But if the watchman sees the sword coming.

There are many today that are arguing that, the Christian religion has taken on the part of the aggressor, and not the taim religion, that many believe it is. Christianity has become the most hated religion in the world second only to Judaism. The Jews and Christians are intertwined together, one cannot be separated from the other, for we are both brothers and sisters in Christ, we as believers in Jesus as the Messiah, and the Jews, waiting on Him.

We are persecuted for our testimony of the words of God and His Christ.
The Ten Commandments, the prophecies, the abominations that Gods states will end in death, and the other words of the true God.
We are commanded by the Lord to testify of Him, and His Son. We are also commanded by the Lord to warn them that are unruly and those that are lost, that a judgment day is fastly approaching.

“But if the watchman sees the sword,(death.), coming,(is at hand,near.), and does not blow the trumpet,
(Warning.) and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes
a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity,(that person shall die in their sins.); but his blood,(Life.),
I will require from the watchman's hand.”(To call to account for.)

“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.”

Wicked;

Evil in principle or practice; deviating from the divine law; addicted to vice; sinful; immoral. This is a word of comprehensive signification, extending to every thing that is contrary to the moral law, and both to persons and actions. The wicked, in Scripture, persons who live in sin; transgressors of the divine law; all who are unreconciled to God, unsanctified or impenitent.(Not repenting of sin; not contrite; obdurate; of a hard heart.)



In this instance the word,”Life.” refers not to the physical life, for all must die, but to the spiritual life, the soul.


The immorality of man has reached greater heights in these last days.

Many are looking for an easy way out of their sins, many even saying that permissive sex(having multiple partners.) is all a part of life, and their view of other religions are the same as Christianity, they all being deceived by their own lust.

Sin and unrighteousness, takes on many forms, from murder, rape, theft, to homosexuality, transgender lifestyles("Non-identification with, or non-presentation as, the sex (and assumed gender) one was assigned at birth." ), and same sex marriages.


But we are assured, by the Lord, that if we, as believers in Christ and His word, instruct these people of their error, we will not be held accountable for their rejection of the truth, as stated here;

“Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.”

Delivered; Freed; released; transferred or transmitted; passed from one to another; committed; yielded; surrendered; rescued; uttered; pronounced.



Of warning the righteous who sin willingly.

Again, “When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.”


I have yet to meet the perfect Christian.

I have never seen any Christian that still, after being saved, that has not been tempted of their own lust.

For there is none perfect, no not one, there is none righteous but the Father. We all have problems in this life.

We all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.

We all must continually look unto ourselves to find, and repair, any lingering failures, and sins, we have according to the scripture;


“ Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.”

“Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.”


Read and understand.

“And thou, son of man(being born of woman.), be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.”
