According to statistics, the country of Swaziland will become extinct by the year 2050, due to the rapidly growing number of people with AIDS. But, what if this country is like the city of Jersualem talked about in Ezekiel?

I have been spending my quiet time recently in this wonderful book of Ezekiel. I was reading in Chapter 22 about the Lord's promise of judgment, and thus destruction, of the city of Jerusalem... but, in the process of reading, one verse really caught my eye.
vs. 30- "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."
The Lord states that he looked for one person that would stand in the gap of what is righteous and what is evil, but he could not find one...not even one. Had he found this person, Jerusalem would have been spared. This got me thinking.

What if Swaziland is like Jerusalem? What if the Lord is looking for people to stand in the gap for this country? What would happen if we stood, pleading on behalf of these people, who are dying off from AIDS?  Could it be, that God calls each one of us, to stand on behalf of someone...whether, it be a country, a family member, or friend?

This is something that becoming increasingly more urgent to me. Let's join together in 'standing in the gap.'
