38This is what you are to offer regularly on the altar, each day: two lambs that are a year old. 39In the morning offer one lamb, and at twilight offer the other. 40With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives, and a drink offering of a quarter hin of wine. 41And you shall offer the second lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning, as a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
42For the generations to come, this burnt offering shall be made regularly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, where I will meet you to speak with you. 43I will also meet with the Israelites there, and that place will be consecrated by My glory. 44So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests.
How long did these sacrifices continue?
Luke 1:8 Now it came to pass, in his fulfilling the priestly service before God in the order of his division, {Zacharias (the father of John the Baptist) was ministering the morning sacrifice}
How long before the Lord got sick of meaningless sacrifices?
Isaiah 1:13 Stop bringing me your meaningless gifts; the incense of your offerings disgusts me! As for your celebrations of the new moon and the Sabbath and your special days for fasting— they are all sinful and false. I want no more of your pious meetings.
When we go before the Lord without a contrite heart it’s no different than a meaningless sacrifice.
Don’t be guilty of pious meetings!
Blessings, David
