The Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones is a prophecy chapter in the Book of Ezekiel. The chapter details a vision revealed to the prophet Ezekiel, conveying a dream-like realistic-naturalistic depiction. In his vision the prophet sees himself standing in the valley full of dry human bones. He is commanded to carry a prophecy. Before him the bones connect into human figures, then the bones become covered with tendon tissues, flesh and skin. Then God reveals the bones to the prophet as the People of Israel in exile and commands the Prophet to carry another prophecy in order to revitalize these human figures, to resurrect them and to bring them to the Land of Israel. This prophecy describes God's determination to once again bring the nation of Israel back into its land and restore it to a powerful nation. The Israelites will be gathered from the four winds of the earth. Israel will be revived from being a dead nation. This prophecy will see its complete fulfillment during the millennial kingdom of Christ.
