The Lord's question is very striking. The Lord asketh, not for his information, but for ours. The Prophet's answer is truly modest and becoming. Humanly speaking, the bones could not live. But with God all things are possible. If, as the Lord himself afterward explained the vision: the circumstances of his people were to be well understood by the Prophet for the instruction of the Church; how gracious and condescending was it in the Lord, thus to explain by figure the leading truths the Lord meant to teach.
