lsrasl's Atonomsnt Sacrifices.
Each year, at approximately this sea-

thought to be covered afresh for the

tael observed these typical Atonement
Day services, up to the time that Jesus
came. Since then the Jews can have no
Atonement Day, really, because their
priestly line is lost, and they have no
Holy and Most Holy in which to make
the Atonement, and no shekinah
Mercy. on which the blood of
Atonement may be placed, and from
which Divine blessing and forgiveness
should proceed.
In their typical procedure the Day Of
Atonement included all the Atonement
work Of the priest on the tenth day Of
the seventh month. His Atonement sac
tifce consisted Of two parts-frst, a
bullock. which he slew, and afterward
goat. which he treated in like man
ner. He took the blood Of the bullock
into the Most holy and applied It, not
on behalf Of Israel, but simply on be.

After accomplishing this be came
out and slew the secondary part Of
his Offering, the Lords goat, which
Vpi6ed those consecrated to be his
under-priesthood. After treating the
goat precisely az the bullock had been
treated. it's blood was taken into the
Most Holy and there was sprinkled on
the Mercy Seat, not on behalf Of the
tribe Of Levi, but on behalf Of all the
other tribes-on behalf Of :all the peo-

Jesus. a. the appointed antitypical
Priest after the order Of Melchisedec,
offered up Himself-His human body
when He reached manhood's estate
thirty years. Gradually He fulfilled
His baptism unto death. for three and
q half years, completing It at Calvary.
During His earthly ministry. as a
Priest he was in the holy, having
fellowship with the Father. At Cal

second veil, and In His resurrection
arose on the other side Of the veil, in
the Most Holy-in the perfect spirit
condition.
Our Lord remained for forty days to
manifest Himself to His disciples, at.
ter which He ascended on high and
presented the merit Of His sacrifice
