Has the Yom Kippur Mystery of Azazel Finally Been Solved?
Israel 365 News ^ | 9/24/23 | Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

Posted on 09/25/2023 7:50:55 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Since the destruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, the holy day of Yom Kippur has been observed with intense prayer and fasting. But the Bible mandates 15 specific sacrifices and many other rituals for Yom Kippur outlined in Leviticus chapter 16. This included the Kohen Gadol (high priest) wearing five different sets of garments, immersion in the mikvah (ritual bath) five times, and washing his hands and feet ten times. The temple service on Yom Kippur was the only time the Kohen Gadol entered the Kodesh Kedoshim (holy of holies) three times, the only day of the year he was permitted to enter the site that lay at the heart of the Temple. The day culminated in a lottery that chooses between two goats, purchased at the same time, that were identical in appearance and worth. The fate of the two goats is intertwined and should one goat die, an entirely new set must be provided as it is not sufficient to merely replace the deceased animal. It is interesting to note that the Hebrew word for the lottery (גורל) also means ‘fate.’

Two gold plates, one inscribed with the word “to God” and the other with “to Azazel”, are presented to the Kohen Gadol. He blindly assigns each gold plate to a goat. The goat that is assigned the plate inscribed with “to God” is sacrificed in the normal manner, slaughtered by the Kohen Gadol, and burned on the altar inside the Temple as a sin offering. Its blood was sprinkled in the Holy of Holies eight times. The one exceptional aspect of that sacrifice is that the confession of sins that normally precedes sin offerings is omitted.

Please don't slander Judaism on it's most important holiday. Your comment is in extremely poor taste.

Not at all, I posted the truth. I was responding to the one who posted the article.

Everyone thinks their religion is the truth. But posting it like that on the holiday that you did demonstrates bad intent and shows a lack of respect.

The Messianic Jews who died in the Holocaust were fully Jewish as well. They lived and died as Jews. I’m more Jewish than before.

Interesting. Here is an interview with Velvel Jones, a (former, he’s deceased) Ben Noach, a Noahide, who is mentioned in the article.

As far as actual Jews are concerned, there is but ONE G-d. There is absolutely no role for JC. This is declared, several times, in every actually Jewish prayerbook, not the prayerbooks you messyonics have altered to look Jewish, but which are not. You attack my religion every time you try to promulgate your outright lies and deception, and I will not let that go unchallenged. Stop using the forum as a pulpit for your lies. Stop declaring that if people don't accept "yeshua", they will not be saved or whatever. Cut out mentions of Judaism and your false statements about it, no mentions of "yeshua", no mentions of your "religion" of deception and lies, and you won't hear from me.

But I bet that you won't be able to leave your attempt to proselytize alone. It's what you and your fellow cult members do.

Amen. It’s not bad enough that you try to hijack Judaism every other day of the year, at least leave us alone on our holiest day!

Messianic Jews worship a false “god” in a church - they aren’t practicing Judaism in any way, even if they started that way in life - they merely mock it.
