Ezekiel 22:17-31
Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem. As men gather silver, copper, iron,lead and tin into a furnace to melt in with a fiery blast, so will I gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the city and melt you.
There is a conspiracy of her princes within her like a roaring lion tearing its prey;
Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holly and the common.
Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain.
Her prophets whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divination.
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.
When God test them by fire, no trace of genuine metal will be found. Every section of society shares the guilt: ruler, priests, prophets and common people alike.
Why?
God looked his people like dross, no one be useful. All of them are sinner, From prince, priest, officials and prophets, are all lost what they should do. All of them shed blood and unjust gain.
Could I stand before the Lord in the gap on behalf of the land in Taiwan?
How?
May my mind and my heart be with the Lord Almighty and could be stand in the gap on behalf of the land.
