2 The Lord s Feasts Are Appointed Times These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. Lev 23:4 (KJV) The Day Of Atonement

3 Rosh Hashanah The Hebrew Civil New Year 1. Rosh: Beginning or head 2. Shanah: Year or Head of the Year. Also believed to mark the beginning of Creation.

4 The Feasts Are Appointed Times Of The Lord The Hebrew word Moedim Appointed Times The Hebrew word Miqra Rehearsal Practice for a future event Exod 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. (KJV)

5 The Millennial Reign Of Jesus Zech 14:16-19 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. (KJV)

6 Why 100 Blasts Of The Trumpets? ON THE first day of the seventh month [on New Year's Day of the civil year], you shall have a holy [summoned] assembly; you shall do no servile work. It is a day of blowing of trumpets for you [everyone blowing who wishes, proclaiming that the glad New Year has come and that the great Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles are now approaching]. Num 29:1 AMP

7 Fall Feasts Overview Elul 1 Begins The 30 days Of Teshuvah (returning) and Preparation prior to Atonement. The Three Levels Of Returning Are 1. Repentance of sinful ways and deeds. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; KJV 2. Turn back to God first. Ex 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. KJV 3. Turn back to His word. Ps 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path KJV

8 This Is How It Plays Out 1. Elul 1, Set your life in order / 30 days of trumpet warnings for us and to remind God of His Mercy. 2. Tishri 1, The Trumpet sounds / inscriptions are made in three groups of books. Then we enter the 10 Days of Awe. I. The Book of the Righteous, with names inscribed in it. II. The Book of the Unrighteous, where names are blotted out. III. The Book of the Lukewarm, those who must decide.

9 Books Mentioned In The Bible 1. The Book of The Living. Also referred to as Book of Destiny. Ps 69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. Psa. 139:16 2. The Book Tears. Ps 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 3. The Lamb s Book of Life. Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev. 3:5

10 4. The Book of Remembrance. Mal 3:11-18 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? 15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. 16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. (KJV)

11 Context Is King To understand the book of remembrance we must understand the background of when this is written. The Jews had just returned from captivity (Nehemiah / Artaxerxes) and were spending and investing in themselves. The House of The God was being ignored and forsaken in lieu of personal interests. The Prophet Malachi rebukes the people for ingratitude, unfaithfulness and lack of Godly fear. Prophet Malachi directly relates these behaviors to their failure to bring tithes and offerings into the store house.

12 Mal 3:8-11 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. (KJV) 1. It is not a by chance that Malachi speaks of the peoples ingratitude, unfaithfulness, lack of Godly fear and lack of giving in the same chapter. 2. Then in the same chapter he mentions The Book of Remembrance. 3. He then implies that those who fear and remember The Lord and His Storehouse will be inscribed into God s Book of Remembrance.

13 The Acts of Those Who Rob God Mal 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. (KJV)

14 The Bema Seat Of Christ a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD and remember His Name. Mal 3:16 2 Cor 5:10 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. (KJV)

15 Atonement / Yom Kippur Lev 23:28 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. Lev 23:31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. (KJV) The single most important day of the Hebrew and Christian year is the Day of Atonement.

16 The Theme Of Holiness Is Central To The Day Of Atonement. The word HOLY comes from the Hebrew word (KODOSH) Holy is used more than 80 times. The word KODOSH means to set apart or to cut apart. Lev 20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you (to make a distinction, cut apart) from other people, that ye should be mine. (KJV)

17 The Biblical Name The biblical name for the Day of Atonement is YOM KIPPUR, meaning The Day of Covering or Concealing. This sacrificial system was designed to cover sin until it was finally put away through the death of Jesus Christ. Lev 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. (KJV)

18 The Blood Is A Token Of The Covenant Covenant Matt 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (KJV) Gives life. John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (KJV) Brings redemption. Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; (KJV)

19 Makes propitiation (compensation). Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; (KJV) Justifies man. Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (KJV) Provides access through forgiveness. I Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

20 Provides reconciliation. Col 1:19-20 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. (KJV) Provides cleansing. I Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (KJV) Makes us over comers. Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (KJV)

21 The Four Elements Of Atonement Lev 23:27-28 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. (KJV) We declared on Yom Kippur a solemn assembly, with the Bridegroom night of burnt offerings (intercession) in repentance.

