13)But go ye and learn what that
meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice; For I am not come to
call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance
|
GO YE AND LEARN
JESUS says, I am more pleased with
acts of compassion and kindness
than with a mere external
compliance with duties of religion,
every believer should be more
concerned with showing mercy and
compassion towards others who
are in need of the glorious gospel
for salvation of the soul and
generous giving to the poor and
needy to eradicate extreme poverty
in the world
I WANT YOU TO SHOW MERCY NOT
SACRIFICE
Those who are sure that they are
good enough can’t be saved,
because the first step in following
JESUS is acknowledge that we are
sinner and cant do GOD’S will
without JESUS who have the all
answers , that lead to salvation of
our soul , which specifically come
from showing of mercy to both
sinners and those sinner who are in
desperate need of the gospel to be
saved and those ravaged with
poverty of physical needs not
offering sacrifice which is all ritual
and outward religion
GO AND LEARN WHAT THIS
SCRIPTURE MEANS:
The Chief part of the ceremonial
law, which ritual based of rules,
regulation, man’s tradition and
observance of rituals take center
stage, while” MERCY” Expression of
compassion for the fallen, which
seek to lift them up is abandoned .
I desire mercy for those in distress
and not animal sacrifice, for I did
not come to call to repentance the
self- proclaimed righteous, who see
no need to change but sinners,
those who recognized their sin and
actively seek forgiveness.
FOR I HAVE NOT COME TO CALL
THE RIGHEOUSE
They were a generation that laid all
religion upon rituals, sacrifice, and
tradition, that justified themselves,
who are enlarged in their opinion
of their righteousness and thought
they needed no repentance as the
religionist/ Pharisees account
themselves, and need not our savior
JESUS CHRIST who is the spiritual
physician
No human being are by nature
righteous, while the religionist
pretend to be righteous, a self
righteous person is not design to
repentance and do not require the
calling of JESUS CHRIST
SINNERS TO REPENTANCE
I desire acts of mercy on your part
you religionist, rather than
sacrifices, if your religion makes you
exalted and self-righteous and you
consider yourself to be defiled by
associating with sinners, JESUS
declared that he prefers mercy to
those external duties
JESUS come to call sinners to
repentance and then the receiving
of remission of sins through JESUS
CHRIST for Eternal life

sacrifice; and the knowledge of
GOD more than burnt offerings

FOR I DESIRE MERCY :
Compassion and kindness toward
men, this one is the principal duty of
godly humanity, pleasing to me, in
this I delight
And he likewise has a very great
regard to mercy as exercised by
men, as this is one of the weightier
matter of the law, MATHEW 23:23
which is love to our neighbors and
especially designs acts of kindness
to person who are ravaged by world
poverty and in need, this are
sacrifice to GOD and is well pleasing
to him.
For I delight in godliness , dutiful
love, kindness; love and the
knowledge of GOD and man than
the temple /church rituals of
ceremonial, rules, regulation and
man’s doctrine.
When the LORD assess the People,
he saw that their love for him was
lukewarm and indifferent, which
broke the heart of GOD, and stress
his desire for the people not to be
artificial in their worship and
service but rather be merciful and
truly know him, according to the
expression JOEL 2:13- Rend your
heart and not your garments.
NOT SACRIFIFE
That is related to JOHN 6:27-Labour
not for the meat which perisheth,
but for that which endureth to
everlasting life, which clearly relate
to love GOD and for man to man
and show compassion to the poor
and needy, which is more
acknowledge of GOD more than
burn offering and sacrifice.
THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD MORE
THAN BURNT OFFERING
Heathy affectionate of the
knowledge of GOD, love of his
holiness, trust in his promises,
submission to his will, fear of his
goodness, knowledge of GOD’S
word, obedience to his
commandments,

11)To what purpose is the
multitude of your sacrifice unto
me? Saith 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 goats
12)When ye 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 meetings
14)Your new moons and your
appointed feasts my soul hateth;
they are a trouble unto me; I am
weary to bear them
15)And when ye spread forth
your hands, I will hide mine eyes
from you; yea, when ye 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 mine eyes; cease to
do evil

judgment, relieve the oppressed,
judge the fatherless, plead for the
widow

rejected it

WHAT PURPOSE COME THER TO
ME INCENSE FROM SHEBA
An interrogation of expostulation
and contempt, with their hypocrisy,
being offered with a wicked mind,
and without faith in JESUS CHRIST,
and in order to compensate for the
quilt crime unrepented, who
pleases themselves with their
outward sacrifice and thought GOD
would be please with them; but he
tell them there are of no purpose
Their ritual of out ward ceremony
, which sought to cover their inward
corruption by external show of
religion, which is of no value are
not acceptable to GOD

