Bible Reference & Cartoon Description

Ezekiel 37:8 (NLT)
Then as I [Ezekiel] watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.

DRAWING NOTES:

TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified in the Bible narrative.

LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun (unseen & high in the sky on the right) illuminates this scene, casting shadows below & to the left of the figure & objects.

CHARACTERS PRESENT:
The prophet Ezekiel.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene shows the skeleton bodies from the previous scene, but now they have muscles, tendons, flesh (& on the bodies in the background) skin on the bones. But as verse 8 points out, “…they still had no breath in them”, meaning the breath of life. This is given by God, via Ezekiel’s prophetic utterance, in the next scene.

The three birds flying overhead are Grus grus (aka Common Crane, Eurasian Crane), which is a large bird 39–51 inches (100–130 cm) long with a 71–94 inch (180–240 cm) wingspan. The body weight can range from 6.6 to 13.4 pounds (3 to 6.1 kg); the males are slightly heavier and larger than female cranes.

According to the website “Bird Meanings & Symbolism Explained”, the Crane can represent Healing and Rebirth. That seemed appropriate for my Bible Cartoon, showing the muscles, tendons, flesh and skin miraculously growing back over the skeletal bodies in the scene, so I have added 3 cranes in the sky over the valley in my picture.

Bible Doctrine Notes
37:1-14 GOD, Power (1.14J)
God has sovereign power over a dead nation. No realm, even death, is beyond His power and control. Despite what human beings might think, say or judge to the contrary, God can save His people no matter what. All of God’s axtions seek to introduce Himself to all people as Lord and Saviour.

37:1-14 HUMANITY, Life (2.43A)
This prophetic story occurred as the nation Israel was “dead”, in exile. God used the graphic symbol of a valley of dry bones to illustrate just how dead the Israelites really were. And yet, as the story unfolds, God shows that once dry, lifeless bones can live. In verse 14 God promised the prophet Ezekiel that He would make the nation of Israel live again. Jesus has shown us that dead believers will rise to eternal life again after physical death.
