This is what the Lord Jehovah says: 'On the day that I cleanse you from all your wickedness, I will cause your cities to be lived in again, and your ruins will be rebuilt. The wasteland will be cultivated. It will no longer remain empty for everyone passing by to see. People will say: This wasteland has become like the Garden of Eden. The cities were destroyed. They were empty and ruined, but now they are fortified and have people living in them. The surrounding nations that are left will know that I, Jehovah, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted crops in the land that was empty. I, Jehovah, have spoken, and I have done it.' This is what the Lord Jehovah says: 'I will also let the people of Israel ask me to make them as numerous as sheep. They will be like the sheep for sacrifices, like the sheep in Jerusalem during the appointed festivals. Their ruined cities will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am Jehovah.'

The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of Jehovah and set me down in the middle of the valley. The valley was full of bones. He caused me to pass among them round about. There were very many on the surface of the valley and they were very dry. He said to me: Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, O Lord Jehovah, you know.read more.
Again he said: Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. The Lord Jehovah says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. 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. You will know that I am Jehovah.' So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling. The bones came together, bone to its bone. I looked, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them. But there was no breath in them. Then Jehovah said to me: Prophesy to the wind (ruach: air, breath, spirit, life)! Prophesy, son of man. Tell the wind, this is what the Lord Jehovah says: 'Come from the four winds, O Breath, and breathe on these people who were killed so that they will live.' So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath of life entered them. Then they came to life and stood on their feet. There were enough of them to form a very large army. Jehovah also said: Son of man, all the people of Israel are like these bones. The people say: Our bones are dry, and our hope has vanished. We are completely destroyed. Prophesy and tell them: 'This is what the Lord Jehovah says: My people, I will open your graves and take you out of them. I will bring you to Israel. Then, my people, you will know that I am Jehovah, because I will open your graves and bring you out of your graves.' I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I, Jehovah, have spoken, and I have done it,' declares Jehovah. Jehovah spoke his word to me again: Son of man, take a stick and write on it: For Judah and for the Israelites who are associated with it.' Then take another stick and write on it: 'The stick of Ephraim, for Joseph and for all the people of Israel associated with it.' Then join both sticks together so that they will be one in your hand. Your people will say to you: Tell us what you mean by this.' Then say to them: 'This is what the Lord Jehovah says: I will take Joseph's stick, which is in Ephraim's hand, and the tribes of Israel associated with it, and I will put them with Judah's stick. I will make them into one stick. They will be one in my hand.' When you hold the sticks in your hand, let the people see them. Tell them: 'The Lord Jehovah says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from everywhere and bring them to their own land. I will form them into one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel. One king will rule all of them. They will no longer be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer dishonor themselves with their idols, with their detestable things, or with their rebellious acts. I will forgive them for all the times they turned away from me and sinned. I will cleanse them so that they will be my people, and I will be their God. My servant David will be their king. All of them will have one shepherd. They will live by my rules, and they will obey my laws. They will live in the land that I gave my servant Jacob, the land where their ancestors lived. They, their children, and their grandchildren will live in it for a very long time. My servant David will be their prince for a very long time. I will promise them peace. This will be a long lasting promise. I will establish them and make them increase in number. I will put my holy place among them for a very long time. My dwelling place will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Then the nations will know that I, Jehovah, have set Israel apart as holy, because my holy place will be among them permanently.'

It will be at that day, said Jehovah; you will call me 'husband' (Ishi). You will no longer call me my 'master' (ba'ali). For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no more be mentioned by their name.

The word of Jehovah of Hosts came to me. Jehovah of Hosts said: I am zealous for Zion with great ardor, and I am very zealous for her with great rage. Jehovah of Hosts said: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem will be called the city of truth and the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts, the holy mountain.read more.
Jehovah of Hosts said: Old men and old women walk with the help of canes in the streets of Jerusalem. They sit in the city square. The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing there in the streets. Jehovah of hosts proclaims: If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes? Said Jehovah of Hosts. Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Behold! I will save my people from the land of the east and from the land of the west. I will bring them and they will live in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness! Jehovah of hosts said: Let your hands be strong you who hear these words from the mouth of the prophets. These are words from the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of Hosts was laid. It was for the purpose of building the Temple. Before those days, there was no wage for man or beast. The enemy set everyone against his neighbor and going or coming there was no peace. I will not treat the remnant of this people the same as it was in the former days, said Jehovah of Hosts. There will be peace for the seed. The vine will give its fruit. The ground will yield its increase. The heavens will offer their dew and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things! You were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel. I will save you! You will be blessed. Do not fear! Be strong! Jehovah of hosts said: I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to anger. I have not relented, Said Jehovah of Hosts. I have again purposed to do good to Jerusalem and the house of Judah. Do not fear! These are the things that you should do. Every man should speak the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates (towns). Let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor. Do not love a false oath (perjury): for all these are things that I hate, said Jehovah.

I set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. This is because of the blood of your covenant! Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. I declare today: I shall repay you a double portion. I bend as my bow, Judah. I filled the bow with Ephraim! I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.read more.
Jehovah will be seen over them. His arrow will go forth like lightning! The Sovereign Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet and will go with windstorms of the south. Jehovah of Hosts will defend them! They will devour and trample on the sling stones. They will drink and be boisterous with the wine. They will be filled like the sacrificial basins by the corners of the altar. Jehovah their God will save them in that day like the flock of his people. They will be like the stones in a crown lifted high over his land. How great is his goodness! How great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

I do not want you to be ignorant of this secret, lest you should be wise in your own conceits (estimation). Blindness has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the nations comes in. In this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: The deliverer will come out of Zion and will remove ungodliness from Jacob. For this is my covenant with them, when I shall take away their sins.

This is according to the eternal purpose (determination) (design) (arrangement) that He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord. We have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him. So I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations for you, for they are your glory.
