And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.
The title here given to Ezekiel, as often afterwards, is very observable. God, when he speaks to him, calls him, Son of man (Eze 2:1, Eze 2:3), Son of Adam, Son of the earth. Daniel is once called so (Dan 8:17) and but once; the compellation is used to no other of the prophets but to Ezekiel all along. We may take it, 1. As a humble diminishing title.
Commenting on Ezekiel 2:1-5
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...
spirit entered . . . when he spake--The divine word is ever accompanied by the Spirit (Gen 1:2-3). set . . . upon . . . feet--He had been "upon his face" (Eze 1:28). Humiliation on our part is followed by exaltation on God's part (Eze 3:23-24; Job 22:29; Jam 4:6; Pe1 5:5).
