“The Day of Atonement” Leviticus 23:1-2, 26-32

TRANSCRIPT

Date: September 18, 2022 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

“The Day of Atonement” starts at sunset Tuesday, October 4, and ends at sunset Wednesday, October 5, which also ends the “Ten Days of Awe,” which began at sunset Sunday, September 25, with the celebration of “Rosh HaShanah” the Jewish New year. “Yom Kippur” is still respected as the holiest day of the year in Judaism. While the death of Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled the Day of Atonement for the Gentiles, not so for the Jews – there is a “Yom Kippur” yet to come for Abraham’s seed, and it will occur at the end of the Great Tribulation. We will explain this further in our next sermon, “The Day of Atonement,” based on our study of Leviticus 23.

This year, the “Day of Atonement” starts at sunset, October 4, and ends at sunset, October 5, which also ends the “Ten Days of Awe” that begins at sunset, September 25, with the celebration of “Rosh HaShanah,” the Jewish New Year.

The Day of Atonement is the sixth of the seven days God instructed His people to set aside each year as “holy unto Him.”

The purpose of the Tabernacle was to give the Israelites a place of worship while they were in the wilderness. It was in this Holy Place and in the Holy of Holies that Aaron would go once each year to make atonement for the sins of the people. The tabernacle and temple served as the place where the Jews could find covering for their sins.

In Leviticus16:1-34, God instituted the Day of Atonement.

In Isaiah 53, the prophet revealed how the Messiah would fulfill the requirements of the atonement.

The death of Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled the Day of Atonement for the Gentiles but not for the Jews. There is a Yom Kippur to come for the seed of Abraham, which will occur at the end of the Tribulation.
