Biblical regeneration/圣经中的重生

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign LORD, you alone know." Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' " So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.' " So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army. Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O 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.Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.' " 【Ezekiel 】耶和华的灵降在我身上。耶和华藉他的灵带我出去，将我放在平原中。这平原遍满骸骨。他使我从骸骨的四围经过，谁知在平原的骸骨甚多，而且极其枯乾。他对我说，人子阿，这些骸骨能复活麽。我说，主耶和华阿，你是知道的。他又对我说，你向这些骸骨发预言说，枯乾的骸骨阿，要听耶和华的话。主耶和华对这些骸骨如此说，我必使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了。我必给你们加上筋，使你们长肉，又将皮遮蔽你们，使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了。你们便知道我是耶和华。于是，我遵命说预言。正说预言的时候，不料，有响声，有地震。骨与骨互相联络。我观看，见骸骨上有筋，也长了肉，又有皮遮蔽其上，只是还没有气息。主对我说，"人子阿，你要发预言，向风发预言，说主耶和华如此说，气息阿，要从四方（方原文作风）而来，吹在这些被杀的人身上，使他们活了。于是我遵命说预言，气息就进入骸骨，骸骨便活了，并且站起来，成为极大的军队。主对我说，人子阿，这些骸骨就是以色列全家。他们说，我们的骨头枯乾了，我们的指望失去了，我们灭绝净尽了。所以你要发预言对他们说，主耶和华如此说，我的民哪，我必开你们的坟墓，使你们从坟墓中出来，领你们进入以色列地。我的民哪，我开你们的坟墓，使你们从坟墓中出来，你们就知道我是耶和华。我必将我的灵放在你们里面，你们就要活了。我将你们安置在本地，你们就知道我耶和华如此说，也如此成就了。这是耶和华说的。"【以西结书】
