Isaiah 1. Did God abolish sacrifices, festivals and feasts?

[Believer.Evermore]

Did God ever reinstate what He commanded be abolished in Isaiah 1: 11-14?

Reading the entire book, we learn how His people had become rebellious and sinful. All of
their sacrifices - burnt offerings, etc., all of their feasts and festivals, even all of
their prayers, had become nothing more than meaningless ritual and empty words.

Isaiah 1: 11-14
11 "The multitude of your sacrifices— what are they to me?" says the LORD. "I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
12 When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations— I cannot bear your evil assemblies.
14 Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.

God did not abolish anything at that point. He was only telling them that their lack of heart was not according to the original intent. If the Law had been abolished, then Jesus would not have been able to fulfill it. And that which has not been fulfilled by Jesus continues to not be abolished and efficacious today. Like the kind of foods we should eat in Leviticus 11. Christianity tends to throw out the baby with the bath water with reference to what God has given in the Old Testament. They agree with Paul that the Old Testament is for our learning. But if that learning is against what they want to do, they interpret what they don't like into oblivion. The Jews continue to be under the Law and faith in God in regards to their salvation. The ones who are in Christ are not under the Law for salvation. Their salvation is in Christ, the one who fulfilled the Law in that regard.
