Introduction

In this 5th week of Lent, we will be looking together at Ezekiel 37:1-14. It is the story of the Valley of Dry Bones. Ezekiel is an interesting prophet to read. He was, by far, the most peculiar prophet we have in the Bible. And this is in large part because God calls Ezekiel to use dramatization and actions to demonstrate the prophetic message to those whom he prophesied. Many prophets in the Hebrew scriptures use this form of sharing prophecy, but no one as dramatic or as often as Ezekiel.
