Watchman must warn


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a believer, we have a responsibility to show out sin for our fellow believer who are sinning.

Ezekiel 33:2-5 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, ‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land shall take a man from their borders and shall make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming upon the land, and shall blow the ram’s horn and shall warn the people, then whoever shall hear the sound of the ram’s horn and shall not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood is on his own head. ‘He heard the sound of the ram’s horn, but he did not take warning, his blood is on himself. But he who takes warning shall deliver his being.

Ezekiel 33:7 And you, son of man, I gave you as a watchman to the house of Israel. And you shall hear the Word from My mouth and warn them from Me.

Yah choose Ezekiel to be a watchman, to warn the house of Yisrael.


 








Ezekiel 33:6 ‘But if the watchman sees the sword coming and shall not blow the ram’s horn, and the people shall not be warned, and the sword comes and takes any being from among them, he is taken away in his crookedness, and his blood I require at the watchman’s hand.’

For the watchmen that do not take responsibility to warn those of their wrong doings will be responsible for his own life.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yah warns the watchman in Ezekiel 33:8 that they will be punished for not warning the sinner of his wrong doings.

Those sinners who hear the voice of the watchman will repent and return to Yah’s ways but those who hear but do not do shall be judged.

It’s the believer’s duty to warn the sinner and if the sinner does not hear, the believer has tried and will be rewarded with life – Ezekiel 33:9.


 








Matthew 18:15-17 “And if your brother sins against you, go and reprove him, between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. “But if he does not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word might be established.’ “And if he refuses to hear them, say it to the assembly. And if he refuses even to hear the assembly, let him be to you like a gentile and a tax collector.

Leviticus 5:1 ‘And when a being sins in that he has heard the voice of swearing, and is a witness, or has seen, or has known, but does not reveal it, he shall bear his crookedness.


 










Ezekiel 33:15-16 if the wrong restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the laws of life without doing crookedness, he shall certainly live; he shall not die. “None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him – he has done right and righteousness; he shall certainly live.

This is the gospel; repent of your sins, your sins will be forgiven and you will live.

Be a watchman for Yah.
