Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement – Commandments, Love, and Redemption in Yahuah's Kingdom

In this video, we explore the profound significance of Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, and the vital role of keeping Yahuah’s commandments in preparation for this day. Yom Kippur is not only a time of fasting, reflection, and repentance but also a prophetic symbol pointing toward the final judgment—the Great and Terrible Day of Yahuah.
Key Scriptures on Keeping the Commandments:
1. Yahusha’s Call to Obedience:
* John 14:15: "If you love me, keep my commandments."
* This verse reminds us that love for Yahuah is expressed through obedience to His commandments. Yom Kippur is a powerful opportunity to reflect on our walk with Yahuah and realign ourselves with His instructions.
2. Greatness in the Kingdom:
* Matthew 5:19: "Therefore whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
* Yom Kippur is a day to reaffirm our commitment to living and teaching Yahuah’s Word, as greatness in His kingdom is measured by how well we keep and share His commandments.
3. Completing the Full Measure of the Law:
* Matthew 23:23: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone."
* Yahuah's commandments encompass justice, trust, and obedience, and on Yom Kippur, we are reminded not to neglect these key aspects of our love while continuing to honor all His commandments.
4. Delighting in Yahuah’s Law – Psalm 119:
* Psalm 119:1-2: "Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of Yahuah. Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!"
* Yom Kippur calls us to seek Yahuah with our whole heart, walking in His ways, and reflecting on how we can better align our lives with His laws.
5. The First Commandment:
* Deuteronomy 6:5: "You shall love Yahuah your Alahim with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."
* On Yom Kippur, we take the time to examine whether we truly love Yahuah with all our being and strive to eliminate anything that hinders our full devotion to Him.
Yom Kippur: A Day of Atonement and Reflection
Yahuah’s children—those who have accepted His covenant, follow His instructions, and are grafted into Yisharal—have already been atoned for through the blood of Yahusha, the Passover Lamb. However, Yom Kippur remains a vital time for us to reflect, repent, and recommit ourselves to walking in obedience to His commandments. As we prepare for the Great and Terrible Day of Yahuah, when the nations will be judged, this Qodesh day reminds us of the importance of choosing to serve Yahuah, and the blessings that come through obeying His Word.
Join us as we delve into the meaning of Yom Kippur and discover the spiritual lessons embedded in this sacred day, drawing closer to Yahuah through repentance, obedience, and love.
