    GOD to be magnified in our hearts and mind as we go forward carrying out HIS will. Let's be the person the LORD is looking for ...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.

    31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

    Isaiah 9

    .

    6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

    7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

    Luke 2

    10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

    11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

    LORD to shine HIS glorious face upon all...

    Merry Christmas to all the brethren on this forum.

    As we recognize the dire situation in our country as in the current reading; let us also recognize that each of us may become that "... 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:"

    Let us agree to walk with the LORD and put forth HIS will and commandments first by carrying out HIS promises.

    1- Let us confess and repent of our own sins. 1 John 1:9

    2- Ephesians 2:8-10 Remember we are ordained to do good works!

    3- 2 Peter 3:9 love the lost

    4- Matthew 28:18-20 Go make disciples

    5- 2 Timothy 2:15 Study HIS word

    6- 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 Love, and apply HIS word

    7- 1 Timothy 2: 1-4 pray for "...all that are in authority..."

    8- Romans 10:1, 2 cultivate the desire and pray to GOD that all might be saved

    This is in no particular order and not exhaustive by any means. I am sure the brethren on this forum are able and capable to add to it to the glory and praise of the LORD.

    Titus 2:11-14 for while we wait and looking for that blessed hope; for HIS

    glorious appearing may we be "...Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;"

    Our hope must be only in CHRIST and no one else. GOD to shine HIS face on all who are on this forum and gloriously bless your situation.

    Hi Melissa. 'sostanza' is not an English word. We can see it in the Italian language & it almost always refers to 'substance or matter'. In the Italian Bible we find examples in Daniel 7:1, Luke 8:43, Luke 15:13, Hebrews 10:34. The sense of 'evil' is not found there.

    Which concordance has the word sostanza in it meaning evil
  • Olayinka lawal on Ezekiel 22 - 3 years ago
    So much to say here, it was just so amazing that God doesn't take pleasure in the death of a sinner. He called all men to repent. You can see the love of God in the two last verses of chapter 22, despite the anger of God upon their evil works.

    In verse 30. God still looked for a man that can stand in gap for them just as Abraham did in the book of Genesis for his nephew Lot and his household against distruction of Sodom. But God couldn't find anyone. The bible says in verse 31 they consumed their wrath upon themself.

    The lesson for us: We are not supposed to be condemning the situation of others rather we are to be standing in gap for them peradventure the Lord will shew them mercy. SHALOM

    Ezekiel 22:3

    "...idols against herself..."

    Not much different than the "modern church"; I.E. christ-mass, e'star, sun-day!

    All refutable "... according to the scriptures..."!!!

    Are we seeing 2 Chronicles 7:13 with the Covid-19 issue?

