qqqqq^ THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD qqqqq 35
that the Spirit went out of him after He entered
him in Ezekiel 2:2. He hadn’t gone out of him,
yet He took him up again in Ezekiel 3:12.
There’s another interesting operation of the
Spirit in verse 14:
“So the spirit lifted me up, and took me
away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat
of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was
strong upon me”
(Ezekiel 3:14).
Ezekiel said the Spirit lifted him up and took
him away. That’s got to be an outside force! The
same Spirit of the Lord that entered into Ezekiel
was still ministering to him from the outside.
A similar event is recorded in the New
Testament in Acts 8:39:
“And when they were come up out of the
water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away
Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more:
and he went on his way rejoicing.”
