CHANGE

Clouds do not stand still

Trees bloom, then shed their leaves
Tides come to shore, then retreat
Nights follow day
which in turns follows night
Life is a constant cycle
ever changing
yet never changing
and we are a part of it all
We will be here for a time
but only until our time is done
We have only just so much time
to make our mark
so that we are worth remembering
We should realize that we
are as important
as the clouds, the tides
and the seasons
We have our place
and must play our part
as best we can
in life's ever-unfolding story.
- Rhoda-Katie Hannan -

Ecclesiastes 3 King James Version (KJV)

3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

I won't go back w/ reprise and lyrics

Lamentations 3:21-23
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Carrie Underwood - Change (lyrics on screen)

WINDOWS OF GOD

There is a legend that has often been told
Of the boy who searched for the Windows of Gold.
The beautiful windows he saw far away
When he looked in the valley at sunrise each day.

And he yearned to go down to the valley below
But lived on a mountain covered with snow,
And he knew it would be a difficult trek,
But that was a journey he wanted to make.

So he planned by day and he dreamed by night
Of how he could reach The Great Shining Light.
And one golden morning when dawn broke through
And the valley sparkled with diamond of dew.

He started to climb down the mountainside
With the Windows of Gold as his goal and his guide.
He traveled all day and, weary and worn,
With bleeding feet and clothes that were torn.

He entered the peaceful valley town
Just as the Golden Sun went down.
But he seemed to have lost his "Guiding Light,"
The windows were dark that had once been bright.

And hungry and tired and lonely and cold
He cried, "Won't You Show Me The Windows of Gold?"
And a kind hand touched him and said, "Behold!
High On The Mountain Are The Windows of Gold."

For the sun going down in a great golden ball
Had burnished the windows of his cabin so small,
And the Kingdom of God with its Great Shining light,
Like the Golden Windows that shone so bright.

Is not a far distant place, somewhere,
It's as close to you as a silent prayer,
And your search for God will end and begin
When you look for Him and find Him within.

Lee Greenwood - The Battle Hymn of the Republic

DECLARATION:
SATAN YOU AND YOUR OPPRESSING DEMONS ARE A TEMPORARY SITUATION
BY MY RESISTANCE THE BIBLE SAYS YOU MUST FLEE FROM ME!

DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, today I calmly WALK THROUGH with you what ever may come my way.
This morning, I have willingly picked up my cross in preparation for any and all sorrows or joys you may allow to come my way.
Though trials may come I want to steadily advance with you WALKING THROUGH it all by my side.
Thank you Lord, I truly do recall the many times you have WALKED THROUGH SHADOWS OF DARKNESSES that were punching at me and often knocking me down as fear tried to overtake me -- the auto accidents, the illnesses, the griefs, the regrets, and also my lonely and lost times I forgot you or couldn't accept or trust your love to lead me in righteousness!
Lead on now this day Lord, though there may be plots of evil or wolfs prowling and trying to devour me, I know from past victories that the protection of your staff will drive them away and we will walk together tending others (lost or hurt) and adding others who want to come along to join your flock.
It will be a good day because we won't be stopped along the way by any enemies, dangers, or fears -- WE SIMPLY WILL WALK THROUGH ONE MORE LOVELY DAY TOGETHER.
AMEN

"The VALLEY OF SHADOW OF DEATH may denote THE MOST severe and TERRIBLE AFFLICTION, or dark dispensation of providence, that the psalmist ever could come under. Between the part of the flock on earth and that which is gone to heaven, death lies like a dark valley that must be passed in going from one to the other. But even in this there are words which lessen the terror. IT IS BUT A SHADOW OF DEATH: THE SHADOW OF A SERPENT WILL NOT STING, NOR THE SHADOW OF A SWORD KILL.
It is a valley, deep indeed, and dark, and miry; but valleys are often fruitful, and so is death itself fruitful of comforts to God's people.
IT IS A WALK THROUGH it: they shall not be lost in this valley, but get safe to the mountain on the other side."

Psalm 23 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

PSALM 23
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

4 Yea, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
I WILL FEAR NO EVIL;
FOR YOU ARE WITH ME;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

"In Acts chapter 4, Peter prayed: 29 “Now, Lord, look upon their threats, and GRANT to Your servants that with all BOLDNESS THEY MAY SPEAK YOUR WORD. 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.”
Acts 4:31 “And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and THEY SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD WITH BOLDNESS.”
Not only were they filled with the Holy Spirit and boldness, but God answered their prayer for miracles. In the next chapter, the very shadow of Peter was healing the masses. (Acts 5:15-16)"

STONES AND SLINGS

Some things in life are TARGET PRACTICE to train for the major event -- David slew a lion and a bear (for his own life's benefit) -- TO PREPARE -- so that he was bold in confidence and accurate in aim TO TAKE DOWN THE BIG GUY WHEN CALLED IN HIS HEART TO STEP FORTH for the benefit of many!
THEN the VICTORY MIRACLE WAS EVIDENT as advancement took place before the troops on behalf of all in the kingdom.

