A day given to the Israelites
Instructions given for the sacrifices
A covering for the priest and his family
who then sacrifices for the nation
a covering for their sins for the year
followed year after year after year
A Shadow of the Substance what is to come
The Messiah came - the Substance
who is the Perfect Sacrifice
the High Priest
The only Mediator between God the Father and us
who not only covers our sin for time being
but who forgives
and cleanses us from all unrighteousness
with covers us with His righteousness
The Perfect Sacrifice
and Love for all mankind
Stop striving to be perfect - we can't be
and accept His atonement for you
which alone will cover and cleanse you
Confess you sins, and Trust Him to cleanse and Forgive you

Hebrews 9: 13-14
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
