If anyone considers itself a Christian Nation then it should be evident not only in their government but also in their people. God is for the oppressed, the downtrodden, the poor and the foreigner. What don’t we understand? White collar crime is the same, if not worse, than blue collar crime because it is done only to accumulate wealth not out of need.
These prophets were involved in “whitewashing” the sins of the nation’s leaders. As go the leaders so go the followers. The people of the land were average citizens or commoners.
Ezekiel 22:28-31
29 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. 30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. 31 Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord God.
9 “Also you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 23:9
33 ‘And if a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him.
Leviticus 19:33
5 I looked, but there was no one to help, And I wondered That there was no one to uphold; Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me; And My own fury, it sustained Me.
Isaiah 63:5
9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;
Romans 2:9
