Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year and is regarded as the "Sabbath of Sabbaths". The focus of this day is atonement and repentance, and it's observed with prayer, fasting, and giving charity to those in need. Yom Kippur takes place on the tenth day of the seventh month in the Hebrew calendar.
Yom Kippur is the only day in which the High Priest was allowed to enter the Most Holy Place in the Temple. It's a day of intercession in which the High Priest makes atonement for the people.
Should Christians keep Yom Kippur? Most Christians seem to think that Jesus put an end to the Feasts and that the Biblical Feasts are only for the Jews, but listen to what the Bible has to say about it.

I’m being heavily persecuted for wanting to observe Torah please pray for me, I have no one but Yahusha. Praying for all of you in this struggle as well.
Ahmein brother peace to you.
Some times I thank people for the abuse ..
Prayers are there for you in the Name of YaHUShA HaMaShYaCh, YaHUaH BaRaK you and keep you 👑
I am praying for you!!! I understand your struggle because my relatives are extremely opposed to Torah observance. They are a part of mainstream Christianity. I am just focusing on learning biblical obedience and trying to live a life that honors my Messiah. I am not going to fight my family on this. I am going to focus on living a life that is holy and hope that eventually my example will lead them to a deeper understanding.
You've got us, brother! I'll keep you in my prayers 😃
I am praying for you brother! You have all of us with you....maybe not physically, but our hearts and prayers most certainly are!🙏❤️
I am a Christian and I have been celebrating this day since 2010.... Some people make Infront of me ..but I believe if God said everlasting than it's everlasting.... Jesus said I did not come to change the law but to fulfill the law.... I also enjoy taking a day out and making the world around me stop and spending my time with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Fasting, praying and resting in the beauty of their peace and Holiness.
Watching and listening, I was moved to share a testimony of my spiritual experience when I received a New Birth in my spirit that has something to do with the Feast of "Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement" in the Old Covenant in relation to the New Covenant.
On the day when I surrendered my life to the Lord Jesus, wherein I acknowledged myself a sinner and humbled myself before Him in prayer with all my heart: confessed, repented and asked forgiveness of all my sins before Him, and that what He endured on the cross is for me and mankind that we may be forgiven, and that His Blood is the only one that can cleanse us from our sins, I felt something unusual happened in me.
I sensed within me that something like a water was 'poured' on my head. The 'cool water' flowed down slowly like an 'oil' from my head to my shoulders and my whole body. As the water runs down my body, hands, legs and feet, I felt something coarse like 'sand or mud' that goes down with it until it 'disappeared' at the tip of my fingers and toes. Afterward, I felt so 'light and refreshed' as if I had no weight, and then I was filled with the 'Love and Peace of God', which made me feel that 'I love all God's creation'.
Then later on something like a 'seed', broke open in my heart, wherein out of it an 'unspeakable joy' filled my whole being within that lasted for many days. Immediately I was filled with the Holy Ghost that was followed by many godly and biblical spiritual experiences and manifestation of gifts like to dream dreams and seeing visions. ( Acts 2:17; 2:38-39; 3:19-20 ; Ephesians 3:16-20; 5:18; John 3:3-8; 1 Peter 1:8; Matthew 13:23 )
The Light of the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge and Revelation ( Ephesians 1:17 | Isaiah 11:2 ):
Then and only then, I realized how filthy is a man before God; he is covered with mud of sin and filthiness of life in this fallen world. He needs the Holy Blood of Christ Jesus that He had shed on the Cross to cleanse him from all sins, filthiness, inequities and unrighteousness. Blessed be THE LORD.
Truly, the Word of God is true concerning the filthiness of man because of sin, and the cleansing of it can be done only by the washing of the Holy Blood of the Son of God, which He had poured out on the Cross.
My experience clearly defines and confirms the message of the Gospel on the forgiveness of sins in the Name of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus by the Atoning Sacrifice He had done on the Cross for our Salvation and in receiving the promised Life Eternal in Heaven.
Furthermore, the sin that had entered into this world and man's life is the weight that made man carries a heavy load. But, the Lord Jesus had carried it all the way until His death on the Cross of Calvary. Therefore, those who acknowledged what He had done and received it in their lives as a propitiation of their sin and fallen nature shall He remove this weight from them. He shall replace it with a burden and yoke of following Him and living His Will that is light and easy.
This testimony of God in me made me fully understand how to be forgiven of The LORD our Merciful and Gracious God as what His Word, the Holy Bible teaches, which I considered a 'great and marvelous' work of The LORD our God.
Thank You so much Father, for washing away my sins and cleansing me with the Holy Blood of Your Only Begotten Son, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that He had shed on the Cross of Calvary. Thank You for the "Justification unto Sanctification" that Your Son had done on the Cross for me and mankind. Thank You so much Father.
