What is the New Spirit Ezekiel Promised?

What does it mean?

1 Peter 1:23

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.     

Water and the spirit

Born again

Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” (John 3:3)

Nicodemus is confused by this statement and asks:

“How can someone be born when they are old? Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” (John 3:4)

Jesus clarifies that being “born again” is not a physical rebirth but a spiritual transformation:

“Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.” (John 3:5-6)

Who would have believed that there would be a nation of israel reborn??

100 years agoEzekiel 37:1-14, where God shows the prophet Ezekiel a valley filled with dry bones and commands him to prophesy over them. This vision symbolizes the restoration of Israel.

Key Hebrew Terms:

עֲצָמוֹת יְבֵשׁוֹת (atzamot yeveshot) – “dry bones”

הִנָּבֵא (hinave) – “prophesy” (imperative form)

רוּחַ (ruach) – “spirit,” “breath,” or “wind”

תִּחְיֶינָה (tichyenah) – “shall live”

וְנָתַתִּי בָכֶם רוּחַ וִחְיִיתֶם (venatati bachem ruach vich’yitem) – “I will put breath (spirit) in you, and you shall live.” (Ezekiel 37:6)

Key Verses (Hebrew & Translation):

Ezekiel 37:4

וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי הִנָּבֵא עַל הָעֲצָמוֹת הָאֵלֶּה וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶן, עֲצָמוֹת הַיְבֵשׁוֹת, שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר יְהוָה.

“Then He said to me, ‘Prophesy over these bones and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!’”

Ezekiel 37:9

וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי, הִנָּבֵא אֶל הָרוּחַ הִנָּבֵא בֶּן אָדָם, וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל הָרוּחַ, כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה מֵאַרְבַּע רוּחוֹת בֹּאִי הָרוּחַ, וּפְחִי בַּהֲרוּגִים הָאֵלֶּה, וְיִחְיוּ.

“Then He said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord GOD, Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.’”

Meaning of the Prophecy:

National Restoration: The bones represent Israel in exile, feeling hopeless and disconnected.

Spiritual Renewal: The “breath” (רוּחַ) symbolizes the Spirit of God, which revives and restores.

We heard Sarit Haddad sing כשהלב בוכה

We heard the song heart cry

Elohim is unified one

Not singular one

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:   And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.   And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:  And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.   And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.  And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.   And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

God as the Husbandman of Israel (Vineyard)

Isaiah 5:1-7 – The famous Song of the Vineyard compares Israel to a vineyard planted and tended by God, but it yielded “wild grapes” (symbolizing Israel’s disobedience).

Psalm 80:8-16 – “You brought a vine out of Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it.”

Jeremiah 2:21 – “I planted you as a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then have you turned into a degenerate plant?”

Hosea 2:19-20 – God describes His covenant with Israel as a marriage, saying, “I will betroth you to Me forever.”

Jesus as the Husbandman (Caretaker) of the New Covenant

John 15:1 – “I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman (vine-dresser).”

Matthew 21:33-41 – The parable of the wicked husbandmen (farmers) speaks of unfaithful stewards rejecting the master’s son, which is interpreted as Israel rejecting God’s messengers and ultimately the Messiah.

Messianic & Jewish Perspective on the Bride (Israel)

Israel as the Bride of God – The Hebrew Scriptures frequently depict Israel as God’s bride (Hosea, Jeremiah, Isaiah).

The Marriage at Sinai – Traditional Jewish thought sees the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai as a wedding between God and Israel, with the Torah as the marriage contract (ketubah).

Messianic Fulfillment – In the New Testament, the concept expands, with the faithful being called the “Bride of Messiah” (Revelation 19:7), continuing the theme of divine betrothal and restoration

Ezekiel 36:

Israel’s Sin and Defilement (Ezekiel 36:16-21)

The Israelites had defiled the land through their actions, leading to exile.

Verse 21: “But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations.”

Key Point: Israel did not deserve redemption, but God still had mercy.

God Restores for His Name’s Sake (Ezekiel 36:22-23)

Verse 22: “It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of My holy name.”

God’s motivation is to sanctify His name among the nations.

Key Point: The restoration of Israel is an act of divine grace, not human merit.

The Promise of Spiritual Renewal (Ezekiel 36:24-27)

Verse 24: “I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.”

Verse 26: “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.”

Key Point: God promises to change Israel from within, giving them a new heart and His Spirit.

Blessing and Prosperity in the Land (Ezekiel 36:28-30)

Israel will return to the land, and God will bless them with abundance and security.

