11. For —Since ye Jewish priests and people "despise My name" ( :- ), I shall find others who will magnify it ( :- ). Do not think I shall have no worshippers because I have not you; for from the east to the west My name shall be great among the Gentiles ( Isaiah 66:19 ; Isaiah 66:20 ), those very peoples whom ye look down upon as abominable. pure offering —not "the blind, the lame, and the sick," such as ye offer ( Isaiah 66:20- : ). "In every place," implies the catholicity of the Christian Church ( John 4:21 ; John 4:23 ; 1 Timothy 2:8 ). The "incense" is figurative of prayers ( Psalms 141:2 ; Revelation 8:3 ). "Sacrifice" is used metaphorically ( Psalms 51:17 ; Hebrews 13:10 ; Hebrews 13:15 ; Hebrews 13:16 ; 1 Peter 2:5 ; 1 Peter 2:12 ). In this sense the reference to the Lord's Supper, maintained by many of the fathers, may be admitted; it, like prayer, is a spiritual offering, accepted through the literal offering of the "Lamb without blemish," once for all slain. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
