middle East……………….(Haj Al amin Husseini)

One third of Jews survived the Final Solution and formed the Zionist State of Israel. But, Israel has not yet learned to cry, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” (Matthew 33:39) Jesus will rescue Israel, when Israel finally turns to him.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you. Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof. As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.

Israel and The Fig Tree Revelation 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. Mark 11:20-22 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
The Fig Tree Analogy Ezekiel 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. (The Lord is presently “performing” the miracle of the Fig Tree before the nations.)

May 14, 1948 Israel is reborn, Physically • On May 14, 1948, at 4:00 p.m., an historic event was about to occur. The leaders of the Jewish community in what was then called Palestine gathered in the Tel Aviv Museum on Rothschild Blvd., Tel Aviv, to declare the establishment of an old/new country - the STATE OF ISRAEL. • Israel reborn, but only Physically

US President Truman “Recognized” Israel’s Birth America, a Judeo-Christian nation, was at the zenith of its world power when God moved to restore Israel into the Promised Land. God blessed the USA in order to bless Israel, and the same curse or blessing remains fundamental in God’s plans.

Eventually it will bring all nations together against God’s chosen people, and her true King.

Can These Bones Live? God’s Prophetic Word Says They Can
Can a nation be born in a day? Can an evil infested world be saved?
