While the role of watchman is most identified with Ezekiel, and the term “watchman” appears more in Ezekiel than any other Prophetic Book, this role really does belong to all the prophets. Each of them is a guardian of the Law. Bible scholar Gregory Mobley writes:

For the biblical prophets the Mosaic tradition, the Torah, served as the lens for interpreting the deepest, truest story. The Mosaic Torah was considered to be the instruction manual for human life. Those persons, those communities who followed the instructions, observing its times and seasons, its patterns and progressions, were in tune with the underlying principles that structured the cosmos, and approached a state of harmony with God and creation, their word for which was shalom. Those who lived contrary to these patterns were moving against the grain of creation itself and courted disaster.
