THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WATCHMAN

Watching for the coming sudden destruction is a command that has a responsibility: A command to warn others. This command to warn has a consequence that the blood of anyone who dies from the coming judgment whom you don’t warn will be on your head.

Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman (Yahshua commanded us all to watch): “..so that he may not come suddenly and find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, WATCH.” — Yahshua, Mark 13:26-37

“But if the WATCHMAN sees the sword coming and does not blow the ram’s horn, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes a soul from them, he is taken in his iniquity. But I will require his blood from the WATCHMAN’s hand.” — Eze 33:6

How can the watchman be held accountable for something that is impossible for him to know? How much “warning” is the watchman reasonably expected to have during which he is expected to warn others?

Now there are two kinds of warnings… “Yahshua is coming someday… so you had better watch!“ which is what everyone should be warning about so that everyone can be watching. After all we could all die any day. This state of alarm cannot be too high intensity, or it cannot be sustained.

But what about when one finally gains the wisdom and understanding to know beyond reasonable doubt? When there are a half dozen independent witnesses from scripture and history that are then confirmed by the sun, moon, and stars? What then?

Well that is called seeing the sword coming and sounding the alarm as loudly as you can to as many as you can. If you are to rebuke such a watchman then such a rebuke must come with strong evidence that the nuke he saw on radar was really just a flock of birds. Claims that “no one can read the radar” are not useful.

Upon hearing the alarm of the watchman, your job is to investigate the evidence for yourself and test it against scripture and with the Spirit. Then you can decide whether you should act on the alarm. Telling such a person to “be quiet” and “don’t be so confident” must come with strong evidence showing the watchman what facts he misinterpreted.

Consequences for False Alarm

From time to time my home alarm goes off because the wind blew open the door, or I forgot to disarm it. After a brief rush of adrenaline, I access the situation and verify that no one is breaking in. The security company calls to confirm and then everything is OK. I don’t get mad at the false alarm and disable it because one day it could be a real alarm. Every such alarm must be vetted and not dismissed as an assumed false alarm.

When anyone presents you with evidence of Judgment Day or Rapture on a particular date it is your personal responsibility to vet the information and draw your own conclusions. Do not quit your job, sell everything you own, or rack up debt expecting to escape and then get angry if the watchman made a mistake. We are all commanded to watch; therefore, we are all commanded to do our own homework. Use another watchman’s warning as a wakeup call to start to study.

Only after your own study should you act and only after you have determined that you have no one to blame but yourself for getting it wrong. If you choose to outsource your duty to watch, then do not blame the watchman for getting it wrong — blame yourself for choosing the wrong watchman but forgive the watchman he was only doing his best.

Watchman’s Actions are Louder than Words

If you see a watchman that is pointing out dates but isn’t changing his life because of them then you know he doesn’t really believe anything he is saying. If they cry wolf on a regular basis then you should probably tune them out so you don’t miss the warnings of more reliable watchmen.

But just because some watchmen cry wolf, doesn’t logically mean all watchmen can be tuned out. The blood of those who tune out the true watchmen because of the watchmen that cry wolf may be on the head of those who cry wolf.
