WHERE ARE THE GAP STANDERS? Part 2
Do you remember when Joshua was fighting the Amalekites? In Exodus 17:8-16 we read how that if Moses, Aaron, and Hur had not stood on the top of the hill, raising up Moses’ hands as they overlooked the battle, the Amalekites would have defeated the Israelites.Exodus 17:11-13: “And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur STAYED UP HIS HANDS, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.”
It’s as simple as that. When Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hands, Amalek prevailed.
Amalek is a type of “the swamp” of fleshly, godless people who God will have war with from generation to generation. The biggest swamp will be the New World Order.
Joshua is a type of Jesus Christ, fighting with the armies of Israel. In a sense, Joshua is the political leader who is also a type of our president who is leading America’s battle against the swamp creatures of this generation.
Aaron and Hur are a type of those who stand in the gap holding up Moses’ hands. Moses represents the praying church who intercede and stand in the gap for the victory over the swamp.
Much of the present-day church does not want to rock the boat in case they might offend someone’s sensibilities. However, there are those who are standing in the gap with raised-up hands ,calling on the Lord for victory.
Although there may have been thousands fighting it out in the valley with Amalek, the swamp creatures, we remember there were only three on the hill—Moses, Aaron, and Hur. It was these three who made all the difference between winning or losing.
Are you one of the gap standers? Are you holding up the hands of President Trump in prayer? Are you interceding for those who are seeking to expose the fraud?
Be encouraged.
