Will you be an "Ish Habinayim" and a gift to others? "Ish Habinayim" is an ancient Hebrew term for one who stands in the gap for others. The term was manifested by one soldier representing an army in one-on-one combat with another combatant representing an enemy army. David, the shepherd boy, was an "Ish Habinayim" while representing the Israelite army against the enemy champion, Goliath, in a one-on-one combat. As God's gift to mankind, Jesus is an "Ish Habinayim" standing in the gap between God and man's sin. Just as our Savior is a gift and an "Ish Habinayim" to each of us, God challenges us to be the same to others. This ancient Hebrew principle is one of the many themes heroically appearing in The Gifts as the three Magi, or Wisemen, make their perilous journey to find the Christ Child and to give him their important, valuable gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. The Gifts is a dramatic, edge of your seat account of Roman Bethlehem, of the Christ child's birth, of the three Magis' collection and transportation of their significant gifts, and of the Magi's perilous journey to Bethlehem and beyond. Each gift has a symbolic and a specific purpose for the Christ child and which has the same symbolic meaning for us in Provision, Purpose, and Preservation. From the Roman soldier's sharp "Gladius" sword pressed against the chin of the pregnant Mary at a Roman census post in Bethlehem along a road lined with bloody crucifixions to the attempted assassination of the infant, Jesus, by King Herod's double agent, the intense drama and rich historical detail in The Gifts is riveting and informative. "Ish Habinayim" appears throughout The Gifts: from Joseph who courageously stands in the gap with Mary who is pregnant with "another's" child; to a heroic Roman Legionnaire who saves an important Hebrew woman from Roman death; and to the princely "Magi Legion" who stand in the gap for the Christ child at great peril and expense.
