Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, and the Blood of Christby Stephen Yulish PhD
Posted: 00:22 September 25, 2007
 During the Jewish High Holy Day of Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement (Leviticus
16:29-34), the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies in the Temple to
sprinkle sacrificial blood on the Mercy Seat of the Ark to cleanse the sins of
the people of Israel (Leviticus 16:20-22).
A crimson cloth was placed on the outside of the Holy of Holies which would turn white when the process worked
(Isaiah 1:18) and it always did. It always did until forty years before the
destruction of the Temple, when according to the Jews own Talmud (rabbinic
commentary), Yoma 39 and and Rosh Hashanah 312b, this crimson cloth stopped
turning white.
The lot that the High Priest picked for the goat to be
sacrificed to the Lord also ceased coming up in his right hand and began
coming up in his left hand which was the hand which always was for the
scapegoat (Leviticus 16:7-10) which had all the sins placed on it and led
out of town.
Also, according to the rabbis own commentary (Talmud) the western light in the
Temple would not keep burning as before and the doors of the Temple would no
longer open by themselves!
What happened forty years before the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD? Jesus
the Christ died for our sins once and for all around 30 AD. He became the
scarlet thread of salvation. By His blood, our sins are washed away and we are
white as snow. The Temple and its blood sacrifices of goats and bulls
(Leviticus 17:11) were no longer needed to cleanse us of our sins (Hebrews
9:11-15).Jesus is all we now need. He is our High Priest who made atonement
for our sins once and for all in a holy place not built by human hands
(Hebrews 9:24-26).
