Hesekiel 2:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 2:2

And the spirit entered into me
Not his own spirit or soul; for it does not appear that that went out of him upon the sight of the vision; nor any of the ministering spirits, the angels, who are never said to enter into the prophets or people of God; but the Holy Spirit of God; the same Spirit that was in the living creatures, and in the wheels; in the ministers, and in the churches; who entered with his gifts to qualify him for his office as a prophet; and who enters with his graces into the hearts of all the saints, to quicken, renew, comfort, and sanctify them: when he spake unto me;
at the same time the Spirit went along with the word; and when the word of Christ is attended with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power, it is effectual: and he set me upon my feet;
not he that spake with him, and bid him stand on his feet; but the Spirit; for the word, though it is the word of God, and of Christ, yet is ineffectual without the Spirit; when he enters, he gives the word a place, and it works effectually; when he enters, as the Spirit of life from Christ, the soul is quickened and strengthened; and such that are fallen down stand up; yea, such as are dead arise and stand upon their feet: that I heard him that spake unto me;
so as to understand; for the Spirit, who searches the deep things of God, reveals them to his ministers, and causes them to understand the word of Christ, that they may be able to instruct others in it.

Hesekiel 2:2 In-Context

1 Und er sprach zu mir: Du Menschenkind, tritt auf deine Füße, so will ich mit dir reden.
2 Und da er so mit mir redete, ward ich erquickt und trat auf meine Füße und hörte dem zu, der mit mir redete. {~}
3 Und er sprach zu mir: Du Menschenkind, ich sende dich zu den Kindern Israel, zu dem abtrünnigen Volk, so von mir abtrünnig geworden sind. Sie samt ihren Vätern haben bis auf diesen heutigen Tag wider mich getan.
4 Aber die Kinder, zu welchen ich dich sende, haben harte Köpfe und verstockte Herzen. Zu denen sollst du sagen: So spricht der HERR HERR!
5 Sie gehorchen oder lassen's. Es ist wohl ein ungehorsames Haus; dennoch sollen sie wissen, daß ein Prophet unter ihnen ist.
