Dearly loved people of God,
There are interesting trends in pop culture.
There’s been a growth in interest about people emerging from graves: zombies, the undead, and the stuff of horror movies.
There’s a fascination with the grotesque.
Not to my tastes.
I mean, I like Jane Austin.
I like Pride & Prejudice.
I’ve read the book many time, watched several movie versions, read two recent books inspired by P & P – one a sequel another about the servants in the Bennet household.
But one recent fan fiction version I didn’t buy: Pride & Prejudice and Zombies.
But that’s the kind of thing that’s been published.
I mean: I like Jane Austin.
I like Pride & Prejudice.
I’ve read the book often, watched several movie versions, read 2 new books inspired by P & P – a sequel and a parallel story about the servants in the Bennet household.
There’s one fan fiction version of Jane Austin’s classic I didn’t buy: Pride & Prejudice and Zombies.
Interesting that it’s been published, no?
Yet the movie makers haven’t latched on to very often.
Yet it’s a great scene.
It has a more wholesome feel than most horror movies, although with the right background music you could make it spooky.
The Spirit of the Lord brought Ezekiel to a valley full of bones and gets him to walk around.
At the Lord’s instruction, Ezekiel tells the bones to come together and for tendons and flesh to appear.
Amazingly, it happens.
Again, at the Lord’s command, Ezekiel commands the wind to blow the breath of life into the bodies and they “came to life and stood up on their feet – a vast army.”

If you aren’t familiar with Hebrew, you might miss the thickness of what is meant here.
In Hebrew, the word for wind, Spirit, and breath is all the same word: ruach.
From the four winds, the wind, breath, and spirit blew into these bodies, just as God breathed breath, wind, spirit into Adam at creation.
This breath is what makes us human.
This breath is what gives humankind life.

How God the Spirit breath life into these bodies is a sign to Ezekiel and a sign to God’s covenant people of what is ahead

My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
