HHMI ~ Two Houses and NT ~ Pt 15 ~ Lazarus in Sickness & Death ~ Picture of Exiles of Israel

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. John 11:1 In the story of the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead, at the deeper sod level, Lazarus represents the Northern kingdom or the exiles of Israel. Mary represents the attitude of the Jewish people or Judaism, while Martha represents the attitude of Christianity. Lazarus is described as sick. Similarly, the spiritual condition of the exiles of Israel are described as sick: The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. Ezekiel 34:4 Yeshua is telling us that he is going to seek out these sheep that are sick and strengthen them: I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment. Ezekiel 34: 16 There is a connection between Lazarus in the grave to the scattered dry bones of Ezekiel 37. The exiles of Israel are seen as spiritually dead: they are described as scattered dry bones. When they are in exile, they are seen as dry bones. When they return to the land, they are seen as resurrected from the dead. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Ezekiel 37:12 Listen in as Eddie reveals to us the account of the resurrection of Lazarus at the deeper sod level, and hear the HEART of what Yeshua is teaching to us through it!
