33 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,
sounds the alarm o 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 the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to
warn the
people, he is responsible for their . 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

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? ~ Ezekiel 33: 1-10 NLT

12 “At that time Michael, the archangel[a]
who stands guard over your nation, will
arise. Then there will be a
time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into
existence. But at that time every one of your people whose name is
written in the book
will be rescued. 2 Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up,
some to
everlasting and some to shame and everlasting disgrace. 3 Those who
are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will
shine like the stars forever. 4 But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the
book until the
time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will
increase.” ~ Daniel 12 NLT
This is best described as a 'Deer Staring into the Headlights'. This is a phenomenon
known as being momentarily blinded or mersmerized by the Headlights of a car when
shown upon. Imagine, if you will. You are walking on some railway tracks and bright
lights suddenly appear shinning out of a tunnel. You freeze, a passerby, starts to Yell
and Holler at you. It would definitely appear to look like the person is being rude and
obnoxious. However, if you look deeper into the context of his or her intentions. You
realize that, their concern is, for your Safety.
