Yom Kippur - Wedding

[visionary]

Day of Atonement

The Talmud teaches that bride and groom on their wedding day are forgiven for all their prior sins. Consequently, the day of their wedding is considered a "minor Yom Kippur" and it is customary for them to fast on this day.

I do not accept Talmudic writings as Scripture, especially when they contradict Scripture. So a groom that has been cheating on his betrothed or murdered some man a week before his wedding has his sins atoned for by getting married??? Not! I suggest you stick with Scripture and put away traditions that contradict it.

 

[Elihoenai]

Indeed!!!

Union in Sin attain NOT forgiveness!


Matthew 9:1-8 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

9 And having gone to the boat, he passed over, and came to his own city,

2 and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, `Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

3 And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, `This one doth speak evil.'

4 And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, `Why think ye evil in your hearts?

5 for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to thee; or to say, Rise, and walk?

6 `But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon the earth to forgive sins -- (then saith he to the paralytic) -- having risen, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.'

7 And he, having risen, went to his house,

8 and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men.

Interesting responses.

I am not so concerned with the Talmud and what it says. I am using it in this instance to reveal an understanding.

How many people today make light of the Day of Atonement and not see the wedding. Even when the feast of trumpets should have woken them up to the event? So it is very important to be ready Rev 3:20 "and you yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocked, they may open unto him immediately." Why would they open unto him immediately? I will tell you why. It is because they were expecting him, looking forward to this moment, and knew what to expect when he arrives.

As Yeshua said “Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh shall find watching" verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants."[1]Watches are the break down of the day into quarters, which guards were on duty. Each of them had a four hour segment of time in which it was their duty to make the rounds on the wall, either of the city wall or the temple wall and announce from there what is happening.

[1] Luke 12:37

Wedding between the believers and Yeshua comes when they are "face to face". This occurs in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets. When the high priest stood before God on the Day of Atonement, he was said to be "face to face" with God.

Because of this, the Day of Atonement became known by the phrase "face to face." "Face to face" is a terminology used in: “For you know in part; and you prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child; I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now you see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”[1]

You may have heard this before but, this clear sounding trumpet blows and you will hear it. You are now going to know exactly how defeated the devil is and how you will rise up and the city of today's Babylon will fall all in one day. When is that day? In Revelation 4, John never left the earth but the Bible said he heard a truth and it was a voice speaking to him. You know what that voice said? “Come up hither.” He never left the earth. He left in vision and came up and went higher until he saw a throne and one seated on that throne. That is the revelation you must see. You must see Yeshua on the throne high and lifted up. It has to do with coming into the marriage, Day of Atonement.

When did the glory come? The glory is the Lord coming suddenly to His Temple in the seventh month. [1] The Day of Atonement is in the seventh month, this is when the High Priest is to minister in the most Holy Place “While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, behold the bridegroom cometh; go out to meet him.”

[1] 1 Kings 8:2

There is a time when there is a coming of the Lord to His Temple is you and your mind. There is only one time that the High Priest goes into the most holy. So be silent before God, for the day will come when He will dwell in your mind in all His awesome glory. [1]

[1]Zec 2:11-13

Silence was kept by the congregation on Day of Atonement during to time when the High Priest was in the most holy.[1] Here you see a reference to silence during the time when God is raised up in the Most Holy Place to wed/choose/receive the inheritance/bride/believers that which is perfect in Yeshua. This time of silence is the very time when the New/Eternal Covenant is ratified and you wait until King Yeshua emerges to claim His inheritance.[2]

The reason you are most familiar with it is that it is on this day that Divine Justice is soon to be meted out to all individuals and to all nations. It is the date on which the cases of all of God's creatures come up before the Heavenly Court for a ten-day "trial" beginning on Feast of Trumpets, which is the first day of the Ten Days of Repentance, and climaxing on the Tenth of Tishri with the Day of Atonement, Day of Atonement, when the fate of each one is sealed. These ten days could be like the test that Daniel experienced as he continued to live as God wanted in the face of Babylon ways. [1]

[1] Dan 1:12; Revelation 2:10

 

[visionary]

Day of Atonement, the Sabbath of Sabbaths, is observed the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishri, or as you understand it, somewhere between September and early October in the secular calendar. The Holy of Holies was never entered into except for this one day out of the entire year. In the Holy of Holies was the Ark of the Covenant and enthroned between the Cherubim on the Ark was the manifest presence of God. God was in that room! Somehow the Almighty, Infinite God, the King of Universe himself had taken up residence inside that room. To enter was to literally be in the presence of God. Once a year, on the holiest day of the year, the holiest man in the world had to enter the holiest place in the world. He had to enter into the presence of the Holy, Holy, Holy, and Lord of Hosts.

He had to enter in order to make atonement for Israel, for the Holy of Holies, for the Tabernacle and for the altar. Because these things were continually in the presence of God, they needed to be atoned for.

The first Day of Atonement took place after Moses returned from his second trip to Mt. Sinai with the replacement set of tablets containing the Ten Commandments. He had broken the original set when he returned the first time to discover the children of Israel worshiping a golden calf rather than God, who brought them out from Egypt.

Moses successfully pleaded with God on their behalf and this would have been the first atonement for the people. He also ascended the mountain for a second set of tablets. In Moses' absence, the nation fasted from sunrise to sunset. Moses descended the mountain on the tenth of Tishri.

