The burnt offering and grain offering were central to Israelite worship, symbolizing atonement and dedication to God (Leviticus 1, 2). However, Ahaz's actions reflect a departure from the prescribed worship in the temple, indicating a shift towards pagan practices. This act of offering on a foreign altar signifies a compromise in faith and a move towards syncretism, which was condemned by the prophets (<a href="/isaiah/7-10.htm">Isaiah 7:10-13</a>).<p><b>poured out his drink offering</b><br>The drink offering, typically wine, was poured out as a libation accompanying other sacrifices (<a href="/numbers/15-5.htm">Numbers 15:5-10</a>). It symbolized the outpouring of one's life in service to God. Ahaz's use of this offering on a non-sanctioned altar further illustrates his deviation from the covenantal worship established by God. This act can be seen as a metaphor for Ahaz's life being poured out in service to foreign gods, contrasting with the Apostle Paul's description of his life as a drink offering in service to Christ (<a href="/philippians/2-17.htm">Philippians 2:17</a>).<p><b>and splattered the blood of his peace offerings on the altar</b><br>The peace offering, or fellowship offering, was meant to symbolize reconciliation and communion with God (Leviticus 3). By splattering the blood on an altar modeled after a pagan design, Ahaz was not only violating the sanctity of the temple worship but also misrepresenting the peace and fellowship that should exist between God and His people. This act of defilement is reminiscent of the warnings given in <a href="/deuteronomy/12-13.htm">Deuteronomy 12:13-14</a>, where God commands that sacrifices be made only at the place He chooses. Ahaz's actions foreshadow the eventual downfall of Judah due to idolatry and unfaithfulness, as prophesied by Jeremiah (<a href="/jeremiah/7-30.htm">Jeremiah 7:30-34</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/ahaz.htm">Ahaz</a></b><br>The king of Judah who is central to this passage.