22 The 4 Elements Of Atonement 1. Hold A Convocation (Assembly). 2. Humble Your Souls (Fasting). 3. Present An Offering (burnt & peace Jud. 20:26). Burnt offering is for sinfulness Christ the Messiah. Peace / Heave / Wave offering. One part for the Priest (house of worship) and the rest for the those offering it in order to feed the poor during Tabernacles, it represents a meal with the Lord. 4. Do No Work. A day of reflection before the Lord.

23 The Day Of Atonement It begins at Sunset on the 9 th. of Tishrei and ends at sunset on the 10 th. of Tishrei. Atonement is a day to devote 24 hours to prayer and worship unto The King of Kings. In Israel the whole country stops and there are no cars on the roads, even secular Hebrews take this day off. For the Christians we are to stop all activities besides prayer and worship, we are to stop eating and drinking (afflict our souls). In other words all of our being is being summoned to The Presence of The Lord!

24 This Was Done Once Per Year Lev 16:11-19 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:

25 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. (KJV)

26 Jesus Our High Priest Lives' To Make Intercession For Us Heb 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (KJV)

27 Customs and Traditions On Atonement The evening before Atonement is the Tishrei 9 meal, which is similar to a traditional Sabbath meal. It takes place before sunset. The Kiddush, prayer over wine, is not recited, but the blessing over the challah bread a traditional Jewish bread, eaten on Sabbath is prayed for. Blessed are you king of the universe who delivers forth bread from the earth.

28 Atonement Memorial Lights in memory of parents who are deceased, are lit and burn throughout Yom Kippur. Then the two holiday candles are lit and blessed. This lighting signals the beginning of Yom Kippur, which means no eating or drinking from this point. First Blessing: Blessed are You Adonai, Eternal One, Who enables us to welcome Yom Kippur by kindling these lights.

29 Atonement Second Blessing: Blessed are You Adonai, King of the universe, Who has kept us alive, sustained us, and encouraged us to observe this day. Blessings over Children: May God make you like (for a boy) Ephraim and Menasseh, (for a girl) like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah. May God bless you and safeguard you. May God illuminate his countenance for you and be gracious to you. May God turn his countenance to you and establish peace for you.

30 Five Traditions That Are Observed Under The Talmud (oral law) Five Prohibitions practiced by Hebrews: Once the holiday candles are lit, Yom Kippur and its five prohibitions take effect. From sunset to sunset, there is; 1. No eating or drinking. 2. No bathing. 3. No using creams or oils. 4. No wearing leather shoes, orthodox Jews routinely wear canvas sneakers under there dress on Yom Kippur. 5. No sexual relations. However, children not yet bar-mitzvah, women who are pregnant or nursing, and anyone who is sick or infirm, may eat and drink as needed.

31 Open Gates During Neilah, the ark is left open for maximum communication between the congregation and God. At the conclusion of the service, the shofar is blown again. It is custom for the congregation to remain standing.

32 Closing The Gates Neilah: This is the final, or concluding service of Yom Kippur. The Hebrew word, neilah, means locked, and is meant to symbolize the closing gates of heaven. Break-The-Fast: When the fast is over, families eat a light dairy meal, bagels, lox or soup. Juice and coffee are almost always present

33 This Why The Trumpets Sound For 40 Days We must ask ourselves what will remain if all of my worldly possessions, career successes and personal works were tested by fire on the day of Atonement / October 2 nd.? The issue for believers is, just what have you sown into heaven? 1 Cor 3:12-15 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 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. (KJV)

34 But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward. 15 But if any person's work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. 1 Cor 3:12-15 AMP

35 This Is How It Plays Out 1. Elul 1, Set your life in order / 30 days of trumpet warnings for us and to remind God of His Mercy. 2. Tishri 1, The Trumpet sounds / inscriptions are made in the books. We enter the 10 Days of Awe. 3. Tishri 10, Atonement / Judgment, Judgment Seat of Christ, The books are opened sealed. 4. Tishri 15-22, The Time of Tabernacles. Inscribed and Sealed in the books record how we start our Tabernacling with the Lord for the New Year.

36 The Lord s Feasts Are Appointed Times These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. Lev 23:4 (KJV)
