The Day of Atonement and Israel's Future

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

The cleansing of Joshua's filthy robes in Zechariah 3 is a future application of the cleansing in Leviticus 16, when Jesus Christ cleanses Israel in the future.

The Appointed Time for Israel

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Clyde Finklea

Our God, in His purpose and order, has set appointed times for Israel, as revealed in the prophecy of Daniel 9:24. This prophecy concerns the restoration and forgiveness of His people Israel, outlining six specific actions He will take at the determined time of 490 years, culminating in the return of Jesus Christ. First, He will put an end to rebellion among Israel. This rebellion, termed as transgression or "pesha" in Hebrew, signifies outright defiance against known law. When Christ returns, He will bring this type of rebellion to an end, transforming the hearts of Israel. Second, He will make an end of sins, addressing the Hebrew term "chata," which means to fall short or miss the mark. Through His intervention, Christ will bring Israel's sin to completion, ensuring that unrepented sin no longer leads to death. Third, He will make reconciliation for iniquity, covering the Hebrew term "avon," which denotes depravity and stubbornness. Through the process of "kippa," spiritual and moral impurities will be set aside, healing the break between man and God. This reconciliation, achieved through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, will restore Israel to the true God, enabling them to know Jesus as Lord. Fourth, He will bring in everlasting righteousness, which will emanate from Israel to all the world. This righteousness will be taught by those in the first resurrection, starting with the house of Israel, fulfilling the vision of a world learning righteousness. Fifth, He will seal up the prophetic vision, completing the prophecy concerning the restoration of Israel and Jerusalem. God will once again choose Jerusalem as the place for His throne, affirming His covenant with His people. Sixth, He will anoint a Most Holy place, a sanctuary and temple in Jerusalem where God's presence and His Family will reside, marking it as the center of His divine purpose for Israel. In summary, at the appointed time, God will restore Israel to be the holy and righteous nation He intended from the beginning. Through ending rebellion, completing sin, reconciling iniquity, ushering in everlasting righteousness, fulfilling prophecy, and anointing the Most Holy place, He will pour out His Spirit on Israel, forgive their sins, and establish His sanctuary among them.

Who Fulfills the Azazel Goat— Satan or Christ? (Part Four)

'Ready Answer' by David C. Grabbe

The Day of Atonement is not fulfilled with the binding of Satan. Rather, there are numerous prophecies of God atoning for the sins of physical Israel.

Azazel: Endings

Sermon by David C. Grabbe

One goat had to die for cleansing; the other goat had to remain alive for bearing the sins away. Jesus fulfilled both roles. Satan's binding atones for nothing.
