John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
hour is coming, and now is, when the dead
(spiritually dead) shall
hear the voice of the Son of God: and
they that
hear shall live.
Ezekiel 37:10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and
the breath came into them,
and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
-
Teach them and they will live.
-
Breath = spirit
-
These come out of darkness = false teaching
-
The Seal of God in their forehead = Simply by removing the deception of
false teaching and tradition of men and placing the Word of God in your
forehead.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of
Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we
are cut off for our parts.
Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the
spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was
full of bones,
-
The midst of the valley which was full of bones = these bones are
the whole house of Israel, Therefore prophesy and say unto them.
-
Ezekiel 1:3 The word of the Lord came expressly
unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the
land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and
the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were
very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
-
Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man,
these bones are the whole house of Israel:
behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our
hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will
open your graves, and cause you to come up out
of your graves, and bring you into the land of
Israel.
-
John 5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead,
and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth
whom he will.
-
Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a
father of many nations,) before him whom he
believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and
calleth those things which be not as though they
were.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered,
O Lord God, thou knowest.
-
John 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and
saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto
Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these
may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself
knew what he would do.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O
ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
-
Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man,
these bones are the whole house of Israel:
behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our
hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will
open your graves, and cause you to come up out
of your graves, and bring you into the land of
Israel.
-
Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together
with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and
sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as
the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out
the dead.
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy
chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide
thyself as it were for a little moment, until
the indignation be over past.
-
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall
hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that
hear shall live.
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath
to enter into you, and ye shall live:
-
Breath = spirit
-
Man teaches the word but it's God that seals the
truth, where you can understand the word. (Rev
7:1)
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and
cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye
shall know that I am the Lord.
-
Ezekiel 6:7 And the slain shall fall in
the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am
the LORD.
-
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of
the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living soul.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a
noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his
bone.
-
As = according as
-
Noise = voice.
-
Shaking = commotion
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and
the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man,
and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds,
O breath, and breathe (spirit) upon these slain (dead), that they may live.
-
Breathe upon these slain, that they may live =
Breathe = by resemblance spirit - the Spirit of
life from God entered into them

Revelation 11:11 And after three days and
an half the Spirit of life from God entered into
them, and they stood upon their feet; and great
fear fell upon them which saw them.
-
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and
they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto
them: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and
for the word of God, and which
had not worshipped the beast (Satan),
neither his image, neither had
received his mark upon
their foreheads, or in their hands; and
they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years.
-
Four winds = brings the end = Daniel 7
-
Revelation 7:1 And after
these things I saw four angels standing on the
four corners of the earth, holding the four
winds of the earth, that the wind should not
blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any
tree.
-
The word ''winds of the earth'',
according to the concordance, means a very devastating wind.
-
After = With the Accusative it means after,
always in connection with time
2 And I saw
another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the
living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels,
to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
The Seal of God in their forehead = Simply by removing the deception of
false teaching and tradition of men and placing the Word of God in your
forehead.
You know God's Plan, you don't have to worry about what going to
happened in the end times, because you have studied God's Words.
The truth of God's word in your forehead vs the deception of false
teaching and the tradition of man in your forehead.
3
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees,
till
we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Sea = People
The Angel is saying, Stop! Hold
Everything! Go No Further
Until the elect has sealed The
144,000 With
The Truth
Man teaches the word of God, but it's God that does the sealing in
the forehead
The mark of the beast is the opposite of
The Seal of God In Your Forehead.
Two white horses = 6th trumpet = Satan's riding the first white
horse
(Revelation 6 and Revelation19)
Do you know what happens at the 6th seal, 6th trump and 6th vial?
7,000 are the saints =
Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to
myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the
image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also
there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for;
but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and
there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all
the tribes of the children of Israel.
Revelation 7:1 = God's elect the 7,000 will have sealed the 144,000 before
the four winds are shut.
7th trump = Christ returns and He shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the
third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in
heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the
kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for
ever and ever.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them,
and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
-
Teach them and they will live.
-
These come out of darkness = false teaching
-
The Seal of God in their forehead = Simply by removing the deception of
false teaching and tradition of men and placing the Word of God in your
forehead.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of
Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we
are cut off for our parts.
-
Are = they are
-
The whole house = As distinct from "the house",
-
We are cut off for our parts = as for us, we are
quite cut off, or clean cut off.
