History Reveals... The day of atonement was kept in ancient israel as a time of fasting & prayer as well The high priest would enter into the holiest of holies with the blood of animals to make recompense for the sins of israel The Holiest of Holies was the inner part of the Tabernacle & later the Temple in Jerusalem where the Ark of the Covenant, which contained the 10 commandments, was placed
The high priest could only enter into the holy place once a year No one else could enter in The high priest represented Christ who is our High Š2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved Priest
History reveals... During the levitical priesthood, the blood of animals were used when making sacrifices & atonements We can see in the scriptures that many sacrifices & atonements were made on Israel’s behalf yet they continued to sin The sacrifice of animals pointed to the time of christ being crucified for us Christ made one sacrifice for our sins forever when he died for us It is Christ’s blood, not the blood of
animals, that cleanses us from sin

Fasting symbolizes our ability to sacrifice the lusts of the flesh & to live a life free from sin Through fasting we become stronger & closer to god When christ fasted 40 days & nights in the wilderness he taught us that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of god Š2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ.

Forgiveness & repentance Remember that ‘atone’ means to reconcile, to make right and recompense Atonement is a day in which we truly evaluate our lives to make certain we are living according to the laws of god We pray to God the father & ask for his mercy & forgiveness for our sins We also pray that the father give us the strength & holy spirit to repent & sin no more Š2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ.

The cost of sin The key phrase is to ‘repent & sin no more’ Sin is not a little thing the cost of sin is very high
It can cost us our lives Sin is the transgression of the 10 commandments the bible, which defines the law, gives us instruction on how to keep it Despite what some may say in the world, it is possible to live a life free from sin ©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved
Everyone is guilty of sin We are all guilty of sin Adam & eve sinned against god & caused a terrible curse to be placed upon humankind What is this curse?....that all flesh would be susceptible to sin & death

No sin is hidden Everything we have done in our lives is recorded in a book This book includes every righteous deed & every sin We must resist temptation & obey because God sees, hears & knows all Let us remember god’s judgment... “the soul that sinneth shall die” ©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved
Hope remains.... In looking at that judgment one might think that there is no hope to be saved Our hope is in christ who was sent on this earth by god the father to die for our sins Through the shedding of christ’s blood.... We were granted forbearance & grace, which provides us the opportunity to turn from sin & walk in truth (See class on “Grace”) The curse of Adam’s sin was taken away, meaning those who obey God would NOT die an ETERNAL DEATH & would rise up in the resurrection during the last days ©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved
During the last days The day of atonement has not been fulfilled He will blot out the sins in our record books with his blood Only then will the sins in our record books be permanently removed For most of God’s people, the evil root or the knowledge of evil is removed at the common death; therefore, they will resurrect with immortal flesh having undefiled hearts & minds For a few, those who will live to see him come, the evil root will be removed during the outpouring of the holy spirit at the time of harvest Š2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ.

Keep this in mind... On the day of atonement we must remember that Christ is in the most holy place in heaven & appearing before God the father on our behalf He is our high priest & atonement We must fast & pray, repenting for our sins just as our ancient fathers did Because Atonement has yet to be fulfilled the door of mercy is still open Let us call upon the Lord today while it is still today Š2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ.

How do we celebrate atonement? The day of atonement is the most holy & solemn day of the year We keep it just like a Sabbath, refraining from any common or recreational activities We decorate our church in red and white to remember christ’s blood & purity Our solemn ceremony includes songs of praise, prayer, hand washing & communion, testimonies & foot washing