Scriptural Lights:
Psalm 51:2, 7, 10 | Ezekiel 36:25-27 | John 13:7-10 | Hebrews 10:22 | Psalms 19:12 | Jeremiah 33:8 | Acts 3:19 | Matthew 11:28-30 | Romans 8:29-30 | Ephesians 5:26 | Titus 3:5 | Ephesians 1:7 | Romans 5:8-11 | Romans 3:23 | Romans 10:9-10 | 1 John 1:7-9 | Revelation 7:14 | Leviticus 17:11 | Hebrews 9:22
I believe that Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement in the Old Covenant in relation to the New Covenant is always observe daily and not just yearly in the LIFE of the SAVED BELIEVER, for ONCE and for ALL HIS LIFE he RECEIVED it, to LIVE and CARRY IT OUT throughout his life, as he WALKED with God in SPIRIT and in TRUTH offering his or her LIFE a LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY and ACCEPTABLE to God, being SEPERATED from the WORLD ( things that AFFLICT the LIVES of the true sons and daughters of God ).
With regards to the Seven Feasts or Days of Appointments in the Old Covenant ( Leviticus 23 ), in relation to the New Covenant, I believe that they are in the LIFE of the child of God as ALL IN ONE PACKAGE of the GIFT OF LIFE being the FIRSTFRUIT of SALVATION in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from his JUSTIFICATION to SANCTIFICATION, NEW BIRTH and INFILLING of the HOLY SPIRIT. All these and all the other LAWS in the Old Covenant are MAGNIFIED within in the LIFE of a true child of God by the MINISTRATION of the HOLY SPIRIT, as what the Lord Jesus said, 'He came to MAGNIFIED the LAW'.
To God be the Glory and Honor alone! God bless and graces to all.
I had the same thing. You got baptized by the Holy Spirit fire. And perhaps you also got delivered/ set free from any heaviness or unclean spirit. Glory to God Almighty. May God save all your families as well in Jesus name i pray amen
I pray for an experience like that also!!! 🕊
I am so glad that I found this video. I tried to tell Christians that we were grafted in to the Jewishness of our Messiah, we are not here to graft them in to our westernize way of Christianity. I believe that celebrating the feast brings us into a deeper intimacy with our Lord which is what the church is missing.
ZiggyLu 2022 wow YOU understand!! Thank you. Baruch HaShem 🙏🏻
ZiggyLu 2022 regardless of Jesus - the Law Of Moses presides over all - its an everlasting covenant
It is an image of the work of God through Christ Jesus. And since God has done this, and is ever present in our conscience and minds the deed that was done in the past, a living truth in our spirit, we are to rest from works as commanded.
Those who do not rest on this day are cast out.
This is the day of atonement. And you must be humble, rend your heart, and cease from all your works.
Please consider

Peace
In that He saith, A new covenant, He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Hebrews 8:13
Thank You, Father, for Your Old Covenant, which points to our ultimate Atonement, YaHUsHua. i am humbled before Your awesomeness.
YAHUSHA SINCE THE OTHER MEANS GOD OF DEATH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
I've been learning more about the feasts recently and have been convicted by the holy spirit to keep these holy days of rest. Thank you for your encouragement & insights into these special days of our God (Yahuah).
Praise Yahuah!!!!❤
it was a shadow of what Jesus would fulfill. the key to understanding this is found in Daniel chapter 9:26,27, & Daniel 12:1), where it says and "He shall make an end to the daily sacrifice...etc." this points to 31 a.d. when Jesus gave up His spirit and uttered the words "It is finished", when he said this it was meaning that it made an end to sin and the first prophecy in Daniel was fulfilled; what was promised. The 7th day sabbath still is required of course. ❤ Do research on the 2300 day(year) prophecy which began when the decree to rebuild Jerusalem went out in 457 b.c.(Ezra 7:23 & chp.9) and lands on the anti-typical day of atonement beginning in 1844 a.d. where now we're in the time nearing the close of probation the time where Jesus our high priest will move into the most holy place in the Heavenly sanctuary (see Hebrews). there is too much to unpack here.
but in a nut shell to tell people that they are REQUIRED to keep this is misleading, Christ's atonement for our sins is enough and to perform this ritual in spite of is to deny what He did for us. Now we break bread and take the cup and "this do in rememberence of me". if you want to keep Yom Kipur out of your love for Him is one thing but to feel like you are REQUIRED is another.
Blessings!
@KirsyBear you said where Jesus will move into the most Holy place.
But Jesus is already there. He moved into the most Holy place in 1844. Maybe that's what you meant to say but said it wrong but I thought I'd bring it to your attention so you could clarify that point.
Awesome!!! God told me this year that I needed to celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I didn't know anything about them and started learning. Celebrating for the first time this year. Thanks!
I mean no disrespect to any of you but I have to ask. Why do you believe there is a need for both? The Christian Testament says all that ended because it was fulfilled in christ who is the final sacrifice. Isn't he good enough?? Why do you believe the commandment of Yom Kippur pertains to you when you are not living with the Jews in their land nor most of them in theirs? And what about Numbers 23:19 that says "I am not a man or a son of man." What about Ezek 18 that says the sons do not inherit the sins of their fathers? Peace.
