The Glory of Christ in The Day of Atonement 贖罪日中基督的榮耀 (Lev The Glory of Christ in The Day of Atonement 贖罪日中基督的榮耀 (Lev. 利未記 16; 23:17-32; Num. 民書記 29:7-11) Leviticus is an enigma of strange laws & mysterious ceremonies & sobering sacrifices. 利未記是奇怪律法、神秘禮儀，與發人深省之祭祀的一個謎。 The Day of Atonement is one of the most unique & mysterious ceremonies commanded by God. What’s it’s purpose? 贖罪日是上帝所吩咐最獨特神秘的禮儀之一。它的目的為何？ We’ll understand God’s purpose when we discover how it relates to the Messiah, Jesus. (Heb. 10:1, 7; John 5:39; I Cor. 10:6-11) 當我們發覺它與彌賽亞耶穌的關係，我們就能明白上帝的目的（來10:1,7；約5:39；林前10:6-11）。

Every Detail of the Day of Atonement is a Prophesy so Powerful it enables us to Believe the Impossible! 贖罪日的每項細節都是強大的預言，使我們能相信不可能的！ God knew how hard it would be to believe we could be saved by Christ’s Death on the Cross so He prepared many supernatural irrefutable miracles to confirm its eternal Truth 上帝知道我們很難相信基督死在十字架上能拯救我們，所以祂預備了許多無法辯駁的奇跡來證實這永恆的真理。 What are those Miracles? Many 100’s of O.T. Biblical Prophesies 這些奇跡是什麼？就是舊約幾百個預言。

Jesus is the one true Omniscient God 耶穌是那位真實無所不知的上帝。 Biblical Prophesy is Powerful Proof the Bible is God’s Word! 聖經預言強有力地證明聖經是上帝的話語 (John 14:29) Jesus said “I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe” (John 13:19) 約14:29 -現在事情還沒有成就，我預先告訴你們，叫你們到事情成就的時候就可以信。(約13:19） Jesus is the one true Omniscient God 耶穌是那位真實無所不知的上帝。 Jehovah fills the O.T. with Prophecies to Prove He Inspired it! (Isaiah 41:22-24; 46:9-10; 48:3-5; Acts 15:18) 耶和華用預言充滿舊約，來證明是祂所默示的！ （賽41:22-24；46:9-10；48:3-5；徒15:18）

The Bible is Greater proof for the Supernatural than someone rising from the Dead! 聖經比人從死裡復活更能證明超自然的存在 Jesus said “If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” (Lk. 16:31) 耶穌說，若不聽從摩西和先知的話，就是有一個從死裡復活的，他們也是不聽勸。(路16:31） 

Even after His resurrection Jesus proved He was the Savior of the World by revealing the O.T. Prophecies about Himself (Lk. 24:25-7, 44-7) 即使在祂復活之後，耶穌還用舊約關於祂的預言，來證實祂是世人的救主。 （路24:25-27,44-47）

Why is God’s Word so Powerful? 為何上帝的話語如此有能力？ 25 % of the Bible is Prophesy: an infallible, irrefutable, concrete proof of the Divine inspiration 聖經25%都是預言：無誤，無可辯駁，具體證明它來自上帝的默示。 There are around 300 major Prophecies of Christ in the O.T. 舊約有300個主要關於基督的預言。

Prophesy is Mathematical Proof of supernatural origin 從數學證明預言起源于超自然 Peter Stoner in his book “Science Speaks,” calculates the probability of just 8 of the 300 major prophecies of Christ being fulfilled in any one individual is 1 in 10 to the 17th power (1 in 100,000,000,000,000) or one in 100 quadrillion! 300個關於基督的主要預言中有8個實現，是100兆之一的可能性。

The most amazing type of Prophesy is “Prophetic Types” Absolutely inexplicable apart from Divine Revelation! 預言中最奇妙的形式是預表 It was impossible to know the prophetic importance of Types until Jesus Christ came & fulfilled their every detail A type is “a shadow, cast by Divine design, of good things to come” & not the very image of the things (Heb. 10:1; 8:5; 9:9, 11). 預表是 - 將來美事的影兒，不是本物的真像(來10:1）

