    Just one point: Significance of "Dry"

    Three examples where the Spirit uses the adjective 'dry"

    1. "O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord."(Ez.37:4) Dry bone can hear the word

    2."For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground"(Is.53:2) Dryness associated with dry ground.

    3."When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places,"(Matt.12:43)

    Unclean spirits belong to Satan and spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ep.6:12)

    Taken together Ezekiel's vision leads to the creation of man. "And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord." Ezekiel is annotating Ge.2:7. "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

    Dry ground in the second instance refers to God planting the Garden where the tree of life is implied.

    Third instance refers to the unclean spirit and the prince of the power of the air.
