I am just curious about Yom Kippur

[NewLight04]

I think that this guy on news TV is very good looking:blush: and he seems so much into his faith. He is Jewish and every year he is not TV durning his Jewish holidays. I was told that Yom Kippur is the biggest of them all. I was told that Jews they do not eat the first full day and they have a list of thing that they must do. Please tell me, if you do not mind, what that is. I think it is remarkable. God bless you all!:thumbsup:

This being MessianicChristian forumn, we do things a bit different from Jews. :)

some things are the same.

We get to dress in all white.
I get to wear a head cover over my hair.
We get to confess together.
We get to pray to gether.
We get to say blessings together.
We get to fast together.
We get to study Jonah together.
The next evening we get to break fast together.
We get to worship together.

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT

Ten days later, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, takes place. This was the one day when the High Priest was allowed to enter into the Most Holy Place in the Temple, sprinkle blood on the ark of the covenant, and atone for the sins of Israel. This is a very solemn day, when Jewish people fast and pray and ask for forgiveness. The rabbis teach that we have ten days from the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets to the close of Yom Kippur in which to repent. According to this tradition, if you do not repent during those ten days, God will blot your name out of the Book of Life, and sometime during the coming year you will die. This is a day for judgment, atonement and cleansing. Prophetically, it looks forward to a future day of judgment and cleansing immediately following Yeshua's return. That judgment is further described in the twenty-fifth chapter of the book of Matthew. Yeshua tells us that after He returns, He will establish His throne and judge all the nations. Those nations and individuals who turned to God will be welcomed into His kingdom. Those nations and individuals who have not repented will be turned away from life in the Kingdom. It makes sense that this judgment will occur on the very day of some future Yom Kippur.


The above is an excerpt from an article entitled: Leviticus 23: Yeshua in the Jewish Holidays (http://www.shema.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=31) You would probably find the entire article very interesting reading.
