NASB | Ezekiel 22:30 "I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ezekiel 22:30 "I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for [the sake of] the land, that I would not destroy it, but I found no one [not even one]. |
Subject: What does standing in the gap mean? |
Bible Note: This can also be an example of what we can do on a personal level. A friend of mine lost her young son (early 20's), his wife and unborn child in a motorcycle-semitruck accident. As you can imagine, she was despondent and grief stricken for a long time, striking out at the God she had loved for so long. She told me if it weren't for the people that were "standing in the gap" for her, praying and interceding for her when she couldn't pray for herself because of her anger at God and her despair, she might never have come back to the God that was calling her. |
