Yom Kippur - Wedding

The Temple services of Yom Kippur are the illustration of how the Lord is going to cleanse us of all sins in our minds once and for all. To be at one with God, we have to be in perfect harmony with Him. This covenant relationship is revealed in Yom Kippur.

The coming of the Lord to His temple, Malachi foretells as the judgment.

Before the Lord comes to the temple, he will send “my messenger” to prepare the way just as John the Baptist prepared the way with a call to repentance before Yeshua began His first coming spring feast ministry. Revelation has two messengers before the second coming. Two witnesses announce the start of the Feast of Trumpets.

Malachi with these words prophetically pointed out that this coming will be harder to abide by for some. It will be for the believers, the messenger of the covenant that they have waited for:

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, said the LORD of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appeared? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, said the LORD of hosts. For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers you are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, said the LORD of hosts.

They are to be days of intense soul searching and repentance and even fear as you prepare to enter the presence of the judge of all creation. Amos reminds us to fear the judgment of God as you would tremble at the sound of the watchman's trumpet and that came the great Day of the wrath of Him and who is able to stand.

Yom Kippur is the king pin of all of the appointed feasts. It is when the battle is won, the sins are atoned for, and the union between man and God are once again one. The war for the minds of men is God’s ultimate purpose. It is in the minds of men that the real battle is fought, and when you only see the manifestations of it, in the action of those around us, you may miss the significance of what is really occurring. It is often the case where you can not see the forest because of the trees. For others it is you can not see the trees for the forest. At either end of the spectrum, it is a real spiritual battle that is taking place now.

God’s true temple, where He wants to reign, is in our minds. When He reigns there exclusive without end, we are His bride. Yom Kippur is "to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place". Our mind is the most holy place for God to dwell. Not visit, not knock on the door, but to enter in and dwell, and that will happen on Yom Kippur.

Let’s start by going over to the Temple of God where Yeshua is ministering on our behalf. The Temple of God, that Moses laid out in the sand which is the pattern, and now we are to look and see ourselves, through Yeshua’s life, and as a part of it. It is the foundation of the truth found in the Old Testament and be seen in relationship to Yeshua. After all as Paul said “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

The Holy Spirit wants to dwells in everyone and what we have is our conscience which the Lord speaks through. It is one thing to have the instrument that the Lord speaks through, and it is quite another to have the speaker. As you enter into the Temple of God, which I will walk you through, you need also to permit Yeshua to enter your heart in a fuller measure. Yeshua is waiting for you to invite Him into your life that He may be the high Priest of your heart and life in a fuller measure. As Yeshua said “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will eat with him, and he with me.”

The plan of redemption is not complete... only the spring feast have been fulfilled by Yeshua with His first coming,.. the fall feasts will be fulfilled with His second coming... and then our redemption will be complete...

Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Summary

God's purpose is Ephesians 1:4 and Yeshua is the head of that purpose Ephesians 1:22-23; Ephesians 4:15; and He is espoused 2 Corinthians 11:2 to be married Matthew 22:2; Revelation 19:7-9 to the new creation which is the house, the temple and the body of believers belonging to Yeshua, the groom. 1 Timothy 3:15; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 12:27

Now knowing the judgement of the Lord has an appointed time, called the Day of Atonement, it is important to learn more about this appointed time and what to expect. I want you to understand that when the Lord comes to His temple it will be fast, suddenly. For those that are prepared for it, this will be a time of great rejoicing, for those who are unprepared, it will be the judgement that they so feared.[1]

Think about it, if God suddenly came to your mind, and all the secret things are revealed in their true light, how would you feel, what you do and how would you respond to such an event.[2]

[1] 2 Chronicles 29:36; Psalm 64:1
[2] Proverbs 29:1

Because of hardness of heart, there will be people will not listen to the message that would have prepared them as to what is about to come upon the world, leaving them unprepared for the reality of the event. [1] This is way it is so important to keep your eyes upon the Lord and His Word which He speaks through. He will declare everything before it comes to pass. [2]

[1] Isaiah 47:11
[2] Isaiah 48:3

Taking down that curtain in your mind, that most people use to mentally separate themselves from God, before He comes to your temple like He did to the Temple in the wilderness. God suddenly shows up in all His majestic Holiness, and my question to you is , are you prepared for Him to come in all His Holiness? Today it is your sins that separate you from God like a curtain. They are what keep you from seeing God.[1] God will tear down that curtain suddenly in the day that He said He would.[2]

[1] Isaiah 59:2
[2] Jeremiah 4:20

God’s people will be rejoicing when He comes to their temple, in the real way which is more awesome than there are words to describe the experience. It will be a totally different event for them.[1] The Lord knows that only He is the one for His bride. He will come suddenly to her, which is our minds, the Temple of God, at the appointed time. It is important for believers to be ready at the appointed time for this experience with God. It is so necessary for us to prepare to live with God forever.[2] We know whos is the chosen man, who is appointed over her. God asks “who is like me?” and “who will appoint me the time?” and “who is that shepherd that will stand before me?” [3] God said that He will come suddenly to His Temple.



[1] Jeremiah 6:26

[2] Jeremiah 49 :9

[3] Malachi 3:1

With these important thoughts on the value of what we are about to understand, let us prayerfully proceed. The 2300 day prophecy was given to prepare the mind of men, for the coming of God to His temple, which is your mind, for the final cleansing necessary, or for the judgment of the mind that will not stay cleansed. This is the true Yom Kippur. Those who are prepared, lamps lit, plenty of oil will embrace Yeshua coming to their temple.

Do you remember the story that Yeshua told about the house that was cleansed of demons and later after the demons came back to find the house cleaned, and they gather legions to fill this house, which Yeshua declared was worse than the first.[1]

[1] Luke 11:24-26

pan> God said that He will come suddenly to His Temple.

[1] Jeremiah 6:26

[2] Jeremiah 49 :9

[3] Malachi 3:1

Now that you see the storm that is coming upon the world and upon those out there in the outer court. Now is the time to go inside the temple of God. Now is the time to understand where the ark of salvation is and for what is soon to come upon the world and to all mankind.

Now it is time for us to put on the fine linen that Yeshua has provided and come in and partake of the priestly bread, the heavenly unleaven bread and the hidden manna.

We are to spiritually come closer to the Lord in truth and in spirit. By entering into the heavenly sanctuary, we will learn what God has prepared for us, for the time of trouble. The Lord is our refuge, and He has provided us shelter for what will soon consume the world in wickedness and abominations.[1]