-
These bones are the whole house of
Israel
-
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
hour is coming, and now is, when the dead
(spiritual dead to God's Word) shall
hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that
hear shall live.
Verse
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath
to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and
cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye
shall know that I am the Lord.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God;
Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up
out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
-
Prophesy unto them, teach them My Word
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves,
O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put My spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place
you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it,
and performed it, saith the Lord.
-
Shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live =
the seal of God in your forehead
-
How did they live?
-
Prophesy unto them = teach My Word
-
This happens on the Lord's Day
-
The days of the Millennial will be
the blessing of the whole earth. For
in
that day there shall be one King,
one will, "one Lord", and His
name one."
-
The Lord's day, begins the millennium. What
a time to live, God's elect are
resurrected to Immortality (deathlessness) soul alive with
Christ forever.
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord
as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day.
9 The
Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10
But the day of the Lord will come as a
thief in the night; in
the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and
the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and
the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Ezekiel 37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the
Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of
Israel from among the heathen, whither they be
gone, and will gather them on every side, and
bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land
upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall
be king to them all: and they shall be no more
two nations, neither shall they be divided into
two kingdoms any more at all:
Ezekiel 37:20 And the sticks whereon thou
writest shall be in thine hand before their
eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God;
Behold, I will take the children of Israel from
among the heathen,
whither they be gone, and will gather them on
every side, and bring them
into their own land:
22 And I will make them
one nation in the land upon
the mountains of Israel;
and one king shall be king
to them all: and
they shall be no more two nations,
neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms
any more at all:
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more
with their idols, nor with their detestable
things, nor with any of their transgressions:
but I will save them out of all their dwelling
places, wherein they have sinned, and will
cleanse them: so shall
they be My people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant
shall be king over them; and they all
shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in
my judgments, and observe
My statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have
given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your
fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell
therein, even they, and their children, and
their children's children for ever: and
my servant David shall be
their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with
them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with
them: and I will place them, and multiply them,
and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them
for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also
shall be with them: yea,
I will be their God, and they shall be My
people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do
sanctify Israel, when My
sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for
evermore.
15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it,
For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take
another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and
for all the house of Israel his companions:
-
For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take
another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph,
the stick of Ephraim
-
Ephraim was the largest tribe = Ephraim represents the house of Israel
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become
one in thine hand.
-
Join them one to another into one stick; and
they shall become one
-
This happens at the beginning of the millennium
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying,
Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick
of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his
fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and
make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
-
Make them one stick, and they shall be one in
mine hand
-
This is when Christ returns and gather all the
tribes together = The beginning of the Lord's
Day
-
I will take the stick of Joseph,
which is in the hand of Ephraim,
and the tribes of Israel
-
The stick of Judah, and
make them one stick, and they
shall be one in mine hand.
-
Many people want to put them all together, you
just read there are two houses.
-
The house of
Israel and the tribe of Judah. Judah knows who
they are, they are the Jews.
-
1 Kings 11:33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped
Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the
Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and
have
not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes,
and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his
father.
-
God told Solomon If you want My blessing, Do
Things My Ways
-
If not, don't come crying to Me
-
Look at what people do today on the most Holy Day of
the year Passover = they hunt eggs in The House
of God.
34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand:
but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my
servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments
and my statutes:
35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will
give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant
may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I
have chosen me to put my name there.
37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all
that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
Israel became two tribes = the 10 tribes and
Judah and Benjamin
Judah and
Benjamin
Samuel.8:7-22
David tribe of Judah to be King over
all Israel.
2 Samuel.7:11-17 and
Psalm 89:3-4. The Divided Kingdom
The Northern
Kingdom "Israel", 933-721 B.C.
The Southern kingdom, "Judah" 933-606 B.C.
38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command
thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my
sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my
servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure
house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus?
And she went to enquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two
nations are in thy womb, and two manner of
people shall be separated from thy
bowels; and the one people shall be stronger
than the other people; and the elder shall serve
the younger.
24 And when her days to be delivered were
fulfilled, behold, there were twins in
her womb.
25 And the first came out red, all over
like an hairy garment; and they called his name
Esau.
26 And after that came his brother out, and
his hand took hold on Esau's heel;
and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac
was threescore years old when she bare
them.

hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a
plain man, dwelling in tents.
