Tag: Day of Atonement

Introduction

Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–If we look at the laws of the old covenant in the bible, we can see the festivals of God. God gave his people seven festivals divided into three times. The third set of festivals are festivals kept in Autumn. Those autumnal festivals are the Feast of Trumpet, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

Today, let us take look at the Day of Atonement and the spiritual fulfillment of the festival. Through this examination, we will surely be able to know that the true forgiveness of sins are coming from God the Mother.

The Day of Atonement

Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–The date for the Day of Atonement is the the 10^th day of the 7^th month in the sacred calendar. This day has its origin from the work of Moses bringing the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandment from Mt. Sinai for the second time. To commemorate this event God commanded the Israelites to celebrate the Day of Atonement. (Ex 34:27-28, Lev 23:26-32)

The first set of the stone tablets that Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai was thrown down and broken into pieces because of the sins of God’s people. The people thought Moses was dead on the mountain. And they made an idol in the shape of a calf and started to worship it as their gods. Because of this sin of people, God destroyed many of them.

Finally, God was gracious and forgave them one more time. And to prove his forgiveness, he gave his words of the Ten Commandment for the second time. By keeping the words of God, they could receive the salvation of eternal life. (Mt 19:17)

The Regulations of The Day of Atonement

Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–Then what was the regulations of the Day of Atonement in the Law of Moses? And what is the hidden meaning behind the regulations?

As we can see in the name the Day of Atonement, this is the day when God gives atonement or forgiveness for all the sins of people they committed throughout the year.

The Sanctuary and Forgiveness of Sins

Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–When people committed sins, they have to sacrifice different animals according to the degree of the severity of their sins. Some brought birds; others animals of different kinds and different sizes. However, one thing was common to all of them. They must kill the animal and shed the blood of the animals for the forgiveness of their sins. It was because they would not receive the blessings of forgiveness without shedding of blood. (Heb 9:22) To receive the forgiveness, somebody must shed blood in their stead.

For this reason, when people brought sin offerings to the priests, the priest would kill the animals and took the blood sprinkling the blood on the sanctuary. In this way, the sanctuary took the sins of people over temporarily. And through this sacrificial ceremony people could hand their sins over to the sanctuary. (Lev 4:4-6)

The Forgiveness Of Sins On the Day of Atonement

Sin Offerings For Forgiveness

In this way, the sanctuary or the temple would hold the sins of people until the Day of Atonement. And finally on this day, the sins of people temporarily assigned to the sanctuary could be completely atoned through the regulations of the Day of Atonement. Let us first look at the regulations of the Day of Atonement.

Leviticus 16:3-6 3 “This is how Aaron is to enter the Most Holy Place: He must first bring a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. … 5 From the Israelite community he is to take two male goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 6 “Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household.

For the cleansings of the sins relegated to the sanctuary, they first had to sacrifice animals, a bull for priests and their family, and a goat for the people. Then the high priest would enter the inner room or the Most Holy Place of the sanctuary, and sprinkle the blood of the animals for all the articles of the sanctuary.

Leviticus 16:15 “He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and take its blood behind the curtain and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle it on the atonement cover and in front of it. 16 In this way he will make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites, whatever their sins have been. He is to do the same for the tent of meeting, which is among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

Sins Handed Over To A Scapegoat

Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–When the high priest finished the cleansing of the sanctuary, finally, the sins of people temporarily handed over the sanctuary is given to a scapegoat.

Leviticus 16:20 “When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat (or the scapegoat). 21 He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. 22 The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness.

All the sins the Israelites committed would be transferred to the scapegoat by laying hands on its head. And the scapegoat or Azazel was taken to the remote place and died there. In this way, the sins could be completely forgiven.

