Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)

October 12, 2005 was Yom Kippur. On that day I wrote the following post:

*******************

"The LORD [YHWH] said to Moses, 'The tenth day of this seventh month [Ethanim or Tishri] is the Day of Atonement [Yom Hakkippurim]. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present an offering made to the LORD by fire.'" (Leviticus 23:26-27 NIV)

"But only the High Priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year [on Yom Hakkippurim], and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance." (Hebrews 9:7)

"When Christ came as High Priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption." (Hebrews 9:11-12)

"For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence." (Hebrews 9:24)

"The High Priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood." (Hebrews 13:11-12)
