Heaven Is God's Throne

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:1 - Thus says the LORD,
“Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool.
Where then is a house you could build for Me?
And where is a place that [fn]I may rest?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:2 - “For My hand made all these things,

Hypocrisy Rebuked

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:3 - But he who kills an ox is like one who slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb is like the one who breaks a dog’s neck;

He who [fn]burns incense is like the one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:4 - So I will choose their [fn]punishments
And will bring on them what they dread.
Because I called, but no one answered;

And they did evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:5 - Hear the word of the LORD, you who tremble at His word:

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:8 - “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Can a land be [fn]born in one day?
Can a nation be brought forth all at once?
As soon as Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:9 - “Shall I bring to the point of birth and not give delivery?” says the LORD.
“Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?” says your God.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:13 - “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you;
And you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:14 - Then you will see this, and your heart will be glad,

And by His sword on all flesh,
And those slain by the LORD will be many.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:20 - “Then they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as a grain offering to the LORD, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.
