We know that outward things are not as important as what is going on inside. On this day of repentance and fasting, how can we, by faith, understand better what Yeshua is doing on our behalf, to cleanse us, the temple?
Leviticus 16:11-12 11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself: 12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
We are the royal priesthood, and this Yom Kippur we are to spiritually be bringing the sin offerings to make atonements.
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Since this time more than any other time, God has opened up the way to go all the way with Him, how are we on this day to prepare for such an experience?
I have read about fasting, and that is part of it, but I feel that there is more. Moses had to take three days to prepare himself and the multitude for Mount Sinai. We are given the Feast of Trumpets to spiritually prepare, but are we?
This fire was taken from the altar where the sacrifices of Atonement had been made. Only that fire was suitable to light the incenses on the golden altar in the Holy Place (Lev. 10:1,7). Does this not indicate that something more?
Leviticus 16:13 13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
This fire was symptomatic of the fire of the Holy Spirit. All other fire was strange fire. Remember Aaron’s sons were killed over this offering.
