"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me".
The Spirit while organizing it sets the period and speech as directly coming from God so seven days indicates more than number of days and 'therefore hear the word at my mouth' carries more than what it merely says. Seven denotes period for the message to be fully understood and the second which is formula we have come across at several places in its various forms. It refers to where it comes from and not to be taken literally. So Ezekiel's trust must be complete; consequently the message is to be delivered to the recipient without any dilution or addition on his part. The principle is same as Jesus said, "For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you(Matt.10:20; Lk 12:12).
We have another example of the prayer of Jonah from the belly of the great fish, It is as finished in its composition and as in the manner the fish obeys the Lord God.."And theLordspake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land( Jonah 2:10)". It is the Spirit that helps with our infirmities and God the Spirit shall know when we pray in distress as Hannah prayer was heard, though out of intense distress no word would come out of her. Young Samuel was the proof that God heard her cry. He fully appreciates our circumstances. In this present crisis it is He who tracks and checks you so you shall not come to harm. Similarly when God chooses you for His ministry he knows how to get the best out of you. So Moses would serve His purpose as Jeremiah did. His tender age was no excuse. When the Lord Almighty has foreknown you and formed and shaped your world to which you enter as His watchman and as a sign are we to fool around with people who despise things of the Spirit?.
Ezekiel had a task however unpleasant it was between God and him. He was under the burden.
