EXAMPLE: Due to the rebellion against the Word of The Most High, the offerings of worship, praises,…
…and even solemn assemblies of ancient Israelis… …ADONAI Elohim, El Elyon refused to hear them…
…and subsequently bless them out of their woes,…
…but allowed the devastations to continue upon them.
Amos 5
:20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
:21 I hate, I despise your feast days, will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
:22 Though you offer ME burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
:23 Take you away from ME the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
524 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Isaiah 1:
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? says the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When you come to appear before ME, who hath required this at your hand, to tread MY courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts MY soul hates: they are a trouble to ME; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before MY eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
