The Watchman’s Cry
Ezekiel 33:7
God designates Ezekiel as a watchman—an individual who perceives the Lord’s voice and carries the burden of divine admonition. This commission is not a mark of honor but a responsibility of accountability. In the Messianic context, the watchman serves as both a prophet and a herald of the Messiah, proclaiming the imperative of repentance and the proximity of redemption.
The prophetic responsibility encompasses two fundamental actions: listening and admonishing. The watchman does not fabricate his message; he heeds the word of the Lord. Upon receipt, he is obligated to convey it accurately, irrespective of its popularity or expense.
This corresponds with the ministry of Yeshua (Jesus), the paramount Watchman. He arrived not merely to caution but to salvage. He was not positioned on a wall, but elevated on a cross. His admonitions were coupled with solicitations: “Come unto me, all ye that labour…” (Matthew 11:28).
The role of the watchman persists in our current time. Every believer who embodies the prophetic spirit of the Messiah must be vigilant, unyielding, and prepared. We must detect the times, protect the congregation, and articulate what we receive from His mouth—without alteration.
This is not alarmism; it is affection conveyed via veracity. Warnings constitute gestures of compassion. The sound of the shofar serves not only as a warning of peril but also as a call to restore the heart to the covenant.
The sentinel listens before to articulating.
The prophetic obligation encompasses admonishing with compassion and immediacy.
The Messiah embodied the diligent Watchman, articulating what He received from the Father.
Contemporary adherents are summoned to maintain this identical stance: vigilant, compliant, and valiant.
The sound of the shofar serves as both an exhortation to repentance and a proclamation of the King's arrival.
