Abstract
Abstract In the movement from Judah to Babylon during the exile and from judgment to hope throughout the book of Ezekiel, the Spirit of Yahweh participates in divine actions, prophetic speech, revelatory and visionary experiences, and future restoration—revealing the Spirit as the purifying, personal, and permanent presence of Yahweh among his people. First, the Spirit reveals the glory of Yahweh and then separates his glory from the sinfulness of Israel and Judah, indicating the purifying holiness of Yahweh’s presence and ensuing fire of divine judgment. Second, the Spirit’s connection to divine actions and divine anthropomorphisms demonstrates the personal presence of Yahweh in relational and restorative pursuit of his covenant people. Third, Yahweh promises to resurrect, reunify, and restore Israel and Judah by the implantation of his Spirit into their hearts and by the outpouring of his Spirit upon them, so that his presence will dwell among them permanently.
