Unlike Ezekiel, we are not inspired to prophesy to the people. We are. however, determined to continue delivering the inspired message that Jehovah has preserved in his written Word until the preaching work has been completed to his satisfaction. When the time of judgment arrives, the people in our territory will have no basis to say that they did not receive a warning or that God overlooked them. (Ezekiel 3:19; 18:24) Instead, they will have to recognize that the message we preached came from God.
What will give us strength to fulfill our ministry? The same three factors that strengthened Ezekiel. We keep preaching because we know that we have been sent by Jehovah, we are empowered by God's holy spirit, and we are nourished by God's Word. With Jehovah's help, we are motivated to carry out our ministry and endure "to the end." - MATTHEW 24:13.
