This is the final part (part 4) of 'Light in the Darkness'. We pick up from where we left off last week, where in Ezekiel 37, God shows the prophet a valley of dry bones. Could this really be depicting the Holocaust? And if so, what about the teaching the church applies to itself? In verse 11 we read, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is gone…” In Hebrew, Hatikvah (The Israel national anthem) means “the hope”. Can any hope come from the Holocaust?

Also, is there a connection to Holocaust Memorial Day and the festival of Tu BiShvat (New Year for Trees) which just so happened to begin in Israel on the same day - Wednesday, 27 January 2021. Tu Bi'Shvat (Hebrew: ט״ו בשבט‎) is a Jewish holiday, occurring on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat and is mentioned in the Mishnah.
