“The Lord’s
glory rose from the angels” (Ezekiel 10:4); “The Spirit lifted me”
(Ezekiel 11:1 - These prophecies of Ezekiel bring us into the presence
of God. “The sound of the Almighty God when He speaks” (Ezekiel 10:5);
“The Lord’s Spirit came to me and told me to say” (Ezekiel 11:5) - When
we are in the Lord’s presence, He speaks His Word to us. He speaks to
us, so that we might speak for Him. “The Spirit lifted me up” (Ezekiel
11:24); “The Lord spoke His Word to me” (Ezekiel 12:1) - The Word and
the Spirit belong together. The Spirit inspires the Word. The Word
expresses the mind of the Spirit. “This is the divine revelation”
(Ezekiel 12:10); “This is what the Almighty Lord says, Everything that I
say will no longer be delayed. Whatever I say will happen, declares the
Almighty Lord” (Ezekiel 12:28). Through His Word and His Spirit, the
Almighty Lord is leading us on to His future. He is lifting us up to
glory - His heavenly and eternal glory.
