Joe: Alright, so what have we got for Ezekiel chapter 33?

Bible Expert: Well, Ezekiel 33 is about a watchman's responsibility to warn people of impending danger, and the consequences of not doing so.

Joe: Alright, so this watchman's gotta warn people of danger?

Bible Expert: Yes, God told Ezekiel that he was to be a watchman for the people of Israel. He was to warn them when they were doing wrong and were in danger of God's judgement.

Joe: Okay, so what happens if he doesn't warn them?

Bible Expert: If he doesn't warn them and they are judged, then the watchman will be held accountable for their deaths.

Joe: Wow, that's some serious stuff. So what happens if the watchman does warn them?

Bible Expert: If the watchman does warn them and they still choose to ignore his warnings, then the watchman will not be held accountable for their deaths.

Joe: That's interesting. So it looks like the watchman still has a responsibility even if people don't listen.

Bible Expert: That's right. God's judgement will still come regardless of whether or not people listen. The watchman just has to do his best to warn them.

Jamie: I just Googled it, and it looks like Ezekiel 33 is also a prophecy about the restoration of Israel and the joy that will bring.

Bible Expert: That's right. God promised Ezekiel that the Israelites would be restored and that there would be great joy when it happened.
