Spirit

The Spirit enters Ezekiel here to physically lift him to his feet after he falls facedown — the same empowering presence that will later open his mouth when God chooses to speak through him.

The Spirit's absence from the reassembled bodies is a deliberate dramatic pause — God uses it to make the point that physical form without His breath is still death, setting up the second prophetic command.

The Spirit is referenced as the one who produces peace, reinforcing Paul's argument that orderly worship isn't a constraint on the Spirit's work but actually the evidence of it.

The Spirit is presented here as the active producer of the nine-fold fruit — the commentary's point is that keeping in step with the Spirit is the practical daily choice that allows this fruit to grow.

The Spirit is the active agent of cosmic renewal here — poured out from on high, He transforms the physical landscape as an expression of the justice and righteousness He establishes.

The Spirit descends on Jesus like a dove the moment He emerges from the water — then immediately drives Him into the wilderness, showing both affirmation and urgent mission.
