   In this vision, the dry bones aptly represent the ruined and
   desperate state of both Israel and Judah; and the
   revivification of these bones signifies their restoration to
   their own land after their captivity, and also their recovery
   from their present long dispersion.  Although this is the
   primary and genuine scope of the vision, yet the doctrine of a
   general resurrection of the dead may justly be inferred from
   it; for "a simile of the resurrection," says Jerome, after
   Tertullian and others, "would never have been used to signify
   the restoration of the people of Israel, unless such a future
   resurrection had been believed and known; because no one
   attempts to confirm uncertain things by things which have no
   existence."