Debra Paulino k
@@debrapaulino918 Christ is the fulfillment of all of that. all these were simply dress rehearsals ...shadows..prophecies...
yes God has really drawn me to rosh hashanah this year. excited to see if i’m drawn to yom kippur
HalleluYAH. Me too. First year.
I got called out of the Romanized paganized Christianity...
Thank you for your christian perspective on Yom Kippur. I shall remember the day through fasting and prayer as a believer in Yeshua our great high priest and Passover Lamb.
❤
Very good but Yom Kippur is not about the passover lamb. It is about goats and bulls that where sacrificed. The passoverlamb is durring passover.
@@SGOV86 Yom Kippur is the day of Atonement, Yahushua is that Atonement for our sins, a day of being remorseful for disobedience. its a somber day. May your name be found in the Book of Life. Yahuah bless you.
Thank you for this video series. I kept Yom Kippur for the first time this year, and what a powerful moed it is. Although I repent regularly, there was such a power in fasting and spending the day like the weekly Sabbath with God, but repenting and afflicting my soul and letting Him search out my inner parts and reveal all to me. Afterwards, I was given a clear revelation of my next step in my journey with Him, which I had been praying earnestly about for weeks. We serve such an awesome God and such a dear and precious Lord.
This is my first year celebrating Rosh Hashanah, and next Yom Kippur the day of atonement and I also tried fasting today....quite a journey He is leading me on....Praises to you my dear Yashuah ♡
Is God leading you to share the Good News of Salvation in Christ alone?
I have often thought for years why in Christian churches Jewish traditions have been taken out when you read the word of God it makes you think and 1st generation converts had to have had many of the Jewish traditions and feasts still going on. Thanks for the message. I see it's 5 years old but when it comes to Gods word it always feels new, fresh and timeless. Very humbling message.
Thank you for this video. After listening to your videos and those of 119 ministries the more the more I am convinced of is truth. I'm very concerned by the Christian churches appropriation of pagan festivals and their ignorance of the old treatment and lack of observance of it.
chalcedony 144
Yes but 119 says afflicting the soul means to humble yourself, not fasting. Although some people do fast, it is acceptable, but not required.
We should celebrate Yom Kippur with the Lord Yeshua as our High Priest. Wow. Thanking Him for his forgiveness and forgiving others as well. We have now a High Priest who will stand for us. Blessed is the Name of Yeshua.
im sorry you have lost your job sir.
the exact same thing happened to my son Sam. "he was fired 6 weeks ago for. going to the hospitial to see his baby born. it was a planned delivery in which they knew weeks in advance that they would need to get someone to cover his posision. they gave him an ultimatum. his job or whittnessing the birth of his child. i know he did the right thing and will find a better job.
Liz P. I don’t believe this to be true at all, yes servants commit yourselves to your masters, but masters, or employers, must all be kind and merciful.
Liz P. Quick to judge aren’t we
Christ is my atonement, providing all its benefits to me now by his grace.
@ishiftfocus,
However, remember: Jesus was a Jew to the day he died, and he did observe every Old Testament Holy Day, till the day he died. The 'last supper' is representative of the 'Night to be Much Observed' (OT) and the first day of the 'Feast of Unleavened Bread'. He knew he would not be around to continue the remainder of those days__that's why he gave his disciples an "11th Commandment" during supper: to love one another(meaning, members of The Church) as he loved them. He did not 'abolish' or replace any Holy Days or Commandments.
I feel many who 'observe' Lent, and/or, Feast of Unlevened Bread, and Atonement don't take these Holy Days beyond the observance of them. They each are represetative of a change of heart, moving forward. Each day is not just for 'that' day__we are to take our experiences of those days and utilize them in our everyday lives, from then, on. Each Holy Day is an opportunity to BE a better 'human being' while we're here. That is the message of the 'New Testament'.
Love, Light, and Blessings. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
I am a new Christian still a baby coming from the Baptist Church. I just didn’t feel fulfilled. I came out of there feeling empty and started learning Torah first by keeping sabbath and not eating unclean food. I truly believe our father directed me to channels like this, but I do not want to go to Google for the answers. I am on my own with no friends and no true Christian companions. Do not feel sorry for me for the father has put joy in my heart. I am new to the feasts and do not know when the day of atonement is this year as the calendar is all over the place. Would someone kindly furnish me with an answer bless you and may peace be with you and your family
I love you Brother! I don't know if you worship with the House of Yahweh in Abeline TX but I do and the factual, unbiased approach to the Holy Scriptures is heartwarming. Reverence of the Holy names is prudent and I thank you for your eloquently accurate delivery of the Word. Praise Yahweh!
Please pray for me I really need a change of heart
Seek the Father with all your heart and I will pray for you as well.
🙏
the fact that you recognize you need a change of heart is a wonderful start to changing your heart. seek God in his word. Prayers for The knowledge and the discipline you need
praying.
Casual Person
May The Most High circumcise your heart and make in you a new person. May it be His will to move your spirit to overcome your flesh and crave His word and presence, above all things - in the name of Mashiach Yahshua.
