In the context of Ezekiel's calling, it underscores the authority and divine origin of the message. The phrase reflects the biblical pattern where God initiates communication with His prophets (e.g., Moses in <a href="/exodus/3-4.htm">Exodus 3:4</a>, Isaiah in <a href="/isaiah/6-8.htm">Isaiah 6:8</a>). This divine speech is a hallmark of prophetic literature, where the prophet serves as a mouthpiece for God's words.<p><b>the Spirit entered me</b><br>The entry of the Spirit signifies empowerment and divine enablement for the task ahead. In the Old Testament, the Spirit of God often comes upon individuals to equip them for specific roles or missions (e.g., <a href="/judges/6-34.htm">Judges 6:34</a>, <a href="/1_samuel/16-13.htm">1 Samuel 16:13</a>). This moment marks Ezekiel's transformation from a priest to a prophet, highlighting the necessity of divine assistance in fulfilling God's purposes. The Spirit's entry is a precursor to the New Testament understanding of the Holy Spirit indwelling believers (<a href="/acts/2-4.htm">Acts 2:4</a>).<p><b>and set me on my feet</b><br>Being set on his feet symbolizes readiness and preparation to receive and deliver God's message. It contrasts with Ezekiel's initial position of being overwhelmed and prostrate (<a href="/ezekiel/1-28.htm">Ezekiel 1:28</a>). This act of being raised up by the Spirit indicates divine strength and support, enabling Ezekiel to stand firm in his prophetic ministry. It reflects the biblical theme of God raising His servants to fulfill their calling (e.g., <a href="/daniel/10-11.htm">Daniel 10:11</a>).<p><b>and I heard Him speaking to me</b><br>Hearing God speak directly emphasizes the clarity and authority of the divine message. It assures that the message is not of human origin but is divinely inspired. This hearing is not just physical but spiritual, indicating Ezekiel's receptivity to God's voice. It parallels other instances where prophets receive direct communication from God (e.g., <a href="/jeremiah/1-9.htm">Jeremiah 1:9</a>, <a href="/habakkuk/2.htm">Habakkuk 2:1</a>). This phrase underscores the importance of listening to God's voice in obedience and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, called by God to deliver His messages to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_spirit.htm">The Spirit</a></b><br>Refers to the Spirit of God, who empowers and enables Ezekiel to stand and receive God's message.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The speaker who communicates His will and message to Ezekiel through the Spirit.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a></b><br>The historical context in which Ezekiel receives his prophetic call, a time of judgment and hope for the Israelites.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The audience of Ezekiel's prophecies, who are in exile due to their disobedience to God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/e/empowerment_by_the_spirit.htm">Empowerment by the Spirit</a></b><br>Just as the Spirit entered Ezekiel and enabled him to stand and listen, believers today are empowered by the Holy Spirit to understand and act on God's will.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/readiness_to_hear_god's_voice.htm">Readiness to Hear God's Voice</a></b><br>Ezekiel's experience teaches us the importance of being spiritually prepared to hear and respond to God's voice in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_commissioning.htm">Divine Commissioning</a></b><br>God calls and equips His people for specific tasks.

(Comp. <a href="/context/isaiah/6-5.htm" title="Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the middle of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.">Isaiah 6:5-7</a>; <a href="/daniel/8-18.htm" title="Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.">Daniel 8:18</a>; <a href="/context/daniel/10-15.htm" title="And when he had spoken such words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.">Daniel 10:15-19</a>; <a href="/revelation/1-17.htm" title="And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand on me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:">Revelation 1:17</a>.) There can be no doubt, therefore, that <span class= "ital">the spirit </span>is here the Spirit of God, and not merely the prophet's own human vigour and courage; and this is made still more plain in <a href="/ezekiel/3-24.htm" title="Then the spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself within your house.">Ezekiel 3:24</a>. It was this which "set him upon his feet," and enabled him amid such surroundings of awe to receive the word spoken to him; for while the revelation by vision still remained before him (see <a href="/context/ezekiel/3-12.htm" title="Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.">Ezekiel 3:12-13</a>), he was now to be instructed also by the clearer revelation of the direct voice from heaven. We are not to think of any physical force exerted upon the prophet, but of all these things as still taking place in vision. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/2.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 2.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And the Spirit,</span> etc. It scarcely admits of question (though the Hebrew has no article, and so far Luther's Version, "Ich ward wieder erquickt," is tenable) that the word is used in the same sense as in <a href="/ezekiel/1-20.htm">Ezekiel 1:20, 21</a> (comp. <a href="/ezekiel/3-24.htm">Ezekiel 3:24</a>).
