Subject: vision or physical or both

Bible Note: Dear Brother Doc,

Thanks for your input. However, further help is needed.

I have no problem with the power of the Spirit to transport anyone as in the case of Philip you cited.

For the case of Ezekiel, he should be amidst of the exiles beside the river Chebar already (see 1:1) before the vision came upon him.

So, do you mean that Ezekiel had been taken away to somewhere else (not recorded in the scripture) per v14 and back again to the riverside of Chebar (v15)?

If that's the case, it might be much clearer to say "the Spirit lifted me up and took me away to the side of river Chebar" (I definitely have no intention to twist scriptures). Meanwhile v15 "Then I came..." is more in the sense of an active voice. So, to me, v14 and v15 appeared to be describing two individual instances - one both spiritual and physical and the other physical. (Well, this might not be a proper classificaiton, hope you understand what I mean).

Perhaps I have missed something. Thanks again for enlightening this confused mind :-)

Shalom
