In Ezekiel, we read this very important passage:
\nEzekiel 37:3-4And He said to me, \u201cSon of man, can these bones live?\u201d So I answered, \u201cO Lord God, You know.\u201d Again He said to me, \u201cProphesy to these bones, and say to them, \u2018O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!\n
\n
Ezekiel 37:7-8So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.\n
\n
This prophecy talks about when God would restore the nation of Israel, which happened May 14, 1948, when a nation was born in a day.
\nBut, it's also declaring another day.
\nThere's another day coming when in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, the Lord Jesus Christ will appear in the clouds and all around the world graves will start rattling. And out of the graves will come bodies.
\nAnd they will meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air.
\n1 Corinthians 4:16-17For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.\n
\n
And that is what today's podcast is all about.
