Isaiah 66:1 Context
1Thus sayth the Lord, The heauen is my throne, and the earth is my footestoole: where is the house that yee builde vnto mee? and where is the place of my rest? 2For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things haue beene, saith the Lord: but to this man wil I looke, euen to him that is poore and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. 3He that killeth an oxe is as if he slue a man: he that sacrificeth a lambe, as if he cut off a dogs necke: he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swines blood: he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idole: yea, they haue chosen their owne wayes, and their soule delighteth in their abominations.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 66:1
66:1 The heaven - The highest heaven, is the place where I shew myself in my majesty. So #Psal 11:4 Psal 103:19 Matt 5:34|. Hence we are taught to pray; our father which art in heaven. And the earth is my footstool - Or a place wherein I set my feet, #Matt 5:35|. The house - Can there be an house built, that will contain me? My rest - Or where is the place wherein I can be said to rest in a proper sense?
