Ezekiel 11:1
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Ezekiel's ministry belongs among the Israelite captives between the years 595 and 574, beginning and closing just a little later than Jeremiah's work. It was given through a man of a priestly family. This passage stands among awful messages of warning and reproof directed to sinners among his own people. It came after wonderful visions in which God's glory and great majesty were revealed to him, so that having seen God he would not fear the face of man.
The lifting by the Spirit and bringing to the east gate of the Lord's house is an experience in which it cannot be told whether the transport was bodily or by vision. It illustrates the same uncertainty as over whether the man caught up to Paradise was in the body or outside of it. The question is whether third-heaven glory was shown in vision in the highest sense or whether there was actual bodily transport thither.
