In Ezekiel 3:16-27, Ezekiel was appointed to be a watchman for Israel and to be responsible for bringing God’s Word to his people. Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven describes the watchman’s dependency on his senses, his responsibility towards his people, and his call to perseverance.
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me.”
