As the apostate king neared the end of his reign, he caused the doors of the temple to be closed. The

sacred services were interrupted. No longer were the candlesticks kept burning before the altar. No longer were offerings made for the sins of the people. No longer did sweet incense ascend on high at the time of the morning and the evening sacrifice.
The idolatrous course of Ahaz, in the face of the earnest appeals of the prophets, could have but one result.
Inspiration declares, The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind? Proverbs 21:27. The God of heaven is of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on iniquity. Habakkuk 1:13.
It is not because He is unwilling to forgive that He turns from the transgressor; it is because the sinner refuses to make use of the abundant provisions of grace, that God is unable to deliver from sin.
Rich and abundant are the promises made to those who are watchful of opportunities to bring joy and blessing into the lives of others.
