Rom 9:6-7
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Yes, each in their order. And if the lump be holy, so the remainder.

Mt. 27:52 is about the shadow of first fruits, not harvest. Some, not all.

This has nothing to do with Ezekiel and the "valley of the dry bones." Ezekiel was speaking of the whole nation of Israel in that verse.

God bless

Yepp, the Righteous were risen . i don't believe you sir . thank you for your opinion though .

Believe me or not. it matters not to me. But do you believe scripture? Here is the proof that this is the whole nation of Israel, right there in the middle of all those verses.

Ezekiel 37:11-- "11Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts."

The bones represent the whole house of Israel living at the time of the restoration. The "graves" (v.12) are the nations where they dwell. The order is 1.bringing the people out (v.12); 2. bringing them in (v.12); 3. their conversion (v.13) and 4. their being filled with the spirit (v.14).

NOw if you will go back and look at Ezekiel 36:24-38 you will see that the Lord announced the restoration of Israel, and now here the Lord gives in a vision and in symbol how this will be accomplished.

Notice the bold and underlined words of this verse. Now, ask yourself a question. Did all of Israel rise with the Lord on that day? No!!!!!
As I said, I don't care if you believe me or not, but there it is as plain as day in this verse. I believe scripture.

God bless

Comparing Matt.27:52, With Ez.37, the valley of dry bones is to attempt to compare two very different events as the same event. The only thing that is probable, these in Matthew 27, may have been the wave offering unto the Lord, the first of the first fruits of the harvest of the Jews, but not the church. Even the apostiles at this time in Matthew 27, had forsaken the Lord.

Those reported raised in Matthew are called saints. The ground idea for saints is, these where pure, clean, but it super-adds the idea of respect and veneration.
a. Pure, clean, as in ceremonially or morally clean, including the idea of deserving of respect, reverence, etc.
a-1. Perfect, without blemish, Rom.12:1, "Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy."
a-2. Metaph. Morally pure, upright, blameless in heart and life, virtuous, holy. Genr. Mark 6:20. Rom.7:12.

Ezekiel valley of dry bones, the first part, speaks of the spiritually dead. Ezekiel was a priest, who was not allowed to touch, or be near anything dead, yet he stood in the midst of the dead. This valley was filled with death, with the unclean, all without the Holy Spirit.

I would say at this moment in time, Israel is in phase one of the prophesy of Ezekiel; now being gathered back to the land, with flesh put upon their bones. They are alive in the flesh as a nation, but are without the Holy Spirit, or salvation for the most part. There salvation, for the whole house will come after the 7 years of tribulation, after they call upon their Messiah.

This is another subject.

Does anyone see the similarity of Ezekiel 37 and the 2 witnesses in Revelation and perhaps even the event of Lazarus being resurrected?

I can see by your resonance that you think on the second dimension of reality . seeing that we exist at least in the present in the third dimension i have nothing to respond to you . because it is not relevant to this current paradigm of existence .

i have read the passages in question . just don't share your opinion of it
.

Ah . but if all means all .. then soteriology would be so much simpler

You would think so

Romans 9:27 "Isaiah yet cries-out over the Israel 'if-ever may be the number of the sons of Israel as the sand of the sea, the Remnant shall be being saved/swqhsetai <4982> (5701)'".
[Isaiah 10:22,23/Daniel 12/Reve 20:8]

Romans 11:26 and thus All/paV <3956> Israel shall be being saved/swqhsetai <4982> (5701).
According as it has been written 'shall be arriving out of Zion the one rescuing He shall be turning away irreverence from Jacob'.

Blue Letter Bible - Lexicon
Strong's Number G3956 matches the Greek &#960;&#8118;&#962; (pas), which occurs 1245 times in 1075 verses in the Greek concordance

This particular form of the greek word #3956 used 99 times in the NT, including 8 times in the book of Revelation according to ISA Interlinear

Scripture4All - Greek/Hebrew interlinear Bible software

Young) Revelation 1:7 Behold! He doth come with the clouds and see Him shall every/paV <3956> eye, even those who did pierce Him, and wail because of Him shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! Amen!
[Jeremiah 4:13/Matt 24:30/26:64]

All means all, and when means a moment in time.

There's first fruit and then harvest. Two when events of some then all.

Hmm yet all means all .

and i recall one passage where many meant all . relating that many had died in adam, yet all did, so perhaps picking at the words is not the intended usage .

All often means that all types are represented, while not meaning that every single entity is being considered. Translating subtlties like that can be tricky, and often cause a multitude of debates.

but proportionally, if all of mankind is being spoken of then it should seem simplistic

I've worked in a bank. People came in all the time and are told that it doesn't work the way they think it should. I would tell them how it worked, and they would insist that it should work some other way. What could I do? It just wasn't the way they thought it should be.

So, I totally understand that you think "it should seem simplistic," but what we are dealing with here is a language gap and a culture gap, only further distorted by the effects of history on our perception of their meaning. Sure, maybe in your mind "it should seem simplistic," but that doesn't mean it is, you know?
