New Heart, New Spirit,_18PT2 Ezekiel 22:23-31This message names the recipients of the judgment: princes (v. 25), priests (vv. 26-27), prophets (v. 28), and people (v. 29).The leaders used their power for material gain, ravaging the people like a... lion.In their greed they took treasures and precious things; and they murdered, thus making many wives widows. Instead of being examples to the people, the leaders were corrupt despots.Other government officials besides those in the royal family (princes, 22:25) were also guilty of unjust gain. Instead of equitably dispensing justice and upholding the rights of the disadvantaged, they were like wolves tearing their prey.The corruption was so complete that when God searched for a man who could stem the tide of national destruction (build up the wall and stand... in the gap), none could be found. No one in a position of authority in Israel had the moral qualities to lead the nation aright. Obviously Jeremiah had these qualities, but he lacked the authority to lead the nation from the brink of disaster.Will you stand in the Gap for America and your family?
