Shaking
The second part to the forming of the skeleton is “ A shaking.” (Ezekiel 37:7) The shaking indicates the struggle of the Jews to return to Israel.
On March 26, 1950, the Israelis published a postage stamp with the picture of a boat full of Jews returning to Israel and with a man fighting to get on the land, and quoted in Hebrew on the stamp’s tab is Deuteronomy 26:8 “And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched
arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:”
This is to remind the Israelis of the struggle they had in trying to return to the land of Israel just before their independence.
On April 27, 1965, the Israelis
published a postage stamp with the inscription “The Liberation of the Concentration Camps.” This stamp is to remind the Israelis how out of the
death camps God has returned them back to the land. Many of the Jews
lost their lives in trying to escape from other countries and also many of their possessions in trying to return to their homeland - a real “shaking of the bones.”
