The Hand of the Lord Is on a Prophet

Greenberg: God's hand is in the Old Testament, Old Testament thinking and Old Testament theology. When it lights upon a prophet, he may be charged with an uncanny strength," Greenberg says. "It detaches him from his surroundings and transports him in spirit to far away places" He adds that Ezekiel would have this sense again, a sensory experience where he knew something was going to happen.
