Ezekiel makes several calls back to Israel's history regarding individuals who stood in the gap. These were people who prayed on behalf of Israel to be given mercy especially at times when they didn't deserve it. This is the best place to find ourselves in a day and age that reflects the same attitude that reduced beautiful Jerusalem into little more than a Bloody City.

1. God wants us to understand His promises.

2. God wants us to share His heart, especially towards sinners.

3. God wants more people who act like Him in a world that rejects Him.
