…breath entered them. Then they came to life and stood on their feet. There were enough of them to form a very large army. The LORD also said to me, “Son of man, all the people of Israel are like these bones. The people say, ‘Our bones are dry, and our hope has vanished. We are completely destroyed.’ So prophesy. Tell them, ‘This is what the Almighty LORD says: My people, I will open your graves and take you out of them. I will bring you to Israel. 3 Then, my people, you will know that I am the LORD, because I will open your graves and bring you out of your graves. Ezekiel 37:10-13
The above scriptures kind of sound like a zombie army, don’t they?

My son loves watching The Walking Dead. I think it is because it is so ridiculously unreal. But there is a reality similar to The Walking Dead that is very real and very unseen:
ZOMBIES AND MAZES
Many are captive
Held in unbelief
In their own dark world
With no real relief
No hope, no purpose
To idols they cling
Drinking the poison
These false gods bring
Delusional lives
Like zombies they’re dead
Refusing real drink
Refusing real bread
Starving and wand’ring
In desert wastelands
Suppressing the truth
While kicking at sand
Scorching hot it burns
The soles of their feet
As their hearts remain
Hard in swelt’ring heat
The precepts and laws
Deliberately placed
To frustrate and mirror
Their false estate
Leading and guiding
A deliberate maze
Through dark unbelief
And spiritual haze
Some never finding
Nay!
Refusing release
While others are drawn
By a beckoning peace
Even as they have
Confusion by day
They follow a path
Though narrow Its way
They know there is more
They know deep inside
The drawing of souls
To the Savior’s side

These scriptures remind me of zombies:
They wandered around the desert on a deserted road without finding an inhabited city. They were hungry and thirsty. They began to lose hope. In their distress they cried out to the LORD. He rescued them from their troubles. He led them on a road that went straight to an inhabited city. Let them give thanks to the LORD because of his mercy. He performed his miracles for Adam’s descendants. He gave plenty to drink to those who were thirsty. He filled those who were hungry with good food. Those who lived in the dark, in death’s shadow were prisoners in misery. They were held in iron chains because they had rebelled against God’s words and had despised the advice given by the Most High. So he humbled them with hard work. They fell down, but no one was there to help them. In their distress they cried out to the LORD. He saved them from their troubles. He brought them out of the dark, out of death’s shadow. He broke apart their chains. Let them give thanks to the LORD because of his mercy. He performed his miracles for Adam’s descendants. He shattered bronze gates and cut iron bars in two. Fools suffered because of their disobedience and because of their crimes. All food was disgusting to them, and they came near death’s gates. In their distress they cried out to the LORD. He saved them from their troubles. He sent his message and healed them. He rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the LORD because of his mercy. He performed his miracles for Adam’s descendants. Let them bring songs of thanksgiving as their sacrifice. Let them tell in joyful songs what he has done. Psalm 107:4-22
This scripture reminds me that there is hope for zombies:
Jesus answered John’s disciples, “Go back, and tell John what you have seen and heard: Blind people see again, lame people are walking, those with skin diseases are made clean, deaf people hear again, dead people are brought back to life, and poor people hear the Good News! Luke 7:22
Are YOU a zombie?
For the wages of sin is death; Romans 6:23a
There is only one way to not be a zombie:
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23b
Even if you choose to live as a zombie all the days of your life, remember that all zombies must eventually die and this promise holds true even to your dieing breath:
Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
Please receive the truth!
