Ez.37 : the valley of bones :
the 144 arise in the endtime
but they desire eden-life ,
then receive their Original
+ the two houses become one

 

bit different chapter setup from now on : see previous chapter

 

theme
 
… the ‘bones’ represent the 144,000 not (-yet) existing in Ezekiel’s time ;
that “they come to life – as bodies”
means that the whole company will arise in the time of the end  —
but though they do have biológical breath , they lack and desire eden-life :
 
… after this point , the main theme is “the soul VS this present body” ,
therefore
the souls of the 144 will be restored in their Original (=new body) ;
that God chose the “bones and sinews and skin” theme
was also so that we would understand ‘the Originals’ theme here ;
 
part II
is about the 144 as “the two houses (Ishral and Judah) which will become one house ,
because after their restoration they will have 1 king over them – Christ ;
 
closing (5 lines) :
… still unsure – but not crucial for the context of this chapter :
because Ez.29 -39 is a gigantic corrupted Mess , we chose first the doable chapters ,
and the closing here will depend upon the context of the other chapters
(so we left it open – for now) ;

 

corruptions : surprisingly little , though part II is worse ;
but
now as 100% restored context ;

 

Ez. 37

 

                                                                                             the ‘bones’ are the not yet awakened 144,000 :
1
[+then] – (the-) hand – (of-) IEUE – is – upon me ,
b
carrying me forth – in (the-) awareness – (of-) IEUE ,
c
and setting me down – in (the-) midst – (of a-) valley – she=which (is) – full – (of-) bones ;

 
2
and he (makes) me to pass – round about – on=in [..] (the-) (..valley..) (sbib=bqo) ,
b
and I behold – (the-) many ones – (..laying..) – upon – (the-) surface – (of the-) valley ,
c
[..] seeing – [+that] (they are-) very – dry ;

 
3
[=then] He says – to me :
b
son – (of the-) adm-man , (can) these – bones – live ? ;           [=’can the 144,000 arise ?’]
c
and I say : [=only] – you know , myLord – IEUE ;

 
4
[=then] He says – to me : prophecy (-you) – [=to] – these – bones ,
b
and say – to them : hear – (the-) word – (of-) IEUE , (you-) dry – bones :

 
5
thus – says – myLord – IEUE – to – these – bones :
b
behold ! , I – (will) enter=restore – you – [..1x..]  , and you (will) live ;

 
6
and=for I (will) place – sinews – upon you ,
b
and bring up – flesh – upon [=them] , and cover – you – (with-) skin ;
c
and=then I (will) make – you – (..to breathe..) – and=so [+that] you (will be) alive ,
d
and you [=’bones’] (will) understand – that – I (am) – IEUE ;

 
7
and=so I (am) prophecying – as [..] – I (was) instructed (-to) ,
b
and it happens – (at the-) sound – (of-) my prophecy              +
c
[=that] (the-) bones – (start to-) rattle – and come together ,
d
(one-) bone – to – (the other-) bone ;

 
8
and I look – and behold ! , sinews – and flesh – come up – on them ,
b
and – skin – covers – them – from=on (the-) upward=outside :
c
and=but – there-is-no – (..breath..) in them [-still] ;

 
                                                                                                                   9 : all of the 144 are being called :
9
[=then] He says – to me :
b
prophecy (-you) – [=about] (the-) (..breath..) – (..for them..) , son – (of the-) adm-man ,
c
and you say – to (the-) (..wind..) :                                           [d : called from all over this world]
d
thus – says – myLord – IEUE : come , (you-) breath , from – (the-) four – winds ,
e
and blow (-you) – into – these – slain=restored ones , and=so that they (will be) alive ;

 
10
[=so] I (am) prophecying – as [..] – I (was) instructed (-to) ,
b
and – (..breath..) – enters – into them , and they (are) alive ;
c
and they go stand – upon – their feet , [+as] (an-) exceedingly – great – army ;

 

part I b                                                         but the souls as the 144,000 have no eden-life …
 
next lines :
… interesting buildup  —
after so many years finally the 144 ‘come into being’ ,
now the theme shifts from bones / this body to “their soul” :

 
11
[=then] He says – to me : son – (of the-) adm-man ,
b
these – bones [=’bodies’]they=(will) become (ene=eie)        +
c
(the-) whole – house – Ishral ;                                  [<< the potential 144 in the endtime]
d
[=but] – they (will) say : our bones=soul – withers ,
e
[=for] she (is) perishing – (in this-) hope=flesh – [+which] (has) – (..+no..) – cut=[eden-] life [..] ;

 
XXXX
                                                                                                                                      theme : our Originals :
12
therefore – prophecy (-you) , and say – to them [=’souls now : not ‘bones’ !’] :
b
thus – says – myLord – IEUE :
c
I (will) open – your [=’soul’] tomb [=’this body’] ,                          [e : ‘to the other reality’]
d
and I (will make) – [..1x..] – your tomb=soul – to go up – (to-) [+my] people [=’the Originals’] ,
e
[=when] I (will) bring – you – to – [+my] (..sacred..) (ishrl=chdh)ground=mountain [‘tsiun’] ;

