[Micah 7:1-7 KJV] [1] Woe is me! for I am as when they have Gathered the summer fruits, as the grapeGleanings of the Vintage: [there is] no cluster to eat: my soul desired the Firstripe Fruit. [2] The Good [Man] IS perished out of the earth: and [there is] none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. [3] That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. [4] The best of them [is] as a brier: the most upright [is sharper] than a thorn hedge: The Day of thy watchmen [and] Thy Visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. [5] Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. [6] For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies [are] the men of his own house. [7] Therefore I will look unto The LORD; I will wait for The God of my Salvation: my God WILL Hear me.
THE LORD’S FEAST OF THE DAY OF ATONEMENT IS A FAST ….
[Leviticus 16:29-31 KJV] [29] And [this] shall be a Statute for ever unto you: [that] in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall Afflict Your Souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: [30] For on that day shall [the priest] make an Atonement for you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before The LORD. [31] It [shall be] a Sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall Afflict Your Souls, by a Statute for ever.
[Numbers 29:7 KJV] And ye shall have on the tenth [day] of this seventh month an Holy Convocation; and ye shall Afflict Your Souls: ye shall not do any work [therein]:
[Leviticus 23:27-32 KJV] [27] Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a Day of Atonement: it shall be an Holy Convocation unto you; and ye shall Afflict Your Souls, and Offer an Offering made by fire unto The LORD. [28] 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. [29] For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be Afflicted in That Same Day, he shall be cut off from among his people. [30] And whatsoever soul [it be] that doeth any work in That Same Day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. [31] Ye shall do no manner of work: [it shall be] a Statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. [32] 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.
…IN WHICH WE FEED, CLOTHE & HOUSE OTHERS …
[Isaiah 58:6-14 KJV] [6] [Is] not this The Fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? [7] [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? [8] Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; The Glory of The LORD shall be thy Rereward. [9] Then shalt thou call, and The LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, Here I [AM]. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; [10] And [if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the Afflicted Soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness [be] as the noonday: [11] And The LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. [12] And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. [13] If thou turn away thy foot from The Sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on My Holy Day; and call The Sabbath a delight, The Holy of The LORD, honourable; and shalt honour Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words: [14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in The LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for The Mouth of The LORD HATH spoken [it].
[James 2:15-17 KJV] [15] If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, [16] And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit? [17] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
… AND THE BIRDS FEAST ON THE FLESH OF THE SLAIN …
[Revelation 19:17-18 KJV] [17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto The Supper of The Great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both small and great.
[Revelation 18:2-8 KJV] [2] And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. [3] For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. [4] And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. [5] For her sins have reached unto Heaven, and God HATH remembered her iniquities. [6] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. [7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. [8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one Day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for Strong [is] The Lord God who Judgeth her.
[Zepheniah 1:7-8 KJV] [7] Hold thy peace at The Presence of The Lord GOD: for The Day of The LORD [is] at hand: for The LORD hath prepared a Sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. [8] And it shall come to pass in The Day of The LORD’S Sacrifice, that I will Punish the princes, and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
[Ezekiel 39:1-7 KJV] [1] Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith The Lord GOD; Behold, I [AM] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: [2] And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the North Parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: [3] And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. [4] Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy Bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured. [5] Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken [it], saith The Lord GOD. [6] And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the Isles: and they shall know that I [AM] The LORD. [7] So will I make My Holy Name known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not [let them] pollute My Holy Name any more: and the heathen shall know that I [AM] The LORD, The Holy One in Israel.
[Ezekiel 39:17-20] [17] And, thou son of man, thus saith The Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; Gather yourselves on every side to My Sacrifice that I do Sacrifice for you, [even] a Great Sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. [18] Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. [19] And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of My Sacrifice which I have Sacrificed for you. [20] Thus ye shall be filled at My Table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith The Lord GOD.
… AT THE FULFILLMENT OF THE DAY OF ATONEMENT ON THE EARTH, CALLED THE DAY OF THE LORD.
[Joel 1:13-15 KJV] [13] Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of The Altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the Meat Offering and the Drink Offering is withholden from The House of your God. [14] Sanctify ye a Fast, call a Solemn Assembly, gather the elders [and] all the inhabitants of the land [into] The House of The LORD your God, and cry unto The LORD, [15] Alas for The Day! for The Day of The LORD [is] at hand, and as a destruction from The Almighty shall it come.
