My beloved Jewish friend and also Gentile friend, may I ask you these very personal questions on the Day of Atonement? Where is YOUR atonement (covering) for your transgressions against the RIGHTEOUS Holy Law of Almighty G-d (Lev. 17:11, Isa. 53)? Where is YOUR sin-offering for your cleansing of transgressions against the Holy Law of Almighty G-d (Lev. 4, 17:11, Isa. 53)? Where is YOUR lamb to offer in your place for your transgressions (Lev. 17:11, Isa. 53)? Where is YOUR propitiation that FULLY satisfies the PERFECT RIGHTEOUS DEMANDS OF THE HOLY LAW OF G-D (Isa. 53:10-11, Zech. 12:8-14)? Have...

The FULFILLMENT OF THE DAY OF ATONEMENT! WHEN YESHUA RETURNS TO ISRAEL! (Lev. 23:27-32, Zech. 12:10-14; 13:1;8-9; Rev. 19:11-21).

Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, begins today at sundown and ends tomorrow at sundown. The evening service begins with the Kol Nidre. It has a haunting melody. Listen. This is the translation from Aramaic: All vows, obligations, oaths, and anathemas, whether called ‘konam,’ ‘konas,’ or by any other name, which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next (whose happy coming we await), we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not...

Israel has launched a campaign calling for the United Nations to recognize Judaism’s holiest day, Yom Kippur, as an official holiday. Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Ron Prosor sent a letter to all U.N. member states, saying there are three major monotheistic religions, but only two—Christianity and Islam—are recognized by the U.N. calendar. “Such discrimination at the U.N. must end,” Prosor said in an excerpt of the letter sent to journalists Friday by Israel’s U.N. Mission. …

Introspection by Ari Bussel “Israeli society, over all, is moderate centrist, value-driven (even if there are times of crises) and strong. For decades I hear cries from the Right (similar to your own) and the Left, and see what a wonder – not one of these comes into being. I suggest you breathe deeply, calm down and look at the positive sides: a reasonable economy, a stable democracy, fight-to-the-end at public corruption, fight against organized crime, a public health care system, a new and promising education minister, a nation that enlisted and reduced 20% from its home water consumption due...

The Day of Atonement: Removal of Sin's Cause and Reconciliation to God We have already seen—through the symbolism involved in the Passover—that Christ's shed blood atones for our past sins. In fact, atonement means reconciliation. The Day of Atonement symbolizes the reconciliation of God and all humanity. If we are reconciled to God through Christ's sacrifice, why do we need another Holy Day to teach us about reconciliation? If we are already reconciled, why do we need to fast, as commanded on the Day of Atonement? (Leviticus 23:27; Acts 27:9). What is this day's specific significance in God's master plan...

Blowing up children. Beheading innocents. Yes, Satan is alive and well on planet earth like Hal Lindsey wrote in his best-seller of the 70's. Big Brother rules this earth. The true church has fallen and the remnant is lukewarm. Then why is he so angry? He knows the rest of the story. He knows a prophet is coming to turn hearts back to God. He will persecute this true church but it will be taken to a place of safety in the wilderness (Petra), Rev. 12:12-14 and Isa. 16:3,4. He can't touch the Bride of Christ there. So he will...

It seems like just a trivia question. "What was the first full-length talking picture?" Answer: 1927's "Jazz Singer'' with Al Jolson. But the dilemma faced by Jolson's character, Jakie Rabinowitz, is anything but trivial. Jakie's father insists that his son's main responsibility is to continue the family tradition: he is to become the fifth generation of Rabinowitz cantors. But Jakie has other ideas. Disowned by his father and rejecting his own roots, he becomes Jack Robin, an up-and-coming jazz singer. But just as Jack gets his big break and is about to open on Broadway, he gets disturbing news. His...

Good News For The Day ‘And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.’ (Romans 11:6) Grace is enormously powerful; efficient. It is the kindness of God, by means of which he thinks lovingly, of each one, even before they are born. Them taking hold of them in life, brings them to Christ; to faith hope and love. Though grace is dynamic-even formidable-there is something that can stop it being what it is, namely, works. Works is a shorthand term for human effort and ingenuity, aimed at achieving a...
