Ezekiel 22:30 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.
What a calling — to be a gap man.
The imagery before us is an enemy invasion.
A part of the wall was broken down by the battering rams of the opposing army. The people on the inside fled for cover. Then, a young soldier ran towards the breach over toppled stones toward the invading hordes and started swinging his sword. Other veterans saw the man’s courage and rushed to the gap. Together, they fended off the attackers to save the city.
Oh, that every church in America had a gap man . . . but they don’t.
Through the years I’ve heard motivational speakers talk about the need for a gap man as it applies to missions, evangelism, helping the poor, and starting food banks. But, this is not the context.
The context is an invasion of evil. A gap man was needed to stand against evil invading the land.
Note the context: “a land not cleansed” – v. 24. Sound familiar?
There is corruption among the prophets who because of their love for money are compared to ravenous lions – v. 25. He calls them liars and propagandists in v. 28.
Her priests violated God’s law and no longer made a distinction between the holy and the unholy, good and evil, right and wrong. In their minds, all behaviors were good – v. 26
Her civil rulers plundered the people to enrich themselves. Ezekiel compares them to a pack of wolves attacking an helpless lamb – v. 27.
The enemies of the people were its political leaders. And, the evil done was tangible, not intangible; material, not immaterial. Oppression and robbery in the name of taxation and fines ruled the day. Corruption in the courts, the government, and the religious institutions of the nation reached a critical mass.
God called for a gap man–a moral man . . . a Bible man . . . a legal-minded man to stand up against the attackers . . . a man of salt . . . a man tougher than a sack full of hammers.
Likewise, God is looking for a gap man in your city to stand against the liberal army that has invaded America.
The walls are broken down through the battering rams of mass media. Baby killers, Sodomites, lesbians, pornographers, internationalists, black racists, Muslims, Islamic terrorists, and radical potty-mouth feminists have risen up to attack the foundation of Christianity that has guided America for good throughout the centuries. Even the boy scouts are permitting transvestites, Sodomites, and feminists to lead them.
We need gap men, not to start sugar-coated ministries, but men who are mentally and theologically and legally equipped to dismantle the arguments of the loud-mouthed crazies that always seem to find a platform to air their pathological nonsense at Americans.
America needs gap men in the churches, in the media, in government, and in education–men to stand up against the idealistic nonsense that we call “liberalism;” that is, against humanists, Marxists, communists, demoralizers, anarchists, antinomians, and antichrists.
God is looking for a gap man to stand up to the invading hordes . . . a man that can discern between good and evil, truth and lies . . . a man that knows the difference between lawful and legal, the holy and unholy, righteousness and wickedness . . . a studied man that can debate the insanity of our age.
The want of gap men is sobering . . .
“I sought for a man to stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it . . .”
And, the lack of competent gap men is just as sobering,
” . . . but I found none.”
“Oh, Lord, raise up gap men in America.” Amen.
