The Siege - Addendum |
This was Abu Graib before it happened. And the Watchman screamed the warning. We were shown the occupation of a heavily populated urban area and the resulting panic, terror and outrage of the occupants. And we thought it only a fantasy.
Ezekiel 33:2-7 (KJV) Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
{3} If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
{4} Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
{5} He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
{6} But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
{7} So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