[Isaiah 13:9-11 KJV] [9] Behold, The Day of The LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. [10] For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. [11] And I will Punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
[Jeremiah 46:10 KJV] [10] For this [is] The Day of The Lord GOD of Hosts, a Day of Vengeance, that he may avenge Him of his adversaries: and The Sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for The Lord GOD of Hosts hath a Sacrifice in the North Country by the river Euphrates.
[Ezekiel 13:2-5 KJV] [2] Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye The Word of The LORD; [3] Thus saith The Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! [4] O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. [5] Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the House of Israel to stand in the battle in The Day of The LORD.
[Joel 2:11-13 KJV] [11] And The LORD shall utter His Voice before His Army: for His Camp [is] Very Great: for [HE IS] Strong that executeth His Word: for The Day of The LORD [is] great and very terrible; and who can abide it? [12] Therefore also now, saith The LORD, turn ye [even] to me with all your heart, and with Fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: [13] And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto The LORD your God: for HE [IS] Gracious and Merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
[Revelation 1:10 KJV] I was in The Spirit on The Lord’s Day, and heard behind me a Great Voice, as of a Trumpet,
[Ezekiel 39:8-16] [8] Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith The Lord GOD; this [is] The Day whereof I have spoken. [9] And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: [10] So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down [any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith The Lord GOD. [11] And it shall come to pass in That Day, [that] I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the Valley of the Passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call [it] The Valley of Hamongog. [12] And seven months shall the House of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. [13] Yea, all the people of the land shall bury [them]; and it shall be to them a renown The Day that I shall be Glorified, saith The Lord GOD. [14] And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. [15] And the passengers [that] pass through the land, when [any] seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamongog. [16] And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
[Ezekiel 39:21-29] [21] And I will set My Glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see My Judgment that I have executed, and My Hand that I have laid upon them. [22] So the House of Israel shall know that I [AM] The LORD their God from That Day and forward. [23] And the heathen shall know that the House of Israel went into Captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against Me, therefore hid I My Face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. [24] According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid My Face from them. [25] Therefore thus saith The Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the Captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole House of Israel, and will be Jealous for My Holy Name; [26] After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against Me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made [them] afraid. [27] When I have brought them again from the people, and Gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and AM Sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; [28] Then shall they know that I [AM] The LORD their God, WHICH caused them to be led into Captivity among the heathen: but I have Gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. [29] Neither will I hide My Face any more from them: for I have poured out My Spirit upon the House of Israel, saith The Lord GOD.
THE LORD’S FEAST OF THE DAY OF ATONEMENT IS ALSO THE DAY OF CHRIST …
[2 Thessalonians 2:1-10 KJV] [1] Now we beseech you, brethren, by The Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our Gathering Together unto Him, [2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that The Day of Christ is at hand. [3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for [That Day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that Man of Sin be revealed, the Son of Perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in The Temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. [5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? [6] And now ye know WHAT withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. [7] For the Mystery of Iniquity doth already work: only HE WHO now letteth [will let], until HE BE taken out of the way. [8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom The Lord shall consume with The Spirit of His Mouth, and shall destroy with The Brightness of His Coming: [9] [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not The Love of The Truth, that they might be Saved.
[1 Corinthians 1:4-8 KJV] [4] I thank my God always on your behalf, for The Grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; [5] That in every thing ye are enriched by Him, in all Utterance, and [in] all Knowledge; [6] Even as The Testimony of Christ was Confirmed in you: [7] So that ye come behind in no Gift; waiting for The Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: [8] Who SHALL also Confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in The Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[Romans 2:8-16 KJV] [8] But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey The Truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, [9] Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; [10] But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that Worketh Good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: [11] For there is no respect of persons with God. [12] For as many as have sinned without Law shall also perish without Law: and as many as have sinned in The Law shall be Judged by The Law; [13] (For not the hearers of The Law [are] just before God, but the doers of The Law shall be Justified. [14] For when the Gentiles, which have not The Law, do by nature the things contained in The Law, these, having not The Law, are a law unto themselves: [15] Which shew The Work of The Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) [16] In The Day when God shall Judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
… IN WHICH JUDGMENT BEGINS AT THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, WITH HIS SAINTS.
[1 Peter 4:17 KJV] For the Time [is come] that Judgment must begin at The House of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not The Gospel of God?
[2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV] For we must all appear before The Judgment Seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.
[1 Corinthians 3:13-15 KJV] [13] Every man’s Work shall be made manifest: for The Day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by Fire; and the Fire shall try every man’s Work of what sort it is. [14] If any man’s Work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a Reward. [15] If any man’s Work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be Saved; yet so as by Fire.
