The Old System is Replaced
Commentators, particularly Charles Spurgeon, emphasize that this verse signals the complete end of the Old Testament sacrificial system. God's declaration of having no pleasure in these sacrifices, even though He commanded them in the law, was necessary to 'take away the first' system to 'establish the second'—the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice of Christ. The old system of shadows was intentionally replaced by the reality found in Jesus.