Shalom
THANK YOU for this clear teaching
May Yahweh help us to keep His biblical Holydays.
Praise Yahweh, this is an excellent teaching video! Thanks Lex.
Please read the New Testament now. Jesus made atonement, once for all, on the cross. This is why he is called "the spotless LAMB of God". Jesus told us that he came to fulfill the law. He also tells us love is the fulfillment of the law and then tells us "no greater love has a man than to lay down his life for his friend." Then he did that very thing. Jesus paid the price for our sins. That is atonement.
Phenomenal video, Lex! You posted just on time, thank you.
I wanted to have it out sooner, but unfortunately this was the earliest I could get it posted.
UNLEARN the lies Trust me no worries, just when you posted this video I was frantically researching what Yom Kippor is and why we partake in it. Today was my first time participating. Then your video pops up! Everything happens for a reason 👌
“I made your name known to the people you gave me out of the world. They were yours, you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, 8because the words you gave me I have given to them, and they have received them. They have really come to know that I came from you, and they have come to trust that you sent me.
9“I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given to me, because they are yours. 10Indeed, all I have is yours, and all you have is mine, and in them I have been glorified.
Lex what an insightful comment! Messianics are the only ones who can keep Yum Kippurim as we have a High Priest to officiate for us... Truth, Brilliant... I would add that we also have the perfect, ultimate sacrifice atoning for our sins. Thank you for sharing. May Yah continue to shine His face upon you and yours. Shalum!
Very well said friends. May YHVH continue to bless this work, open doors to all that need to recieve it into their lives through Messiah Yeshua. Thank you. Shalom.
Thank you for this teaching. I wish I had heard it yesterday before The Day of Atonement started. I'll remember it next year.

Praise Yah. Thanking Him for Leading me into His PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Thank you for this explanation. It's what I was looking for.
I am a Christian and was raised Christian. I saw a vision in the sky of Jesus with my mother when I was about years old on this day.
My mother was crying and came into the livingroom amd told me to come to my bedroom window. So I did. She asked me to tell her what I saw. I was shocked!!! I saw in the sky as clear as day the ocean and on the shore was sand with gold. There was a man in a small boat and he had his arms stretched out wide. There were waves and they had been moving but were still as if you had taken a picture of something that was moving. On his left which was my right there was a big fish jumping towards him in mid air.
I never understood why I was shown this only greatful. I am 41 years old now. Any interpretation would be great.
Thanks for the great video!!
YAH bless you all!
Looked over other videos and I think this is the best I have found. Thanks for it.
I have also observed that live broadcast can bring out the worst in folks like your self.
Best wishes.
Ty for this valuable insight. We are not new to the Feasts yet your teaching revived our memories of how important it is to keep this one. Also did not stop to realize that only true believers can keep this feast because we are the only ones who have the High Cohen who is worthy of entering the Holy of Holies, Yeshua HaMashiach. (Spelling?)
Thank you so much. I am struggling as a long time, solitary, self-taught Messianic. I am having trouble getting through the HHDays each year with a Catholic wife and otherwise American Protestant family. It is difficult to stay focused, confident and accurate as I practice alone and against the prevailing cultural current. So far we are consistent to observe Hanukkah and have finally shed Christmas. But it has taken almost 10 years to develop this with my wife. Now we have two young children and the in-laws are pretty rabid about their traditional holidays, as is the mainstream. I am literally exhausted and at the point where I don't want to bother, as I both RS and YK have been a scrub this year. But this give me hope as I was just thinking about how to get more organized. I look forward to your teachings on Sukkot. My children, 2 and 3, know the name Yeshua and I would love to have a some ammo that is modern and accessible to share with my family. ~thanks bro~
Would love a playlist of HHDays to refer to in the future.. I am not trying to emulate Jewish tradition as much as I aspire to the Way of Christ.
I read your comment today and I hope your family is doing better in observing some more of the Jewish holidays. I am not Jewish nor is my husband but through reading the Torah club material from First Fruits of Zion, I realize we should enjoy celebrating the feasts the Lord gave his people. In understanding the Old Testament from the perspective of Jewish teaching, I inderstand the New Testament more and understand more the Lord's redemption plan and how it has been laid out through the whole bible. So beautiful
I certainly feel blessed of this teaching. I joined other groups in Israel to learn, to live by the teaching of the Torah but mostly I see teaching of St: Paul's Epistles, which I get from Sunday Sermons. This certainly very nourishing. Thank you and God bless. Shaloam
I am glad you found it helpful
Yes let's unlearn the lies. Hebrews 8:12-13 King James Version (KJV)
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Thank you!! God bless you and your family!!!
