Can These Bones Live? An Anaylis of Ezekiel 37:1-14

When one interprets the Bible from a purely human perspective, they do so based upon that which is commonly referred to as the laws of nature and science's insistence of the use of empirical data. To do so however, forces mankind to rely upon their limited abilities, knowledge and experiences. On the other hand, when one approaches Scripture embracing a belief in God Almighty, the Sovereign Creator of the universe, they have a completely different compass to guide them. 

     From Ezekiel's vantage point as the "son of man" (emphasizing his human origin), he would have recognized the impossibility of these bones being resurrected. As a member of humanity he would have undoubtedly sided with many of today's scientists, historians, physicians, sociologists, and archeologists. However, as an Israeli priest and prophet, he had ample first hand experience with Adonai Elohim (the Lord Almighty). Ezekiel had exhibited unwavering belief and faith in God's attributes. He had total trust in God's ability to accomplish that which is outside of the "laws of nature" if He so chose to do so.
