Isaiah chapter 1 A message for rebellious Judah

Visions that Isiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah, and Jerusalem. He saw these visions when Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah. Basically it seems like God is angry with his people because the people of Judah have rebelled against him. Isaiah 1:3 " Even an ox, knows its owner, and a donkey recognizes its masters care- but Israel doesn't know its master. My people dont recognize my care for them." He describes these people as: evil, loaded down with guilt, corrupt children who have rejected he Lord. He asks Why do you continue to invite punishment? Must you rebel forever? Your heart is sick, you are battered from head to toe, covered with bruises, welts, and infected wounds, without any bandages or ointments. Your country lies in ruins, and your town is burned. Forefingers plunder your fields before your eyes, and destroy everything they see. Beautiful Jerusalem stands abandoned like a watchmen's shelter in a vineyard, like a lean to in a cucumber field after the harvest( I wonder what that even is), like a helpless city under siege. Isaiah 1:11 What makes you think I want all your sacrifices?" I am sick of your burned offerings of rams and the fat of fattened cattle. I get no pleasure from the bulls of lambs and goats. When you come to worship me, Who asked you to parade through my courts with all your ceremony? Its almost as if he is saying that the attempts as holiness are not even coming close. The fasting, the sacrifices, the gifts and the meetings, prayers, and celebrations of the new moon mean nothing. He says Isaiah 1:16 Wash yourselves and be clean! Stop sinning, give up your evil ways, learn to do goo, seek justice, help the oppressed, and defend the cause of the Orphans, fight for the rights of widows. Then he gives hope, one of the things I noticed in Isaiah is that he says so much to show how much we need God, and how even with our best intentions we fall short with sacrificing, fasting, and whatever we think we are doing to please God. Then he gives us hope. He says in Isaiah 1:18 Come now, lets settle this," Says the Lord "Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them white as snow. Though they are red as crimson. I will make them white as wool. 19. If only you will obey me, you will have plenty to eat. But if you turn away and refuse to listen, you will be devoured by the sword of your enemies. I, the Lord, have spoken!" I just love how God always turns it around and lets us know that if we obey, and turn from our wicked ways he will welcome us with open arms. Unfaithful Jerusalem