[Ezekiel 9:3-6 KJV] [3] And The Glory of The God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon HE WAS, to The Threshold of The House. And He called to the man clothed with linen, which [had] the writer’s inkhorn by his side; [4] And The LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the City, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a Mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. [5] And to the others He said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the City, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: [6] Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] The Mark; and begin at My Sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which [were] before The House.
DURING THE LORD’S FEAST OF THE DAY OF ATONEMENT WE CONFESS OUR SINS AND THE SINS OF OUR PEOPLE, …
[Nehemiah 9:2-3 KJV] [2] And the Seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and Confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. [3] And they stood up in their place, and read in The Book of The Law of The LORD their God [one] fourth part of the day; and [another] fourth part they confessed, and worshipped The LORD their God.
[Daniel 9:20 KJV] And whiles I [was] speaking, and praying, and Confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before The LORD my God for The Holy Mountain of my God;
[Leviticus 26:40 KJV] [40] If they shall Confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and that also they have walked contrary unto Me;
[Daniel 9:3-6 KJV] [3] And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with Fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: [4] And I prayed unto The LORD my God, and made my Confession, and said, O Lord, The Great and Dreadful God, keeping The Covenant and Mercy to them that Love Him, and to them that keep His Commandments; [5] We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from Thy Precepts and from Thy Judgments: [6] Neither have we hearkened unto Thy servants the prophets, which spake in Thy Name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
[Daniel 9:10-12 KJV] [10] Neither have we obeyed The Voice of The LORD our God, to walk in His Laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets. [11] Yea, all Israel have transgressed Thy Law, even by departing, that they might not obey Thy Voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the Oath that [is] written in The Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. [12] And HE HATH confirmed His Words, which He spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
… WE STAND IN THE GAP AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY, …
[Leviticus 26:41 KJV] And [that] I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then Accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
[Daniel 9:7-9 KJV] [7] O Lord, Righteousness [Belongeth] unto Thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, [that are] near, and [that are] Far Off, through all the countries whither Thou HAST driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against Thee. [8] O Lord, to us [Belongeth] confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee.[9] To the Lord our God [belong] mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against Him;
[Ezekiel 22:30 KJV] And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
[Numbers 16:46-48 KJV] [46] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off The Altar, and put on Incense, and go quickly unto the Congregation, and make an Atonement for them: for there is Wrath gone out from The LORD; the plague is begun. [47] And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the Congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on Incense, and made an Atonement for the people. [48] And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
[Deuteronomy 5:4-7 KJV] [4] The LORD talked with you face to face in The Mount out of the midst of The Fire, [5] (I stood between The LORD and you at that time, to shew you The Word of The LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of The Fire, and went not up into The Mount;) saying, [6] I AM] The LORD thy God, WHICH brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. [7] Thou shalt have none other gods before Me.
[Exodus 32:31-32 KJV] [31] And Moses returned unto The LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. [32] Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin–; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of Thy Book which Thou hast written.
[Revelation 5:8-10 KJV] [8] And when He had taken The Book, the Four Beasts and four [and] twenty Elders fell down before The Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the Prayers of Saints. [9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou ART Worthy to take The Book, and to open the Seals thereof: for THOU WAST slain, and HAST Redeemed us to God by Thy Blood out of every Kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; [10] And hast made us unto our God kings and Priests: and we shall reign on the Earth.
[Daniel 9:14] Therefore HATH The LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for The LORD our God [IS] Righteous in all His Works which He doeth: for we obeyed not His Voice.
[Numbers 30:8 KJV] But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard [it]; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and The LORD shall forgive her.
[Numbers 30:12 KJV] But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and The LORD shall forgive her.
[Numbers 30:15 KJV] But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.
… WE REPENT AND ASK JESUS CHRIST TO FORGIVE US AND TO PAY OUR SIN DEBT WITH HIS BLOOD, …
[Daniel 9:16-19 KJV] [16] O Lord, according to all Thy Righteousness, I beseech thee, let Thine Anger and Thy Fury be turned away from Thy City Jerusalem, Thy Holy Mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people [are become] a reproach to all [that are] about us. [17] Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of Thy servant, and his supplications, and cause Thy Face to shine upon Thy Sanctuary that is desolate, for The Lord’s Sake. [18] O my God, incline Thine Ear, and hear; open Thine Eyes, and behold our desolations, and the City which is called by Thy Name: for we do not present our supplications before Thee for our righteousnesses, but for Thy Great Mercies. [19] O Lord, hear; O Lord, Forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for Thine Own Sake, O my God: for Thy City and Thy people are called by Thy Name.