你們查考聖經，因你們以為內中有永生；給我作見證的就是這經。(約5:39） The Entire Old Testament is About Jesus Christ in some way 整本舊約某方面是關於耶穌基督的 "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (John. 5:39) 你們查考聖經，因你們以為內中有永生；給我作見證的就是這經。(約5:39） “Had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me” (John 5:46-7; John 1:45; Acts 26:22) 你們如果信摩西，也必信我，因為他書上有指著我寫的話。(約5:46-47）

The resemblance between the O. T. Shadow (type) & their N. T The resemblance between the O.T. Shadow (type) & their N.T. fulfillment is so striking as to preclude the possibility of chance. They could only be designed by a Sovereign Omniscient God! 舊約預表與新約應驗之間的類似不是偶然，只可能是全知的上帝的設計。

Every Detail of the Tabernacle & its Worship are Prophetic Types teaching countless N.T. Truths! 會幕的每項細節與敬拜都是預表，教導無數的新約真理 The Holy of Holies is a Type of Heaven, the “true tabernacle” (Heb. 9:1-14) 至聖所是天堂的預表-真帳幕（來9:1-14）

Leviticus contains countless Prophetic Types Fulfilled 1500 years after it was Written! 利未記包含數不清的預表，在寫下之後1500年被應驗 Once you learn how to discover Prophetic Types you will never doubt the Divine Inspiration of the Bible. You will know it could only have been inspired by an Omniscient, Omnipotent Sovereign God! LEVITICUS 16 1500 years HEBREWS 9

God’s Purpose in Inspiring Prophetic Types into His Word is to transform our lives! 上帝將預表放入祂的話語中為的是改變我們的人生！ “But we all, …beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Cor. 3:18) 我們眾人既然敞著臉得以看見主的榮光，好像從鏡子裡反照，就變成主的形狀，榮上加榮，如同從主的靈變成的。  (林後3:18）

The Uniqueness of the Day of Atonement(s) (Lev. 16:33) 贖罪日的獨特性（利16:33） A series of expiatory sacrifices 一系列的贖罪祭祀: “for the holy sanctuary” 為聖所 (16:20) “for The tabernacle of the congregation” 為百姓的會幕 “for the altar” 為祭壇 (16:18-20) “the priests” 為祭司 (16:6, 11, 24）& “all the people” 為所有百姓 (16:16, 19, 21, 24)

The Uniqueness of the Day of Atonement(s) 贖罪日的獨特性 The only time The Great High Priest could enter the “Holy of Holies” by himself, into the very presence of God (Lev. 16:2, 12-15, 17)

The Uniqueness of the Day of Atonement(s) 贖罪日的獨特性 The only day God required Israel to ‘Fast’ & “afflict your souls” (in Repentance of sin) or die (“be cut off”)! (Lev. 23:29)

The Glorious Purpose of the Day of Atonement 贖罪日的榮耀目的 (Lev 16:30) “On that day the priest makes an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. 因在這日要為你們贖罪，使你們潔淨。你們要在耶和華面前得以潔淨，脫盡一切的罪愆。 (Lev 16:34) “This shall be an everlasting statute, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. 這要作你們永遠的定例，就是因以色列人一切的罪，要一年一次為他們贖罪。

凡祭司天天站著事奉神，屢次獻上一樣的祭物，這祭物永不能除罪。 Jesus fulfills every Prophetic Detail of Leviticus 16 耶穌應驗利未記16章每一預言的細節 (Heb 10:11) “Every priest standeth daily offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 凡祭司天天站著事奉神，屢次獻上一樣的祭物，這祭物永不能除罪。  Regular sacrifices of the Law totaled 1,273 a yr. (Num. 28 & 29) (Heb 10:12) But this man, after he had offered 1 sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 但基督獻了一次永遠的贖罪祭，就在神的右邊坐下了。 

Jesus fulfills every Prophetic detail of the Day of Atonement (study Hebrews 9) (Heb 10:14) “For by 1 offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (Heb. 10:5, 7; Ps. 40:6-8; Heb. 2:14) 因為他一次獻祭，便叫那得以成聖的人永遠完全。  God declares: “Their sins & iniquities will I remember no more” (Heb 10:17; Jer. 31:33-34) 上帝宣稱- 我不再記念他們的罪愆和他們的過犯。 

