The Role of the Watchman
In biblical times, watchmen guarded the city—alert for threats and ready to sound the trumpet. Spiritually, we watch and warn at God’s instruction (Ezekiel 33:6), standing in the gap for families, churches, cities, and nations.
- Be knowledgeable and discerning.
- Speak against injustice.
- Be vigilant, sober, and alert.
- Follow God’s will and direction.
