Before this verse was Gods reaction towards Israel's leaders,who lack an iota of truth in whatever they did or said. Consequently, God ws looking for that man,that leader like Moses, who will rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land.
Right. Jesus was the man, and he lives forever through his disciples. As before, God is looking for a man with the Spirit of Jesus to stand in the gap and interceede for the likes of the same conditions in his or her proximity.

This chapter, most specifically from verse 23 to end is the reason that Jesus recieves and takes upon himself the Title SON OF MAN. We must lift up the son of man so all know Jesus is he.( John-8-).
GOD looked for a man among them. Likely through HIS eyes into eternity and found none. Jesus the SON of God and Man was the only one able to stand in the gap before GOD. This a profound verse.
