__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I. Why study this day of Atonement?
It is part of "all" ("every" Matt.4:4) scripture inspired by God.
(2Tim.3:15-17)JESUS said, "Man shall not not live by bread alone
(our natural food) but by every word (Old and New Testaments)
that proceedeth (proceeds) out of the mouth of God."(Matt.4:4,
Job.23:12)
This includes theday of atonement. (Lev.16:1-34)
After the resurrection of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, He "opened
their (the apostles) understanding to the Law of Moses, and the
prophets and in the Psalms concerning Himself.[0] (which includes
the day of atonement because the Law (which includes the day of
atonement Lev.16:1-34, Luke.24:1-49 / NOTE:v.27, 44-45) These
were "things pertaining to the kingdom of God"
(Acts.1:1-4 / Luke.24:1-45)
A. The day of atonement is profitable (2Tim.3:15-17)
B. Theday of atonement is for doctrine (2Tim.3:15-17)

G. The day of atonement is given to thoroughly furnished unto

H. The New Testament writer told the Hebrews that "the Holy

of atonement.
I. The day of atonement was written for our learning (Rom.15:4)
J. The day of atonement was written that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
(anticipate / expect, foresee, predict) what God has still do in the Church.
NOTE: Therefore we should not ignore, dismiss, diminish or add to (Prov.30:5-6, Deut.12:32, Rev.19) these
truths. Let the Holy Spirit "guide you into all truth"[2](John.16:13; 14:16, 1Cor.2:1-14; Note:v.9-10, Heb.9:7-8)
K. JESUS said the "Kingdom of God is likened unto a seed being sowed by a sower
1. What is the kingdom of God?
a. .

2. Who is the sower (what is sowing 1Cor.3:1-15)
3. Some seeds fell by the way side
Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls
came and devoured them up. (Matt.13:1-0
a. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one,
and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
b. Understandeth it not
c. Then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.
3. Some fell upon stony places
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because
they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no
root, they withered away. (Matt.13:)

c. Thirty-fold (The truths of the Feast of Passover)
6. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
a. And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
(1) The "them" is the children of the flesh of Abraham (JEWS today)
(2) They had added to and diminish the Word of God with the Oral Torah, Talmud, Mishana, Misrach,
Gerra / unfaithful / taken away (NOTE: Matt.25:44, 15:1-9)
TODAY the Church is border-ling on Dimishing and adding to God's Word with all the modern
translations that we bring with us when "come to the House of God"
b. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven, but to them it is not given. (Matt.13:1-17)
(1) God is not a respecter of persons

do they understand. (Matt.10-17)
(1) They saw JESUS (THE MESSIAH) but could not His Purpose the Church They were thinking natural
(2) The same will be true with the Feast of Tabernacles and the day of Atonement
e. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand;
and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
(1) For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have
closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should
understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
(2) But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
(3) For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things
which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard
them.
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:Read full chapter
King James Version (KJV)1. The 1st Century Church preached and taught the Reality / fulfillment) of these Feasts of Israel because
JESUS opened their understanding to the Law, (that included the Feasts days), Prophets and the Psalms
"CONCERNING HIMSELF" (Key words (1Cor.5:7-8, Col.2:16-17)By the end of the seconds century, "the care of
the world" began to "choke" then out. Since the reformation the Church have been preaching Salvation
a. PASSOVER (Saved / Crucified with Christ /
b UNLEAVENED BREAD (Buried with Christ in Water Baptism / raised / resurrected to walk in newness of life)
c. PENTECOST (The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
and then say TABERNACLES TO THE SECOND COMING
Yes we can "comfort" one another with that understanding, but NOT to the point of ignoring the reality of the Feast of Tabernacles or delaying it until the Millennium
II. Description of the day of atonement
It took place every year on "the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be
an holy convocation (assembly)[10] unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire
unto the Lord. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for
you before the Lord your God. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be
cut off from among his people. And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul
will I destroy from among his people. Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath." (Lev.23:27-32)

B. The Day[5]of Atonement(Heb.10:25)
1. It was ten days after the blowing of trumpets on the first day of the 7th month
(Lev.23:23-25) This was when the high priest entered the Most Holy Place
"once every year," (Heb 9:7-8) to make an atonement for all the sin (Lev.16:30)
of the "church (nation) in the wilderness" (Acts.7:38, 1Cor.10:11, Rom.15:4)
Not only did Aaron atone for the sin of Israel, he made "atonement
for the holy place, (The Sanctuary Heb.9:2) "because of the uncleanness of the
children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins...and
heir uncleanness."(Lev.16:16-18; 23:26-29)
