Ezekiel 37:4

"He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord GOD, you know.”"

Key Reflection

Ezekiel’s response underscores his humility and trust in God's sovereignty. The question challenges the prophet to consider the seemingly impossible task of revival, while his answer reveals both his acknowledgment of the divine mystery and his reliance on God's ability to perform such a miracle.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Prophesy -Not in the sense of predicting what was to come to pass, but simply in that of speaking under the inspiration of God. InEzekiel 37:5, not “I will cause,” but I cause or am causing.
