Jom Kipoer 2010 - Yom Kippur 5771

Jom Kip(p)oer of Grote Verzoendag (Hebreeuws: יום כיפור), voluit Jom ha-Kippoeriem ofwel Dag van de Vergevingen (meervoud), wordt als de belangrijkste feestdag beschouwd in het jodendom. Het was de ene dag in het jaar dat de hogepriester de allerheiligste plaats in de tempel te Jeruzalem betrad om te pleiten voor Gods volk. Bron: Wikipedia


Without Jesus/Yeshua Jew and non-Jew, keeps on being disconnected from God, this is the sad reality of Yom Kippur for the Jewish people, for no one (human being) cannot obtain forgiveness of sins by his/her own merit but only through the blood of the Son (because without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins, Leviticus 17:11, Hebrew 9:22).

"This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and (only) the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John 1:5-10)
