ACAD – Rejected: Isaiah 53
Prophesy of Jesus’s rejection and execution by the people. Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? "He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces He was despised, and we held Him of no account. Surely He has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted."

ACAD – Rejection: Ezekiel 5
Jerusalem's disobedience in the sight of surrounding nations that had always rejected God's statutes receives a punitive sentence. "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are all around you, and have not walked in my statutes or obeyed my rules, and have not even acted according to the rules of the nations that are all around you, therefore... Behold, I, even I, am against you. And I will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations."

ACAD – Rejected: Jeremiah 6
Jerusalem rejects God's law, He promises destruction to the city. "I have made you a tester and a refiner among my people so that you may know and test their ways. They are all stubbornly rebellious, going about with slanders; they are bronze and iron, all of them act corruptly. The bellows blow fiercely, the lead is consumed by the fire; in vain the refining goes on, for the wicked are not removed. They are called “rejected silver,” for the Lord has rejected them."

ACAD – Rejected: Psalm 89
Cast down and rejected but not removed from God's steadfast love and faithfulness - God's promise to David's line. "He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation!’ I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. Forever I will keep my steadfast love for him, and my covenant with him will stand firm. I will establish his line forever, and his throne as long as the heavens endure."