Verse 31: “Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves.”

Key Point: True repentance comes after God’s mercy and restoration.

The Restoration is for a Greater Purpose (Ezekiel 36:36)

“Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am the Lord.”

Key Point: God’s restoration of Israel is a witness to the world of His power and faithfulness.

Numbers 6:22-27, God commands Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel:

“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.” (Birkat Kohanim)

Verse 27:

“So they shall put My name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.”

God’s holy name is spiritually placed upon the people of Israel through this blessing.

2. Holocaust Survivors and the Divine Mark

Many Holocaust survivors were forcibly tattooed with numbers on their arms in Auschwitz and other Nazi camps.

Some survivors, especially from religious families, later saw spiritual significance in this:

The Nazis tried to erase their Jewish identity, but instead, they marked them as living testaments to God’s endurance and faithfulness.

Survivors, despite immense suffering, carried God’s name upon them, fulfilling the Priestly Blessing in an unexpected way.

3. Isaiah’s Prophecy: “I Have Engraved You on the Palms of My Hands”

Isaiah 49:16:

“Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.”

Isaiah 29:13-15 (KJV)

13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

Zechariah 14:2 (End-Times Judgment on Jerusalem)

“For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished…”

This passage speaks of a time of great distress in Jerusalem’s future, often interpreted as end-times tribulation.

Lamentations 5:11-12 (Judgment on Judah)

“They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. Princes are hanged up by their hand…”

This describes the suffering of Jerusalem during its destruction, likely by Babylon in 586 B.C.

2 Kings 4:13 (KJV)

“And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.”

Context & Meaning

The Shunammite woman had shown great hospitality to the prophet Elisha, and he wanted to reward her.

Elisha offers to speak on her behalf to the king or commander, but she humbly declines, saying, “I dwell among my own people.”

Her response expresses contentment and belonging—she does not seek political favor or special privileges, but chooses to remain with her people in her community.1 Peter 1:23 (KJV)

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of Elohim, which liveth and abideth for ever.”

John 3:3-6 (KJV)

“Yeshua answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Elohim.”

Nicodemus, confused, asked:”How can someone be born when they are old? Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

Yeshua responded:”Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Elohim. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

National Rebirth: Israel Restored

Who would have believed that the nation of Israel would be reborn?

Ezekiel 37:1-14 – The Vision of Dry Bones

Key Hebrew Terms:

עֲצָמוֹת יְבֵשׁוֹת (atzamot yeveshot) – “dry bones”

הִנָּבֵא (hinave) – “prophesy”

רוּחַ (ruach) – “spirit,” “breath,” or “wind”

תִּחְיֵנָּה (tichyenah) – “shall live”

וְנָתַתִּי בָכֶם רוּחַ וִחְיִתֶם (venatati bachem ruach vich’yitem) – “I will put breath (spirit) in you, and you shall live.”_

Key Verses & Meaning

Ezekiel 37:4 “Then He said to me, ‘Prophesy over these bones and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!’”

Ezekiel 37:9 “Prophesy to the breath… Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.”

Interpretation:

National Restoration – The bones represent Israel in exile, feeling hopeless and disconnected.

Spiritual Renewal – The “breath” (רוּחַ) symbolizes the Spirit of Elohim, reviving and restoring.

Shema Yisrael & The Hope of Restoration

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our Elohim is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.”

In moments of crisis, such as during the Nova Festival attack, Israelis cried out “Shema Yisrael” as their anthem, calling on Elohim.

A New Spirit & Heart of Flesh

Ezekiel 36:24-27

“I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land… I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.”

Key Message: Elohim promises to restore Israel, not only physically but spiritually, with a new heart and spirit.

Valley of Achor: A Door of Hope

Hosea 2:14-15

“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the Valley of Achor for a door of hope.”

The Valley of Achor, once a place of judgment, becomes a gateway to renewal, just as Israel experiences rebirth after tribulation.

Messianic Fulfillment & Born Again Experience

Zechariah 12:10

“They shall look upon me whom they have pierced.”

The born-again experience is likened to the national spiritual awakening of Israel.

Just as Israel is reborn, individuals must undergo a spiritual rebirth through Yeshua.

Final Call: A Relationship, Not Religion

A spiritual awakening is happening. Over 50,000 believers are returning to a deep, personal relationship with Elohim.

Jeremiah 30:7

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.”

We must be ready for all scenarios—physically and spiritually. The time for revival is now. Be born again.
