Yom Kippur. Is it relevant today?

Wise and Foolish Virgins Do we have enough oil in our lamps?

Dear Brother's and sisters

Thanks for reading this blog. The link to the song itself, is at the end of this page.

I hope you are here for more than a song. Scripture inself, which is in this song, is spirit and life. ( John 6:63 Words of Yahushua)

THE "FEAST" or "FAST" OF YOM KIPPUR / THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.

I have much to share with you, related to the song and the special day on our Father's calendar. It is an appointment with Him for us all.

If you are one who is not sure if the day still even has relevance for New Testament believers, you really do need to read this. To me, who really thought it was not relevant for most of my life, it certainly is. It would now be like asking me if the scriptures are relevant? The old testament scriptures were the only scriptures believers had in Yahushua's day. They early church used the Tenach (Old Testament) it to verify truth. And regarding this feast, every indication of the new testament shows that our Saviour taught his disciples that such days were relevant and participated in them himself. Please consider also that Peter said unlearned men were twisting the letters of Paul. In saying the He was referring to them being unlearned in the Tenach! We know that Paul, wanted to know nothing more that Christ and Him crucified. So why all the letters he wrote. They are all tring to ensure that we understand that simplicity. Because the deceiver is always trying to steal our salvation. Early Gentile believers were encouraged by the apostles to go to synagogues to learn more about their new found faith. What has happened? Paul tells us: Act 20:29  For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

The "feast" of Yom Kippur is actually not a feast. In fact, considered by many, especially those of Judaism, as the most holy moed of the year, it is usually a day of fasting! It is known also as the Day of Atomenment, or the Day of Reconciliation. In the Tenach or "Old Testament", the word ATONEMENT appears 99 times.

Among other things we are told, as you hear in the song. to afflict our souls. But what kind of affliction of soul is our Father in Heaven looking for, and is it even fasting food and / or water? I think you will be blown away when your read this.

Did You Miss It? Does it relate to the "Rapture"

If we cannot pitch up at an appointed rehearsal, how will we be be ready for a "rapture" when He comes as a thief in the night

I speak, of course, of the Feast of Trumpets.

First I would like to draw your attention to the second Feast of Trumpets Song on this collection;

Feast of Trumpets - 1 Cor 15 At this point in time it is TRACK 2

If there is a rapture, (and we will discuss this), then this feast certainly relates.

Did you perhaps miss what our Father in heaven refers to as one of His APPOINTED FEASTS!

A specific time is given for them. We are supposed to study His word, discover when and what they are about, and then pitch up at the correct time and participate. Why? Because they are His declared "moedim". That is, His appointed times. One can expect that as they are His, He will be there to meet with us as we come with humble hearts and an expectant Spirit.

This particular one, Yom Teruah in Hebrew, is about blowing trumpets and it is the only one of the feasts, that falls on a new moon.

In the Hebrew calendar a new moon means a new month. In fact, the word for moon and month are similar. For this Feast of Trumpets nobody knows what day or hour the feast will begin, because you have to site the sliver of the new moon. If you cannot see it, which is what happened in Jerusalem this year because of clouds, then it is delayed!

Now that should send a little quake through the heart of many believers, because they mostly all know that "not knowing the day or hour" relates to the return of Jesus! (I prefer to call him Yahushua, because that means Yah is salvation. If you are wondering about the Yah part, search for it. It appears 4 times in both the Old and New King James. Strong's says it is the shortened version of the Sacred Name. Halleujah, is better understood today, when written HalleluYah).

I have seldom seen people who keep traditional Christian feasts miss the eve of the 24th into 25 of December! It happens to fall during what was in ancient times was the pagan of feast of Saturnalia. But few believers seems to be aware of the unbiblical aspects of these popular feasts or their pagan origins. But the truth is still not too difficult to find online. (If you want to know more, but struggle, let me know.)

So how does the Feast of Trumpets relate to "the Rapture"?

Though the word rapture does not exist in the bible, most associate it with being caught up in the air. Here are two well know passages.

1Co 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1Th 4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1Th 4:17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

The big question is: When will this take place? I believe Yahushua himself gives us the best clue:

Mat 24:29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Mat 24:30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Mat 24:31  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

I hope you noted that he said: Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened. (Man is trying to darken the sun right now in the UK. Have you heard of that! I am not saying it relates. But it really could, especially if we see this occuring more globally over time.)

The Feast of Trumpets says: "Nobody knows the day or the hour", but we who believe it good to keep Yah's feast, rehearse this every year and remind ourself of this and other important things, as we look into them every year, so that, when the trumpet blows, we will be watching, ready and not taken by surprise. Remember we are expected to look for the moon! Those predicting the day are surely foolish. He will come like a theif in the night and Yahushua himself says, only the Father knows that day and hour.

Mat 24:36  "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

Mat 24:37  But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

.....

Mat 24:42  Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

So, my question to you is.

If we cannot pitch up for an appointed rehearsal, how will we be be ready for a "rapture", when He comes as a thief in the night?

In fact, it seems clear from the book of revelation, that a great majority make their robes white during the Great Tribulation!

Rev 7:9  After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

Rev 7:10  and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

Rev 7:11  All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

Rev 7:12  saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen."

Rev 7:13  Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?"

Rev 7:14  And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Rev 7:15  Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.

Rev 7:16  They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;

Rev 7:17  for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

If you want to learn a little more about the Feast of Trumpets, please view my Feast of Tumpets blog. (The one prior to this one) THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS, LET US EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES AND OURSELVE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE READY WHEN HE COMES. FOR THE SCRIPTURES DO NOT WARN US ABOUT THIS FOR NOTHING!

Do not miss the next appointed "feast. It is Yom Kippur and is almost upon us. Actually, it is not a feast. In fact, considered by many, especially those of Judaism, as the most holy one of the year it is for most usually a fast! I hope to consider with you soon, why this feast is still so relevant to us today. So please keep an eye out for that post.

Perhaps you see things differently? I would enjoy hearing your view, whether you agree or not. Iron sharpens iron, as the scripture says in the book of Proverbs Ch 27 vs 17.

Revelation & Blowing of Trumpets.

Please read to the end, where the important link is ...

The appointments or festivals of scripture are special to our Father and Saviour, because our saviour fulfilled the spring moedim of Passover, Leaven Bread and First Fruits, in His first coming, but has still to fullfill the last three fall feasts, in what many believe will be the very near future.

Yom Teruah, is iften called the "The Feast of Trumpets", even in the KJV it is headed as such, but is not one of the three feasts mentioned in Exodus 23.and nothing is mentioned in Leviticus 23 regarding feasting:

Lev 23:23  Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Lev 23:24  "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

Lev 23:25  You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.' (Actually Sacred name in original manuscript)

As we will see later, this then somewhat mysterious feast is really a prophetic feast about being ready befire the return if Messiah. is it just fir Israelites or Jews?

As believers, according scripture, in Ephesians, we are all adopted into the commonwealth of Israel, so I hope that we will not be sleeping, but all getting out our shofars and keeping this appointed time.

Yahushua, could very well return on this particular moed or appointed time , of which no man actually knows the day or hour! It happenes that there is cloud in Jerusalem this year, that may mean it is "biblically speaking" delayed, though Jews tend to keep a fixed day by tradition.! Biblically, you need to see the new moon as instructed.

1Co 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

We must all be carrying His fruit, being ready when He comes like a thief in the night!

I hope also that you will take note of what I have to share with you. You guessed it, I am sure: A new Like A Bird In A Tree Song, to the glory or our King, from Chapter 15 of the book of Revelation, as well as the actual text regarding the keeping of the feast from Leviticus Chapter 23.
