There is a time when there is a coming of the Lord to His Temple which is you.

There is only one time that the High Priest goes into the most holy...."but into the second went the High Priest only once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people." Heb 9:7

<DIR> <DIR>

Zec 2:11-13 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.

</DIR></DIR>
Silence was kept by the congregation on Day of Atonement during to time when the High Priest was in the most holy. Here we see a reference to silence during the time when Yahweh is raised up out of the Most Holy Place to wed/choose/receive the inheritance/bride/believers which are the perfect in Messiah. This time of silence is the very time when the New/Eternal Covenant is ratified and we wait until King Yahshua emerges to claim His inheritance.

<DIR> <DIR>
Isaiah 41:1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.

Habakkuk 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.


Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

</DIR></DIR>

The reason we 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 G-d'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 Tishrei with the Day of Atonement, Day of Atonement, when the fate of each one is sealed. The intense solemon occasion demands silence.




Day of Atonement, the Sabbath of Sabbaths, is observed the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishri, September or early October in the secular calendar. The Holy of Holies was never entered 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 Yahweh. Yahweh was in that room! Somehow the Almighty, Infinite Yahweh, the King of Universe himself had taken up residence inside that room. To enter was to literally be in the presence of Yahweh. 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, 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 Yahweh, they needed to be atoned for. Yahweh in this covering, is giving it His blessing, and His sanctification, and these are for us. Without covering of Yahweh, we will be cast down with the rest of the abominations. If there is ever a time in our lives where we need to be serious as never before this is it.

Before entering the Holy of Holies, the High Priest immersed himself and put on simple, white, linen garments. Then with two handfuls of incense and glowing coals from the altar, he entered. He effected atonement for Israel and the Tabernacle through a complex series of blood rituals and sin offerings (see Leviticus 16). In these rituals, he carried the blood of the sin offerings into the Holy of Holies and splashed it seven times on the Ark of the Covenant, then 7 times on the curtain which divided the Holy of Holies from the rest of the Tabernacle and finally seven times on the altar of incense which stood before the curtain. These rituals were intended to provide the necessary covering for the Tabernacle and for Israel. Seven times we are to be purified, cleansed by the fire, seven times we are to have our hearts purified. This purification is to last for eternity, that we sin no more. This is deadly serious business the Lord has with us. I am sure the whole universe from angels to other created beings of the universe are watching this with baited breath, complete silence throughout the created universe regarding this moment.

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 Yahweh, who brought them out from Egypt. The second time he had gone up with the intentions of being a mediator, trying to bring about reconciliation.

Moses successfully pleaded with Yahweh on their behalf, and it was on this day that we have the first Day of Atonement. 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh’s fold, if you do not meet with the Lord at His appointed time, how can you receive the blessing? How can you receive the covering?

Leviticus 16:29-31 And this shall be an eternal law for you. Each year on the tenth day of the seventh month you must fast and do no work. This is true of the native born and of the proselyte who comes to join you. This is because on this day you shall have all your sins atoned, so that you will be cleansed. Before Yahweh you will be cleansed of your sins. It is a Sabbath of Sabbaths to you, and a day upon which you must fast. This is a law for all time."

Notice also that it is the sabbath of sabbaths to us, an indication towards the Jubilees of Jubilees which is also known as the sabbath of all sabbath, which Paul talks about as the "remaineth therefore a sabbath of rest." The sins are atoned for only on the Day of Atonement. Atoned as in purged, gone off the record books of the Book of Life. We know that in Hebrew the work that Yahshua is doing in the heaven has been towards the final atonement work. We know that in Revelation is the effects of the atonement of Yahshua in the heaven at work and we will see its effect upon the world

I think you can see the link between Dan chapter 7 and Rev 4-11 as being the same moment.

Dan 7:9,10 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Rev 4:2,3 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne. 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. (i.e. the Ancient of Days?)


Rev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices:


Rev 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.

Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath preveiled to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

In these days speculations will abound, but the Lord declares, "The secret things belong unto the Lord," The voice that spoke to Israel from Sinai is speaking in these last days to men and women, saying, "Thou shalt have no other Yahwehs before Me." The law of Yahweh was written with His own finger on tables of stone, thus showing that it could never be changed or abolished. It is to be preserved through the eternal ages, immutable as the principles of His government in heaven and in earth. Men have set their will against the will of Yahweh, but this will not silence His words of wisdom or command, and though they may set their speculative inventive theories in opposition to the teachings of revelation, and exalt human wisdom above a plain, "Thus saith the Lord." they will not prosper in truth.

The 10 Days of Awe (Feast of Trumpets) are a time of deep introspection, reflection, and contemplation leading up to the actual Day of Atonement, which is itself the most solemn of all the days on the Jewish calendar! In fact, this day, the Day of Atonement, though called a "Feast" day, is actually a day of Fasting and humiliation, a day in which they are commanded to "deny" themselves (in fasting and in refraining from all pursuits of pleasure and gratification.) Let's read about it in Leviticus.

Leviticus 23:26-32. The LORD said to Moses, 27. "The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. [1] Hold a sacred assembly and [2] deny yourselves, and [3] present an offering made to the LORD by fire. 28. [4] Do no work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God. 29. Anyone who does not deny himself on that day must be cut off from his people. 30. I will destroy from among his people anyone who does any work on that day. 31. You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live. 32. It is a sabbath of rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath."


Serious time in deed. "Silence in the Courtroom, ALL rise, the Honor Judge presiding." is what we hear in our courtrooms across American today, and one day it will be in the Courtroom of Heaven.

Since all the other "times", mentioned in Revelation are interpreted as literal, I will stay with that understanding.

I guess it is because of my study into "come suddenly". That would be about all the time Yeshua needed to go through everyone's mind and pass judgement.

I am always open to see what else the Lord will reveal to make things even clearer as to how this Temple of God is to relate to the feasts and services of God. I always appreciate your insight.
