Again, in Ezekiel 32, we read about God's judgment on
Egypt. God's Word of judgment is awesome. There is a real sense of the
holiness of God. Men cannot do what they like, and expect that God will
not punish them. When we read of such things, it becomes clear to us
that it is better to listen to God and obey His Word than to ignore him
and invite Him to send His judgment into our lives.
In Ezekiel 33,
we read about the ministry of "the watchman." He listens to God's Word
and speaks the Word of warning to the people (Ezekiel 33:7). He
declares the love of God - "I don't want wicked people to die ... I want
them to turn from their ways and live" (Ezekiel 33:10). The warning is
spoken as the voice of love, calling sinners to draw back from the way
that leads to death, to turn to the Lord and live.
