Dead or Alive?

“In that day . . . will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean, yea, from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you . . .

Then the heathen (unbelieving) that are left round about you shall know . . . that I the LORD build the ruined places, and I the LORD plant that which was desolate . . . For I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it !”

– Ezekiel 36:25-56*