Thank you for this. God has been taking me through a season of unlearning many things in my drawing closer to him. I am not one who enjoy aimless ramblings and debates on God's word, so this concise bible-based teaching is very refreshing for me. I was raised in the "charismatic" movement and have been concerned with the increase of mega bling, we have lost the substance of sound doctrine. In my quiet time with God I have been learning that obedience is the highest form of worship and that we MUST follow the full counsel of God's word. This is the first time I try to observe Yom Kippur and I have done it alone. I have been wanting to observe the Sabbath as well and that hasn't happened yet because of work contracts that I have signed so I would also need to find some content on how to transition from my "non-biblical" lifestyle that has always been fashioned around the Gregorian calendar and Christian culture. I believe that the Church is the "called out ones of Yeshua" and what I have grown up with is the gathering of congregations that have fused bible teachings with pagan practices. For the most part, Christians are not aware of these distinctions. I say that out of compassion because I am one of them. The sole difference is that God has been revealing stuff to me during my personal devotion time. I will continue watching the Unlearn the Lies content as I continue to press on toward the "mark of the high calling". I believe that I am a Kingdom (of Heaven) ambassador who needs to be totally immersed (theoretically and practically) in the word of God so that the spreading of Yeshua's gospel and the making of disciples can be done accurately and in a way that is acceptable and pleasing to Yaweh.

Good teaching, also sone may not be able to fast properly due to health issues (etc), but God will lead them to miniature fasts.
Also praying for the lost is a great idea and remembering his promises too 😊
Great video!
Thanks for teaching me about this special day.
Jesus is our salvation!
John 3:16
Thanks again for your response and shalom!
Thank you lexs! Much love god bless :)
U spoke the thruth amen .praise God
Alelu YAH!! Bless you brother. Yeshua is our savior. Thank you YHVH for loving us so much !!!
Thank you.powerful witness.blessed be you and your family
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!
I'm SO sorry to have missed it! I NEED a holy day calendar! Or one I can download. :o)
A reminder it is this next Sunday , 9/27/2020
It’s time again ❤ I pray you don’t miss this one. GODbless you all ❤
Happy day of the High Priest Yeshua/Jesus Sacrifice!!!!!
The Veil was torn from bottom to top. We are the Temple of The Holy Spirit.
Jesus is our High Priest.
Read the book of Hebrews entirely in one sitting.
I was deceived by trying to work my way to heaven also and took myself out of the saving grace of Jesus.
Does works get you to heaven? Do they keep you out?
Only by Grace through the blood of Jesus and faith in Him.
Blessings to you .Stay prayerful with us do not fear and love one another.
For Father's Kingdom and Glory!
Faith without works is dead. So figure out if you have faith and then just live as Abba calls you in His word. The Holy Spirit never takes you away from the wisdom of His Word ....Yeshua's life who exampled the obedience of the faith we are to aim for. That includes the Feasts and Holy Days as memorials of Abba's Salvation plan for His children. Be blessed.😁❤
Thank you for sharing I've been learning the feasts on my own this year. I'm so excited to be finding the truth!!
This was so simply put! Thank you!
Thank you. May the Lord bless you.
great video AMEN
a jew here agrees with alot you teach. Christians were led stray by their church. Jesus was an essene jew, do as he did always NOT what your church tells u 400 years after yeshua died
Blessed Thanks for such deep approach to scriptures - Please continue sharing the blessings of YAH/YASHUA! HALLELELUYA !!!

Great teaching...thanks and God bless you!
Thanks for this video
Well done Lex. I Like it. Have a productive Feast of Tabernacles and Last Great Day.
Something that keeps coming up when i study with fellow christians: god hates human sacrifice, yet uses that for ultimate sacrifice: we haven't found in old testament about a 2nd coming.
This is really good. Thanks.
Shana Tovah! These Holy Days of reflection are a time to reset and learn to know thyself and improve upon it. After Yom Kippur, I recommend reading "Revelations On Interstellar Highway 10". Shalom.
Usually on Yom Kippur people say "G'mar Hatima Tova" meaning "may your name be described in the book of life".
Great presentation, and your representation of the purpose of fasting was excellent as well. Still, there are many "everlasting" ordinances that were fulfilled in a much greater way in Christ. Just as the Sabbath is observed in an archetypical manner (Heb 4), so also is Yom Kippur, so Romans 14:5-12 would most certainly apply here. It is beautiful that you would observe it, but to suggest that those who do not observe such ordinances are sinning would be misguided.
Thanks for sharing. I learnt something from this teaching. Be blessed.
it was a shadow of what Jesus would fulfill. the key to understanding this is found in Daniel chapter 9:26,27, & Daniel 12:1), where it says and "He shall make an end to the daily sacrifice...etc." this points to 31 a.d. when Jesus gave up His spirit and uttered the words "It is finished", when he said this it was meaning that it made an end to sin and the first prophecy in Daniel was fulfilled; what was promised. The 7th day sabbath still is required of course. ❤ Do research on the 2300 day(year) prophecy which began when the decree to rebuild Jerusalem went out in 457 b.c.(Ezra 7:23 & chp.9) and lands on the anti-typical day of atonement beginning in 1844 a.d. where now we're in the time nearing the close of probation the time where Jesus our high priest will move into the most holy place in the Heavenly sanctuary (see Hebrews). there is too much to unpack here.
but in a nut shell to tell people that they are REQUIRED to keep this is misleading, Christ's atonement for our sins is enough and to perform this ritual in spite of is to deny what He did for us. Now we break bread and take the cup and "this do in rememberence of me". if you want to keep Yom Kipur out of your love for Him is one thing but to feel like you are REQUIRED is another.
