After many requests for the full version, God was gracious and allowed me to encounter it. I found the entire episode that replaced the shortened clip that was originally published on February 5, 2017. “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” In Ezekiel 22, God is not happy with Israel. They are in big trouble spiritually. They are losing the battle. They are drifting farther and farther away from God (much like our own nation). God calls attention to many of their problems and failures and makes the point that they need not be destroyed if someone would step up the build the wall and stand in the gap. Ezekiel 22:30, “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.” This verse is a reference to an earlier warning that maybe speaks even more clearly; Ezekiel 13:5, “You have not gone up to the breaks in the wall to repair it for the house of Israel so that it will stand firm in the battle on the day of the LORD.” Israel was, in fact destroyed. Leveled. People led off captive to Assyria. Today, as we find ourselves in a very similar situation in which the same immoral conditions prevail, we can expect similar tragedy unless people are found who are ready and willing to step up and repair the breaks in the wall and fill the gaps. The Lord did not find a man in Israel during that time that could stand in the gap. But in time Jesus Christ was born exactly as God had planned, Galatians 4:4, “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, The Man to stand in the gap. Are YOU willing to step up and fill the gap? Let’s consider how any one of us might step up to fill a “gap” in our spiritual line of defense. A lot of times, when someone sees that something needs to be done, their immediate reaction is, “But that’s not my job!” and so the hole goes unfilled. Be Christ like and become that person of God who will do whatsoever God asks, there is a sure eternal reward to the faithful believer.
