A holy convocation held on the 10th day of the 7th month of Tisri. This is the most solemn day of the year during which we fast & offer prayers to be forgiven for our sins. To ‘atone’ means to reconcile, to make right and recompense God commands us to celebrate the atonement each year, which points to the time when Christ will blot away our sins with his blood.

3. 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
Priest ©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

4. 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 (See
presentation “The Blood of Christ”)

5. Fasting on atonement
God commands us to fast during the day of
atonement, in which we refrain from consuming
any food & drink from sundown to sundown
SPECIAL NOTE: A new day begins at sundown. Atonement will take place on
Tuesday, October 25th, 2012. We will observe the Atonement beginning
on the sundown of Monday, October 24th to the sundown of October 25th.
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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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

14. Remember...
The Day of Atonement takes place
on October 25, 2012. Because a
new day begins at sundown we will
begin acknowledging the
Atonement on the sundown of
October 24, 2012.
