The Vision Explained

11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the (A)whole house of Israel; behold, they say, ‘Our (B)bones are dried up and our hope has perished. We are (a)completely (C)cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will open your graves and (D)cause you to come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My people. 14 I will (E)put My (b)Spirit within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken and done it,” declares the Lord.’”
