Day of Atonement 2024

Friday October 11 2024, sundown Ending nightfall of Saturday October 12, 2024

Last Wednesday October 2 to Friday October 4 2024 was the Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashanah or the Blowing of the Trumpets!
This morning we shall discuss the “Day of Atonement” or known as “Yom Kippur” [ Yom = the day, Kippur = ask for forgiveness].  Other words this is a special Feast in which you and I ask our Heavenly Father for all those sins which we may have over looked throughout the past year.
In recognition of Yahweh’s Words, we are instructed to honor and respect His 7 Holy Feast periods. 
Now I realize that the conditions set forth by Yahweh differs from what He sets forth in the beginning. What caught my interest into these 7 Holy Feasts was the Prophetic Message contained within them.
We find that within these, 4 are in the season of the spring, while the remaining 3 are in the fall or “harvest. 
In studying the Prophecy aspect of Yahweh’s Words, we realize and conclude that these Holy Feasts play an important role in the Prophecy of Yahshua Messiah concerning the past and the present. 
Let’s take a brief view of the first 4 Feasts
The Feast of Passover pointed to Yahshua’s death on Calvary as “the Lamb of Yahweh, who taketh away the sin of the world”, John 1:29
The Feast of Unleavened Bread attested to the fact that Yahshua’s body, unlike all others would not decay in the grave. 
The Feast of Firstfruits proclaimed the certainty of His bodily resurrection. The acceptance by Yahweh of the Firstfruits [sheaf] of the spring barley harvest guaranteed a full harvest to follow. By virtue of the resurrection of Yahshua Messiah, He is the Firstfruit and guarantees that all the Saints within Him will one day rise from the grave.
The Feast of Pentecost, which occurs exactly 50 days after Firstfruits [the resurrection of the Messiah] anticipated the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the origin of the “Ek-kelsia”. We read in the Jewish Talmud, in the tractate of Sotah, foli #48 it reads in part “when Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi died, the Holy Spirit departed from Israel” 
These 4 events in the life of Yahshua Messiah, which the 4 spring feasts depicted, are history. We can look back at these events and they can be examined as historical facts. We can say that the first 4 set the foundation for the remaining 3. As I think on this foundation, I think of the Tabernacle, which is to come, and when this Tabernacle comes, then all of His Elect come to dwell in the eternal
The fall Feasts have not yet occurred! They are yet future and predict with absolute certainty, events that will most assuredly unfold. As the 4 spring Feasts were fulfilled literally and right on schedule in connection with the Messiah’s first coming, the 3 Fall Feasts will likewise be fulfilled literally and right on schedule in connection with His second coming.
What about the future of the Day of Atonement?
Let’s keep in mind, that the Levitical Sacrifices were a shadow of the good things that are coming.
Read Hebrews 10:1
1   Those laws of the Old Covenant could never remove sin! Even the scapegoats figuratively removed sin from the house of Israel only for a year.
Hebrews 9:6-14
6  this would be the services of the High Priest under that first Covenant going into the front part of the Temple.
7  second = that’s to say, into the “Holy of Holies”
8   signifying = “deloo” to make clear
way = literally “the way of the Holy”
 made manifest = “phaneroo” to render apparent. This word is taken from the Greek word “fan-er-os”, meaning shinning. The Greek word “fan-er-os” is taken from another Greek word, “fah-ee-no” which means “to lighten” or “shine”. This Greek word, “fah-ee-no” is taken from the Greek base word, “foce”, which mean to shine or make manifest.
