Yom Kippur 2014 in Israel
May your name forever be inscribed in the Lamb's book of life!
No food no drink for 25 hours on the somber Biblical holyday of Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement/at-one-ment with God.
The whole country of Israel literally shuts down for 25 hours. Even in this modern erra we live in, the international airport called Ben Gurion here in Tel Aviv is shut down. All cars are parked except for emergency vehicles. All stores are closed. These pictures which were taken from my second story hotel room are what the street looks like next to the beach here in Tel Aviv that is usually bustling 24 hours a day 7 days a week with cars. God is calling His people everywhere to remember that there is no righteousness without repentance and no way to define repentance without the Torah AKA the first five books of the Bible better known as Moses' law and he is using Israel and the Jews to bring this fact to our remembrance.
Matthew 5:17
"Don't ever think that I came to set aside Moses' Teachings or the Prophets. I didn't come to set them aside but to make them come true. 18I can guarantee this truth: Until the earth and the heavens disappear, neither a period nor a comma will disappear from Moses' Teachings before everything has come true. 19So whoever sets aside any command that seems unimportant and teaches others to do the same will be unimportant in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does and teaches what the commands say will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20I can guarantee that unless you live a life that has God's approval and do it more faithfully than the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
God's Word Translation
Leviticus
23:26 And Yahuwah spake unto Moses, saying,
23:27 Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto Yahuwah.
23:28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it [is] a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before Yahuwah your Elohim.
23:29 For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
23:30 And whatsoever soul [it be] that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
23:31 Ye shall do no manner of work: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:32 It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
This was posted in the my hotel.
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelaton 22:17
