The Spirit's Enabling Power
Commentators unanimously identify "the Spirit" as the Holy Spirit of God. After being overwhelmed by God's glory, Ezekiel didn't stand up by his own strength. The Spirit entered him, providing the divine power needed to stand, listen, and be ready for his mission. This shows that God doesn't just call us; He graciously provides the strength to fulfill that call.
