“When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample My courts?” Isaiah 1:12
To this day, the Jewish people come before God, not as He requires, but in a way that defiles what service to Him is supposed to be. By rejecting Jesus Christ, they have made their service to God meaningless. They are trampling on the courts of the temple of God, the body as the home of the Holy Spirit, by rejecting Jesus who gives the Holy Spirit.
The Lord asks today’s global government and its global culture, “...who has required this from your hand, to trample My courts?” They are trampling on His courts by serving the beast that gives them what to speak, do, think, and feel. They come before the beast as if they are appearing before God. That beast requires people to serve the image of the beast that is given breath/life to speak by speaking and living through people everywhere. That is the beast that sets in the temple of God, our body, as if it is God, and is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 The “he” in that verse is the “man of sin”.

“Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies— I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting. Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.” Isaiah 1:13-14
The Spirit of God is speaking those words to the fallen churches, which are also described in Revelations 4.
- Futile Sacrifices: Futile sacrifices are basically people offering themselves at the altar of the beast instead of offering themselves at the altar of God through Jesus Christ. The beast is able to use people to govern through their feelings, thoughts, words, and behaviors. God says not to bring those sacrifices to Him. That’s because in order to serve the beast, a person is required to deny God, reject Jesus Christ, and oppose the presence of the Holy Spirit.
- Incense: Incense represents prayer and communication with God through Jesus Christ. The incense of today’s fallen churches is prayer and communication to the beast that has power over physiology to be able to manipulate circumstances, feelings, thoughts, what people say and do. Jesus said, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ” Luke 19:46 [Jeremiah 7:11 and Isaiah 56:7]
- New Moons, Sabbaths, and calling of assemblies: These things are seasonal services such as Christmas, Easter, etc., weekly Sunday services, and the calling of meetings, banquets, etc. in between other services. In the fallen churches, these gatherings are an iniquity upon the sacredness of the body of Christ. The Lord hates their gathering together. That’s because they are gathering in worship to the beast as they have abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are a trouble to the Lord because they guide people away from the Gospel message, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 Our Lord is weary of putting up with them, that is why global warming is in the world, which is the Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9.
“When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.” Isaiah 1:15
Although today’s atheistic global culture believes their prayers are being answered, it’s not answers coming from the Living God. The Lord is not looking at their prayers, even though they make many prayers. He will not hear them because their hands are filled with hostile behaviors and words against Him, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and all of Christianity.
Although we followers of Jesus Christ may think the days of the Living God answering prayer is over, the truth is He is answering our prayers. He sent global warming as an answer to our prayers. He hears the prayers within our spirit, from the groaning of our soul, too deep for human ears to hear or understand. In fact, our prayers are being stored up in bowls in Heaven, as described in Revelations 5:8, and they bring an answer in the form of His judgment on the earth. Also, Daniel felt that his prayers were not being answered, but he was explained exactly why they weren’t, which applies to us today, as described in Daniel 9:20-27.
“…the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
