Do you see someone about to get hit by a truck? Ezekiel 31-36

Have you ever had to tell someone they are standing in the street and about to get hit by a truck?  Not literally, but figuratively?  We all have friends, family or associates who make mistakes and find themselves in the middle of the road ... in a place that certain danger is about to take place.   To better understand our responsibility to those we see "standing in the road" we could take a look at the Prophet Ezekiel.   In Ezekiel 33 we read instructions from God to the prophet about the "watchmen."     A "watchmen" in ancient words was as important as a guard post along the nations boarders.    The watchmen would take their position along the walls of the city and alert those in the city to dangers that might be approaching.   If the watchmen saw something he would blow a trumpet as an alarm.   God tells the prophet that if the watchmen blows a trumpet and no one listens it will be their problem that they didn't take heed to the watchmen's alarm.  God states He will not hold the watchmen accountable.  If, on the other hand, the watchmen neglects to sound the alarm and fails to warn the people. If the people are injured than God tells the prophet He will hold the watchmen accountable.   The message is clear: If we see someone in the middle of a road and about to get hit by a truck, our job is to shout a warning.   We are not to worry if they don't move.  That is painful for them.   But, if we, out of fear, or pride, or anger, or ignorance, or whatever, fail to sound an "alarm", God will hold us responsible.   So, we are not to worry if they yell back at us to "mind our own business" or to "stay out of it" or "who do you think you are."   We are to sound the alarm.  God will hold us responsible if we don't.
