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.
So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them,
and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
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.
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.
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,
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.--_Ezekiel xxxvii_:
1-14.
The Testimony of Job.
For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth:
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh
shall I see God:
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not
another; though my reins be consumed within me.--_Job xix_: 25-27.
The Testimony of Daniel.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting
contempt.--_Daniel xii_: 2.
The Testimony of Luke.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when
he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and
the God of Jacob.--_Luke xx_: 37.
And as they thus spake, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them,
and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and
affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
And He said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts
arise in your hearts?
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and
see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
And when He had thus spoken, He shewed them His hands and His feet.
{45} And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He said
unto them, Have ye here any meat?