    Going to be very difficult to say no!
  • Obbie Beal on Ezekiel 22 - 4 years ago
    It is 2020 and the day and hour mention above has arrived again, and most are so drunk on this, that or whatever. individually or collectively so drunk we do not see GOD is allowing the above to repeat globally in 2020. Nevertheless we thank Jehovah /GOD for all HIS BLESSING, especially SALVATION through John 3:16-2. Also as the above WILL of GOD is carried out.... yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for GOD IS WITH ME.
  • Deborah on Ezekiel 22 - 4 years ago
    ezekiel sounds very familiar to me...it fits very well with today in the u.s. the u.s. is so far outside of GOD'S will that i am ashamed for us! i feel we have a lot to answer for when Christ returns and believe me GOD will pour out HIS wrath upon us as HE did israel! they are HIS chosen people and if HE punished them what do you think GOD will do to us!
  • Obbie Beal on Ezekiel 22 - 5 years ago
    This is the whole Earth in 2018.... Wow! Wow! Wow!
  • Alex on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    When we read about Gods Judgement and Wrath we must remember that our God is a God of LOVE BUT OUR GOD IS ALSO A CONSUMING FIRE THUS HIS JUDGEMENT IS HIS BAPTISM of FIRE, In the natural we chastise our kids simple we love em.Remember the potter saw the vessel was so marred he had to make a NEW VESSEL Gods wants to make NEW CREATURE outta us thus his Baptism of fire,(conversion) by his LOVE/FIRE.
  • Alex on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Disciple his judgement is his BAPTISM OF FIRE, He only wants to destroy our old evil Adamic nature.Satans seat, Our carnal minds is his ONLY ENEMY. When he rebuked peter refering to him as Satan he was rebuking PETER'S CARNAL MIND HIS ENEMY, THUS THE NEED FOR HIS BAPTISM,ITS JUST AS MALACHI SAYS WHO SHALL ABIDE THE DAY OF HIS COMING WHO SHALL STAND WHEN HE APEARS HE SHALL BE AS A REFINERS FIRE ETC
  • A disciple on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Alex; "He that commits sin IS OF THE DEVIL!" The Lord Jesus Christ is coming with vengeance in His heart to utterly destroy and take away from the earth all the wicked, and all causes of sin. If we still sin every day, then any day we die, we die a sinner; and we will go where sinners go!
  • A disciple on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Alex; "ITS SOMETHING HE HAS DONE AT CALVARY BY HIS BLOOD" unto what? I've said it so many times before, and will say it one more time: Unto what are we even being saved, if not to show forth the good works and GLORIFY OUR FATHER? THESE ARE THE WORDS which He spoke through His Prophets from the beginning of the world, and the grace wrought in us!
  • Alex on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Hiya Disciple GBU..But I disagree, All of our works are filthy rags, the scripture is very CLEAR neither circumcision nor uncircumcision BUT A NEW CREATURE MEANING NOTHIN WE CAN DO OR NOT DO,ITS SOMETHING HE HAS DONE AT CALVARY BY HIS BLOOD,We have to birth this new creature via his seed, his word planted in our hearts,We cannot Excercise ourselves into righteousness,ITS A GIFT VIA HEAING HIS WORD
  • Doug on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Paul said that day would not come on the believers unexpectedly, but the world. HE was talking about the day of GOD'S wrath the book of revelation. As believer were going to know. It's revealed in HOSES 6:2 and 2 PETER 3:8
  • A disciple on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Alex; "All these evil things come from within, and defile the man." The point is not that there is evil working in us that we cannot help; but completely contrary; that we are expected in walking after the Spirit, to exercise self control and cast down imaginations and keep our thoughts and our eyes under subjection in obedience! Is Christ the minister of bondage to corruption, or of holy freedom?
  • Alex on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Gods definition of righteousness and mans definition of righteousness is very different. All men CARRY THE STAIN AND SPOT OF ADAM. Thats y the scripture is saying there was none righteous NO NOT ONE simply b/c all men carry that horrible stain and spot of disobedient Adam,To be truly righteous WE ALL MUST BE BORNAGAIN OF AN INCORRUPTIBLE SEED.THATS GODS DEFINITION OF RIGHTEOUNESS to BIRTH CHRIST.
  • Alex on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Disciple Jesus said out of hearts of man ( meaning mankind ) proceeds all manner of evil there was none righteous no not one,TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS DON'T COME TILL THIS CORRUPTIble PUTS ON INCORRUPTION and this Mortal puts on IMMORTALITY When we are all changed in the twinkling of an eye, Then we will have a honest and good heart simply B/C Christ is gonna be formed in us,The KINGDOM IN US SINNERS.
  • A disciple on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Obbie; I don't agree with just saying that "We ALL" are doing, or have done so wickedly! I think it isn't really right to just say "Everybody" has done this or that, and is automatically wicked. The Scriptures don't teach that AT ALL! There are righteous and wicked, those with good and honest hearts with faith in Jesus Christ; and those who determine to be completely His enemies. Here is patience!
  • Obbie Beal on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    In the year 2017, all the sins mention in this chapter has become socially accepted by the USA, therefore the same GOD shall bring the same judjement (if not greater) on USA because like dirty lanundry the USA is ready for washing. The judgemnt can start any miniute of any hour of the day... WOW, WOW, WOW!
  • A disciple on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    "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." Reading carefully through every line of this Word we should be sickened and tremble at the fact that we have been guilty of all these things and have not obeyed to walk worthy of the great mercy extended to us; and our time is at the door!
  • BSP on Ezekiel 22 - 6 years ago
    Jehovah God expressed his wrath against those who were misusing their power, committing fraud, taking advantage of widows and orphans, murdering, and engaging in various form of sexual depravity. These ones were destroyed and we can be assured that Jehovah feels the same disgust today when he sees those who commit these acts and he will execute his judgment upon them.
  • ISAAC DAVIDSON on Ezekiel 22:30 - 8 years ago
    God reveals over people because he finds none of them to show compassion for the wandering or lost because of sins.
  • Gary on Ezekiel 22 - 8 years ago
    I like Ezekiel 22 1vs 31 day of will come very soon I being pray for the power of the Holy spirit we need to pray for this world GOD BLESS you all in christ's
  • Kathy on Ezekiel 22 - 8 years ago
    God is seeking for righteous people who will intervene on the behalf of the people left of this land which are sinners. God will judge those who profess to be of Christ which are not. God wants people whose heart is after him and his word.It is now time to forsake our own wicked ways, whether we are priest, prophets or preachers! God is a merciful God and he has no pleasure in destroying his own people. He came to save us and he called and died for all our sins if we would only repent of our unrighteousness. He loves us!
  • Esther. C.L Oliver on Ezekiel 22:30 - 9 years ago
    Praise GOD before Christ came nobody could stand in the gap, but after the death and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST, the barrier was broken by HIS blood, now as many as will make themselves available to be GOD 'S mouth or legs or hands HE will use to deliver others
  • Nwachukukwu Moses I on Ezekiel 22:30 - 9 years ago
    It beats my imagination how with so many preachers and ministers,the burden for souls in the heart of God have not yet been lifted.why are there no men who would stand in the gap when there are men here and there?it is because though men are present every where,they are not available for God to use them.
  • Twitch on Ezekiel 22 - 9 years ago
    THIS SHOULD PYU A LIGHT IN EVERYONES MIND THAT THE WAY WE LIVE IS NOT FOR GOD THE WAY WE SHOULD i SEE MY SELF IN TO MUCH WORLDLY THINGS AND god TELLS US WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE DO NOT UNDER STAND AND THINGS ARE VERY CLOSE TO HIS RETURN ONE DAY WHEN WE DO NOT KNOW
  • Mary on Ezekiel 22 - 9 years ago
    Ezekiel 22 30 the reason why God is not getting any man to stand in the gap its because Gods people are so much busy doing their things their minds and their ears are fully occupied with Worldly things, they cant hear and know when GOD is speaking.
  • Gilbert Barima Osei Boadu on Ezekiel 22:30 - 9 years ago
    God is looking for a man who would avail his herself.No matters the person low level of education,background,weaknesses.What matter is the person availability.So let 's avail ourselves,so that we could b use by him.
