Gee, thanks for telling us Jews all about Jesus on the eve of the holiest day of our year. Can’t you give up prostletizing for one day?

[veracious]

May your name be written in the book of life.

Thanks for the reminder! "The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" was referenced numerous times in the Old Testament. For example, the following written 700 years before Jesus Christ was born:

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah 53)

He is the Word Made Flesh.

Day of Atonement is one of His Days.

What He did on that day is why there was a 40 day purification law for a mother who gave birth to an Israelite boy.

What He did on that day is one reason the number 1,260 is used in the bible.

1,260 days(aka 42 months aka 3 1/2 years) after the Day of Atonement is another appointed day He taught Israel.Another important day in the life of the Word Made Flesh.

And,what He did on the Day of Atonement is the reason Israel was called to fast and afflict themselves.

Christianity and Judaism would be blessed to understand what ‘And The Word Became Flesh’ truly means.

And most are actually going to be a day early with Yom Kippur,contrary to His Word...because of rome.

which would be juicy for some anti rome christians to know-but they’d discover they are in the same boat..

All for His Glory!

I’d like the title to be changed at least. It is offensive to portray this kind of Christianity as Judaism. At least take Yom Kippur out of the title.

[EliRoom8]

After the article, a reader comments:
The author here mentions in passing “Tradition states that a cord of red wool was tied to the horn of the scapegoat....” but fails to mention where that tradition may be found.
It is in the Jewish Talmud, in Yoma 39. The red wool turned white miraculously year after year until 30 AD, the year Jesus was crucified. According to the Talmud, for the remaining 40 years of the temple’s existence the red wool never turned white again.
Talk about a strong piece of evidence for Jesus being God’s Messiah! Remember the Talmud was written by Jews that did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and yet they give several pieces of evidence (including this one) that he was INDEED the Messiah!

Whenever I hear someone use “Yeshua” instead of “Jesus”, my first thought is always “this person will be strange”.

[Hrvatski Noahid]

Christianity violates the Torah Law prohibition of creating a new religion. G-d does not have a body or any form. He is not a dead man on a cross.
