Day of Atonement

(The only commanded fast day of the year, the solemn Day of Atonement.)

Lev 23:27
"Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls."

(In a solemn ceremony on this day of fasting, when God commanded Israel not to eat or drink from sundown to sundown, the high priest enacts a meaning laden ritual.) Lev 16th chap.

(Two goats were to be presented. One was 'for the Eternal' and the other as 'Azazel'.Erroneously called a 'scapegoat.' The Azazel goat was to have all the sins of Israel symbolically placed upon its head, and then was to be lead in the hands of a 'fit man' who would not allow the goat to turn back into the wilderness, where it would be released.
One goat was sacrificed, symbolizing an atonement for sin. A shadow of Christ. The other was to be allowed to wander in the wilderness bearing, figuratively, the sins of Israel upon it.) Lev 16:21

Heb 9:7-12
..."But into the second [the Holy of Holies] went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
The Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holiest [type of heaven, and God's presence] of all was not yet made manifest, while as yet the first tabernacle was yet standing...But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Neither by the blood of goat and calves, but by His own blood He entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us..."

(The sacrifice on the Day of Atonement was quite elaborate. The priest had to carefully wash and dress, and sacrifice an animal for his own sins and had to sprinkle upon the book and the people.) Heb 9:19
(God has decreed that the penalty for sin is death Yet He sent His Son as the Lamb of God to die for the sins of all mankind- to atone for sin so that those who call upon Christ are symbolically covered by His blood. Their sins forgiven.)

(The high priest was a type of Christ, entering through the veil that separated the outer holy place from the Holy of Holies. A type of heaven itself.)

(The Azazel goat is a type of Satan.)

Rev 20:1-2
"And I saw an Angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years."

(This angel was pictured by the fit man.)
(God shows we have all had a partner in sin.)

Heb 9:21-28
"Moreover he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
For Christ is not entered into the holy place made with hands, which are the figures [types] of the true; but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year [Day of Atonement] with blood of others...but now once in the end of the world [age] hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself."
