Lev 16:29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall AFFLICT YOUR SOULS, and DO NO WORK AT ALL, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
Lev 16:30 For on that day SHALL THE PRIEST MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR YOU, to CLEANSE YOU, that ye may be CLEAN FROM ALL YOUR SINS BEFORE THE LORD.
Lev 16:31 It shall be a SABBATH OF REST unto you, and ye shall AFFLICT YOUR SOULS, by a statute for ever.
Lev 16:33 And he shall make an ATONEMENT for the HOLY SANCTUARY, and he shall make an ATONEMENT FOR THE TABERNACLE OF THE CONGREGATION, and FOR THE ALTAR, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
Dan 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the SANCTUARY BE CLEANSED.
*******
The heavenly sanctuary as per the example given to us on earth would need to go through the same ritual atonement as the sanctuary on the earthly day of atonement.
After 2300 years the heavenly sanctuary shall be cleansed.
What does this mean to us, really mean to us? As God works above, as our Savior cleanses the Sanctuary we are to--
Afflict our souls.
Do no work at all.
All while the our Heavenly High Priest makes an atonement for us.
Two things we hate to do-
Afflict our own souls & and let others save us, leaving all our ego behind.
Recognizing our helplessness to save ourselves this is something that is so easy for us to ignore. We strive and strive and strive hoping all our striving will save us. NONE of our striving will save us, only CHRIST can save us!
We must afflict our souls.
We must recognize completely how utterly impossible it is for us to ever be perfect.
Christ is everything, our ALL in ALL.
Christ alone can save.
We can only by HIS grace, yield to Him.
All in HIS LOVE!