Jesus fulfills every Prophetic detail of the Day of Atonement “We have a Great high priest that is passed into the Heavens, Jesus the Son of God” (Heb. 4:14) 我們既然有一位已經升入高天尊榮的大祭司，就是神的兒子耶穌， We are there with Him! (Eph. 2:6)

An Important Introduction (Lev. 16:1-2) 重要的介紹（利未記16:1-2） “The LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, & died; 亞倫的兩個兒子近到耶和華面前死了。死了之後，耶和華曉諭摩西說：  the LORD said: “Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: 「要告訴你哥哥亞倫，不可隨時進聖所的幔子內、到櫃上的施恩座前，免得他死亡， 

The death of Nadab & Abihu is a sobering lesson 拿達、亞比戶的死亡發人深省 They died because they thought they could Worship God their own way (in disobedience to the word of God) (Lev. 10:1-3) We must understand the peril our sin presents in light of the unfathomable Holiness of God! (Phil. 2:12; Heb. 12:28-29) Warning! Abstain from “wine & strong drink” (Lev. 10:9)

God makes the Great High Priest Aaron a “Prophetic Type” of our Holy sinless Great High Priest, Jesus 大祭司亞倫是我們聖潔的大祭司耶穌的預表 1st by supplying a “sin offering” (bullock) for his sin & “burnt offering” (ram) for his total dedication to God (Lev. 16:3; 11, 14, 27-28) 亞倫進聖所，要帶一隻公牛犢為贖罪祭，一隻公綿羊為燔祭。

2nd By Clothing Aaron in Special Garments of Pure White 亞倫穿上特別的白色袍子 (Lev. 16:4) Aaron must put on “the Holy linen Coat”; “the linen breeches”; “the linen girdle”; “linen mitre” 要穿上細麻布聖內袍，把細麻布褲子穿在身上，腰束細麻布帶子，頭戴細麻布冠冕；這都是聖服。 And “wash his entire body in water” 他要用水洗身，然後穿戴。 

Special Pure White Garments make Aaron a Prophetic Type of Jesus (Heb This change of garments pictures the removal of all sin (Zech. 3:3-4 – Joshua!) A Type of Christ’s spotless purity of Character (Matt. 17:2; I Pet. 1:19) & perfect Righteousness (Rev. 19:8)

Jesus fulfills the Prophetic Type of Aaron 耶穌應驗亞倫的預表 We have a “high Priest without sin” (Heb. 4:15) 我們有一位無罪的大祭司（來4:15） Jesus “is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens… 耶穌 - 聖潔、無邪惡、無玷污、遠離罪人、高過諸天的大祭司 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins” (Heb. 7:26-27; Eph. 1:19-21) 他不像那些大祭司，每日必須先為自己的罪獻祭；

Normally the Great High Priest wears garments of “glory & beauty” (Ex Special Robes of day of atonement (Isa. 53:2)

and 1 ram for a burnt offering. 一隻公綿羊為燔祭。 The Special Offering of 2 Goats: (Lev. 16:5, 7-10, 15-22) A Prophetic Type of the Sacrifice of Christ 兩隻山羊的特別獻祭- 預表基督的獻祭 (Lev 16:5) Aaron “takes of the congregation of Israel 2 kids of the goats for a sin offering, 要從以色列會眾取兩隻公山羊為贖罪祭， and 1 ram for a burnt offering. 一隻公綿羊為燔祭。

The Goat is a Prophetic Type of Jesus taking the sinners place as our substitutionary Sacrifice The goat is a picture of the sinner under condemnation (Matt. 25:31-46) Goats are used for sin offerings for they symbolize sinners (Lev. 4:23, 28; 9:15; Ezek. 45:23)

神使那無罪（無罪：原文作不知罪）的，替我們成為罪，好叫我們在他裡面成為神的義。 God “made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2Co 5:21) 神使那無罪（無罪：原文作不知罪）的，替我們成為罪，好叫我們在他裡面成為神的義。  We are all are responsible for the Death of Jesus Christ! Rembrandt painted Himself into his famous picture of the Cross, acknowledging his guilt

