So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
So I prophesied, as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army - such honour God gives to the divine word, even in the month of a man; how much more when in the mouth of the Son of God! (John 5:25-29.) Though this chapter does not directly prove the resurrection of the dead, it does so indirectly; for it takes for granted the future fact as one recognized by believing Jews, and so made the image of their national restoration (so Isaiah 25:8; Isaiah 26:10; Daniel 12:2; Hosea 6:2; Hosea 13:14: cf. note, Ezekiel 37:12).
