"They forgat God their Savior, which had done great things in Egypt; Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible (awesome) things by the Red Sea. Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them" (Psalm 106:23).
Although God freed Israel from bondage and did many miracles before them, they rebelled against Him. God would have brought judgment by allowing the enemies of Israel to destroy them had not Moses stood in the breach through intercessory prayer.
A breach speaks of where a fortified wall, designed to keep the enemy out, has been compromised. A breach is a gap that allows the enemy to penetrate and get inside the fort to bring ruin and destruction. Our nation has turned away from God and are churches have been weakened by the onslaughts of the enemy. Who will stand in the gap? Who will pray?
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Psalms 1:1-3
