Prophets in the Bible: Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel. Ezekiel 33:7

God calls the prophet Ezekiel "son of man" in the Bible, this is so because Ezekiel is a semi-divine person, like the angels. In the doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven, a person is a "son of man" like Daniel, Ezekiel or Jesus when that person personifies, makes in himself the perfections of God (Matthew 5:48).
In other words, the "man" who seeks the gift of mercy (compassion) becomes the "son of God" and when that mercy of God is personified in a prophet, that prophet is a representation of "God" who becomes the "son of man", a play on words. The kingdom of heaven is present in the Old Testament through the prophets.
In the book of Ezekiel the prophets of the Bible are compared to a sentinel who must give warning of the danger with the sound of a trumpet, the prophet is in charge of revealing to the people what is hidden of God and his perfect providence: "Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets" Amos 3:7-8. Beyond the priest, the prophet is the spiritual guide par excellence of the people: "Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint" Proverbs 29:18.
The Lord gives a spiritual mission to the prophet Ezekiel, correct men from the path of error and lead them towards salvation and the conversion of hearts:
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, ´You wicked person, you will surely die,´ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved" Ezekiel 33:7-9.
