Atonement is only for the penitent. The unrepentant sinner has no atonement, no path back to God, no hope beyond death. He is lost and on his own. #yomkippur #leviticus 16
From This Week's Torah Portion:
“And YHWH said to Avram, ‘Get yourself out of your land, from your relatives and from your father’s house, to a land which I show you. And I shall make you a great nation, and bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing! And I shall bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you. And in you all the clans of the earth shall be blessed.’ So Avram left, as YHWH had commanded him, and Lot went with him. And Avram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Charan. And Avram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the beings whom they had acquired in Charan, and they set out for the land of Kena’an. And they came to the land of Kena’an. And Avram passed through the land to the place of Shekem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. At that time the Kena’anites were in the land. And YHWH appeared to Avram and said, ‘To your seed I give this land.’”
“YHWH said to Avram, ‘Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land which you see I shall give to you and your seed forever. And I shall make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that, if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your seed also could be counted. Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.’”
“And I shall establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be Elohim to you and your seed after you. And I shall give to you and your seed after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Kena’an, as an everlasting possession. And I shall be their Elohim.”
Tomorrow will be one year since the attack on Israel by Hamas. Since thence have witnessed extreme turmoil in that part of the world. 1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” Probably good advice for us this week…