Blessings!
Jesus came died on the cross and Resurrected so that we could live freely in the bounds of love which is a universal law you reap what you sow Jesus is the lord of the Sabbath what did God do on the Sabbath day he rested therefore we should rest in Christ holding firm to the universal law of love. Yeshua hamashiach is the only way you can atone for your sin
The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors copyright 1875. Non fiction. Historically correct man-gods of other nations who did all the same things as Jesus.
@Wheel & Spoke As a Christian it's ridiculous to do Yom Kippur. What an oxymoron. Paul says the yoshkie is the final sacrifice but all these Messianic squishing yoshkie together with Yom Kippur. That and Micah cinched it for me. Bye bye confusion and fear.
@Wheel & Spoke And in 200 years your savior will have taken its place in line with all the others. 16 isn't even all of them. They're just the ones you might have heard of. There are no fewer than 32! that is known of. What a sham. What a debacle. No wonder the Church opposed literacy throughout history. Only the upper classes could read and they were still controlled. You will get nowhere unless you take responsibility to educate yourself. You can have all the faith you want but it's nothing nothing. Fool's gold.
@@debrapaulino918 why would God say throughout all generations forever to keep the Holydays then?
@@daughterofthemosthigh9931 the Holydays including the 7th day Sabbath were given to the Jews only. You are not attached to the Jewish nation because of your faith in a man-god said to have incarnated as a Jew and said to have been their messiah.
Amein! Very good teaching! Thank you!
So, when I see someone posting a video about Yom Kippur or Yom Kippurim. I am always hoping that it is done accurately; in this video, you did an amazing job keeping everything according to His word!!! You will be great in His Kingdom brother!
I am going to share this.
Thanks brother
using the same logic it would be false teaching unless he teaches the practise of burnt offering too.
May you be sealed in the book of life brother
Thank you for this video and explanation.
It's interesting that Leviticus 16: 32 says "The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest is to make atonement". Does this mean the atonement ceremony was conducted by the High Priest himself, or by his son, or by an anointed priest?
If this verse points to the High Priest conducting the ceremony himself, recall that for Christians Jesus acted like the High Priest on our behalves when he figuratively entered the Holy of Holies (see Hebrews 6: 19-20).
If this verse points to the High Priest's son or designated successor, recall that Jesus is both the anointed one -- the Messiah -- and the heir to the Kingdom, the son of God.
Either way, it points to Jesus!
Hey Alex,
Thank You so much for your teaching on the day of Atonement and tieing it together with Yahshua's sacrifice , it's making much more sense to me . I did observe the day Of Atonement this year as a born again believer, but i must say I was conflicted about it. My teachings keep saying to my head "shame on You don't you believe that Christ did it all ? there are no works that you can do to save you ... " it's always a constant battle at every Feast day.. I come from an eclectic religious background, my earlier years in catholicism, where I learned about the Holy trinity. A friend and JHW, has done her best to explain to me there isn't one. I did my search and I don't see anything written word about a three in one God head do you have any thoughts in that ? I am a seeker of the truth and am lead by the holy spirit , he lead me to this site .I really do need to unlearn the Lies..
Shalom
Why would God command us to keep the High Holy days forever throughout all generations then? Yeshua coming to set us free didn't have anything to do with keeping what God has ordained..that's why satan made up holiday's to take is from true Holydays
Sometimes they fall together on the same day it's like God is saying "choose who you will serve Me or the workd"
Great explanation. Thank you. Praise Yeshua. He is the offering. He shed the innocent blood that all who believe in Him shall have eternal life. He is our High priest. He is our God and our salvation. Praise be to The Lord most high. We're only saved through Him and I'm so grateful that He loves us so much ❤️
Thank you! ❤
Well done sir!!!! (I don’t think there is a salute emoji or I’d use it! lol) That was rock solid theology! We have chosen to celebrate the festivals and days the Son of Yahweh celebrated. This is our first year, the first of many. The idea presented itself when we watched The Chosen in the Spring. I thought to myself, I believe every word of Scripture, I know who created the world and who sent His Son to be the sacrifice for many. Some have not understood this. But like you said in another comment, it is our Creator that decides how He wants to be worshipped! So, we celebrated Rosh Hashanah. My children & I gained several day’s worth of deep dives into what Rosh Hashanah, the 10 Days of Awe (Repentance) and Yom Kippur are. For Rosh Hashanah we even searched for a synagogue or temple blowing the shofar. Prior to yesterday at sundown, I had resolved to participate in Yom Kippur as the launching pad for the beginning of something much more lengthy. Today, my son and I are gaining additional droves of information for this, the Day of Repentance. The Jewish people are the bloodline of the Messiah and I have a HUGE heart for those that are not Messianic. But I chose to show my love and reverence by participating in the festivals Yeshua did. Thank you for this post! Very encouraging in this day!! Oops!! I’m not supposed to be on electronics am I?? 🤦🏻♀️ Shana Tovah!

