We just celebrated the feast of trumpets [ Ссылка ] and now it is time to celebrate or recognize the day of atonement. The most holy day.
This is more of a solemn day as the high priest – as described in Lev 16, 23 and numbers 29, would go into the holy of holies and present the offering for the people’s sins for one year.
He would be in full garment array, The gold bells on his robe alternating with the pomegranate balls. Pomegranates are a symbol of righteousness. Gold was a symbol of purity.
The high priest would sprinkle blood on the mercy seat as atonement for the sins of the people.
It was to be a day of great sorrow, godly repentance, and confession of sins. It was a time of mourning – self introspection before God..
It is the only day required of fasting set aside in the Bible.
The Jewish people believed the final judgement would come on the Day of Atonement. This is believed by believers to be the time of the tribulation.
Because of this belief many Jewish people perform good deeds during the 10 days of awe – the days between atonement and the feasts of tabernacles.
Yet – we as believers do not need to mourn as one without hope or one still looking for a savior.
We have the savior – our Great high priest. He has already redeemed us for our sins.
We have been forgiven – without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. Yet, Jesus was that blood, he was that sacrifice once and for all.
So you may be asking then – Annette – why should we celebrate this day as the Jews who do not see Jesus as their messiah?
Because this is another moment where God directed the people: foreigners and aliens along with the Jewish people to experience a Sabbath of rest.
Here are the teachings that come from the Day of Atonement – which in Hebrew is yom kippur
When we share these with our children and grandchildren it helps them see again who Jesus is, why he lived and why he died. Plus there is great prophecy in these feasts of our Lord!
Our children need to understand this world we live in is not our final home – Our Lord is coming back – these feasts help us recognize the truth. They are a scarlet thread from the old covenant to the new covenant of who Jesus is and his plan for our life.
Lessons to teach our families
Two goats for sacrifice: one for the service of God – YHWH and the second for the scapegoat. Read this story in Leviticus 16. The goat would be chosen as lots. This is a perfect story to reenact with your family
The high priest had to sprinkle blood on the ark of the covenant for the sins of the people for one year. Remind our families - Hebrews 9:12 read Hebrews 9:11-14 where Jesus does this for us today:
He entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
Review the verses about the vail in the temple being torn at the moment of the crucifixion. Matthew 27:51 This shows us we no longer need a priest to atone our sins for us. We have direct access to God on our own.
Jesus came to give us full forgiveness of sins – John 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
Future day of atonement – this is where it gets electrifying in Zechariah 12:9-11 here is where our Lord will pour out a spirit of grace and supplication. This is the day when God’s chosen will see him as who he is.
