26 August 2023

Yom Kippur (or the Day of Atonement) begins on the evening of 26 August (at the end of Shabbat) and lasts through the evening of 27 August (the end of the first day).

Significance:

This day represents the day of the ancient Hebrew Wedding ceremony, when our Husband (Yeshua) expects to find a pure bride. He will take those brides who are ready and waiting for Him faithfully.

Fasting:

Yom Kippur is a day to “afflict our souls”, meaning that we should deny our flesh of normal, daily pleasures. Those who are able to should go without food and water for this 24-hour period, giving the day wholly unto Elohim. [If you are pregnant or have another health condition where fasting is a health risk, please pray about how to deny your flesh during this 24-hour period. There may be other things that you can sustain from this day.] Otherwise, this is a day for fasting, denying our fleshly desires, and striving to get rid of anything that our Husband Yeshua would find displeasing to Him.

Forgiveness:

Also, if another spiritual brother or sister is indebted to us in any way, this is a day for genuine forgiveness of those debts, as we would want Yeshua to forgive our debts.
No Servile Work: Yahweh commands us to do no servile work on this day (no work for pay). Who wants to work during their own wedding ceremony and miss that special time with Yeshua? Absolutely not!

29 “This shall be a statute forever for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether a native of your own country or a stranger who dwells among you.

Vayiqra (Leviticus) 16:29

We pray that you will all have a blessed Yom Kippur and that Yeshua will please find us all pleasing, Proverbial 31 brides.
