The Meaning of Yom Kippur 9/15 Wednesday Wisdom
As you know, I like to educate Christians on their Hebrew roots. Yom Kippur begins at sunset Wednesday, Sept. 15, and ends at sunset Thursday, Sept. 16, 2021. It is God's appointed day for atonement of sins. Jesus would have observed Yom Kippur, and He is the fulfillment of it.
In biblical times, the high priest made animal sacrifices, and the scapegoat was sent into the wilderness to take away the sins of the people.
from Wikipedia: According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. During the ten Days of Awe, a Jewish person tries to amend his or her behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God and against other human beings... At the end of Yom Kippur, one hopes that their sins have been forgiven by God.
Jesus is the fulfillment of Yom Kippur. By His blood sacrifice He has taken away our sins once and for all so that sacrifices are no longer needed. No longer do we need to "hope" that our sins have been forgiven.
