There are many (including the makers of the 7-minute film below) who believe that the above represents nothing less than a Miracle — the fulfillment of the “Dry Bones” prophecy of Ezekiel 37.

“This is what the Lord Yahweh says: I am going to take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.”

God then promised that one day this will happen:

“They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live in it forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever.
“I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will establish and multiply them and will set My sanctuary among them forever. My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.
“When My sanctuary is among them forever, the nations will know that I, Yahweh, sanctify Israel.“
