Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins at sunset on Wednesday, September 15, 2021. This most holy day of the year for Jews, and Gentiles if they observe it by faith, is the day that the high priest would bring the sin offering once a year into the Holy of Holies (the Most Holy Place) for the children of Israel.
The New Covenant tells us,
“This man, Jesus, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore, He is also able to save them to the uttermost who come to God, by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them; for such a high priest became us (human), Who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens, Who needs not daily, as those high priests (throughout history), to offer up sacrifice for His own sins, and then for the people’s, for this He did once, when He offered up Himself” Hebrews 7:24-27 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)
“And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all who obey Him; called of God, a High Priest after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 5:9-10
The Prophet Isaiah said of Him,
“He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed” Isaiah 53:5
Who else “fit that bill” but Jesus Christ? Not only this prophecy, but the entire Old Testament is filled with prophecies about Him, which He perfectly fulfills.
Does anyone find it strange that not long after Jesus was crucified for the sins of humanity, the high priests were no longer able to offer sacrifices in the Temple, because the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD?
Salvation is offered to everyone who repents of sin and receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior, unless a person crosses a line with God, to the point of becoming reprobate, having no conscience (Romans 1:21-32; Hebrews 6:4-6). Now is the time of salvation for everyone; tomorrow, or even the next hour, could be too late.
Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth (Revelation 20:12-15)? If not, salvation is only a prayer away. Please visit the How Can I Be Saved page – your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.
“The Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him who hears say, Come; and let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely” Revelation 22:17

Yom Kippur (יוֹם כִּיפּוּר), the Day of Atonement, began at sunset on Sunday, September 27, 2020. This most holy day of the year for Jews, and Gentiles, if they observe it by faith, is the day that the high priest would bring the sin offering once a year into the Holy of Holies (the Most Holy Place) for himself and the children of Israel.

As a Jewish family had the table set for Shabbat and awaited other friends and relatives to arrive, also celebrating the birth of their grandchild Shabbat morning, a neighboring Palestinian arrived.
The family welcomed him in, thinking he was a neighbor who had come to celebrate with them, but to their horror, the Palestinian terrorist stabbed three family members to death with a large knife, critically wounding another, before he could be stopped.
Omar al-Abed, 19, who lived in a nearby village, entered the house and began slashing the elder resident, Yosef Salomon, 70, his daughter Chaya Salomon, 46, and son Elad Salomon, 36, who all died at the scene. Al-Abed also attacked Yosef Salomon’s wife Tova, 68, who was critically wounded and transported to a hospital in Yerushalayim.
Elad’s wife was able to rush the children into a room, lock the door and call police.
In the meantime, a neighbor, who is an IDF elite unit soldier, heard the commotion and looking through a window of the house, saw al-Abed, who was still hacking one of his victims, so he immediately shot through the window, wounding him.
Al-Abed admitted to investigators that he went into the Halamish settlement to kill Jews because of the tension at the Temple Mount.
Israel placed metal detectors to entrances at the Temple Mount, after Muslim terrorists smuggled automatic weapons in, killing three policemen just days ago. Since the placement of the metal detectors, Palestinians have been rioting, alleging the metal detectors are an infringement of their rights.
Give Muslim terrorists an inch, and they want a mile, killing you for giving only an inch!
When asked to call for peace among the rioters, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said he is “freezing all contacts with Israel,” until the metal detectors are removed.
Palestinians come to the Temple Mount, killing three Israeli police, and metal detectors are placed to ensure Palestinians do not smuggle more weapons onto the Temple Mount, to prevent the killing of even more police officers. Is that unreasonable?
The Palestinians believe so, and they are rioting.
Really?
This would be my response to Palestinian temper tantrums because of metal detectors:
“Get off the Temple Mount – for good, because every Palestinian (terrorist) is being kicked out of Israel entirely! By the way, all of your property is being seized as reparation for all of the terror attacks, killings and damage your people have waged against Israelis!”
Of course, every surrounding Arab nation would get really mad and ready to fight, but that’s when I would blow them all, every surrounding Muslim nation, to nuclear hell!
This will never happen, of course, because I don’t govern Israel and because this scenario doesn’t line up with Bible prophecy.
So, we will just have to wait until Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) arrives and takes care of the mess, and He will, and the blood is going to pour, and that won’t be Jewish blood this time!
The Word of God tells us,
“Who is this that comes from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah (Modern Jordan, who also controls religious matters at the Al-Aqsa Mosque located on the Temple Mount, and who is also in the middle of the current conflict), this that is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore are you red in your apparel and your garments like him who treads in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the people, there was none with Me, for I will tread them in My anger and trample them in My fury, and their blood shall be sprinkled upon My garments and I will stain all my raiment; for the day of vengeance is in My heart and the year of My redeemed is come” Isaiah 63:1-4 (emphasis added).
This is the Lord speaking to Isaiah about his “day of vengeance” against “Edom” and “Bozrah,” Jordanian Muslims today; He will pour out their blood so profoundly that “all” of His raiment will be stained with blood.
The “year of My redeemed is come;” might that just be the year in which the Jordanian mufti encourages all kinds of trouble and rioting against Jerusalem, which just so happens to be this year?
Zechariah also prophesied of the Day of the Lord:
“And this shall be the plague that the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth” Zechariah 14:12.
This little bit of horror is reserved for the rest of the nations that come against Jerusalem, and they will come.
The Lord apparently doesn’t need any help; He has His own “Final Solution” planned out.
Some would say, Oh, that can’t be right; that’s not a description of our sweet Jesus, the Lamb of God, who died to take away the sins of the world. There must be some mistake!
Read the Word of God, folks, if you don’t already know that Jesus died as the Lamb of God; but He returns as – The LION of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5) – with eyes aflame (Revelation 1:4) – with His sword (Revelation 19:15) – in His wrath (Revelation 6:17) – and He will smite the nations that come against His elect (Revelation 19:15)!
No, I don’t suppose He needs my help, or anyone else’s, to defend Israel on the last day preceding His Millennial Reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
