Watchman On the Wall

The phrase 'Watchman On the Wall' occurs repeatedly in the Old Testament. The
'Watchman' refers to the Standing Guards that perch as lookouts on the fortified walls
of  the outer perimeters of a city. They were, typically, the first line of defense.
In the Biblical sense when Yahweh refers to his Watchmen. He is talking about his
Prophets who warn about impending danger.

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 
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.  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? ~  Ezekiel 33: 1-10 NLT

 
Today, the phrase 'Proselytizers' is commonly used to refer to people who share their faith.

The crux behind the Gospel of Yeshua is he, said it, himself. All Christians should go
throughout the World Baptizing Disciples in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
(Matthew 28:18).He commanded, not a suggestion or recommendation. I must admit
Christians may, more often than not, try to 'Pepper' the Gospel on non-believers. What
non-believers are ignorant or unaware of the consequences of rejecting the Gospel. The
Prophet Daniel refers to the Time of the End

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.