The True Meaning Of The Day of Atonement

Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–Then what is the meaning of the Day of Atonement? The bible says that the laws and regulations of the old covenant were given to us as guardian to lead us to Christ who gives us the true forgiveness. (Gal 3:24)

The True Sanctuary Or Temple

To understand the regulations of the Day of Atonement first, we have to know the reality of the temple which takes over the sins of people. According to the bible, Christ is the reality of temple and he is the one who takes over our sins.

John 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.

Therefore, Christ is the reality of the temple and he is the one who takes our sins over through his sacrifice.

John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

The Most Holy Place and God the Mother

Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–However, the most important part of the regulations of the Day of Atonement was “entering the Most Holy Place.” It was not allowed to enter the Most Holy Place. If anyone does, he got destroyed immediately. (Lev 16:1)

However, on this day only one time a year, the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place. Through this, he could cleanse the temple from all the sins of people. And he could bring the complete forgiveness by handing the sins over to a scapegoat. Then what is the reality of the Most Holy Place that we must enter for the complete forgiveness?

2000 years ago, Jesus appeared as reality of the temple. And he represented the outer room or the Holy Place of the temple. According to the bible, the reality of the Most Holy Place would appear in the last day to complete the forgiveness of sins and give salvation to God’s people.

The Reality of the Most Holy Place

The most important characteristic of the Most Holy Place is that it is shaped like a cube.

1 Kings 6:19 He prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the Lord there. 20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high.

This earthly sanctuary was made to reveal the reality, that is, the heavenly temple. (Heb 8:5) Through this model of earth sanctuary, God is teaching us the reality of heavenly sanctuary so that we can know who is the reality of the temple.

Revelations 21:9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. …. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long.

According to John who saw the heavenly sanctuary, the heavenly Jerusalem or the heavenly Most Holy Place is coming down from heaven and was to reveal its true identity to us by coming down to this earth. Just as Jesus the reality of the Holy Place of the temple came down and taught us about the reality of the outer room, the reality of the inner room or the Most Holy Place would come to us so that we may know the true reality of the inner room that gives us the complete forgiveness.

Heavenly Most Holy Place, God the Mother

Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–Then who is the Most Holy Place of Heaven that we must go to for the complete forgiveness of our sins? Apostle Paul let us know the true reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem.

Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

The reality of the Holy Place of the temple was God the Father who came to us 2000 years ago. And the reality of the Most Holy Place was God the Mother who would come to us in the last days.

When Jesus destroyed his body of the Holy Place of the temple, he was opening way to the Most Holy Place of the temple. According to the bible, while the outer room of the sanctuary stands, the way to the inner room was closed by the curtain separating between the two rooms. (Heb 9:8) However, when Jesus sacrificed his body as sin offerings, the outer room and the curtain hiding the inner room were destroyed opening way to the Most Holy Place. (Heb 9:11-14, 10:19-20)

The Source of Forgiveness and God the Mother

God the Father wanted to reveal to us God the Mother who is the true source of salvation. The first coming Jesus and second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong wanted us to know about God the Mother.

Adam sacrificed his body and reveal the Eve, the Life to us. The Spiritual Adam God the Father sacrificed himself by destroying his body of temple to lead us to the reality of the Most Holy Place and the Spiritual Eve who can give us eternal life: God the Mother. Now we must come to God the Mother and receive her because she give us the water of life.

Zechariah 13:1 “On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

Zechariah 14:8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.

Revelation 22:17  The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

Come to God the Mother for the forgiveness and eternal life. This is the last message of God to his people.

Conclusion

Through the regulations of the Day of Atonement, God is teaching us that the sins God’s people committed will be taken by Father and Mother temporarily. But in the end all the sins will be handed over to Azazel (or the scapegoat), which is the symbolic representation of Satan.

The Satan will be put into the second death, tormented forever in the fiery furnace.

Revelations 20:10  And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The bible says that Christ came to destory the work of Satan the Devil. (1Jn 3:8) To fulfill this purpose once and for ever, God the Mother the reality of the Most Holy Place came down to this earth. Those who accept God the Mother will recieve the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