Thank you for the revelation. I think that Christians should establish a time of spiritual atonement multiple times during the year. Praise God for the power of repentance that still changes lives.
Peace and greeting Lex...after watching your video. i pass by the DAYSTAR NETWORK(having Yom Kippur special offering) asking/begging/ cohercing/ abstracting..money from people claiming that there going to have a brake through.. the Lawd told me to tell 5 people to give $5000 dollar..(not to repent or seek his face)...its truly sad...
Wow. Those false teachers are just looking for ways to manipulate people.
UNLEARN the lies Sir, first time to your site. Help me to understand what and where the "Lie" is that is being possibly taught and by whom, and I would know that THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD would help us unlearn a or the lie. Thank You
There are two lies that I addressed in this video. 1. That Christians shouldn't keep the Biblical Feasts. 2. Many say we can't keep the Feasts correctly because we don't have an earthy temple or Levites.
The truth is that we do have a High Priest serving in the true Tabernacle and we should keep the Feasts.
Thank you for this video!
Because of the Messiah Jesus the Christ, we no longer need to offer a burnt offering etc., but to uphold this sacred appointed time through Jesus, especially now, before his return. Look to Jesus, confess and repent. Trust upon him, on his account, in his powerful worthy name, for he is the living WORD, the sacred promise of God Almighty, that we may be saved and brought back in to the Heavens into eternal life, where we were originally intended to be. Let all come to repentance through Almighty's WORD, our Savior!
Ame n Witness, God bless.
So the words "forever" mean nothing?
All attempts at trying to keep the Law of God without Jesus is grave failure that causes enmity with God. Only the ones who attempt to actually fulfill God's Holy Feasts 'without' his Begotten Son, aren't keeping the laws. All whom shove aside Jesus is guilty of this grave sin and shall be prosecuted as such. In Jesus, and ONLY in Jesus, can the law of Almighty God be truly kept 'Forever'!!! Jesus truly literally is the ONLY Priest, HIghest of all Priests, in the Heavens that is making intercession for all sinners whom believe upon his Holy Name, for he is the WORD of God, his only begotten Son. No one on the entire face of the Eretz can possibly actually keep God's Holy Appointed 'Times' without Jesus. Only those who make Jesus their Lord completely, can truly keep this Holy Time. Everyone else is without representation and without forgiveness of sins, and thus without God, until they and if they take to their knees to the Lord of lords. If they won't do it willingly NOW, soon they will when he comes. I don't think you yet see how 'Forever' means truly forever, and how only Jesus can fulfill this perfection, called for by God, forever! I hope you do. Take care
@@JoleneCatanne No justifications, just truths. Forever is forever. Yah said it, Yashua said it, He did it, He beliwved itI believe Him , not anyone else, just Him.
Hummmm, interesting. Did Jesus himself practice the 'Atonement'?
I didn't know i had to do this thank you for this information God bless you..
Hi Sherry, It might be a good idea to look into the origins of Christmas (Saturnalia), what it means and how the Most High and Messiah feel about it.
In love......
The Hebrew text reads yom kippurim (kippureem). Day of atonements, plural, coverings. Why does nobody get it right?
Thumbs up. Good teaching.
Thank you.
I keep the Holy Days but I don't fully understand how or why. Prior to Yeshua, the Jews had a specific Holy Day called the Day of Atonement that was temporary & repeated annually. Since Messiah, we have been atoned for. So why would we carry on an annual day of atonement that requires repenting when our lives are supposed to be repentant regularly as sin occurs? The High Priest Yeshua did that work on the Cross, not on this day. We no longer need to make atonement. And we're unable to bring offerings as prescribed for the Day either. And you capitalize FOREVER, but we are unable to keep the statute in completion. This video doesn't really answer these questions. Maybe it's like a memorial of the past Day of Atonement & what Yeshua has done to replace the primary function of it.
Originally, a sacrifice had to be made inorder to attain remittance for sin. Once Yahusha/Jesus laid down His Life willingly, He became the last sacrifice. But He said He did not come to abolish The Law. He said He came to fulfill The Law. That means He us found within The Law. Yahuah/God/The Father does not change. His Way remains forever.
The Feast Days were given as an everlasting statute. They were and are shadows of things to come.
They were and are about Messiah and there are future fulfillments of them to come.
Yahshua is our High Priest and has atoned for our sins, but there's a future fulfillment of the Day of Atonement coming.
Yahshua was crucified on Passover, that was no accident, Yahuah planned it that way. The Disciples received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, that was no accident.
The next Holy day after Pentecost is Yom Teruah, or the Feast of Trumpets.
Yahshua returns with the blowing of 7 Trumpets... no accident.
There are disagreements about the meanings of The Day of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles, and The Last Great Day, and that's ok, but they do have meaning for everyone and are to be observed.
