God's Appointed Guardians
Commentators overwhelmingly identify the "watchmen" not as angels, but as God's appointed spiritual leaders—prophets and pastors. God Himself sets them in place to guard His people, defend the truth, and remain perpetually vigilant against spiritual danger. As John Calvin notes, this is a remarkable kindness from God, showing His deep care for the church's safety.
