Ezekiel 33
Ezekiel as Israel’s Watchman
1 Once again a message came to me from the Lord: 2 “Son of man, give your people this message: ‘When I bring an army against a country, the people of that land choose one of their own to be a watchman. 3 When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he sounds the alarm to warn the people. 4 Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action, it is their own fault if they die. 5 They heard the alarm but ignored it, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives. 6 But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their deaths.’
7 “Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel. Therefore, listen to what I say and warn them for me. 8 If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 9 But if you warn them to repent and they don’t repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.
The Watchman’s Message
10 “Son of man, give the people of Israel this message: You are saying, ‘Our sins are heavy upon us; we are wasting away! How can we survive?’ 11 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?
What a chock-full chapter! Praise Yah the wicked can repent and live! I am one! Secondly, vs 25 reminded me of the minimum requirement Paul mentions in the Brit HaDasha for the Greeks to hear the Word in the temple when they “converted” to Messiah. And vs 33 reminds us that when a TRUE prophet speaks of Yah, whatever they say will happen! So much blessing in these words. HalleluYah! Shalom, brother Paul. Blessings to you. Glad to hear your voice. Ahmein.
I love those scriptures….they reveal how pure and loving Yahwah/Yeshua really is!
You sound like you need more herbal tea and sprouts brother Paul. : ) YaH be with you!
Repentance surely brings times of refreshing, and peace and joy and thankfulness
