Lessons from Ezekiel: Warnings and Responsibilities

1-minute read Tuesday’s Verse, 4/1/25

“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.” Ezekiel 33:6 NIV Read full chapter

Commentary: In ancient times, cities placed watchmen on their walls to guard against any form of trouble – whether an invading army outside the city gates or a fire or disturbance within. These guardians were solemnly charged with sounding the alarm at the first sight of threat; to remain silent meant forfeiting one’s own life. God had made Ezekiel a watchman for the entire people of Israel, to warn that its continued disobedience to God would surely result in divine judgment… God has placed upon every Christian the responsibility of being a watchman, warning others “to flee from the coming wrath” (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)