 
13
and you (will) understand         +
b
that=whom (ki=mi) – I – IEUE – (have) open=created – [+as] (the-) tombs=sacred ones ,
c
and=when (..+I..) (will) bring=restore – [..] your tomb=soul – (to-) my people ;

 
14
and      +
[+because] [=they] [=’Originals’] carry – my awareness – in [=them] , you (will have) [eden-] life         
b
[=when] I (will have) placed – you – [with-] in – your land=vessel ;
c
and you (will) know – that – I (will have) performed – (what-) I (have) spoken [=’here’] ,
d
(is the-) declaration – (of-) IEUE ;

 

part II                                 both houses will become one (shown to the people in 500 BC)

 

next section :
… this chapter also stárted in the 500 BC timeframe ,
now Ezekiel is first placing a sign in front of his own people ;
2.
… though the 144,000 will not exist no more as “two rivaling houses”
(the one representing feminine aspects , the other masculine – see Introduction) ,
their identification as “two” will still linger on a bit : as ‘the two witnesses’ :
 
15
[=then] – (the-) word – (of-) IEUE – becomes – to me , saying :
16
[=now] (athe=oth) , son – (of the-) adm-man ,
b
take – for you – one – stick of wood , and write – upon it :
c
[+lineup :]

‘(..+the sons..) – (..belonging to..) – (..+the house..) – Judah’ ;
d
and take – one=another – stick , and write – upon it :
e
‘(..the sons..) – (of-) Joseph – (..belonging to..) – (the-) house – Ishral’ ;

 
17
[=then] join – them – one – to (the-) one=other – [=into] – one – stick ,
b
[=so that] they become – [=as] one [-stick] – in your hand ;

 
18
and [=when] – (the-) sons – (of-) your people [=’in 500 BC’] – (will) say=see – [=it] [..] ,
b
they (will) say : (will) you – not – tell – us – what – you – (..(are) doing..) ? ;

 
                                                                                                                                                            the one house :
19
speak – to them : thus – says – myLord – IEUE :
b
[+lineup :]

behold ! , I (will) take – the stick – [+upon] which (is) – [..] (..written..)         +
c
‘(..+the sons..) – (of-) Joseph – (..belonging to..) – (the-) tribes=house – Ishral’ ,
d
and I put – [=it] – [=together with] – (the-) stick – (of the-) (..+house..) – Judah ;
e
[=for] I (will) make them – [+as] one – stick , and=as becoming – one – hand=house ;

 
20
[=then] you (will) (..show..) – (both-) sticks – [=where] you wrote – upon [..]                +
b
[=as] (..+one..) – in your hand , in their sight ;

                                                                                                                        21 : the 144 taken from earth :

 

21                                                                                                                           [21 : again : said in 500 BC]
[=then] speak – to them : thus – says – myLord – IEUE :
b
I (will) take away – (the-) sons – (of-) Ishral [=’all 144’]         +
c
from among – (the-) nations – (to-) [=where] – they (will have) wandered [..] ;
d
and I (will) gather – them – from all around [-the world] ,      [<< ‘four winds’ in part I]
e
and I (will) bring – them – to their (own-) adm-ground [=’eden’] ;

22
and I (will) make – them – to (-be) – one – nation=assembly         +
b
in (the-) [eden-] land – in=at – [+my] ishral=sacred (ishrl=chdsh) – mountain ,
c
and – one – king [=Christ] – (will) become – for all (of-) them ;             [=’Isaiah chapters etc’]
d
[lineup :]

[=then] (the-) king=sons – (will) not – (be) divided – [=in] two – nations=houses – anymore ,
e
[+but] more=(will) be – two=óne – kingdom=house ;

 
next 23 :
… the question is whether the first word in 23a must read “and” or indeed “because”   —
if it is “and” then this would merely be a subtheme ,
but “because” would explain the rivalry aspect – which was a major theme in 500 BC :
 
23
and=because – they (will) – no – longer – (be) defiled – [=by] their idol [=’present body’] ,
b
and=as – their transgression=soul (phsho=nphsh) – in their detestable image [=’this body’] ;
c
[=because] I (will have) saved – them [=’as souls’]          +
d
(out-) from [..] – their dwelling=flesh (mshb=bshr)which=as – [..] their – sin ;
e
and (..after..) – [..] I (will have) cleanse=restored – them ,
f
[..] they (will) be – my people – and I – (will) be – their – deity ;

 
closing :
 
last five lines : very corrupted :
… per other prophets , there should follow two themes now  —
a) “the 144,000 will become priests in the temple”
(possible – because some lines write ‘sanctuary’) .
b) “they will rule the eden land”
(possible – because ‘David’ is mentioned , as “the type rule over eden”) ;
 
but we can not see yet
if also the “the Jacob will be saved and dwell in the land” was added  —
that will depend upon the content (-and sequence) of the other very corrupted chapters :
