Yom Kippur
What are we celebrating?
God forgives the sins of the Israelites. Our High Priest, Jesus, forever atones for our sins. On this day, the Great White Throne Judgement occurs (Revelation 20:11-15; Acts 10:42).
Tradition
To afflict ourselves by fasting. It is traditional to wear white to this service. Wearing white symbolizes both the cleansing of our sins and the looking forward to our wedding day with the Lord.
This is Jesus’ wedding day - the Wedding Feast of the Lamb (Revelation 19:9). It is the “fast of fasts” now because it will be the “feast of feasts” in the future.
History
The High Priest enters the Holy of Holies only on this day once a year to make atonement for Israel. The Tabernacle and the Temple were both dedicated on this day.
Fulfillment
Jesus, our High Priest, forever atones for our sins. The Great White Throne Judgement occurs. The wedding of Jesus and His Bride takes place.
Personal Application
Fast, pray, and repent in preparation for your future wedding day.

Sukkot
What are we celebrating?
We remember that God once lived among His people.
Tradition
On the first day, people gather for a sacred assembly. We celebrate before the Lord with fruit, palm fronds, leafy branches, and willows. For seven days, we live in temporary shelters called Sukkot.
The Lulav: Which are you?
- Willow: No fruit, no fragrance. This represents a person with no good deeds and no knowledge of the Bible.
- Myrtle: Fragrance but no fruit. This is a person who knows the Bible but has no good deeds.
- Palm: Bears fruit but has no fragrance. This is a person with good deeds but no knowledge of the Bible.
- Citron: Fruit and fragrance. This represents a person with both good deeds and knowledge of the Bible.
History
The Israelites lived in temporary shelters for 40 years after leaving Egypt. During that time, God Himself lived among them.
Fulfillment
This feast was fulfilled when Jesus was born, as God came to live in human form. It also looks forward to a time when God will live with humanity forever. (Rev. 21)
Personal Application
We will receive new physical bodies and dwellings to live with God forever.
