HOW DOES PROPHECY AFFECT YOU OR ME PERSONALLY?

• At the end of that week the Lord said to me, Son
  of man, I have called you to be a watchman for
  the house of Israel. So listen to what I have to
  say and then warn the people for me.
• When I give you a message for a wicked man, such
  as, You will surely die unless you change your
  ways, and you dont warn him and he dies in his
  sins, I will hold you responsible. (Ezekiel 316,
  17.)

22
HOW PROPHECY AFFECTS US

• But if you warn him and he doesnt repent of his
  wickedness and change his ways, but dies in his
  sins, I will not hold you responsible for what
  happens to him. (Ezekiel 319.)

23
HOW PROPHECY AFFECTS US

• Or, if a righteous man turns from doing what is
  right and does wickedly, and I place an obstacle
  in his way to help him wake up, and you dont go
  and warn him for me and he dies in his sins, I
  will hold you responsible. All the good thing he
  has done will not be remembered nor taken into
  account. (Ezekiel 320.)

24
HOW PROPHECY AFFECTS US

• But if you go and warn him and he repents and
  turns from his wicked ways, he will surely live,
  because he took to heart what I had to say, and
  there is nothing to hold you responsible for.
  (Ezekiel 321.)

  dawn, and the daystar arise in your hearts. 2
