The Development-Sinews
We will see the development of the nation of Israel in the stages of the development of the body upon the skeleton, which is in Ezekiel 37:8 “And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.”
The development of the nation of Israel is in three parts: sinews, flesh, and skin. The sinews would involve the return of the people. The flesh would consist of building the cities. The skin is the national economy and the military.
The development of the sinews forming on the bones of the skeleton involves the return of the Jews to Israel. Let us look and see how God is returning the Jews to Israel.
On April 7, 1960, the Israelis published a postage stamp with the picture of a family on a flying carpet, and quoted
in Hebrew and French on the stamp’s tab is Exodus 19:4 “Ye have
seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles'
wings, and brought you unto myself.”
This stamp is reminding the Jews that their return to Israel is by the act of God. During a period of sixty seven years, 7.1 million Jews have returned to Israel, increasing the population of the Jews in 2014 to 7.8 million. In the Bible God prophesied about some of the means which he would use to carry the Jews back to Israel. Some of these prophesies are on the stamps of Israel.
