A Smoke In Gods Face

Isa 65:1 ASV - I am inquired of by them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
Isa 65:2 ASV - I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
Isa 65:3 ASV - a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks;
Isa 65:4 ASV - that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
Isa 65:5 ASV - that say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

Mat 21:42 ASV - Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?  To lay a foundation today in the construction of something,  there has to be a starting point a place of reference , therefore it will be put into plans or blueprints and designs saying to where all things that will built upon this foundation as to exact level and plumb .
Everything inside and out will be plumb,  level and absolutely straight .   Jesus is that foundation
the house built on solid rock  .    To count the cost Jesus speaks of    Luk 14:28 ASV - For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it?   There is no way to turn back once you start and he is saying here it is a matter of heaven and hell .  He is saying before you even start there is only one way he is the way the truth and the life .  A man when he is plowing the good ground does not turn to look back to see what he is leaving behind.  Or he will plow a crooked row .

Mat 7:24 ASV - Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock:
Mat 7:25 ASV - and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.
Mat 7:26 ASV - And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:
Mat 7:27 ASV - and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.

Mat 21:43 ASV - Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

 Luk 8:15 ASV - And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Luk 8:16 ASV - And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.
Luk 8:17 ASV - For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor anything secret, that shall not be known and come to light.
Luk 8:18 ASV - Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath. 

Mat 21:44 ASV - And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to [another] people who will produce the fruit of it. 44 And he who falls on this Stone will be broken to pieces; but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”  I believe this is speaking of all people Jew and the Gentile .

Isaiah 65:1-5 AMP
“I let Myself be sought by those who did not ask for Me;
I let Myself be found by those who did not seek Me.
I said, ‘Here am I, here am I,’
To the nation [Israel] which did not call on My Name.
“I have spread out My hands all the day long to a rebellious and stubborn people,
Who walk in the way that is not good, [following] after their own thoughts and intentions, The people who continually provoke Me to My face,
Sacrificing [to idols] in gardens and making offerings with incense on bricks [instead of at the designated altar]; Who sit among the graves [trying to conjure up evil spirits] and spend the night in the secret places [where spirits are thought to dwell];
Who eat swine’s flesh,
And their pots hold the broth of unclean meat;
Who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me,
For I am too holy for you [and you might defile me]!’
These [people] are smoke in My nostrils,         Like setting around a camp fire no matter where you go the smoke is in your face , unrepentant hearts are smoke in Gods face
A fire that burns all the day.
The old testament is a type and a shadow of the true , the scripture above is speaking of all mankind .  Isa 29:13 ASV - And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh unto me, and with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught them;  Can this be true of most church's in the world today.  Being overwhelmed with a gospel that does not require holiness or sanctification .  Men preaching another gospel , men that even in their ignorance  
become an enemy of the cross . The cross being the instrument of finality to our carnal man our old man the flesh . Who has God sent this word to and who is expected to embrace it with all their being the seed of the gospel falling into our hearts and bearing fruit unto righteousness .   We will all stand before the throne of Christ to answer for our life's choices , the fear of God is a clean fear and it will endure for ever.  And to you that are reading this God is calling you.
Many are called but few are chosen  , Being called is a wedding invitation to the marriage feast of the Lamb . Chosen is being the Elect, Elected, Election: lit. signifies "picked out, chosen

Mat 16:3 ASV - And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot discern the signs of the times.
Mat 16:4 ASV - An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
The sign of Jonah death, burial and resurrection ,   Jonah preached to the men of Nineveh the word of repentance and the fear of God . Jesus said    Luk 11:32 ASV - The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.   Is the church listening is the church humbling themselves before God,  

2Co 5:10 ASV - For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2Co 5:11 ASV - Knowing therefore the fear  (terror) of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.