We are even told that everyone in the world will keep the Feast of Tabernacles during the 1000 year reign of Yahshua.
( Zech 14:16-19 )
So, no, they were not done away with.
Keep searching, friend. You will find the truth.
@@justincase1919 I know all that. But your reply doesn't answer my questions about Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
Please learn difference between Jew and Israelite
@@geordiewishart1683 I know the difference

it was a shadow of what Jesus would fulfill. the key to understanding this is found in Daniel chapter 9:26,27, & Daniel 12:1), where it says and "He shall make an end to the daily sacrifice...etc." this points to 31 a.d. when Jesus gave up His spirit and uttered the words "It is finished", when he said this it was meaning that it made an end to sin and the first prophecy in Daniel was fulfilled; what was promised. The 7th day sabbath still is required of course. ❤ Do research on the 2300 day(year) prophecy which began when the decree to rebuild Jerusalem went out in 457 b.c.(Ezra 7:23 & chp.9) and lands on the anti-typical day of atonement beginning in 1844 a.d. where now we're in the time nearing the close of probation the time where Jesus our high priest will move into the most holy place in the Heavenly sanctuary (see Hebrews). there is too much to unpack here.

That was a very nice presetTion, and directly to the point, will pass on, Thankyou and have a nice Yom Kippur !!
bro, i just want to say thank you so much for sharing this info with us!
I'm glad you found it helpful
UNLEARN the lies, yeah, Yom Kippur this year has changed my life. Abba showed me that i've been missing his appointments (feasts) all my life! i was so convicted in such love that i was crying but feeling so good at the same time. like son just returning home, kind of remorse. it was so meaningful! and i started a new job the following Monday. i informed them that i have religious holidays on both Thursdays (for Sukkot), and they gave me the days off. :) Well, I'm a changed man, and isn't that what Yom Kippur is about? :) And our God is about changing us from glory to glory too! your sukkot vids are precious too, bro!
All the statutes were for ever. Until Christ. Who is the final atonement.....and we are now free . All things are new!
The Bible does not say until Christ. Christ was a fulfillment of the prophecy of Atonement, so we don’t have to sacrifice animals for the shedding of blood. We have Jesus who shed blood for us. But we still need to honor Him on His Holy Days.
sandra taylor: yes. free to enter into HIS rest of Hebrews chapter 4.

Amen brother , let us keep the feast ,the most holy day .with joy in the Lord and with power of the Holy Spirit in us . bless the God isreal !he has provided atonment for his people

The affliction CAN be a way to afflict our souls, but there is actually no place in scripture with specifically says that the affliction IS fasting. The best thing to do is to pray and ask for the best way to afflict your soul, it is a however a personal issue so do as you are lead by the spirit. Just and observation.
@Ann Ann But it doesn't mention for Day of Atonement 😕
@Ann Ann
acts 27:9 has nothing to do with day of atonement, pagans fasted also
@Ann Ann NIV is a corrupt version and says EASTER instaed of passover , Jesus FULFILLED the day of atonement gentiles donnot celebrate feast days they were for national Israel, not SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, the children of the flesh are not the children of God.
ISAIAH 58:3-4 Afflict soul mean fast
@@livingwater7580 Dear Living Water when you are grafted into the root Jesus the olive branches are Israel whether wild or of the Jews.
This is the early assemblies understanding that produced actions of obedience to Christ's example being the only model of how to live the redeemed life. Anything else is a corruption. Please take a deep dive into history and find out why there was a divergence to produce this idea that the Instructions of the Father changed.
Blessings😁❤️
Thanks
The fast is actually a fast of consuming and devouring others!The physical fast is also great but not near as important!

Then Moses said to God,
“Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me,
‘What is His Name?’
what shall I say to them?”
And God said to Moses,

In other words, ISRAEL, and all of ISRAEL’s EMPLOYED foreigners who have no land rights must not be paid to work BY AN ISRAELITE, or THEY break the law, not the foreigner. The point is that it was against the law for a Jew to hire a guy living in Israel, and pay him to do work on a sabbath or holy day.
This word foreigner, truly means one who remains among the Jews either by conquest or by choice, that CHOOSES to become a Jew
Combat Pyro You don’t sound very knowledgeable about our messiah that has already come. So to point out scripture that gentiles were grafted into the Jewish tree is something you would not understand.
You're mistaken.
Yom Kippur does NOT take place at the 10th day of the 7th month of the Hebrew Calendar, but on the 10th day of the FIRST month of the Hebrew Calendar.
Yom Kippur is in Tishrei. The seventh month nowdays is Nisan, which is the month of Passover.
Back in ancient days, the Jews saw Nisan, and Exodus, as time of renovation and redemption, so the Israelites saw this month as the highest of months and counted events from there. But while Nisan is "The head of months" Tishrei is "The head of the year". And so Nisan is the seventh month while Yom Kippur is in Tishrei, the first month. To make it simpler, Yom Kippur is usually in September, while Passover is in April.
It doesn't matter since we don't have to keep Jewish feasts anyways.
Great video
