Day of Atonements (Yom Kippurim) – A Day of Reckoning – Lev 23:26-
Six months after experiencing freedom from our bondage during the spring appointments, we "humble our souls" by fasting and we take an entire day to pour out prayers of confession and contrition. It is a day of cleansing and recommitment, a preparation for the next and final appointment on God’s calendar.
The Day of Atonement(s) teaches us the depth of the redemptive work accomplished for us in Yeshua’s (Jesus') death at Passover.
It teaches us that the atonement, grace and sufficiency of His sacrifice are ongoing.
Yom Kippurim also leads to an understanding of Messiah’s role as our High Priest in the REAL tabernacle of God in heaven.
Yom Kippurim is a day of reckoning. It is an annual reminder of the day when our
High Priest entered the Holy of Holies to make atonement for our sins at great cost
with His Blood. This day also brings to mind John’s vision of the Book of Life being
opened and all humanity giving account before our Maker. In the end, every person
will be resurrected and judged, some will enter God's eternal rest, but others who
are without Christ, eternal torment.
Revelation 20:12, “And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.”
The Day of Atonement(s) teaches us the depth of the redemptive work accomplished
