Eternal Life One Month til Yom Kippur-how to get ready

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul." Leviticus 17:11 G-d is speaking of His atonement for mankind.

Promise:"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." The Holy One of Israel, The Redeemer Yeshua The Messiah (Jesus The Christ) cleanses us from our transgressions.

G-d's sacrifice-Getting ready for Yom Kippur

So, Where is G-d's promised sacrifice that is looked forward to during this time of year? Isaiah gave the answer in Isaiah 52:13 through Isaiah 53. The suffering servant, the righteous servant is G-d's sacrifice for our souls. As this scripture is read, keep in mind it does not describe Israel itself for Israel never suffered for others sins but its own sins and was never a righteous servant as Israel was taken captive to Babylon and other places because of their unrighteousness. Isaiah says "'Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider. Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the L-RD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form, nor comeliness and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of G-d and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the L-RD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgement: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the L-RD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the L-RD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

This is G-d's promised sacrifice for "all we like sheep have gone astray...". We thought G-d had smitten him but he was smitten for" our transgressions..." G-d's sacrifice made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death..." but G-d's sacrifice did not stay in the grave,"..he shall prolong his days..."Next post will deal with more prophecies of G-d's sacrifice for mans sin.

Where is the sacrifice for Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur is coming in about six weeks. The blood atonement is expected and waited for. For centuries it has been anticipated. Where is the blood atonement that G-d promised in Leviticus 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul." G-d says life is in the blood, ( "For the life of the flesh is in the blood...") and G-d himself says He has given the blood, to make peace for your soul(and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls...")Here G-d is making the sacrifice, (He says "..I have given it...")not man making the sacrifice. G-d is doing it for man to atone for man's soul. Where is G-d's blood that He sacrificed for the atonement of man's soul? Think about it.

Foundations

In building a house there a two basic types of foundations that I know of. The first type of foundation you find used a lot in Texas and is the newer type called slab foundation. It consists of preparing the ground, digging trenches for footings, putting down a layer of gravel,using re bar and finally pouring the cement to reach about 4 inches above the ground. The older method is called pier and beam foundation. Holes are dug deep into the ground,footings are poured and piers are put on top of the footings. The piers rise up out of the ground as high as you want your sub floor to be off the ground. The piers are used to support the beams that the house is built on. It is hard for people to believe that the pier and beam foundation happens to be the stronger of the two types, especially if you have seen mostly the slab foundation used all you life.

No matter which foundation is chosen, they perform the same function, to build a house upon . One is stronger ,will withstand more stress and will have more stability. There will be more security using the stronger foundation, last longer with less problems.

This comparison reminds me of the Bible issue. The Authorized King James Version had been the foundation for doctrine for almost 400 years. In it you can find the Trinity,Coming Redeemer and King, virgin birth, sinless life of the Redeemer, blood atonement, death, burial, bodily resurrection, The Son's Ascension into heaven, sitting on the right hand of the Father, coming again. This foundation has given us a fear of G-d, producing wisdom and knowledge.It has caused many to see their guilt before G-d, to repent( to turn from their wrong way to G-d and His way having faith in Yeshua's  blood atonement).

Other versions started being proclaimed as better. Since then, fear of G-d has died along with the wisdom and knowledge the fear of G-d brought. People are confused, cannot see any difference in G-d's way and the way of the world.

The Bible says "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Psalm 11:3
