God's "third team" is a group of men whose job it is to represent Him and His kingdom on earth. It is called the kingdom of God. But in the mist of confusion and chaos in the world around us, He has sent this group here who's job it is to represent Him and to not take sides. Kingdom men represent in time God's perspective from eternity. The absence of kingdom men is bringing destruction, pain, and anguish throughout our land.

When you look at the stats in becomes quite evident; example - 70% of all prisoners grew up fatherless - 80% of all rapists grow up without a father - 71% of all high school dropout's did not have a father in the home or had an abusive father in the home - 63% of all teen suicides are teenagers who did not have a father - 40% of all children in America are born to single parents - and 72% of African-America children are born to single parents. When there is no man in the vicinity you can expect there to be chaos and confusion in the environment. Chaos comes when God is not allowed to be God in the life of a man.

5 “Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. 6 He will [e]restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a [f]curse.” Malachi 4:5-6 NASB

The fact that God refers to Himself as Father is a pretty strong support of what this article is saying.
