And as you see, this "army" is not meant to go and help any sort of Aragorn to defeat darkness, but to go and settle down. Maybe a "host" is better translation here, the original word denotes "strength", the main point is the vastness of the resurrected amount (since the point in Ezekiel is that all those who seemed defeated and despairing - v. 11 - shall return to life and live in the land). And the purpose of this army is not to fight, but simply to go and settle down in the land: to live again in the home they had been promised (v. 14).
