The Moedim are Dress Rehearsals for prophetic events. Yom Kippurim is the second of the fall moedim, and will be fulfilled when Yeshua returns to judge the nations. Praise Yahweh for his promise to fulfill this prophecy.

The Sixth Holy Day
Leviticus 16:29-30 – “This shall be a permanent statute for you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall humble your souls and not do any work, whether the native, or the alien who sojourns among you; for it is on this day that atonement shall be made for you to cleanse you; you will be clean from all your sins.”

Key Word: Justification
Yom Kippurim is the day of atonements. Yes, I said atonements, not atonement! Under the Older Covenant, this day is the day the High Priest (Kohen Gadol) would make atonement for the holy sanctuary, for the Tabernacle, for the altar, for the priests, and for all the people (Leviticus 16:33). This is the day upon which the Book of Life was sealed for the following year. Again, The day of atonements. Yes, I said atonements, not atonement!

The Day of Atonements official Hebrew name is Yom Kippurim (יוֹם כִּפֻּר). The word Yom (יוֹם H3117) simply means: day. The word Kippur [כִּפֻּר H3725] means atonement, and kippurim means atonements. Yom Kippurim atones only for sins between man and Yahweh, not for sins against another person. To atone for sins against another person, you must first seek reconciliation with that person, righting the wrongs you committed against them if possible. That must all be done during the ten days between Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah) and Yom Kippurim, a period called the Days of Awe.

Historical Background
Yom Kippurim is the feast celebrating the day when each person’s sins of the year were covered until payment could be made to fully remove the sins. The day, however, includes much more than one single atonement. The High Priest (Kohen Gadol) would make atonement for the holy sanctuary, for the Tabernacle, and for the altar. He would also make atonement for the priests and for all the people (Leviticus 16:33). Hence, Day of Atonements — Yom Kippurim.

A person is expected to amend his or her behavior and ask forgiveness for sins committed against Yahweh and against others. During the evening and day of Yom Kippurim both public and private petitions and confessions of guilt are made. According to Jewish tradition, on Yom Teruah Yahweh writes each person’s fate for the coming year in the Book of Life, but waits until the end of Yom Kippurim to seal the book with its verdicts.

Modern Background
Hebrews 9:24-28 – “For Yeshua has not entered into the holy place made with human hands, (a mere copy of the Heavenly Most Holy Place). He has entered into Heaven itself, now to appear before Yahweh for us. Nor did he enter into Heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the Cohen Ha’Gadol (High Priest) enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise Yeshua would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But He has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Yeshua was once offered to bear the sins of many; and will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him.”

The Yom Kippurim feast sacrifices parallel the work of Yeshua Ha’Mashiach as our Kohen Gadol, or High Priest, who is of the order of Malki-Tzedek. Under the Older Covenant, the High Priest could only enter the Holy of Holies one day of the year, on Yom Kippurim . Under the Newer Covenant, Yeshua entered the Holy of Holies in the Heavenly Temple, cleansed the altar with His blood, made atonement for all sin, and now sits at the right hand of Yahweh. For the Bride of Yeshua, there is no longer any condemnation (Romans 8:1) – no need for a yearly atonement.

Conclusions
The Feast of Yom Kippurim symbolizes the final writing of the verdict that each person listed in the Book of Life is a righteous one, a tzaddik צַדִּיק. Atonements for the holy sanctuary, for the Tabernacle, for the altar, for the priests, and for all the people has been made. The payment for all sin has been paid in full by the shed blood of Yeshua Ha’Mashiach.
