days his holy days or holidays if you will these are the days our creator gave us in his word and each of them prophetically teaches us about what our messiah did and still must do well there are many opinions concerning the holy days we want to do our best to present a general overview we simply want to help you understand these important days in the eyes of yahweh many people say that these days are just for the jewish people however we know that these days were given to all who chose to follow yahweh including gentiles for instance in this teaching we will be discussing yom kippur or more properly known in english as the day of atonement yahweh commands that both the native israelite as well as the stranger that dwells among them is to observe this holy day leviticus 16 and it shall be a statute to you forever that in the seventh month on the tenth day of the month you shall afflict yourselves and shall do no work either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you for on this day shall atonement be made for you to cleanse you you shall be clean before yahweh from all of your sins it is a sabbath of solemn rest to you and you shall afflict yourselves it is a statute forever for more on how there is one law for all please watch our teachings the mixed multitude and grafted in in this teaching we will present some basics on yom kippur and how we observe this holy day yom kippur is a moed or an appointed day but it is not a feast day as covered in the passover teaching in this series there are three feast days according to the torah all feast days are moedim but not all moedem are feast days let's start by looking at what scripture says about this day leviticus 23 now on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement it shall be for you a time of holy convocation and you shall afflict yourselves and present a food offering to yahweh and you shall not do any work on that very day for it is a day of atonement to make atonement for you before yahweh your god for whoever is not afflicted on that very day shall be cut off from his people and whoever does any work on that very day that person i will destroy from among his people you shall not do any work it is a statute forever throughout your generations and all your dwelling places it shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest and you shall afflict yourselves on the ninth day of the month beginning at evening from evening to evening you shall keep your sabbath some quick points we are not to work on yom kippur because it is a day of atonement if we don't rest we are to be destroyed it is a permanent regulation it is to be obeyed no matter where we live it is to be a shabbat of complete rest we are to afflict ourselves it is to be a complete day from sunset to sunset for this day we are to rest and we are to afflict ourselves which we believe to be a reference back to the rest as the centerpiece of obedience on this day as an act of denying ourselves however it is more than just obedience to resting fasting is traditionally associated with afflicting oneself which appears even in scripture and many people choose to fast on yom kippur by tradition but focusing on just fasting is sort of missing the point scripture technically does not even command us to fast on yom kippur the emphasis should be on the spiritual dynamic of humbling ourselves what do we mean by that a little translation of afflict yourselves is deprive your throats the most basic meaning of nafesh is throat which is one of the big reasons the idea of fasting on yom kippur was traditionally derived from this commandment the antonym of afflict ana in hebrew is sabah which means to feed or satisfy it's used in reference to feeding the hungry soul isaiah 58 10 which further establishes the connection between fasting and afflicting oneself there is metaphorical value here but as isaiah 58 teaches us yahweh chose a phase that was not centered on denying ourselves food and reveals that such a fast was not the intended point of the commandment while fasting can be a form of affliction the hebrew word for fast is nowhere to be found in connection to yom kippur in the torah while it is okay to entertain the tradition of fasting on yom kippur and it could be argued to be a good thing as it offers metaphorical value we need to make sure we observe the day as yahweh intended while nephesh has a basic meaning of throat we see in the creation of a man account in genesis that nephesh is defined as dust slash body plus spirit since your whole life and body depends on what comes in and out of your throat the idea is that nephesh could also be used to refer to the whole person just like we see in genesis the whole of who and what we are is nephesh we often see that the authors of scripture use nephesh to refer to themselves for example consider psalm 119 verse 175 let me nephesh live that i may praise you and may your laws sustain me here nephesh is being emphasized as their entire being their life and body our life and body our flesh is often against wanting to humble ourselves into obedience to the law of god romans chapter 8 for the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to god for it does not submit to god's law indeed it cannot thus obedience to god is afflicting our soul our flesh our body we are to deny feeding the desires of the flesh since feeding our flesh is contrary to obeying god while we can deny the flesh literally by not eating that is not the main or perhaps even the intended lesson of yom kippur yom kippur is about the relationship between repentance and atonement denying ourselves food can be a metaphor to denying the flesh but the real lesson and literal application of yom kippur is repentance leading to denying the flesh that is against the law of god romans chapter 8 for if you live according to the flesh you will die but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live to fast on yom kippur is metaphorically putting to death the body which could serve as a reminder to the main lesson of not feeding the flesh or making provision for the flesh we do not want to gratify the desires of the flesh but humble ourselves in obedience to god despite the contrary desires of the flesh romans 13 14 but put on lord messiah yeshua and make no provision for the flesh to gratify its desires for more on the subject of yom kippur in fasting please see our teaching is yom kippur a day of fasting it should be noted that yom kippur is a permanent statute contrary to any suggestion that yom kippur no longer applies today leviticus 23 you shall not do any work it is a statute forever throughout your generations and all of your dwelling places it is exactly 10 days from the start of yom teruah as mentioned in the yom torah teaching yom torah appears to begin a call to repentance or teshuva and it appears to culminate in the prophetic meaning of yom kippur according to jewish tradition yom kippur is the holiest day of the year the reason for this is that man's purpose is to turn back to god and follow his instructions thus yom kippur is the appointed day that highlights god's purpose for man in the torah yom kippur is actually written in the plural as yom hakiparim this could be explained in such a way that the plural should be understood as a superlative full atonement or complete progression the plurality functions grammatically to intensify the word the english word atonement translates the hebrew word kipparim the root of this word kaffar is related to purifying or cleansing as dr william lane craig explains in the old testament atonement and his cognates translate words having the hebrew word kpr best known of these expressions is doubtless yom kippur the day of atonement to atone in this sense takes its object sin or impurity and has the sense to purify to cleanse interestingly the english word atonement actually comes from the middle english phrase at one meant designating harmony or reconciliation between humans and god which is a major theme of the new testament the offering to yahweh on this day included