In this vision, a great valley is seen, filled with dry bones, said to be the "whole house of Israel" (37:11). The main lesson of the vision is the restoration of God's people. He takes them from among the heathen and gathers them out of all countries through which, as bones without flesh, they have been scattered. It is a picture also of the power of god to raise those who have not only been scattered, but dead in sins. This "new birth" was explained to Nicodemus. God promises it here to
Israel. They are to be brought forth, filled with god's Spirit, and brought to their land.
