Bible Note: Dear Markarios, I doubt if I could answer satisfactoraly the problems and challanges that you stated, but let me try, I'll start with the easest one, #3. (in verse's 12 , 14)now they will have God's Spirit in them so they now will have their first chance for salvation. without God's spirit we are lost and without hope. #2. "Ezekials own explanation" I'm not sure what you mean by this, I don't see an explanation by Ezekiel of the vision, he simply made a statement of the vision he had. #1 , #4 are basically the same question Rev 20 helps explain the resurrections, 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection After the thousand year reign "The rest of the dead lived" The first resurrection was a spiritual resurrection, they received their reward. This is another resurrection, (the rest of the dead) I believe God's plan of salvation must give every creature a chance for salvation, not only for Israel but for all mankind, there must be a day of salvation for those who didn't have their first one. I believe Ezekiel 37 is an indication of just that. Arnie |
