Isaiah 56

Jesus echoed the desire of God's house first spoken to Isaiah; "My temple will be a house of prayer for the nations." Judah had begun the human work of exclusion. The temple of Isaiah's day was scarcely a house of prayer for Israel. By Jeremiah's day there was no one to stand in the gap before God on behalf of his people. Has the body of Christ, the temple of God, become a house of prayer for the nations? If not then the day will come that there may be no one to stand in the gap before God on behalf of his people.