"FOCUS ON GIANTS YOU'LL STUMBLE,
BE HUMBLE,
FOCUS ON GOD SO YOUR GIANTS TUMBLE"

GOD HAS VICTORY STONES FOR EVERY GOLIATH COMING AGAINST YOU.
SMOOTH STONES
NAMED FAITH, CONFIDENCE, BELIEF, TRUST, COURAGE.

Chris Tomlin: "Your Heart (DAVID)" - Official Lyric Video

Goliath’s Challenge

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+17&version=AMP

1 Samuel 17
45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I COME TO YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted. 46 This day the Lord will hand you over to me, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. And I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and THAT THIS ENTIRE ASSEMBLY MAY KNOW THAT THE LORD DOES NOT SAVE WITH THE SWORD OR WITH THE SPEAR; FOR THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S and He will hand you over to us.”

48 When the Philistine rose and came forward to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49 David put his hand into his bag and took out a stone and slung it, and it struck the Philistine on his forehead. The stone penetrated his forehead, and he fell face down on the ground.

50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck down the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand.

RAPTURE -- BLINK OF AN EYE

"Let me tell you something wonderful, a mystery I’ll probably never fully understand. We’re not all going to die—but we are all going to be changed. You hear a blast to end all blasts from a trumpet, and in the time that you look up and BLINK YOUR EYES —it’s over. On signal from that trumpet from heaven, the dead will be up and out of their graves, beyond the reach of death, never to die again. At the same moment and in the same way, we’ll all be changed. In the resurrection scheme of things, this has to happen: everything perishable taken off the shelves and replaced by the imperishable, this mortal replaced by the immortal. Then the saying will come true:

Death swallowed by triumphant Life!
Who got the last word, oh, Death?
Oh, Death, who’s afraid of you now?

It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power. But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three—sin, guilt, death—are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God!"
1 Corinthians 15:52-57 The Message (MSG)

“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.” Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” Jesus *said to him, “I AM THE WAY, and the truth, and the life; no one comes TO THE FATHER but through Me." John 14:1-6

The Glorious Return
Matthew 24:29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

"We all have a personal pool of quicksand inside us where we begin to sink and need friends and family to find us and remind us of all the good that has been and will be."

OVERCOMER

WE ALL WANT TO BE CALLED AN OVERCOMER

WE JUST DON'T WANT ANY BIG OBSTACLES TO TEST OUR OVERCOMING ABILITY !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8VoUYtx0kw&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR3wKsPl39Cay5AQOs0i1_OU8T2bsRJoHJLXn1Ss4sI3DR-OpYA9gz5YtoQ

Mandisa - Overcomer

"Like the parable of the prodigal son, know that the Heavenly Father truly cares about you and wants you to return. He does not post an angelic guard to keep out your prayers and your heart’s cry. When the Lord hears you calling out to Him, He will respond positively to you.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8)

Do not let anything hold you back from God and His forgiveness and grace. Don’t let the pleasures of sin deceive you. In time, sin will bring you pain. Also, do not let doubt or guilt hold you back, for He promises you:

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

The Lord’s mercies are new every morning, but do not assume that you are promised tomorrow. Pray to the Lord now.

After you have called upon the Lord and asked for His forgiveness, believe His promise to forgive you. He will surely cleanse you of your sins and restore you to fellowship with Him. Let His Spirit touch your heart and bring healing to your soul.

If you hurt people while you were backslidden, then ask them for forgiveness. Do what you can to repair any damage you may have caused in other people’s lives. Seek healing and reconciliation of broken or injured relationships.

Learn from the mistakes you made that led to backsliding, and determine to not repeat those mistakes. Ask the Lord for wisdom in how to live faithfully as an overcomer."

1 John 2:13
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

1 John 5:5
Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Revelation 2:7
'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches To him who OVERCOMES, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.'

Revelation 2:17'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches To him who OVERCOMES, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.'
Revelation 2:26
'He who OVERCOMES, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;
Revelation 3:5
'He who OVERCOMES will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
Revelation 3:12
'He who OVERCOMES, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
Revelation 3:21
'He who OVERCOMES, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Revelation 12:11

"And they OVERCOME him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.
1 John 5:4-5
For whatever is born of God OVERCOMES the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Revelation 2:11
'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches He who OVERCOMES will not be hurt by the second death.'

