Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 37:12

"Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel." — Ezekiel 37:12 (ASV)

There was to be a house of Israel after all. The nation seemed to be dead and buried, but God would revive and restore it. This is a promise that may apply to a church when it gets into a very low spiritual state, and it looks as if it could never do any more good: Behold, O my people, I will open your graves.

And to you, dear friends, who are very heavy of heart, full of despair, and who seem as if you were as good as dead and buried, God speaks in this promise. Therefore believe His Word as though it had been directed to you personally: 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.
