Ezekiel follows the lament-judgment-destruction formula pretty close, but all of a sudden in chapter 37 it gets weird. Really weird. Out of nowhere, Zeke is led by God out to a valley that was apparently a dumping grounds for dead bodies. Some bodies must have been there for quite a while since it says there were a lot of bones. God has Zeke tell the bones to come back to life… and that’s exactly what they do. It says “tendons and flesh appeared on [the bones] and skin covered them.” If I was there, I’d have totally been like, “Are you kidding me, Zeke? You’ve been all Debbie Downer this whole time and now you are resurrecting bones?! Can you do that with an empty bag of Cheetos? Cuz’ a bottomless bag of Cheetos would be sweet!”
