“The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery, and they have oppressed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the stranger without justice. 30 I searched for a man among them who would build up a wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. 31 So I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; I have brought their way upon their heads,” declares the Lord God.” Ezekiel 22:27-31
We discuss the forgotten benefits or Interposition by Lesser Magistrates, misinterpreting Romans 13, masking image-bearers of God, and review The Doctrine of Lesser Magistrates. David concludes with a sobering look at ’12 ways to destroy a society.”
