March 31, 2013 – Ezekiel 37

All I could picture when I was reading this is a scene in a movie where a person is walking through a land filled with bones.  The opening scenes from Terminator 2 comes to mind.  And then all the bones just floating up and forming skeletons and then flesh coming back, sort of like a scene from the newer mummy movies.  Then the breath of God coming into them (I was picturing what happened to the Nazis when they opened the ark in Raiders, but only life coming into them, not taking life from them).  I guess when it comes to these visions in prophesies, it helps to picture them like a movie because you can always add the special effects and your free to make whatever your imagination can come up with.  I still think it is interesting that some of the most visually interesting things we could probably ever come up with to watch were written by people over 2000 years before a camera or computer were invented.  The imagination inside our own minds is the tool that these visions exercise and our imagination needs more and more exercise these days when we are filling it with other people’s work.