JEREMIAH 7:21
|
21)Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
put your burnt offerings unto your
sacrifices, and eat flesh
22)For I spake not unto your
father, nor commanded them in
the day that I brought them out of
the land of Egypt, concerning
burnt offerings or sacrifice
23)But this thing commanded I
them, saying, obey my voice, and I
will be your GOD, and ye shall be
my people; and walk ye in all the
ways that I have commanded you,
that it may well unto you
|
PUT YOUR BURNT OFFERINGS
UNTO YOUR SACRIFICE AND EAT
FLESH
The word express outrage at the
sacrifice are all vain, put them to
your own of what kind whatsoever,
eat them, and do what you will with
them, I will have non of them take
all and fill your bellies, for you
sacrifice not to me, but yourselves
As far as they neglect the obligatory
requirement of obedience and
moral purity , which make them to
separated from GOD, as GOD has no
pleasure in their sacrifice

ISAIAH 66:3-4

3)He that killeth an ox is as if he
slew a man; he that sacrificeth a
lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck;
he that offered swine’s blood; he
that burneth incense, as if he
blessed an idol, yea, they have
chosen their own ways, and their
soul delighteth in their
abominations
4)I also will choose their
delusions, and will bring their
fears upon them; because when I
called, none did answer ; when I
spake, they did not hear; but they
did evil before mine eyes, and
chose hat in which I delighted not
|
HE THAT KILLED AN OX AS IF HE
SLEW A MAN
He who sacrifice an ox is as if, he
slew a man, GOD’S detestation of a
ceremonial performance from men
of wicked hearts and lives, that the
most were covered by hypocrite,
who are guilty of most extreme acts
of wickedness at the same time
affected great strictness in the
performance of all the external
duties of religion.
GOD shows that the external ritual
worship, offered to him by
hypocrites and wicked persons is
void of faith and righteousness
I ALSO WILL CHOOSE THEIR
DELUSION
They had made their choice, they
chose not the ways of GOD but
their own ways
I will punish them in their own
way, and set those over them by
their traditions instead of my word,
I will suffer false teacher wolves in
sheep’s clothing, to deceive them.
AND WILL BRING THEIR FEAR UPON
THEM
And will bring the things they
feared, such as famine, sword and
pestilence

I HATE AND REJECT YOUR FEAST
AND ASSEMBLY
Impure and unholy are the feast
and GOD hated them, they are
abomination to him, there is no
goodness that i should value them,
they are evil in them, which is deep
hypocrisy, for which I hate
I WILL NOT SMELL IN YOUR
ASSEMBLY -A smell of rest delight, I
will not accept and be please with
YOUR SOLEMN ASSEMBLY
The very weighty reason,
celebrated with rich sacrifice, in
mighty crowds in the Temple/
church, and excellent order are all
yours, when they are offered
without the heart of mercy ,
compassion based on righteousness
, it is not mine, not accepted of
them, dislike and I hate them
No matter how majestic or
beautiful it seemed to be, the LORD
reject their praise of him, both the
vocal and instrumental music were
not acceptable.
TAKE AWAY FROM ME THE NIOSE
OF THEY SONG
They melody church music of thy
viols(musical equipment) are
hypocrisy, idolatry and injustice
spoil all your service and make GOD
weary of you and them.
Doubtless they sounded
harmoniously in their own ears; but
was for itself and ended in itself
The worship and praise songs
coming from carnal and wicked
person, was a burden and a weight
to GOD, JESUS as CHRIST cleansed
the Temple, to dispel all the
hypocritical worship
JUDGMENT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
The LORD told the people how to
make their worship acceptable to
him, they had to practice justice and
righteousness, justice should roll
like a river throughout their lives,
and righteousness should be like
never ending stream if believers
practice.

ISAIAH 29:13
|
13)Wherefore the LORD said,
forasmuch as this people draw
near me with their mouth, and
with their lips do honor me, but
have removed their heart far from
me, and their fear towards me is
taught by the precept of men
|
FORASMUCH AS THIS PEOPLE
DRAW NEAR WITH THEIR MOUTH
The people claimed to be involved
in the act of worship; with their
mouth speaking to me in payers
and praise and professing to serve
me; and their lips do honor me, with
outward devotion and bodily
worship; but do not render me that
love, mercy, compassion and
gratitude, that regards obedience,
which I require
AND THEIR FEAR TOWARDS ME IS
TAUGHT BY PRECET OF MEN
By mere human wisdom, and not
by my word and spirit, they worship
and serve me, not in such manner
as I have proscribed, but according
to men’s inventions, preferring the
device and tradition of false
prophets, their religion is merely of
human not of divine origin.
