Stones & Bones – Rational Faith in a Valley of Dry Bones

<p>In this episode, Paul and Deborah walk through one of the most haunting prophecies in the Bible: Ezekiel’s vision of a valley filled with “very dry bones.”</p><p><br /></p><p>They ask hard questions along the way:</p><ul><li><p>Does Ezekiel 37 really map onto Jewish history from AD 70 to the Holocaust and the rebirth of Israel in 1948?</p></li><li><p>Did Jesus actually predict the fall of the Temple before it happened—or is that just church spin?</p></li><li><p>How do Ezekiel 38–39 (Gog and Magog) and the as-yet-unbuilt temple fit into the story?</p></li></ul><li><ul><li>And if Israel’s regathering is real, <strong>what does that mean for Palestinians, war, and the two-state solution?</strong></li></ul><p><br /></p><p>They argue that <strong>“Love the stranger”</strong> and <strong>“Protect your people”</strong> are not opposites, but the twin rails of a moral faith.</p><p><br /></p></li><p>This is not a prophecy chart rant and it’s not a political slogan.Paul and Deborah wrestle with:</p><ul><li><p>History you can Google,</p></li><li><p>Prophecies you can read for yourself,</p></li><li><p>The grief of both Israeli and Palestinian parents,</p></li><li><p>And what Torah actually says about strangers, enemies, justice, and restraint in war.</p></li></ul><p><br /></p><p>If you’re skeptical, there’s a chair for you at the table.If you’ve ever wondered whether “stones and bones” have anything to do with today’s headlines—or with your own story—this conversation is for you.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>
