Isaiah 66:1

True Worship and False

1 Thus says the Lord:
a“Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest? 
2 For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,”
Says the Lord.
a“But on this one will I look:
bOn him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word. 
3 “Hea who kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he bbreaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood;
He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations, 
4 So will I choose their delusions,
And bring their fears on them;
aBecause, when I called, no one answered,
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”

John Wesley's Notes
<< Isaiah 65:25   Isaiah 66:2 >>


Isaiah 66:1

The heaven - The highest heaven, is the place where I shew myself in my majesty. So Psalms 11:4, Psalms 103:19; Matthew 5:34. Hence we are taught to pray; our father which art in heaven. And the earth is my footstool - Or a place wherein I set my feet, Matthew 5:35. The house - Can there be an house built, that will contain me? My rest - Or where is the place wherein I can be said to rest in a proper sense?
