Can God breathe new life into a devastated people? It's a question which connects the struggling societies of today with Ezekiel's people, the Israelites deported to Babylon in the year 597BC.

I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live ... then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and will act, says the Lord.’
