Ezekiel A Watchman : Ezekiel 33
First Ezekiel 33:1-6 NIV
The word of the Lord came to me "Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: When I bring a sword against a land, and the people of their land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head. Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.
Ezekiel 33:7-9
Son of man, I have made you watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you will surely die, and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.

Heavy responsibility to be a Watchman; especially called by God to do so. However, it's not just the watchmen who have that responsibility, you do too, as a child of God. There are those people called specifically to be a Watchman; but then there are the responsibility of fellow christians to be mindful of each other. More about that later.
Give these verses some careful thought, I have a NIV Study Bible, concordance, etc.... Of course the all resourceful Internet, lol
Please let me know your thoughts on this subject, and or your questions. We can learn together.
More on the Watchman Ezekiel ... either later tonight or tomorrow.
