Who Is The Watchman

Isaiah 62
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Do a little reading and you find that the watchmen could be angels or kings or mourners or princes or civil magistrates. The phrase is powerful and triggers thoughts of our fears and also thoughts of those who protect us.  I believe watchmen are the prophets of the Old Testament and ministers of the Gospel in the New Testament.

The rest of the passage suggests we pray and pray until Jesus, the Messiah, comes.....
