Episode 3 — “Restoration & the Spirit of Life”
From a wind-swept valley of bones to the streets in Jerusalem, the same Ruach breathes resurrection hope. In this teaching we place Ezekiel 37 side-by-side with Revelation 11, showing how the prophet’s vision of Israel’s return to Eden is more than the land we see today. The two Sticks (Trees) and the two witnesses’ ascent depict one unified promise: the Spirit raises the faithful and plants them—first in their own land, finally in the courts of heaven finally allowing God’s children to ability to enter the Paradise that now mortal Adam was eject from. The Spirit will resurrect, unify, and elevate God’s covenant family into the courts of heaven.

What We’ll Cover
• Ezekiel’s Valley & Vision – Bones knit together, receive sinews and skin, then live when the ruach enters (Ezk 37 :1-14).
• “Into Your Own Land” – Why the restored land is more than geography—an echo of Eden and a foretaste of the heavenly homeland (Heb 11 :13-16).
• Revelation’s Two Witnesses – After 1,260 days of testimony they fall, lie in the street, then “the breath of life from God” revives them and a voice says, “Come up here!” (Rev 11 :3-12).
• Parallel Movements
1. Prophesy → Response | Ezk 37 :4-7 ↔ Rev 11 :3
2. Breath/Spirit → Rising | Ezk 37 :10 ↔ Rev 11 :11
3. Stand as an Army/Witnesses | Ezk 37 :10 ↔ Rev 11 :11
4. Placement in Land → Ascent to Heaven | Ezk 37 :12-14 ↔ Rev 11 :12
• Second-Temple Echoes – Qumran’s Hodayot (1QHa 19:11-17) praising God for clothing the righteous with “spirit of life,” and 4 Ezra 7 on the righteous being “gathered into the place prepared.”
• Prophetic Triad – Ezek 37, Zech 4, and Rev 11 all link olive trees with Spirit-empowered witness, underscoring that God fuels His people with the “oil” of the Ruach.
• Early Church Witness – Irenaeus and Hippolytus reading Ezk 37 as the universal resurrection of the saints who will then “inherit the incorruptible.”
• Field Lesson – Cultivating “resurrection readiness”: living by the Spirit now as citizens of the land above (Col 3 :1-4).
• Shine as Lampstands – Let daily deeds and words testify prophetically in today’s world-city.

Key Passages
Ezekiel 37 :1-14 · Revelation 11 :3-12 · Hebrews 11 :13-16 · 1 Corinthians 15 :42-49

Discussion Prompts
1. How does linking “your own land” with heavenly ascent enlarge your understanding of inheritance?
2. Where have you seen the Spirit breathe new life into “dry bones” moments today?
3. In what practical ways can believers function as prophetic witnesses in the pattern of Revelation 11?
