Seeing Jesus in Yom Kippur
This year, Yom Kippur is September 24-25. In Leviticus 23:26-32, the Day of Atonement was special, and required a 24-hour feast of repentance. This feast isn’t for the church, but for the Israelites—God’s old covenant people.
Seeing Jesus in Rosh Hashanah
The Feast of Trumpets (also known as Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year) starts on September 15 this year. In the Old Testament (Leviticus 23:25), it was in preparation for the Feast of Atonement and announced the voice of God and His might in warfare, gatherings, and coronations.
