Day of Atonement
The Day of Atonement is on the 10th of
Tishri and is the most holy day of the year. After forty days, Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with the second set of tablets at the end of
Teshuvah. This is the only day the High Priest enters the temple's Holy Place. He sacrifices a ram, bull and goat then sprinkles the blood on the Ark of the Covenant. This is a day of national repentance and forgiveness for the sins of Israel. The Jewish people observe a twenty-five hour fast of food and water. Atonement is fulfilled on the
Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn (
Zechariah 12:10).
Feast of Tabernacles
The Feast of Tabernacles is the 15th to 21st of
Tishri. It is a joyous celebration of the presence of God. On Tabernacles, the first Jewish temple was dedicated by Solomon and the Spirit of God entered the temple. God the Father dwelt in the tabernacle and temple. Jesus Christ was conceived on
Hanukkah but was born on Trumpets or Tabernacles. See
First Coming. God the Holy Spirit dwells within Christians today. During Tabernacles, the people live in booths. The Feast of Tabernacles is fulfilled when God the Son begins His reign as God dwells with humanity during the future Millennium.
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God (
Revelation 21:3).
The seven days of God are God's plan for the redemption of humanity and the return of Jesus Christ. Four days were fulfill on exact days in the spring so three future days will be fulfilled on exact days in the month of
Tishri.
Trumpets is the Rapture, Atonement is the
Second Coming and
Tabernacles is the reign of Jesus Christ.
Let no man judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the reality is Christ (
Colossians 2:16-17).
