In this series, we will be examining the Yom Kippur service that is described in Leviticus 16 and the priestly service of Yom Kippur. In traditional Judaism, the Torah portion reading for Yom Kippur in the morning service is Leviticus 16. This is what we will look at in detail in this session. The afternoon Yom Kippur service, the reading comes from Leviticus 18. The Haftorah portion is reading the book of Jonah. The reason Jonah is read is because this book deals with the subject of repentance and how an entire city repented before Yahweh, thus averting Yahweh’s judgment. Repentance is a major theme of Yom Kippur. The earthly tabernacle that Yahweh gave instructions to Moses to build, is a type and shadow, a “copy” of the true heavenly tabernacle. Yeshua is the High Priest of the Renewed covenant and He superintends this renewed covenant through the Melchezedik Priesthood. Yeshua is our Great High Priest and lives to ever intercede for us: By so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. T
