Amos 5:21-23
Excerpted from: Going On to PerfectionHe said not to enter Gilgal. That was another shrine. He said not to pass over to Beersheba; that was another shrine. That is where they held their feasts. With that thought, go through chapter 5, and as you get toward the end of the chapter, verse 21, it has all the earmarks of keeping a festival, of keeping a feast. He says, "I hate, I despise your feast days." He talks about sacrifice, and the giving of offerings in verse 22, and He talks about singing songs in verse 23. He said He does not want to hear any of it. But rather, "turn unto Me and live!"
Their offerings were not acceptable to Him, because the people’s lives did not match the image of God that He had set for them to live up to.
Amos 5:21-23
Excerpted from: Hamas' October 7 AttackThat syncretistic festival also rhymes with what God says in Amos 5. He says, I hate, I despise your feast days, and I do not savor your sacred assemblies. . .. He says, Take away from Me the noise of your songs, for I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments (Amos 5:21-23). A few verses later, God says that even as they were making sacrifices to Him in the wilderness, they also had other gods. And then He says, Therefore I will send you into captivity . . . (Amos 5:25-27). In another chilling rhyme, 40 of the revelers were taken into captivity on their feast day.
