Yom kipor which is Hebrew for the day of
atonement is regarded as the most holy
day in God's sacred calendar we read
about it in Leviticus 23: 26 during this
day the high priest would go into the
holy of holies with the blood of a bull
and the blood of a goat he would then
take that blood and pour it on an altar
that was over the Ark of the Covenant
inside the Ark of the Covenant were the
Ten Commandments he would take that
blood once again poured on the altar
there and when the Lord saw the blood
poured upon the altar over the Ark of
the Covenant that house the Ten
Commandments he would forgive the sins
of his people for that year the point is
beloved they had broken The Ten
Commandments but the blood was the
Lord's way of making an atonement for
their sins you see he said to us in
Leviticus
17:1 that the life of the flesh is in
the blood and I've given it to you on
the altar to make an atonement for your
souls for it's the blood by reason of
its life that makes atonement you see
blood shed is symbolic of the fact that
a life has been given and the blood of
the bull and the Goat beloved was taken
from innocent animals these innocent
animals represented the Purity that was
necessary for a sacrifice to be accepted
you see one that's sinful can't die for
somebody else that's sinful only one
that's unblemished or holy can make a
sacrifice for the sin of someone that's
guilty of course this act beloved this
prophetic act that took place on Yom
kipor was symbolic of what Jesus would
do for us much of the book of Hebrews
tells us all about how Jesus fulfilled
Yom kipor the day of atonement because
Jesus is perfect because he has no sin
when he gave his life on the cross and
then they put that spear in his side so
the blood came out beloved that wasn't
that was a sacrifice that father God
accepted for you the Bible says that the
blood of the BS and the goats could
never really take away sin it was just
like a a shadow it was like a credit
card credit cards can't make real
payment but because the merchant knows
that real payment is coming he accepts
the credit card and so too these
sacrifices that took place in ancient
Israel on yum kipur could never really
take away sin but they were symbolic of
the fact that Jesus was coming and when
he gave his sinless perfect life for us
beloved then final atonement was made
and you are forgiven because of Messiah