Upon returning, Moses found the nation truly repentant and announced that God had forgiven them. He decreed that the tenth of Tishri would remain a day of atonement for all generations. In order to receive an inheritance, you must be taken back into the God’s fold, if you do not meet with the Lord at His appointed time, how can you receive the blessing?[1]

The seven trumpets of Revelation will test to see what type of metal you are made of. By the Day of Atonement, when the Lord opens up the Book of Your life....the polishing will be finished, the potter will have finished molding your character that is to hold His spirit, the temple which is you. Can you hold the Spirit of God within you perfectly?

In discussing the Day of Atonement it is helpful to accurately define the word "Atonement." Atonement does not mean forgiveness of sin. It is from the Hebrew word kaphar which means, "Covering". This is the one day a year when the High Priest is to create a covering for Israel, separating the sin from the sinner forever. This covering, is the robe of righteousness, that fine linen you have been looking for. This is the wedding day when Yeshua will marry His bride.

 

[visionary]

Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden enjoyed the presence of God. They walked with him daily in the garden. Then they sinned. Their eyes were opened and they immediately realized that they were naked. They immediately realized that they were which covering. Instinctively they began to try to sew fig leaves together to cover themselves because they knew God was coming, and they knew they could no longer stand in His presence. They could not enter His presence without covering.

Their effort to cover themselves, however, was futile; so when they heard God's voice and knew that he was entering the garden, they hid themselves. They could not come face to face with him.

After judging them, the book of Genesis tells you, that God made garments of skin to cover them. Thus the story of the fall of man leaves you with your first glimpse of atonement. God kills an animal to cover Adam and Eve. It is the first record of death in the creation, and it is a sacrifice meant for a covering.

Perhaps this was the very first Day of Atonement. According to tradition, Feast of Trumpets is the anniversary of their creation. Is it possible that 10 days later was the day they sinned?

Another example of the need for atonement is found in the story of Moses and the Golden Calf. After Israel sinned by making the golden calf, Moses ascended Mount Sinai to interceding for them. God was ready to destroy Israel; He was unwilling to even let His presence be among them. He said, "I will send an angel with Israel, but I cannot go with you or I might break out against you and destroy you." [1]

Because of the sin of the calf, Israel found herself unprotected. She has no covering. She is in danger from the presence of God. But Moses says to Israel, "Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”[2]. He fasts for forty days and nights, and then goes back up the mountain with the two new tablets. The two tablets are meant to replace the ones he broke when he saw the calf. He goes back up the mountain; back up into the presence of God. On the mountain Moses implores God for mercy and requests to be shown all of God's glory. Is that what the two witnesses will being doing for us?

Face to face. God replies that no man can see his face and live. Moses would be consumed by God's glory. Instead God offers to cover Moses with his hand, hiding him in the cleft of the rock, while God passes by and declares the full meaning of His Name. He offers to tell Moses exactly who he is.

He offers to reveal to Moses his Essence [being].[1] And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, 'The Lord, the Lord,*** the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.

[1] Exodus 34:5-7

 

[visionary]

This experience that Moses went through was the first time in record history that the full extent of God's mercy and grace were revealed. Moses already knew God was gracious, he already knew he was abounding in loving kindness, but to what extent he probably never realized, until that moment when God covered him with his hand and proclaimed his Name.

Only then was it made clear that God is so Holy and pure that even when He reveals Himself it is only the essence of God and a better understanding of the meaning of his Name. In the Day of Atonement, you need to readily admit that you have no nothing, no worthy deeds, no spiritual strengths of our own; you have nothing to show God, nothing to tip the scales of judgment in our favor, except Yeshua.

You have no basis to ask for mercy except for this, "You are the Lord, the Lord, gracious and compassionate..."

The Second Time Moses, with the Ten Commandments, comes down from Mount Sinai; God makes a new covenant with Israel. When the people see Moses, his face is radiating brilliance from being in the presence of God. Moses achieved covering for Israel's sin. According to Jewish tradition, the day Moses came down from Mount Sinai was in the fall at the time of fall feasts. The picture of Moses in his second coming is startlingly messianic.

On Moses' first trip down the mountain out of the presence of God, the tablets were broken. Like Yeshua himself, the Word was broken for the sin of the people. After this initial descent down the mountain, Moses returned to the God. He went back into the very presence of God to make atonement, to effect a new covenant, to reveal the true and very Essence of God. He was able to reveal the full extent of God's mercy and grace. These things accomplished, he then returned, bearing the New Covenant in his arms. He came down from the Father in splendor, in glory, in brilliance, terrible to behold.

On the Biblical calendar, the tenth day of the seventh month is the appointment known as Day of Atonement. The Day of Atonement is the Holiest day of the Biblical year. It is a day of intense prayer, fasting and calling out to God for mercy and grace. It is a day for doing business with God. It is a day for coming face to face with God.

You can see an intersection of three Holies. On the Day of Atonement, the Holiest man in the world (the High Priest of Israel) goes into the Holiest Place in the world (the holy of holies) on the Holiest Day of the year (the day of Day of Atonement). Let’s not take this lightly as others have died from assuming that this can be done in any manner. [1]

Like the trumpets announced, this event is for the kings and priest of God, whom Yeshua is the chief.[1] Let us go back to the sanctuary as priests and make the sacrifice that is necessary to be one with Yeshua.[2]

It is customary to wear white on the Day of Atonement today, which symbolizes purity and calls to mind the promise that our sins shall be made as white as snow.[3] The linen miter is a Holy Crown of the King of Kings. This is a royal battle upon which is fought over the Temple of God.
