The feasts of the seventh month, The month of Tishri, as yet dose not have its counterpart, its implementation in the church. The Lord commanded that Aaron, the priesthood, not enter the Most Holy Place without having washed, clothed themselves with the appropriate garments and made sacrifice. Lev. 16:2-5 Aarons sons had been slain by the Lord because they had offered incense and strange fire, that which was of their own choosing and not from the fire on the altar which the Lord had kindled. Lev. 10:1-2 The Lord hates an imitation and will take appropriate action. We have an example of the seriousness of toying with the Holy Spirit, in Ananias and Sapphira. They could have given any amount, or portion of that which they had received but instead chose to lie to the Holy Ghost. Consequently they died on the scene. Acts 5:1-10 This is an example of the cleansing of the Sanctuary. The Lord will sanctify His church and cleanse her from all that is contrary to His standard of holiness. Eph. 5:27
The Day of Atonement required a priest who was anointed. In the anointed ministry of the church of the last days the anointing of the Spirit will be a priority. Without that precious anointing oil, the oil of the Apothecary, which is the Holy Spirit, the church cannot function. Ex. 30:25-30 The last day church will know an anointing greater than that of the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem. The glory of the latter housie shall be greater than the former. Hag. 2:9 The man who ministered has to be clothed with garments of holiness. A through, complete atonement was to be made. For the high priest and his family. For the holy sanctuary, the tabernacle, the altar and the people. Lev. 16:33 The Atonement (the blood) was also applied to the mercy seat. Lev. 16:14
That which is foreshadowed in the Day of Atonement will become a living reality in the day when the Lord separates His true church from that which comes short of His high standards. His true people will bear His image. As Christ was in the image and likeness of God the Father, so the church will be like Christ. She will bear not only His likeness but His anointing and power as well. She will be changed from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord. Not in theory but in all actuality. His Bride is sanctified, purified and fully glorified with the fullness of His glory. 2 Cor. 3:18.
