The Men from the Master read from Ezekiel 37 during their Executive Meeting on Monday. This passage really moved your scribe, who attended that forum, and our chairman's Giyani Matampi's, interpretation of the scripture drove home the lesson, if it needed driving, that we have to let the spirit rule our lives and in everything we do.T he focus of Men for the Master now moves to the spiritual well being of our flock.
Here is a synopsis of Ezekiel 37 from E-Sword : "The Vision of the Dry Bones."
"This chapter treats of the same subject with the preceding, in a beautiful and significant vision. Under the emblem of the open valley being thickly strewed with very dry bones is represented the hopeless state of the Jews when dispersed throughout the provinces of the Chaldean empire. But God, contrary to every human probability, restores these bones to life, thereby prefiguring the restoration of that people from the Babylonish captivity, and their resettlement in the land of their forefathers, Eze_37:1-14. The prophet then makes an easy and elegant transition to the blessedness of the people of God under the Gospel dispensation, in the plenitude of its manifestation, when the genuine converts to Christianity, the spiritual Israel, shall be no longer under the domination of heathen and anti-christian rulers, but shall be collected together into one visible kingdom, and constitute but one flock under one Shepherd, Eze_37:15-28. The vision of the dry bones reviving is considered by some as having a remote view to the general resurrection."
From E-Sword, the PC Bible.