[1 Kings 8:47 KJV] [Yet] if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and Repent, and make supplication unto Thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
… AND WE VOW TO RETURN TO RIGHTEOUSNESS BY OBEYING HIS COMMANDMENTS.
[1 Kings 8:48-53 KJV] [48] And [so] Return unto Thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto Thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the City which Thou hast chosen, and The House which I have built for Thy Name: [49] Then hear Thou their prayer and their supplication in Heaven Thy Dwelling Place, and maintain their cause, [50] And Forgive Thy people that have sinned against Thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against Thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them: [51] For they [be] Thy people, and Thine inheritance, which Thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: [52] That Thine Eyes may be open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto Thee. [53] For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the Earth, [to be] Thine inheritance, as Thou spakest by the hand of Moses Thy servant, when Thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.
[Ezekiel 36:22-27 KJV] [22] Therefore say unto The House of Israel, Thus saith The Lord GOD; I do not [this] for your sakes, O House of Israel, but for Mine Holy Name’s Sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. [23] And I will Sanctify My Great Name, WHICH WAS profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I [AM] The LORD, saith The Lord GOD, when I SHALL BE Sanctified in you before their eyes. [24] For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. [25] Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. [26] A new heart also will I give you, and a New Spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27] And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My Statutes, and ye shall keep My Judgments, and do [them].
[1 John 1:9 KJV] If we Confess our sins, HE IS Faithful and Just to Forgive us [our] sins, and to Cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[1 John 2:1-5 KJV] [1] My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with The Father, Jesus Christ The Righteous: [2] And HE IS The Propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world. [3] And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His Commandments. [4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not His Commandments, is a liar, and The Truth is not in him. [5] But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is The Love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.
[1 John 5:3 KJV] For this is The Love of God, that we keep His Commandments: and His Commandments are not grievous.
THE LORD’S FEAST OF THE DAY OF ATONEMENT IS A SABBATH; BUT IT IS NOT THE SABBATH, IT IS “YOUR SABBATH”…
[Leviticus 16:29-31 KJV] [29] And [this] shall be a Statute for ever unto you: [that] in The Seventh Month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall Afflict Your Souls, and Do No Work At All, [whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: [30] For on That Day shall [the priest] make an Atonement for you, to Cleanse you, [that] ye may be Clean from all your sins before The LORD. [31] It [shall be] a Sabbath of Rest unto you, and ye shall Afflict Your Souls, by a Statute for ever.
[Leviticus 23:31-32 KJV] [31] Ye shall Do No Manner of Work: [it shall be] a Statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. [32] 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.
ON THE LORD’S FEAST OF THE DAY OF ATONEMENT THE HIGH PRIEST ENTERS BEYOND THE VAIL INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIS SINS AND THOSE OF THE PEOPLE …
[Leviticus 16:2-31 KJV] [2] And The LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into The Holy [Place] within The Vail before The Mercy Seat, which [is] upon The Ark; that he die not: for I will appear in The Cloud upon The Mercy Seat. [3] Thus shall Aaron come into The Holy [Place]: with a Young Bullock for a Sin Offering, and a Ram for a Burnt Offering. [4] He shall put on The Holy Linen Coat, and he shall have The Linen Breeches upon his flesh, and shall be Girded with a Linen Girdle, and with The Linen Mitre shall he be attired: these [are] Holy Garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in Water, and [so] put them on. [5] And he shall take of the Congregation of the Children of Israel Two Kids of The Goats for a Sin Offering, and one Ram for a Burnt Offering. [6] And Aaron shall offer his Bullock of The Sin Offering, which [is] for himself, and make an Atonement for himself, and for his house. [7] And he shall take The Two Goats, and present them before The LORD [at] The Door of The Tabernacle of the Congregation. [8] And Aaron shall cast lots upon The Two Goats; one lot for The LORD, and the other lot for The Scapegoat. [9] And Aaron shall bring The Goat upon which The LORD’S lot fell, and Offer Him [for] a Sin Offering. [10] But The Goat, on which the lot fell to be The Scapegoat, shall be presented alive before The LORD, to make an Atonement with him, [and] to let him go for a Scapegoat into the wilderness. [11] And Aaron shall bring The Bullock of The Sin Offering, which [is] for himself, and shall make an Atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall Kill The Bullock of The Sin Offering which [is] for himself: [12] And he shall take a Censer full of Burning Coals of fire from off The Altar before The LORD, and his hands full of Sweet Incense beaten small, and bring [it] within The Vail: [13] And he shall put The Incense upon the fire before The LORD, that The Cloud of The Incense may Cover The Mercy Seat that [is] upon The Testimony, that he die not: [14] And he shall take of The Blood of The Bullock, and sprinkle [it] with his finger upon The Mercy Seat eastward; and before The Mercy Seat shall he sprinkle of The Blood with his finger Seven Times. [15] Then shall he Kill The Goat of The Sin Offering, that [is] for the people, and bring His Blood within The Vail, and do with that Blood as he did with The Blood of The Bullock, and sprinkle it upon The Mercy Seat, and before The Mercy Seat: [16] And he shall make an Atonement for The Holy [Place], because of the uncleanness of the Children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for The Tabernacle of the Congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. [17] And there shall be no man in The Tabernacle of the Congregation when he goeth in to make an Atonement in The Holy [Place], until he come out, and have made an Atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the Congregation of Israel. [18] And he shall go out unto The Altar that [is] before The LORD, and make an Atonement for it; and shall take of The Blood of The Bullock, and of The Blood of The Goat, and put [it] upon The Horns of The Altar round about. [19] And he shall sprinkle of The Blood upon it with his finger Seven Times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the Children of Israel. [20] And when he hath made an end of Reconciling The Holy [Place], and The Tabernacle of The Congregation, and The Altar, he shall bring The Live Goat: [21] And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon The Head of The Live Goat, and Confess over him all the iniquities of the Children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon The Head of The Goat, and shall send [Him] away by The Hand of a Fit Man into the wilderness: [22] And The Goat shall bear upon Him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and He Shall let go The Goat in the wilderness. [23] And Aaron shall come into The Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall put off The Linen Garments, which he put on when he went into The Holy [Place], and shall leave them there: [24] And he shall wash his flesh with Water in The Holy Place, and put on his Garments, and come forth, and offer his Burnt Offering, and The Burnt Offering of the people, and make an Atonement for himself, and for the people. [25] And The Fat of The Sin Offering shall he burn upon The Altar. [26] And he that let go The Goat for The Scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in Water, and afterward come into the Camp. [27] And The Bullock [for] The Sin Offering, and The Goat [for] The Sin Offering, whose Blood was brought in to make Atonement in The Holy [Place], shall [one] carry forth without the Camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. [28] And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in Water, and afterward he shall come into the Camp. [29] And [this] shall be a Statute for ever unto you: [that] in The Seventh Month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall Afflict Your Souls, and Do No Work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country, or a Stranger that sojourneth among you: [30] For on That Day shall [the priest] make an Atonement for you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before The LORD. [31] It [shall be] a Sabbath of Rest unto you, and ye shall Afflict Your Souls, by a Statute for ever.
… BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY DAY HE ENTERS THE MOST HOLY PLACE. HE AND THE MEN OF HIS FAMILY EAT THERE WITH THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, BEFORE THE LORD, EVERY DAY …
[Numbers 18:8-10 KJV] [8] And The LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of Mine Heave Offerings of all The Hallowed Things of the Children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of The Anointing, and to thy sons, by an Ordinance for ever. [9] This shall be thine of The Most Holy Things, [reserved] from the fire: every Oblation of theirs, every Meat Offering of theirs, and every Sin Offering of theirs, and every Trespass Offering of theirs, which they shall render unto Me, [shall be] Most Holy for thee and for thy sons. [10] In The Most Holy [Place] shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be Holy unto thee.
… AND THE OTHER PRIESTS EAT BEFORE THE LORD DAILY OUTSIDE THE VAIL, IN THE HOLY PLACE, WITH THE PURE GOLDEN ALTAR, THE PURE GOLDEN TABLE OF SHEWBREAD, AND THE PURE GOLDEN MENORAH …
[Leviticus 24:1-9 KJV] [1] And The LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Command the Children of Israel, that they bring unto thee Pure Oil Olive Beaten for The Light, to cause The Lamps to burn continually. [3] Without The Vail of The Testimony, in The Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before The LORD continually: [it shall be] a Statute for ever in your generations. [4] He shall order The Lamps upon The Pure Candlestick before The LORD continually. [5] And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake Twelve Cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one Cake. [6] And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon The Pure Table before The LORD. [7] And thou shalt put Pure Frankincense upon [each] row, that it may be on The Bread for a Memorial, [even] an Offering made by fire unto The LORD. [8] Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before The LORD continually, [being taken] from the Children of Israel by an Everlasting Covenant. [9] And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; andthey shall eat it in The Holy Place: for it [is] Most Holy unto him of The Offerings of The LORD made by fire by a Perpetual Statute.
