Well, the first one of this series stirred up some spirits, and I love it. The Word of Yahweh is clear, He wants us to follow Him, with pure hearts, not hearts full of human traditions, either rabbinic or clerical oral traditions. That's why I'm sharing these with you. What did Yahweh said to Moses, recorded in Torah, to keep in Yom Kippur? Nothing... a day of reflection, not football.
This is the day we do not bring sacrifices; the High Priest is the one bringing the offerings, for himself, for his fellow priests, for his family and for the nation of Israel. And every time the priesthood performed an offering, they needed to clean themselves. But I can't explain everything here in a social media post. The only thing I can say is... Do this sound familiar? Of course, there are two events in our lives that reflects this, Yeshua offering during Passover (the work at the cross), and the one that's still to happen, His return as King, not as a suffering servant. Where the Teruah will sound, and we will all be gathered from all nations, to watch Him doing the all the sacrifices, demolishing kingdoms, establishing His dominion, and we are to do nothing. Just watch.
What is your duty as the receiver of atonement and redemption? You are to do nothing you normally do, that means, no TV, no self-entertainment, but reflection in what Yahweh has done for you. He was the one who orchestrated the new covenant for you. Read Jeremiah 31:31-33 and Ezekiel 36:24-27.
But here some ideas of what you can do during Yom Kippur:
1. Observe it in the 10th day of the 7th month (started on Sept. 12 - based in moon sighting), so the 21st at sunset to the 22nd at sunset.
2. It is a holy convocation (sacred gathering - celebrate with people).
3. "Afflict your souls" (this means humble yourself before Yahweh your Elohim), how do this look like, what is it the most you like to do in your leisure time? Deny yourself from that for a full day. Or do as rabbis suggest, fast, that will afflict you for sure. Or a full day without your phone or tablet, that for sure will afflict many of you.
4. It is a Shabbaton, a High Shabbat of rest, no work.
The purpose is the remembrance of the atonement and cleansing from sin before Yahweh that Yeshua accomplished for us in the tree (cross), so we do not forget His benefits. We do not deserve this, we were made righteous before Yahweh, because of what Yeshua did.
