Zeke

I finished Ezekiel.
My favorite chapter has always been 37 that has the valley of dry bones and God brings them back to life
13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.' "

Ezekiel ends with a description of a temple and many measurements of all the details of the temple. And then the river that flows out from under it and Ezekiel goes deeper and deeper- it is a river of life. God measures things out then comes to bring LIFE.

Ezekiel ends with
"And the name of the city from that time on will be:
The LORD is There ."

And where the LORD is, there is life.
