Messianic Israelis have joined international Christian groups in a call for 1 million people to pray one hour for Israel as Jews around the world mark Yom Kippur with fasting and prayer on the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.
1 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Yom Kippur begins Sunday evening, September 24th, and continues until an hour after sunset on Monday, September 25th. Over 5,000,000 believers came together this spring from May 7th to May 28th, leading up to Pentecost and the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, to pray at least one hour a day for Israel.
Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement, is considered the most important holiday in the Jewish faith. Falling in the month of Tishrei (September or October in the Gregorian calendar), it marks the culmination of the 10 Days of Awe, a period of introspection and repentance that follows Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Jews are encouraged to make amends and ask forgiveness for sins committed during the past year. The holiday is observed with a 25-hour fast and a special religious service. Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah are known as Judaism’s High Holy Days.
Christians, if they sin, ask Jesus to forgive them of their sin right then or when they come to the knowledge of a sin. Christians repent (change of mind and heart) and ask for forgiveness.
If you are being told that you don’t have to repent or ask for forgiveness if you sin, you are being told a lie from the devil, and anyone that teaches that is of the devil and doesn’t know God.