ANOINT -- RIGHT TOE, RIGHT EAR, RIGHT THUMB

"Believers are priests, too. Peter says believers are “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9). So what happened to the Old Testament priests is for our learning.
Believers should use their redeemed ears for the Lord. They need to hear the Lord speak, which He does through His Word.
Believers should use their redeemed thumbs (hands) for the Lord. They need to serve the Lord. As Paul says believers are to “through love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13).
Believers should use their redeemed big toe (feet) for the Lord. They need to walk by means of the Holy Spirit so that they do not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).
Believers are to hear the Word of God, walk in the truth of the Word by depending on the Holy Spirit, and serve the Lord through love by serving people, not to be cleansed from sin, but because they have been cleansed by the blood of Christ.
Because the Lord has been merciful and gracious to us, we should present out bodies, our ears, our thumbs, and our toes, as living sacrifices to the Him (Romans 12:1)."
G. Michael Cocoris

"Moses would then apply anointing oil, which is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, over the blood on the priests right ear, right thumb, and right toe. 

This is symbolic of the Holy Spirit responding to the blood and giving us the strength to keep our minds pure, our work holy, and our walk righteous."

GRAY HAIR -- OLD AGE

Psalm 71

9 DO NOT CAST ME AWAY WHEN I AM OLD;
do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies speak against me;
those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 They say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue him and seize him,
for no one will rescue him.”
12 Do not be far from me, my God;
come quickly, God, to help me.
13 May my accusers perish in shame;
may those who want to harm me
be covered with scorn and disgrace.

14 As for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.

15 MY MOUTH WILL TELL OF YOUR RIGHTEOUS DEEDS,
of your saving acts all day long—
though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 EVEN WHEN I AM OLD AND GRAY,
do not forsake me, my God,
TILL I DECLARE YOUR POWER TO THE NEXT GENERATION,
your mighty acts TO ALL WHO ARE TO COME.

Deuteronomy 34:7
Moses was 120 years old when he died, but his eyesight hadn’t failed and his strength hadn’t diminished

Isaiah 46:4
I will be your God throughout your lifetime -- until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.

Psalm 92:14-15
14 They will bear fruit into old age;
even in winter, they will be green and full of sap
15 To display that the Eternal is righteous.
He is my rock, and there is no shadow of evil in Him

‘And it shall be in the last days,’ says God,
‘That I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind;
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see [divinely prompted] visions,
And your old men shall dream [divinely prompted] dreams;
Act 2:17

Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.

'You know' he said, 'I am 87 years old and I have never
Driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?'

The driver said, 'No problem. Have at it.'

Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap.

The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone.

The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo then got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure. The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving.

He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor. 'I know we are supposed to enforce the law.... but I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person.'

The supervisor asked, 'Is it the governor?'

The young trooper said, 'No, he's more important than that.'

The supervisor said, 'Oh, so it's the president.'

The young trooper said, 'No, he's even more Important than that.'

After a moment,the supervisor finally asked, 'Well then, who is it?'

The young trooper said, 'I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!'

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder... She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: 'Stop! Acts 2:38'

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: 'Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture at you.'
'Scripture?' replied the burglar.. 'She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!'


*** Acts 2:38 Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ , so that your sins may be forgiven. ***

DISTURB THE CONSCIENCE

A DISTURBED MAN IN THE BIBLE
The Rich and the Kingdom of God
Mark:10:17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’ ”
20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 AT THIS THE MAN'S FACE FELL. HE WENT AWAY SAD, because he had great wealth.
23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “HOW HARD IS IS FOR THE RICH TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD!"
24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, HOW HARD IS IS FOR THE RICH TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD! 25 IT IS EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE THAN FOR THE RICH TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”
26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With human beings this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
28 Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

GOD'S LOVE -- CASTING LOVE

"LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind and is not jealous; LOVE does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

LOVE never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, LOVE, abide these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE."
1 Corinthians 13:4-13

CAST LOVE

CAST ALL YOUR CARE

on him:

for he careth for you.

MARANTHA -- COME LORD JESUS

“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.” Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” Jesus *said to him, “I AM THE WAY, and the truth, and the life; no one comes TO THE FATHER but through Me."

John 14:1-6

Brothers and sisters, we DO NOT WANT YOU TO BE UNIFORMED about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For THE LORD HIMSELF WILL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, WITH A LOUD COMMAND, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. After that, WE WHO ARE STILL ALIVE and are left WILL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER with them in the clouds TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR. And so we will be with the Lord forever." Therefore ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

SPOOKY STUFF HAPPENED
Matthew 27:50-54
"When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and THE TOMBS BROKE OPEN. The BODIES OF MANY HOLY PEOPLE WHO HAD DIED WERE RAISED TO LIFE. THEY CAME OUT OF THE TOMBS after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”

Vision of the VALLEY OF DRY BONES
Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and lo, they were very dry. 3 He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, You know.” 4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, ‘O DRY BONES, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD.’ 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones, ‘Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. 6 I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the Lord.’”

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. 9 Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life.”’” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

The Vision Explained
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope has perished. We are completely cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will open your graves and 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 put My 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.’”
