that without the shedding of blood,
without sacri6clal death there can be
no Divine forgiveness Of sins.
For more than sixteen centuries Is
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 III which to make