2 Goats Portray 2 Aspects of the 1 Sacrifice of Christ 兩隻公山羊描繪基督一次獻祭的兩個層面 One goat “for the LORD” dies in the sinners place & “atones” Israel’s sin (Lev. 16:8, 15-16; Isaiah 53:4-5, 8, 10) Satisfies the wrath of God & Just demands of the Law (Rom. 3:25; Gal. 3:13)

2 Goats Portray 2 Aspects of the 1 Sacrifice of Christ 兩隻公山羊描繪基督一次獻祭的兩個層面 One goat is “the scapegoat” to carry away their sins [Hebrew = ‘azazel’] (Lev. 16:8, 20-22; Ps. 103:12) Justification in God’s eyes: it “bears their iniquities” (Isa. 53:6, 11; Rom. 4:25)

Behold the Grace of God! 瞻仰上帝的恩惠！ (Lev 16:21) “Aaron shall lay his hands upon the head of the live goat, & confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, & all their transgressions in all their sins… 亞倫- 兩手按在羊頭上，承認以色列人諸般的罪孽過犯，就是他們一切的罪愆， (Lev 16:22) And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities” 這羊要擔當他們一切的罪孽， 

Behold the Grace of God in Christ! (1John 1:7) “If we walk in the light, as he is in the light… the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 我們若在光明中行，如同神在光明中…他兒子耶穌的血也洗淨我們一切的罪。  How do you walk in the Light?

Behold the Grace of God! 瞻仰上帝的恩惠！ God so completely forgives His people that he looks upon them as if they had never sinned. The people could not see the blood on the Mercy seat or where the scapegoat ended up. They must simply believe what God has revealed by His Word

But the Day of Atonement was only temporary: What Jesus does is forever! 贖罪日是暫時的，耶穌的獻祭是永遠的! Jesus “by 1 offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (Heb. 10:14) 因為他一次獻祭，便叫那得以成聖的人永遠完全。  Believe what God says in His Word and we will be “perfected for ever!” (I Cor. 15:42-44, 51-57)

The High Priest entered the Holy of Holies 3 Times 大祭司三次進入至聖所 1st He enters with the incense of prayer (Lev. 16:12-13; Ps. 141:2; Heb. 7:25) 2nd enters with the blood of the bullock for His own sin (Lev. 16:14; Heb. 7:26-27) 3rd enter with the blood of the goat to atone the people’s sin (Lev. 16:15; I Pet. 1: 18-19)

Important Lessons 重要功課 1. We need a Great High Priest to obtain Salvation for us! Jesus is our Perfect Great High Priest (Heb. 4:14; 7:26-28; 9:11-14) 2. We need a Perfect Sacrifice appointed by God to pay the Just penalty due to us for our sins Jesus is God’s Perfect Sacrifice (John 1:29) who alone can save us from our sins (Acts 4:12; Heb. 9:28)

Important Lessons 重要功課 3. The Day of Atonement was only a temporary solution for sin. The Blood of the Sinless Christ actually washes away all our sin for ever! (I John 1:7; Heb. 9:13-14)

Important Lessons 重要功課 4. We learn the importance of Genuine Repentance: You must afflict your souls or you will die (“be cut off”) (Lev. 23:29). We must understand the seriousness of sin!

Important Lessons 重要功課 5. “You shall do no work at all” on this day or you would “be destroyed!” (Lev. 16:29; Lev. 23:30) Every religion teaches you need to earn your salvation by your own good works. Our sin is so great there is nothing we can do to save ourselves! We must trust in the finished work of Christ alone! (Rom. 6:23)

Important Lessons 重要功課 6. All the work of salvation was accomplished by the Great High Priest alone in the Holy of Holies (Lev. 16:15-17) Jesus finished the work of our salvation by Himself (John 19:30) Will you believe it? Receive it? And be saved?

Important Lessons 重要功課 7. Like elsewhere in the O.T we find the sin offering (for forgiveness) & the burnt offering (for consecration) together (Lev. 16:3, 5, 24). If we have been saved we must dedicate our lives to God (Matt. 16:24-25)
