Chapter II

Prophecy of Ezekiel's Valley of Dry Bones

        Jeremiah assured them that God would keep his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Moses, and David.

Jeremiah 33:19-22 “And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.”
Jeremiah 33:25-26
“Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, [and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, [so] that I will not take [any] of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.”

       During the latter part of the ministry of Jeremiah, the prophet Ezekiel began his ministry. While the nation was in captivity, Ezekiel assured them that they would all be brought back into the land of Canaan as one nation.

       Ezekiel 37:21-23 “And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.”