an offering made by fire fire sacrifices were often for sins for example numbers chapter 15 verses 27-31 says if an individual sins unintentionally he used to offer a female goat in its first year as a sin offering the priest will make atonement for him and he will be forgiven no matter whether he is a citizen of israel or a foreigner living with them yom kippur is the only time the high priest could enter the holy of holies and call upon the name of yahweh to offer blood sacrifices for the sins of the people this is a life for life principle that is the foundation of the sacrificial system and marked the great day of intercession made by the high priest of israel the great majority of usages in the old testament concern making an atonement by the priestly ritual of sprinkling of the sacrificial blood to remove sin or defilement the lifeblood of the sacrificial animal was required in exchange for the lifeblood of the worshipper the symbolic expression of innocent life given for the guilty life this symbolism is further clarified by the action of the worshiper in placing his hands on the head of the sacrifice and confessing his sins over the animal which was then killed or sent out as a scapegoat on yom kippur the high priest would bring a bull and two goats as a special offering and the bull would be sacrificed to purge the temple for the defilements caused by the misdeeds of the priests and their households the blood of the bull would be sprinkled inside the veil of the holy of holies upon the cover of the ark of the covenant lots would be drawn to select one of the two goats to be a sin offering on behalf of the people the high priest would then lay both hands upon the head of the second goat while confessing all the sins of the people this goat was then driven away into the wilderness carrying on it all their iniquities into a land not inhabited so yom teruah appears to start the alarm or call to repentance and yom kippur provides the means for reconciliation or atonement with him messiah yeshua became our high priest who offered atonement for our sins by offering his own blood and the holy of holies made without hands it is significant that even rabbinic judaism acknowledges the importance of the life for life principle as documented in the talmud there is no atonement without blood as followers of messiah we know that yeshua offered up his body to be the perfect sacrifice for sins by his shed blood we are given complete atonement before yahweh second corinthians chapter 5 for our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin so that in him we might become the righteousness of god the levitical system of animal sacrifice including the elaborate yom kippur ritual was meant to foreshadow the sacrifice of yeshua as the means of our reconciliation with our lord this is actually a point of focus in the book of hebrews hebrews chapter 9. thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these for christ has entered not into holy places made with hands which are copies of the true things but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of god on our behalf nor was it to offer himself repeatedly as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world but as it is he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself and just as it is appointed for man to die once and after that comes judgment so christ having been offered once to bear the sins of many will appear a second time not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him is about how yeshua became our high priest and he fulfills yom kippur in the heavenlies on our behalf according to jewish rabbis on the sixth day of the third month seven weeks after the exodus moses first ascended sinai to receive the torah just 40 days later on the 17th of the fourth month the tablets were broken moses then interceded for israel for another 40 days until he was called back up to sinai on the first day of the sixth month and received the revelation of the name yahweh keep in mind that first fruits in shavuot do not always fall on the exact same days this is how it simply may have occurred for moses that particular year according to jewish speculation for more on this please see our teaching how to calculate first fruits after this he was given the second tablets and returned to the camp on the tenth day of the seventh month which was called yom kippur this explains why orthodox jews begin this season of teshuva beginning the first day of the sixth month and continuing through the tenth day of the seventh month for the forty days that moses was upon the mountain receiving the second set of tablets here we also find the first mention of the book of life moses was asked to be stricken from the book you have written if god would not make atonement for his people the willingness of moses to be stricken from the book on the people's behalf is a powerful image of the mediating role of yeshua our messiah the day of judgment the whole future prophetic lesson of the day of atonement is twofold first judgment is coming to israel as peter wrote first peter chapter 4 for it is time for judgment to begin at the household of god and if it begins with us what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of god and if the righteous is scarcely saved what will become of the ungodly and the sinner therefore let those who suffer according to god's will entrust their souls to a faithful creator while doing good this great day of judgment will begin shortly after the second coming of the messiah revelation 14. then i looked and behold a white cloud and seated on that cloud one like a son of man with a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand and another angel came out of the temple calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud put in your sickle and reap for the hour to reap has come for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe so he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth and the earth was reaped all israel will be judged according to their works ecclesiastes chapter 12 for god will bring every deed into judgment with every secret thing whether good or evil but in that coming judgment there is forgiveness and mercy and grace through yeshua the messiah our lord and savior who gave his life as ransom for us romans chapter 5 therefore since we have been justified by faith we have peace with god through our lord messiah yeshua through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and we rejoice in hope of the glory of god not only that but we rejoice in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character and character produces hope and hope does not put us to shame because god's love has been poured into our hearts through the holy spirit who has been given to us for while we were still weak at the right time christ died for the ungodly for one will scarcely die for a righteous person though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die but god shows his love for us and that while we were still sinners christ died for us since therefore we have now been justified by his blood much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of god for if while we were enemies we were reconciled to god by the death of his son much more now that we are reconciled shall we be saved by his life more than that we also rejoice in god through our lord messiah yeshua through whom we have now received reconciliation what about you where do you stand yom kippur represents forgiveness and pardon for the people of god and wrath and eternal judgment for those who reject god's forgiveness do you stand with the righteous of god's people or with the wicked are your sins covered by the blood of yeshua the messiah and redeemer or are you still covered with the scars and sins of rebellion and wickedness have you had your own personal yom kippur yet have you made peace with yahweh do you believe upon messiah yeshua and follow him as a living word of god if not no time is better than now we hope that this teaching has blessed you and remember
