Contextual Overview

1"Son of man," He said to me, "stand up on your feet and I will speak to you." 2And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.3"Son of man," He said to me: "I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day the Israelites and their fathers have transgressed against Me. 4They are obstinate and hardhearted children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, 'This is what the Lord GOD says.' 5And whether they listen or refuse to listen-for they are a rebellious house-they will know that a prophet has been among them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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, and in the wheels; in the ministers, and in the churches; who entered with his gifts to qualify him for his office as a prophet; and who enters with his graces into the hearts of all the saints, to quicken, renew, comfort, and sanctify them:

when he spake unto me; at the same time the Spirit went along with the word; and when the word of Christ is attended with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power, it is effectual:

and he set me upon my feet; not he that spake with him, and bid him stand on his feet; but the Spirit; for the word, though it is the word of God, and of Christ, yet is ineffectual without the Spirit; when he enters, he gives the word a place, and it works effectually; when he enters, as the Spirit of life from Christ, the soul is quickened and strengthened; and such that are fallen down stand up; yea, such as are dead arise and stand upon their feet:

that I heard him that spake unto me; so as to understand; for the Spirit, who searches the deep things of God, reveals them to his ministers, and causes them to understand the word of Christ, that they may be able to instruct others in it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The spirit - i. e. “the Spirit of God.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 2:2. And the spirit entered into me — This spirit was different to that mentioned above, by which the wheels, c., were moved. The spirit of prophecy is here intended whose office was not merely to enable him to foresee and foretell future events, but to purify and refine his heart, and qualify him to be a successful preacher of the word of life.

He who is sent by the God of all grace to convert sinners must be influenced by the Holy Ghost; otherwise he can neither be saved himself, nor become the instrument of salvation to others.

And set me upon my feet — That he might stand as a servant before his master, to receive his orders.
