Eze 37:1
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

Eze 37:4
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

This is a bodily resurrection unto life.

It's the resurrection of flesh and bones, the same as the Lord Jesus' own bodily resurrection:

Luk 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Rom 6:5
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Eph 5:30
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

It's the church and body of Christ, whose dried bones are planted in His name, and will be resurrected in His likeness with immortal flesh and bones.

Eze 37:9
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

Mat 24:31
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

From the four winds will the elect's bones be resurrected by the Spirit of life, and gathered unto Him in the air.

Eze 37:10
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Rev 11:11
And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

As with the valley of dry bones, so also with the Lord's two dead witnesses; The manner of their bodily resurrection unto life, shall be to stand up upon their feet, all at once together:

1Co 15:51
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

1 Th 4:15
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

The dead flesh and bones of the Lord's church and elect, as prophesied in Ezek 37 at His return, shall all stand up upon their feet in a moment and twinkling of the eye.

And as with two of the Lord's church witnesses in those last days, so shall all the resurrected flesh and bones of His church and body be seen by all on earth. As well as, altogether rising into the air of the four winds with clouds...
 
Ezek 37 is prophecy of the first resurrection of the risen Lamb's church, which is the whole Israel of God at His return:

Eze 37:11
Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

2Ti 3:12
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Rom 8:36
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Rev 13:4
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

The whole Israel of God and the Lamb are being cut off at the last days before His return, with power to resurrect them all from the graves.

Rom 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in.

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

The whole grafted elect from among the nations of the earth, shall all of God's Israel be saved: And be resurrected from their graves by the risen Lamb and Deliverer out of heavenly Sion.
 
Ezek 37 is also prophesy of Israel's return to the land promised by God to Abraham and His natural seed.

Eze 37:12
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. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

They will include all the faithful natural Israel of old saints and new, that will be resurrected with all the Israel of God at His return.

Eze 37:19
Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

As well as, all the remnant natural seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that remain alive on earth, after the Lord's plagues and war with the nations. They will all be gathered together as one nation of the King, both the natural flesh and blood Israelite Jews, with the immortal flesh and bones resurrected saints.

Gen 17:8
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

Eze 45:1
Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.

And so, the prophecy shall be fulfilled in the land promised to Abraham and his natural seed, along with the Spirit's seed of faith in Christ Jesus.

It certainly appears so.

However Ezek 37 is for the whole house of Israel, not just some of the saints.

And the resurrection is with the four winds, not some people living again after an earthquake.

And they all will be one nation under the King on earth, not just people living again around Jerusalem.

Ezek 37 is the first resurrection of the church and Israel of God at the Lord's return, to rule as King with them over all the earth...

Re- read. I see that Prophesy as fulfilled in the risen Son Jesus for us all. Not all have turned in belief to God Father in risen Son yet, many only speaking with their mouths, belief, yet do not fathom it yet. To be relieved of works and see rest in Father and Son as now known today, not known then, and still not known by many, why?????????????
Worrying, stressing out, thinking to believe, deciding to believe and then turn away from, not doing it right, being made aware of sin under Law, so thought leads everyone in their own unredeemed flesh bodies, and troubles happen.
Time to ask Father, Daddy, PaPa to reveal the truth, Son won for you, it is done John 19:30. For you, you, me and all people's to be new in Faith who stand in trust belief to God Father in risen Son. it is done, no more under Law, no more mixing Law and grace, what? Oil and water do not naturally mix. God does the mix, that is done in Son for us all to believe and start to see new in God's Spirit truth John 4:23-24
The raising of the Saints in Matthew 27:52, was exactly showing me to be raised right now too. Then the next as Father reveals to the next, then the next and so on and so forth
Your walk personally, has it not changed over the years in never giving up on God, believing he did it for you too?
Look 1 John 2:1-27 John 19:30, Jesus did John 1:29. We are made new from God Father through Son's done. work in the risen life. To now do new in love and mercy to all, not only those one might choose as is done by flesh in religion(s) You in, you not, go and clean you up, then come back and get water Baptized by us. Then you be in with us.
REALLY? Who are we the people. God chose Ezekiel to see and tell the people the truth in what God is going to do, now done at the cross first. Then in the resurrection where new life in God's spirit and Truth begins. To free us in giving us new life in the risen Son Jesus. Not revealed then, just prophesied then to be real one day. That day is when Son was seen risen from the dead. Now for you too, to stand in belief to. Col 1:21-23, will you? The is between God Father and you in risen Son given you to see it by belief to see it as done for you to,

Accepted, forgiven and sealed in Father through Son for you as risen to you too
Eph 1:1-13 verses 6,7, 13 stand out
God did it, I accept it, I stand in thankfulness and wait to be led by Father as Son was first for us all to love all, includes those we hate that have done wrong to us, why? We have done wrong ourselvers have we not Romans 2:1-4
thank you

Exactly. At His return with the first resurrection of His saints. All the bones of the dead in Christ will shake and come together, with flesh given for the bones, and the Spirit of God for breathe.

They will be bodies of immortal flesh and bone, with the Spirit for the incorruptible breath and blood.

1Pe 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

The blood of the Spirit of the risen Christ is now sprinkled on the new man of the heart, but will be the blood of the resurrected bodies of the saints.

1Co 15:49
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Natural flesh and blood cannot inherit the eternal kingdom of Christ, but only immortal flesh and bone can. No longer having natural blood, but incorruptible blood of Christ:

1Pe 1:18
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
