RR Psalm 56:13, 14 Part 9
Shalom,
Rabbi Trail: Let’s take a moment to assess where we are in the fulfillment of Ezekiel’s “Dry Bones” prophecy found in Ezekiel 37. I feel like the State of Israel is connected. It starts with the “valley of dry bones.” That certainly describes the “Jewish landscape” at the end of The Holocaust. Then Ezekiel is told to prophesy over the valley of those many, very dry bones.
Ezekiel 37:4 “Prophesy over these bones,” He said to me. “Say to them: ‘Dry bones, hear the word of Adonai!’ 5 Thus says Adonai Elohim to these bones: “Behold, I will cause Ruach to enter you, so you will live.”
Two things here… the “Ruach” is Hebrew for breath, wind, and spirit. There is life (into which we are all born) and there is “born again” life for those who are filled with the Spirit after believing in Yeshua.
Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be immersed in the name of Messiah Yeshua for the removal of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
Secondly, the prophecy of Ezekiel goes on to explain a process, first tendons, then flesh, followed by skin and finally breath. That last part, the breath of faith, the saving power of the Spirit is the substance of our prayer. That’s how Paul starts Romans chapters 9, 10, and 11.
Romans 9:3 For I would pray that I myself were cursed, banished from Messiah for the sake of my people—my own flesh and blood, 4a who are Israelites.
Romans 10:1 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for Israel is for their salvation.
Romans 11:2a God has not rejected His people whom He knew beforehand.
Please join the chorus of those who are pleading with God for the salvation of all Israel, when God will complete Ezekiel’s prophecy and fully answer Ezekiel (and all the other prophets too).
Ezekiel 36:26 Moreover I will give you a new heart. I will put a new spirit within you. I will remove the stony heart from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27a I will put My Ruach within you.

Psalms
Psalm 56:13(12). 14(13) – Part 9
Psalm 56:13(12) I am under vows to You, O God. I will present thank offerings to You. 14(13) For You have delivered my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
These last two verses of Psalm 56 seem to fit well together. Interestingly, verse 12 is full of thanksgiving, which precedes verse 13 which is full of deliverance. Apparently, we should be thanking God first, before He even does anything. Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Our thanks (grateful hearts) to Yeshua IS the reward of His suffering. 1Peter 3:18 For Messiah once suffered for sins also—the righteous for the unrighteous—in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Ruach.
In Psalm 56:14, the deliverance into the “light of life” stands in contrast to the darkness implied by the death of the soul.
1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Darkness is the result of being absent from God’s presence. Light (marvelous light) is the result of being IN His presence. Well, if we weren’t excited before, we are now, and not just excited, but thankful too. Shalom shalom.
