When an attacking army breached a wall around a city in Ezekiel’s day, the most dangerous assignment was to repair the gapping hole as quickly as possible. Those brave soldiers could easily end up both restoring the wall & battling the enemy at the same time. When we use the term “standing in the gap” for someone, it’s more of interceding on their behalf in prayer…of standing in the breach of illness, suffering, or pain and thus making their “wall” whole again. In Psalm 16:23, it tells us that Moses stood in the gap on behalf of Israel. But ultimately, there is only One Mediator, One Intercessor that stands in the great chasm between God and humanity…and His Name is Jesus Christ. (I Timothy 2:5)
