The Missing Cubed Equation Of Atonement!!!

 


"Are we supposed to fast on this day?."


A determined believer posted his concern about the Day Of Atonement in a Scriptural-based forum.


Many comments on his question post stating:


"Yes."


Let us be mindful of following the majority ...








Many proclaim that YEHOVAH's Day Of Atonement is a day set apart not just as a 24hour day sabbath  but a day that involves fasting.


Is it really a day to fast ???


Although many choose this day to fast, there is no command to do so.


The Scriptures remind us that we are not to add or take away from YEHOVAH's word mentioned in Deuteronomy 4:2.


So here are 3 reasons why Day Of Atonement cannot be a day of Fasting :


1) It doesn't mentioned to fast at all.

Interesting how the Scriptures spell out instructions and we act out what's not even written.


The word "Afflict" in Leviticus 23:32 references to deny or humble oneself.

Think about when YEHOSHUA said unless one humbles themself like a child he shall no means enter the kingdom noted in 

Matthew 18:1-5.

Does this mean that the child was fasting???


2) Understanding the Statutes.  

Most believers do not decipher the differences of YEHOVAH precepts especially the Statutes which the Day Of Atonement has plenty of.

Statutes are one of  YEHOVAH's 3 precepts that give a deeper meaning to His days of observance.

In this case for Statutes, they are usually an act,  object used to relate in ceremonial or non-ceremional attribute to the homeland of the Israelites.

This can range from the Lamb for the Passover, Tassels being worn, Shofar being blown, Offerings being presented, to even the location where you can tithe food.


Without this profound understanding many will take their own initiative & do what is pleasing in their own site instead of in the sight of YEHOVAH.

A grateful example of this would be Jeroboam's story of replacing the Statutes of YEHOVAH displayed in 1 Kings 12:25-33.



3) The was food offerings on Atonement.

This may come as a shock to most people who fast on Atonement but our forefathers ate food on that day...

Notice the offerings mentioned on Atonement in Leviticus 16:11.


Now notice the offerings mentioned in Number 29:7-11.

Basically you have every form of offerings mentioned there in the book of Numbers chapter 29...


We can learn from 2 verses in the Torah that Sin offerings along with the rest of the offerings are to be consumed according to 

Leviticus 10:17 & Deuteronomy 12:6-7.


We come to deeper conviction that even in the future of Atonement when the Messiah returns that these sin offerings will be still be consumed -Ezekiel 43:18-27.


Remember YEHOVAH  doesn't change:

James 1:17

Malachi 3:6

Psalm 102:27


So let us make it our duty not to change HIS word- Proverbs 30:6.

This Is Mandatory!!!

  "Have you seen this?" A lady sitting across from me showed her friend a picture. Her friend responds : "Oh yeah, I saw that earlier on my social feed. Isn't it adorable?" Now her friend responds: "Who would have thought someone would rescue a baby polar bear while sailing?" Sadly this has been another AI visual misleading two innocent beings. Hmmmmmm... The Scriptures remind us that it's mandatory to prove all things according  to 1 Thessalonians 5:21 . Reason for this is that we live in Satan's world noted in  2 Corinthians 4:3-4 & John 12:30-31 . So we must be mindful of the crafty schemes of the Adversary displayed  in 2 Corinthians 2:11 . So we don't end up walking by the flesh instead of the Spirit discussed in  Galatians 5:16 & 1 Peter 2:11 . So as AI videos and images continue to flourish in this misleading world... Let us not be conformed to it be reformed by the renewing of our mind-  Romans 12:2 & 2 Corinthians 5:7...

Biblical Forensics Is Hiring!!!

  "What book are you reading?"  This older yet elegant woman says to me. My response while sitting on a bench by a quiet park: "The Scriptures." The woman responds : "That is good to see you are into Biblical Forensics?" I told her : "I like the sound of that." "Biblical Forensics." Hmmmmmmmm... Scriptures remind us that we are called to prove all things  according to 1 Thessalonians 5:21 . We are here to test and detect the wicked of this world noted  in 1 John 4:1 . Our inspections are not to be taken lightly with the evidence we have been given displayed in Luke 12:48 . So with the overwhelming evidence as being apart of YEHOVAH's Forensic's team - Revelations 5:10 . Let us always be careful not to tamper with unchanging & crucial evidence put before us -   Deuteronomy 4:2 & 2 Timothy 2:15 !!!

Will You Let YEHOSHUA Have The Last Dance???

Image
  "Ehhh.... Are you looking for your dancing shoes?" My elder utters as he passes by our fellowship center. My response: "Dancing shoes?" He responds : "Don't be late for the last dance with the Bridegroom?" Then, he proceeds to walk away humming one of his favorite hymns. I'm now thinking out loud : "The Bridegroom." Then another quick thought echoes out : "OOOHHHH ...THE MESSIAH.........." Scriptures remind us that there is a soon coming wedding to take place mentioned  in Revelation 19:6-10 . This wedding will be more entertaining than the dancing of King David noted  in 2 Samuel 6:14 . With all the rejoicing sounds of the harps and tambourines  demonstrated in Psalms 149:3 . This Bride has been awaiting for this moment for a long time for the presence of the Bridegroom - Romans 8:18 . Even though the Bridegroom has delayed His arrival giving the Bride time to prepare... When He Does Arrive... Will you be in attendance rea...
