The Day of Atonement

Share this:
The second of the Fall Feasts is called Yom Kippur-The Day of Atonement. We read about this feast in Leviticus 16 & 17 and in Leviticus 23:27.

On this sacred day the High Priest would carry the blood of the bull and goat through the veil and into the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle- the Holy of Holies.

On this sacred day the High Priest would carry the blood of the bull and goat through the veil and into the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle- the Holy of Holies.

He would then pour the blood onto the altar over the Ark of the Covenant and, in doing so, make atonement for the children of Israel (Leviticus 17:11).

The book of Hebrews chapters 9 and 10 tell us that the blood of the bulls and the goats offered up to the LORD in the ancient Temple was a foreshadow of the blood of Yeshua. Through the shed blood and death of Jesus, we are forgiven once and for all!

Praise God!

For us, Yom Kippur is a time of thanking and worshiping Yeshua for His sacrifice and the forgiveness of our sins. We should always keep in our hearts and mind that He dies while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8).

There is also a prophetic meaning of this feast that has yet to be fulfilled – the turning of the Jewish people to their Messiah (Zech. 12:10).

The New Testament foretells of this same event in Romans 11:26, which states that at Messiah’s return “all Israel will be saved.”

Revelation also speaks of this glorious event:

“Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen” (Revelation 1:7).
